description: We recently identified several (4–8) quantitative trait loci (QTL) for 3 physical activity traits (daily distance, duration, and speed voluntarily run) in an F2 population of mice derived from an original intercross of 2 strains that exhibited large differences in activity. These QTL cumulatively explained from 11% to 34% of the variation in these traits, but this was considerably less than their total genetic variability estimated from differences among inbred strains. We therefore decided to test whether epistatic interactions might account for additional genetic variation in these traits in this same population of mice. We conducted a full genome epistasis scan for all possible interactions of QTL between each pair of 20 chromosomes. The results of this scan revealed an abundance of epistasis, with QTL throughout the genome being involved in significant interactions. Overall, epistatic effects contributed an average of 26% of the total variation among the 3 activity traits. These results suggest that epistatic interactions of genes may play as important a role in the genetic architecture of physical activity traits as single-locus effects and need to be considered in future candidate gene identification studies.

description: It is generally acknowledged that software testing is both challenging and time-consuming. Understanding the factors that may positively or negatively affect testing effort will point to possibilities for reducing this effort. Consequently there is a significant body of research that has investigated relationships between static code properties and testability. The work reported in this paper complements this body of research by providing an empirical evaluation of the degree of association between runtime properties and class-level testability in object-oriented (OO) systems. The motivation for the use of dynamic code properties comes from the success of such metrics in providing a more complete insight into the multiple dimensions of software quality. In particular, we investigate the potential relationships between the runtime characteristics of production code, represented by Dynamic Coupling and Key Classes, and internal class-level testability. Testability of a class is considered here at the level of unit tests and two different measures are used to characterise those unit tests. The selected measures relate to test scope and structure: one is intended to measure the unit test size, represented by test lines of code, and the other is designed to reflect the intended design, represented by the number of test cases. In this research we found that Dynamic Coupling and Key Classes have significant correlations with class-level testability measures. We therefore suggest that these properties could be used as indicators of class-level testability. These results enhance our current knowledge and should help researchers in the area to build on previous results regarding factors believed to be related to testability and testing. Our results should also benefit practitioners in future class testability planning and maintenance activities.

description: Prolonged selective breeding of Hsd:ICR mice for high levels of voluntary wheel running has favored an unusual phenotype (mini-muscle [MM]), apparently caused by a single Mendelian recessive allele, in which hindlimb muscle mass is reduced by almost 50%. We recently described the creation and phenotypic characterization of a population suitable for mapping the genomic location of the MM gene. Specifically, we crossed females from a high-runner line fixed for the MM allele with male C57BL/6J. F1 males were then backcrossed to the MM parent females. Backcross (BC) mice exhibited a 50:50 ratio of normal to MM phenotypes. Here, we report on linkage mapping of MM in this BC population to a 2.6335-Mb interval on MMU11. This region harbors ∼100 expressed or predicted genes, many of which have known roles in muscle development and/or function. Identification of the genetic variation that underlies MM could potentially be very important in understanding both normal muscle function and disregulation of muscle physiology leading to disease.

description: Exercise improves many aspects of human health, yet many people remain inactive even when exercise is prescribed. We previously created a backcross (BC) between mice selectively bred for high levels of voluntary wheel running (VWR) and fixed for “mini muscle” (MM), a recessive mutation causing ∼50% reduction in triceps surae mass. We previously showed that BC mice having the MM trait ran faster and further than mice without MM and that MM maps to chromosome 11. Here, we genotyped the BC with genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling voluntary exercise and tissue and body mass traits and to determine whether these QTL interact with the MM locus or with sex. We detected 3 VWR QTL, representing the first voluntary exercise QTL mapped using this high running selection line, and 5 tissue mass QTL. Several interactions between trait QTL and the MM locus as well as sex were also identified. These results begin to explain the genetic architecture of VWR and further support MM as a locus having major effects, including its main effects on the muscle phenotype, its pleiotropic effects on wheel running and tissue mass traits, and through its interactions with other QTL and with sex.

description: Abstract All regions of the US experience disasters which result in a number of negative public health consequences. Some populations have higher levels of social vulnerability and, thus, are more likely to experience negative impacts of disasters including emotional distress, loss of property, illness, and death. To mitigate the impact of disasters on at-risk populations, emergency managers must be aware of the social vulnerabilities within their community. This paper describes a qualitative study which aimed to understand how emergency managers identify social vulnerabilities, also referred to as at-risk populations, in their populations and barriers and facilitators to current approaches. Findings suggest that although public health tools have been developed to aid emergency managers in identifying at-risk populations, they are not being used consistently. Emergency managers requested more information on the availability of tools as well as guidance on how to increase ability to identify at-risk populations.

