description: Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898
Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898: 10, pl. VI figs. 6a–l; Von Lendenfeld 1910: 55; Sim 1982: 1, pl. 1 figs. 1–6; Hoshino 1987: 2 (listed only); Ise 2017: 368 (listed only).
The species was described by Thiele from Yogashima, Japan, approximate coordinates 34.75N 137.06°E, depth not given (type material not found, not in ZMB, not in MZS or in the Basel Museum). Thiele described a variety clavigera also from Japan (cf. below), without locality data. Subsequent authors described an additional four varieties (var. intermedia, micraster, and typica Von Lendenfeld, 1910: 55; var. aapta Lebwohl, 1914: 57). The varieties are all five similar to the typical variety of Thiele (1898) and all originate from Japan, but differ in the dimensions of the triaenes, oxeas and asters (notably the size of the choanosomal oxyasters), and the presence of a minority of spicular form variations (notably tylostyle-like megascleres), which are not uncommon in other Geodia species (cf. Von Lendenfeld’s (1910: 69–71) spicule tables of the varieties, Lebwohl’s var. aapta excepted). Still, the basic pattern of skeleton and spiculation is essentially the same and the existence of five distinct taxa sympatric with the typical variety is judged to be unlikely. I propose to merge all varieties into a single species Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898.

Understanding what makes 3D visualizations difficult
Creators: name: Chiang, James
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Three dimensional visualizations are used in numerous fields to help people gain a better understanding of the subject.  Because these visualizations are growing both in prevalence and in complexity, it is becoming increasingly important that people understand them.  Prior studies demonstrate that this is not the case with a significant portion of the population. This suggests that we either make the visualizations easier or provide adequate training through our education venues to help people understand 3D visualizations. Unfortunately, making visualizations easier is not always an option because the visualization is necessarily hard because of the problem being tackled, e.g., viewing an MRI scan of a human being.  Currently, little is done in our education systems for improving 3D visualization comprehension. This may be because we are not really sure how to teach such skills. To be able to train people in comprehending 3D visualizations, we need to understand how people comprehend and process these visualizations which is a non-trivial task.     Overall, the goal of this thesis is to determine what properties of 3D visualizations make their comprehension difficult.  In order to do so, a visualization test was designed to assess the ability of subjects to understand the internal structure of 3D block diagrams.  This test was administered to subjects who were videotaped solving the visualization problems.  An analysis of the verbal protocols of these subjects identified strategies that subjects used to process the 3D visualizations and problem areas where they provided inaccurate solutions.  The analysis uncovered those visualization properties that created difficulties for subjects and also suggested training methods for presenting these properties in a way that would help improve the ability of individuals to comprehend visualizations.

(Fig. 6A)
Geodia variospiculosa var. aapta Lebwohl, 1914: 57, pl. II figs. 63–77; Ise 2017: 368 (listed only).
The variety was described by Lebwohl from Cape Sunosaki, Sagami Bay, Japan, approximate coordinates 34.9833°N 139.75°E, depth 130 m (whereabouts of type material not currently known). The name of this variety is spelled variously aapta (caption of the description and of Lebwohl’s figs. 63–77) or adapta (explanation and discussion on p. 63 and caption underneath figs. 63–77). Both are Greek and Latin words with different meaning and the explanation given by Lebwohl is ambiguous, so we have to choose. The first name in the text is ‘ aapta ’ and accordingly (acting as First Revisor, cf. ICZN 24.2.3) I take this to be the correct name (see also Ise 2017). As proposed above, the variety is to be merged with the species Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898.

A study of the fine-scale three-dimensional flow structures in turbulence using  time-resolved stereoscopic scanning particle image velocimetry
Creators: name: Cheng, Ye
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: A time-resolved stereoscopic scanning particle image velocimetry (TR-SSPIV) system was developed to investigate the fine-scale 3D structures in free shear turbulent jets. The system provided a simultaneous measurement of the three-component velocity field in a three-dimensional volume (3D3C) with Kolmogorov-scale (eta) resolution, providing a true representation of the complete nine-component velocity gradient tensor. Quantitative visualization of the coherent structures at fine-scale turbulence is obtained and four basic structural shapes (sheets, tube, square ribbons and spherical blobs) are identified as building blocks of complex turbulent structures. The measurement volume had dimensions of  43eta x 20eta x 18eta, which allowed isolating individual structures.  These rendered shapes had dimensions that range from 1.5-5eta  to 20-30eta. The local acceleration du/dt is obtained and represented as 3D structures. These showed a strong anti-alignment with the convective acceleration term, which helps validate experimentally the Random Taylor Hypothesis. A novel vortex identification scheme is also introduced based on the local pressure.  The method is compared to other published ones including enstrophy, Q, Lambda2 and Delta criteria. Four different flow configurations are tested and extensive statistical analyses are performed to study the probability density function (PDF), joint PDF, and spectra of the velocity gradients. The analysis also considered the vorticity, rate of strain, enstrophy, and dynamic parameters such as enstrophy production rate and energy dissipation rate. Accuracy assessments included result comparison to isotropy theory and evaluation of the local conservation of mass. The flow statistics and scaling of turbulence at fine scales are compared extensively to published theoretical, numerical, and experimental results.

description: New ternary inorganic-organic hybrid materials (H2pda)0.5Cu2SbSe3 and  [H2bda]0.5Cu2SbSe3 (pda= propanediamine, bda= butanediamine) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Both structures are composed of [Cu2SbSe3]- 2D layer structures that are connected by the organic amines. A series of hybrid compounds Cu2SbSe3(L)x (L= en, pda, bda; x=0.5, 1) were synthesized  for an integrated study. Compared with the 3D structure compound CuSbSe2, the thermal conductivity study shows that incorporation of incorporation of inorganic-organic interface can effectively reduce the thermal conductivity.

Ion channel profiles in murine spiral ganglion neurons
Creators: name: Chen, Wei Chun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Spiral ganglion neurons possess a rich repertoire of ion channels that underlies differential firing properties.  Previous studies have shown that voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv1.1, Kv3.1, Kv4.2, and BK) are arranged in a tonotopic manner along the length of cochlea.  The present study will expand the analysis to three additional classes of ion channels: two-pore-domain K+ channels (K2Ps), voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), and Ca2+-activated K+ channels; in order to determine their contribution to the tonotopic organization in these primary afferent neurons.       Transcript profiling was first used to survey candidate subunits.  A subset of K2P subunit transcripts (TASK-1, TASK-3, THIK-2, TRAAK, TREK-1, and TWIK-1) were identified in the spiral ganglion; of which TWIK-1 was the most abundantly expressed and was confirmed to localize to neurons.  Of the ten VGCC subunits, eight transcripts (Cav1.2, Cav1.3, Cav2.1, Cav2.2, Cav2.3, Cav3.1, Cav3.2, and Cav3.3) were expressed.  Immunocytochemistry showed that three subunits (Cav1.3, Cav2.2, and Cav3.3) were specifically localized to neurons and tonotopically distributed, which provided insights to the electrophysiological results that demonstrated the involvement of both HVA and LVA VGCCs in differential regulation of action potential duration and latency, respectively.  Lastly, of the Ca2+-activated K+ channel subunits, BKalpha, BKbeta1, BKbeta2, BKbeta4, SK1, SK2, and SK3 transcripts were identified.  Examination of the two BKalpha splice sites showed only a single prominent ZERO variant, which suggested that BK beta-subunit regulation may possibly be the main mechanisms of BK channel contribution to the firing properties.  Antibody labeling of BKbeta4 subunit showed uniform distribution.  Future work will further investigate the remaining beta-subunits. Taken together, K2Ps, VGCCs, and Ca2+-activated K+ channels could all potentially, although not necessary directly, influence neuronal excitability and action potential waveforms, thus demonstrating the complexity in underlying diversity of spiral ganglion neuron firing patterns.

description: This is an anthropological dissertation that explores the lived and imagined experiences of those living with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD). Following diagnosis, people with YOPD are often left with a sense that what was once ‘known’ is no longer. In this thesis, I investigate how living with a neurodegenerative chronic illness, that has an uncertain prognosis, is experienced and imagined and how this creates a sense of being different from others and a previous self. This sense of being different or othered is shaped by the ways society views chronic illness and the experience of living with it over time. To assist in exploring the themes of uncertainty and alterity, the future, both imagined and certain, is placed at the centre of this research on those living with YOPD.