description: Over the past two decades, end-of-life organizations have served an increasing number of children and young adults and expanded services important to terminally ill youth, and yet we know little about these organizations. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of end-of-life care organizations that admitted children and young adults to hospice care. Using data from the 2007 National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) Survey, we conducted a descriptive analysis of operational, mission, market, and financial characteristics, and explored a sub-analysis by age group. Our analysis revealed that these organizations had similar profit status, ownership, and payer mix when compared to the hospice industry. However, they differed in agency type, referrals, organizational size, geographic location, team member caseload, and revenues. We also found important differences in organizations that provided hospice care by age groups (infants, toddler, school-age children, and adolescents/young adults) in geographic location, region, agency type, accreditation, and team member caseload. These findings have managerial and policy implications.

description: Integral deferred correction (IDC) methods have been shown to be an efficient way to achieve arbitrary high order accuracy and possess good stability properties. In this paper, we construct high order operator splitting schemes using the IDC procedure to solve initial value problems (IVPs). We present analysis to show that the IDC methods can correct for both the splitting and numerical errors, lifting the order of accuracy by $r$ with each correction, where $r$ is the order of accuracy of the method used to solve the correction equation. We further apply this framework to solve partial differential equations (PDEs). Numerical examples in two dimensions of linear and nonlinear initial-boundary value problems are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed IDC approach.

description: Studies of end-of-life care face difficulties associated with enrollment and attrition. Information and exemplars can help end-of-life care researchers anticipate such difficulties and customize recruitment and retention strategies to achieve planned sample sizes. We analyzed data on recruitment and retention efforts used in a clinical trial of an end-of-life communication intervention that involved African American dialysis patients and their chosen surrogate decision makers. Despite the challenges the trial faced (e.g., recruiting a minority group of patients who were seriously ill, had a surrogate decision maker willing to join the study, and were willing to engage in end-of-life discussions), the planned sample size was met, and nearly 90% of the participants completed the study. Various strategies were used to sustain accrual during the study. Although a total of 16 contacts per dyad had been planned from enrollment to 3-months data collection, 27 contacts were actually needed. The strategies and procedures used in this study may be pertinent to other studies that involve African Americans with serious illness and require dyadic participation.
The development of decision support tools for climate and environmental action (a mini handbook)

description: Decision support tools are popular outputs from academic projects aiming for societal and policy impact in the fields of climate and environmental research. A considerable number of these tools have been made, and there are numerous reviews and lists of existing tools, as well as some papers evaluating these tools. However, there is a lack of evidence that these tools reach those they are intended for, work well or are used to make policy decisions; as such there is a danger that they can be perceived as greenwashing. Surprisingly there is little advice on how to make a good decision support tool. The purpose of this review is to reduce the 'unknown unknowns' for people wanting to develop and build this kind of tool. We provide an overview of different types of decision support tools with relevant climate/environmental examples for each. We then cover the key considerations for designing and building better tools, from a developer's perspective. Our hope is that this supports more effective decision support tools to be made, and eases the process for those who are new to this area. All referenced resources are open access, and archived links have been provided where relevant and possible.

description: ${\mathcal PT}-$symmetric dimers with a time-periodic gain/loss function in a balanced configuration where the amount of gain equals that of loss are investigated analytically and numerically. Two prototypical dimers in the linear regime are investigated: a system of coupled classical oscillators, and a Schrödinger dimer representing the coupling of field amplitudes; each system representing a wide class of physical models. Through a thorough analysis of their stability behaviour, we find that turning on the coupling parameter in the classical dimer system, leads initially to decreased stability but then to re-entrant transitions from the exact to the broken ${\mathcal PT}-$phase and vice versa, as it is increased beyond a critical value. On the other hand, the Schrödinger dimer behaves more like a single oscillator with time-periodic gain/loss. In addition, we are able to identify the conditions under which the behaviour of the two dimer systems coincides and/or reduces to that of a single oscillator.

description: The urgent need for renewable energy sources like offshore wind farms to combat global warming is widely acknowledged. To this effect, understanding their impact on ocean biodiversity is crucial, given their potential to disrupt marine ecosystems and harm vulnerable species amidst the biodiversity crisis. While the Mediterranean region has abundant wind resources and proximity to high-energy demand areas, offshore wind energy development is still in its early stages. As part of the push for a low-carbon economy, the Mediterranean holds promise to accelerate its offshore wind potential, utilizing cutting-edge technologies like floating offshore wind farms. AIM: To assess potential impacts of different floating offshore wind farm technologies in the Mediterranean Sea, focusing on effects on vulnerable species.

Healthcare Reform and Concurrent Curative Care for Terminally Ill Children: A Policy Analysis
Creators: name: Lindley, Lisa C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 or health care reform, is a relatively small provision about concurrent curative care that significantly affects terminally ill children. Effective on March 23, 2010, terminally ill children, who are enrolled in a Medicaid or state Children’s Health Insurance Plans (CHIP) hospice benefit, may concurrently receive curative care related to their terminal health condition. The purpose of this article was to conduct a policy analysis of the concurrent curative care legislation by examining the intended goals of the policy to improve access to care and enhance quality of end of life care for terminally ill children. In addition, the policy analysis explored the political feasibility of implementing concurrent curative care at the state-level. Based on this policy analysis, the federal policy of concurrent curative care for children would generally achieve its intended goals. However, important policy omissions focus attention on the need for further federal end of life care legislation for children. These findings have implications nurses.

description: Repeat lengths of the CAG and GGN micro-satellites in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene have been hypothesized to be associated with prostate cancer risk. In vitro studies have showed an inverse association between AR CAG and GGN repeat length and activity levels of the AR product. It is known that men of African descent have a higher incidence of and greater mortality from prostate cancer than men of Caucasian or Asian descent and, on average, a smaller number of repeats at AR CAG and GGN. Consistent with these findings, studies have also found increased AR protein expression levels in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic diseased tissues from men of African descent. Despite these findings, limited studies have been conducted to evaluate the association between repeat lengths at AR CAG and prostate cancer risk in African Americans. Our study is the first such study to examine whether repeat length of the AR GGN repeat is associated with prostate cancer risk in African Americans. We found no evidence for an association between AR CAG or GGN repeat lengths and prostate cancer risk in a population-based sample of African Americans.

description: Le specie aliene sono tutte quelle specie introdotte, intenzionalmente o involontariamente, al di fuori dal loro areale naturale di distribuzione. Oggi si usano diversi sinonimi per indicare le specie aliene, quali specie esotiche, non-indigene, non-native o alloctone. L’introduzione di nuove specie aliene nei mari di tutto il mondo ha visto una rapida crescita negli ultimi decenni, dovuta alla globalizzazione e allo sviluppo crescente delle attività umane come il traffico marittimo, l’acquacoltura, la pesca, e il turismo. Quando le specie aliene sopravvivono, si riproducono e diventano abbondanti nel nuovo areale, possono diventare specie invasive. Queste possono provocare alterazioni alla struttura e alle funzioni dell’ecosistema marino causando alterazioni delle reti trofiche, una omogeneizzazione e perdita di habitat attraverso la riduzione della biodiversità locale e provocando effetti socioeconomici negativi nelle aree costiere. Il Mar Mediterraneo è considerato un hotspot di biodiversità per la sua ricchezza di specie, ma a livello globale, è anche uno dei mari più soggetti alle invasioni biologiche. Ad oggi si possono contare circa 1000 specie aliene nel Mediterraneo (751 specie che si sono già stabilizzate e 242 specie casuali). L’introduzione di queste specie è legata, nella maggior parte dei casi, al loro ingresso passivo o attivo attraverso il canale di Suez, canale che collega il Mar Mediterraneo con il Mar Rosso. Altre vie importanti di introduzione sono il traffico marittimo e l’acquacoltura. Le navi possono trasportare questi animali attraverso le acque di zavorra o attaccati ai loro scafi, che rappresentano per loro un buon substrato per l’insediamento. La maggior parte delle specie aliene che troviamo nel Mar Mediterraneo sono molluschi, pesci, crostacei, e policheti (vermi marini segmentati). Il libro contiene 16 disegni naturalistici di specie di animali alieni marini trovati lungo il canale Candiano (Ravenna), realizzati dall’illustratrice naturalistica Chiara Ossani con la tecnica delle matite colorate acquerellabili. I disegni sono accompagnati dalle informazioni sulla biologia, ecologia e distribuzione delle specie.

description: Understanding genetic variation between populations is important because it affects the portability of human genome wide analytical methods. We compared genetic variation and substructure between Malawians and other African and non-African HapMap populations. Allele frequencies and adjacent linkage disequilibrium (LD) were measured for 617,715 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across subject genomes. Allele frequencies in the Malawian population (N = 226) were highly correlated with allele frequencies in HapMap populations of African Ancestry (AFA, N = 376), namely Yoruban in Ibadan, Nigeria (Spearman’s r2 = 0.97), Luhya in Webuye, Kenya (r2 = 0.97), African Americans in the southwest United States (r2 = 0.94), and Maasai in Kinyawa, Kenya (r2 = 0.91). This correlation was much lower between Malawians and other ancestry populations (r2 < 0.52). LD correlations between Malawians and HapMap populations were strongest for the populations of African ancestry (AFA r2 > 0.82, other ancestries r2 < 0.57). Principal components analyses revealed little population substructure within our Malawi sample but provided clear distinction between Malawians, AFA populations, and two European populations. Five SNPs within the lactase gene (LCT) had substantially different allele frequencies between the Malawi population and Maasai in Kenyawa, Kenya (rs3769013, rs730005, rs3769012, rs2304370; p values < 1×10−33).