Geodia megastrella var. laevispina Carter, 1876: 401, pl. XVI fig. 47.
Geodia megastrella var. levispina (sic); Sollas 1888: 248.
The variety was described by Carter as a small fragment from Porcupine 1870 cruise Stat. 24, a few miles N of Cape Vincent, 37.3157°N 9.2167°W, depth 534 m. A type slide, here selected as lectotype, is registered as BMNH 1954.3.9.535. The variety is stated to be different from the typical variety (also from Cape St. Vincent, but from Porcupine 1870 cruise Stat. 25, 37.1833°N 9.1167°W, depth 684 m, holotype BMNH 1882.7.28.128) by having smooth oxyasters instead of spined oxyasters, and truncate ectosomal ‘chiasters’. Also, dichotriaenes were apparently absent in the var. laevispina. This variety was ignored by most authors reporting on Geodia megastrella, probably because Sollas (1888: 248) declared the fragment to be too small to assess the full spicule complement. In view of this and the fact that the varieties were collected at close proximity and depth off Cape St. Vincent, Portugal, I propose to merge for the time being the varieties into a single species, Geodia megastrella Carter, 1876.

The variety was described by Thiele from Japan, no further locality data, no information on type specimens. The difference with the typical variety is found in the presence of?reduced protriaenes in the form of tylostylote or stylote modifications and also in the shorter size of the oxeas. Such modifications are not uncommon in Geodia species and have usually little taxonomic significance. As proposed above the variety is to be merged with the species Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898.

Colonial New England psalmody and the poetics of discord in translation
Creators: name: Cattrell, Kevin Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: My dissertation explores the poetics of colonial New England psalmody from 1640 to 1730. This poetics, I argue, sought to consolidate textual, musical, spiritual, and social accord, blending the faithful translation of scripture, the agreement of voices, the mutual engagement of hearts, and the cohesion of churches. In many ways, however, colonial New England psalm singing was defined as much by its engagement of discord as by its pursuit of harmony. Through readings that span a broad range of genres—metrical psalm translations, war narratives, sermons, music primers, mission tracts, and meditational poetry—my dissertation attempts to trace out the forms of this engagement. In the first chapter, I investigate the development of a unique discourse of congregational psalmody in Massachusetts Bay in the 1640s. Centered on a translation of the Book of Psalms compiled and first published in the Bay colony, this discourse emphasized social and musical unison while acknowledging the psalter‘s thematization of alienation and miscommunication. Chapter 2 explores the ways in which colonial representations of Praying Indians tested the Reformed doctrine of the psalms‘ universal translatability. Missionary writers in this period, I argue, conveyed to transatlantic audiences a sense of spiritually complex Indian Christian personhood by demonstrating the affective continuities between the experiences of native proselytes and the psalmists‘ godly but quintessentially human songs. Meanwhile, opponents to the mission used the psalms to expose what they suspected was the fundamental shallowness of Praying Indians‘ professed commitment to the Christian faith. The third chapter centers on a long and public 1720s altercation between ministers in favor of ―Regular Singing‖—a more methodical approach to psalmody—and a surprisingly obstinate faction of laypersons who opposed these measures. According to the progressive, scientifically informed perspective of the proponents of Regular Singing, the purpose of the ordinance was—and always had been—to reflect reason and order back to its divine source. The colonists‘ failure to do so, the proponents of Regular Singing feared, implied that a chosen people were effectively willing their own degeneration into American savagery. The fourth and final chapter explores the Westfield, Massachusetts minister Edward Taylor‘s lifelong commitment to psalmody as a poet, translator, and pastor. I argue that Taylor‘s verse not only makes use of a broad, polyglot lexicon of vocal and instrumental devotional music, but that it explores the rich aesthetic potential in discord. I trace the early development of this exploration to Taylor‘s two discarded attempts to translate the psalms.