description: In a recent work, Blanc, Le Bris, and Lions defined a notion of increment-stationarity for random point sets, which allowed them to prove the existence of a thermodynamic limit for two-body potential energies on such point sets (under the additional assumption of ergodicity), and to introduce a variant of stochastic homogenization for increment-stationary coefficients. Whereas stationary random point sets are increment-stationary, it is not clear a priori under which conditions increment-stationary random point sets are stationary. In the present contribution, we give a characterization of the equivalence of both notions of stationarity based on elementary PDE theory in the probability space. This allows us to give conditions on the decay of a covariance function associated with the random point set, which ensure that increment-stationary random point sets are stationary random point sets up to a random translation with bounded second moment in dimensions $d>2$. In dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$, we show that such sufficient conditions cannot exist.

description: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a component of non-specific immune defense and is a reliable marker of low-grade inflammation involved in obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in middle-aged and elderly populations, predominantly of European descent, demonstrated associations of CRP levels with SNPs at several loci. To examine whether the variants identified are replicated in Filipino young adults, we applied Tobit regression models to study the association of plasma CRP with 12 SNPs at seven loci in a cohort of 1,691 Filipino young adults (aged 21.5 ± 0.3 years) from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS). SNPs in or near CRP (P = 3.2 × 10-11), HNF1A, IL6R, APOE-APOC1 and LEPR showed significant associations (P < 0.05) and together explained 4.8% of the total variation in CRP. Modest interactions were observed between LEPR rs1892534 and waist circumference (uncorrected Pinteraction = 0.020) and between APOE rs769449 and pathogen exposure (uncorrected Pinteraction = 0.0073) in models predicting CRP. Our results demonstrated that variants in several loci are significantly associated with plasma CRP in Filipino young adults, suggesting shared genetic influences on circulating CRP across populations and age groups.

description: Studies of multiple measures of a quantitative trait can have greater precision and thus statistical power compared to single measure studies, but this has rarely been studied in the relation to quantitative trait measurement error models in genetic association studies. Using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a quantitative measure of kidney function, as an example we constructed measurement error models of a quantitative trait with systematic and random error components. We then examined the effects on precision of the parameter estimate between genetic loci and eGFR resulting from varying the correlation and contribution of the error components. We also compared the empirical results from 3 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of kidney function in 9049 European Americans: a single measure, a 3-measure model of the same biomarker of kidney function, and a 6-measure model of different biomarkers of kidney function. Simulations showed that given the same amount of overall errors, inclusion of measures with less correlated systematic errors led to greater gain in precision. The empirical GWAS results confirmed that both the 3- and 6-measure models detected more eGFR-associated genomic loci with stronger statistical association than the single-measure model despite some heterogeneity among the measures. Multiple measures of a quantitative trait can increase the statistical power of a study without additional participant recruitment. However, careful attention must be paid to the correlation of systematic errors and inconsistent associations when different biomarkers or methods are used to measure the quantitative trait.

description: Reaction-diffusion systems can describe a wide class of rhythmic spatiotemporal patterns observed in chemical and biological systems, such as circulating pulses on a ring, oscillating spots, target waves, and rotating spirals. These rhythmic dynamics can be considered limit cycles of reaction-diffusion systems. However, the conventional phase-reduction theory, which provides a simple unified framework for analyzing synchronization properties of limit-cycle oscillators subjected to weak forcing, has mostly been restricted to low-dimensional dynamical systems. Here, we develop a phase-reduction theory for stable limit-cycle solutions of infinite-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems. By generalizing the notion of isochrons to functional space, the phase sensitivity function - a fundamental quantity for phase reduction - is derived. For illustration, several rhythmic dynamics of the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of excitable media are considered. Nontrivial phase response properties and synchronization dynamics are revealed, reflecting their complex spatiotemporal organization. Our theory will provide a general basis for the analysis and control of spatiotemporal rhythms in various reaction-diffusion systems.

description: Comparing genetic and phenotypic similarity among unrelated individuals seems a promising way to quantify the genetic component of traits while avoiding the problematic assumptions plaguing twin- and other kin-based estimates of heritability. One approach uses a Genetic Relatedness Estimation through Maximum Likelihood (GREML) model for individuals who are related at less than .025 to predict their phenotypic similarity by their genetic similarity. Here we test the key underlying assumption of this approach: that genetic relatedness is orthogonal to environmental similarity. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (and two other surveys), we show two unrelated individuals may be more likely to have been reared in a similar environment (urban versus non-urban setting) if they are genetically similar. This effect is not eliminated by controls for population structure. However, when we include this environmental confound in GREML models, heritabilities do not change substantially and thus potential bias in estimates of most biological phenotypes is probably minimal.