description: This proposal addresses the issue of providing clean, renewable, carbon-neutral fuels for automotive use, a key matter of importance to the environment and economics of California. We combine two highly efficient methods for converting forestry waste into high energy liquids, one involving fermentation and another involving a clean chemical process. Specifically, we plan to study the conversion of wood wastes into sugars (which can be fermented) and other biofuel precursors, and then to evaluate the fuels and the metrics (efficiency, captical cost) of the overall process.

Likelihood-based instrumental variable analysis in the presence of an unobserved latent confounder
Creators: name: Cao, Anjun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Instrumental variable analysis (IVA) is used to control unobserved confounders and estimate average causal effects in observational studies. Classical IVA involves a two-stage procedure with two ordinary linear models. The first stage relates the treatment or intervention to the instrument, and the second relates the outcome to the expected treatment predicted by the first stage. The average causal effect can be estimated using the difference in outcomes between the strata of the instrumental variable. D.B. Rubin in a series of papers (summarized in Angrist, Imbens, and Rubin, 1996) re-framed IVA in terms of a causal model which can be applied to binary outcome variables when the instrumental variable and treatment status are also binary. However, the average causal effect is typically expressed as a difference. When causal effects expressed as rate ratios or odds ratios are desired in nonlinear models, it is problematic to obtain the unbiased estimators for these parameters. We propose a two-stage likelihood-based IVA model. In both stages, the estimates of parameters of interest are obtained using maximum likelihood functions. In the first stage, patient compliance with the instrumental variable is estimated. Treatment effect is then imputed in the second stage with the adjustment of compliance. Essentially, the likelihood function is formulated using the joint distribution of outcome and instrumental variables by integrating out the treatment and unknown confounder, assuming the distribution of the confounder is known, and the associations between the confounder and treatment, and confounder and outcome are also known or can be estimated. This likelihood function is maximized to obtain an estimator of the coefficient of the treatment variable. The variance of this maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of treatment effect can be estimated using average Fisher’s information matrix.   We illustrate this two-stage likelihood-based IVA model using data from a study of primary androgen deprivation therapy (PADT) in men with localized prostate cancer (Lu-Yao, Albertsen, Moore, et al. 2008). We also examine the optimal minimum sample size needed for each health service area in order to reduce the misclassifications, and obtain unbiased estimates of the average causal effect.

description: The following dissertation traces the convergence of science, culture, and politics in Portugal’s most important tropical colonies—Goa, India and Bahia, Brazil. It shows how contradictions between an idealized colonial order and the exigencies of settlementpatterned debates over the practice of medicine and, in the process, redefined scientific authority, credibility, and the study of nature. This story began in the Atlantic, where the unexpected virulence of certain fevers along the West African coast challenged European ideas about the causes of disease. To survive, the Portuguese turned to indigenous medical specialists, often women. With colonization in Asia and the Americas, this practice intensified and grew more controversial. Hindu and Muslim physicians in Goa aswell as Amerindian and, later, African-descended healers in Bahia mediated Portuguese access to local flora and its curative uses. The two zones of colonization differed, however, in fundamental ways. The comparative dimension of this project helps clarify these differences so as to explain the emergence of particular kinds of medical interaction within each colonial setting. At the same, I argue that colonial medicine—as it took shape throughout Portugal’s empire—was always built upon a fundamental opposition that was inherent in the project of colonization itself: Portuguese communities became dependent on forms knowledge-making that they simultaneously sought to displace. At issue wasthe authority (and therefore power) that women and non-Christian peoples wielded in the production and verification of truth claims about the natural world. Hence in the colonies, the intertwined disciplines of medicine and natural history confronted tensions andambiguities that distinguished them from their metropolitan counterparts. And this in turn fostered distinct ways of assembling intellectual communities, asserting claims to truth, representing both in print, and defending that work in the face of suspicion andaccusation from colonial governors and Inquisition officials alike.

The variety was described by Von Lendenfeld from Suno Saki, Honshu Island, Sagami Bay, Japan, Albatross Stat. 3758, approximate coordinates 34.9833°N 139.75°E, depth 95–134 m (holotype USNM 8385). Von Lendenfeld made extensive comparisons of the spicules of four of the varieties, but all appeared subject to infraspecific variation. As proposed above the variety is to be merged with the species Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898.

Diagnosis
Dorsal disc covered with granules or naked thickened skin, scales reduced in Ophiomyxa. Dental plate fragmented, sockets with flat borders, not penetrating. Ophiarachna with small ventral tooth cluster. Hyaline, large, flat, serrated teeth in Ophiomyxa and Ophioconis. Lateral arm plates reminiscent of an upside-down Y-shape. Arm spine articulation without sigmoidal fold. Arm spine articulations generally larger than in Ophiodermatidae and Ophiopezidae fam. nov. and in shallower notches or on same level as plate stereom (Ophiomyxa), of rounded shape with smooth stereom.
Remarks
Ophiomyxa has a specialized morphology with many reductions of the skeleton and is thus not typical for this family but the name has priority. Ophiocanopidae Mortensen, 1932 was synonymized with Ophiomyxidae by Stöhr et al. (2008) but Ophiocanops is now a member of Ophiacanthidae.

description: This dissertation reinterprets psychoanalysis within the context of and for use by critical theory. The central argument is that psychoanalysis has emancipatory potential that critical theory has yet to tap, and that a reimagined psychoanalysis thus has much to offer critical theory. The dissertation begins with a rereading of Freud’s critical method that highlights Freud’s heretofore-obscured militant optimism and compassion. The question of how critical theory can utilize this new understanding of Freud’s work is then considered in analyses of Horkheimer’s work on compassion and Habermas’s theorization of psychoanalysis as a model of communicative action. With this groundwork established, the dissertation turns to consider three directly political categories. Firstly, psychoanalytic Eros is critically juxtaposed with Herbert Marcuse’s account of the same. The author argues that psychoanalytic Eros, which is balanced more heavily towards the quotidian than the utopian, is more useful to critical theory because it speaks to concrete social agency and solidarity. Secondly, the critical category of guilt is considered. The author contests that critical theory has long understood the importance of working through guilt as a social problem, but lacks the nuanced understanding and methods for the resolution of guilt contained in psychoanalysis. Finally, sublimation and identification are considered in relation to the reality principle. The author notes that critical theory consistently rejects these theories, which are seen as processes that adapt the subject to domination, and reimagines them as central to the development of autonomy and social agency. As a whole, the dissertation reclaims psychoanalysis as an ally to critical theory’s efforts to restore subjectivity and oppose systemic domination in modernity.

description: Geodia variospiculosa var. typica Von Lendenfeld, 1910
Geodia variospiculosa var. typica Von Lendenfeld, 1910: 69 (no illustration).
The variety was erected by Von Lendenfeld for the original specimen described by Thiele from Yogashima, Japan, approximate coordinates 34.75°N 137.06°E (collected by D̂derlein). When Thiele created the var. clavigera, he implicitly erected a nominotypical variety for the Yogashima material, and this has to be named the same as the species, i.e. Geodia variospiculosa var. variospiculosa (ICZN art. 47.1). Von Lendenfeld’s var. typica is a junior synonym of that variety. As proposed above, both are to be merged with the species Geodia variospiculosa Thiele, 1898.

Contaminant effects on vitellogenesis and oogenesis in zebrafish (danio rerio) and killifish (fundulus heteroclitus) from the chemically impacted Newark Bay, NJ

description: Vitellogenins are large glycolipoprotein precursors to yolk–proteins that act as vital biomolecules and growth substrate in developing oocytes of teleosts and are synthesized exclusively in the liver. The studies in this Dissertation tested the general hypothesis that aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist contaminants in Newark Bay, NJ down–regulate hepatic vitellogenin synthesis, resulting in inhibition of oogenesis and reproductive dysfunction. This hypothesis was examined using a variety of studies with a field population of killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) from the contaminated Newark Bay and relatively clean Tuckerton, NJ, and using lab studies with zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model teleost. In killifish native to Newark Bay, inhibition of oocyte yolk–development resulted in decreased egg production, decreased embryo mass and reduced yolk–volume. The cause of these effects was shown to be the down–regulation of vitellogenesis in the liver. Decreased vitellogenin expression during spawning was demonstrated to be due to deficient levels of circulating 17β–estradiol, and a decreased sensitivity of the vitellogenin pathway to induction (protein and mRNA levels) by physiological doses of 17β–estradiol. In the Newark Bay population, vitellogenin expression was inversely correlated with CYP1A, a biomarker for aryl hydrocarbon receptor 2 (AhR2) activity. I therefore propose that the down–regulation of the vitellogenin pathway is phenotypic of aryl hydrocarbon receptor mediated cross–talk inhibition of the estrogen receptor (ER). The role of AhR2 in mediating AhR–ER cross–talk inhibition of vitellogenin was examined using the zebrafish as a model teleost. The potent AhR agonists 2,3,7,8–tetrachlorodibenzo–p–dioxin and 1,2,3,7,8–pentachlorodibenzo–p–dioxin were found to inhibit the induction of vitellogenins 1, 2 and 3 by 17α–ethynylestradiol in zebrafish. Transient knock–down of AhR2 levels showed that the AhR2 mediates inhibition of vitellogenesis by 2,3,7,8–tetrachlorodibenzo–p–dioxin, demonstrating that AhR2 activation plays a role in AhR–ER cross–talk. Taken together, these studies demonstrated that the contaminant induced down–regulation of vitellogenesis in the liver can cause reproductive dysfunction in the ovary and that the mechanism for these effects is mediated through AhR2–ER signaling pathways.

description: Passive circuits such as Wilkinson power dividers, filters, etc are widely used in wire and wireless communications front-ends of a system. Typically, each passive circuit function is implemented in one bulky surface mount component or on a printed circuit board where the performance can be compromised. For multiple input and output systems or hand-held instruments, there is a great need to reduce the size and weight of passive components. In this project, we propose to develop ultra-miniaturized passive components. To achieve this goal, we develop and advance metamaterials or left-handed material technology and implement the circuits in 3-dimensional volumes. We will then combine the newly developed passive components in an integrated module to reduce complex interfaces between them. Using the proposed approaches, we aim to reduce the size and weight of a passive module by a factor of 6 to 8 compared to conventional methods. This project is to develop fundamental research and innovative approaches that lay a foundation for building ultra-small size and wide bandwidth passive components.

This ‘genus’ was erected under the rules of the Phylocode, which does not recognize ranks or type species. The ‘definition’ of Geostelletta is quoted from the original paper: ‘(nomen cladi novum) branch-based: the most inclusive clade containing Geodia tuberosa (Topsent, 1892) and not Geodia phlegraei Sollas, 1880 and Geodia angulata Von Lendenfeld, 1910 ’. The ‘genus’ name is here considered unavailable, even though encompassing at least two named species, Geodia robusta Von Lendenfeld, 1907 and Ecionemia sp. These species are to be reverted to genus Geodia. Phylocode and Linnean classifications show fundamental differences. The WPD and WoRMS have committed themselves to the latter.

Perceived illness burden, a key to understanding advance care planning in adults nearing the end of life
Creators: name: Bodnar-Deren, Susan

description: Despite nationwide legislation encouraging advance care planning (ACP), rates of completion are low. A substantial body of work has examined ACP and the use of advance directives; studies have identified the benefits of ACP, the efficacy of ACP, the low rates of and barriers to ACP, the types of treatments patients are willing to accept, and characteristics of those who engage in planning. However, ACP is still underutilized and not fully understood. Questions remain about how to increase rates of ACP and what factors influence those who have (or have not) engaged in the ACP process. To answer these questions, recent analyses of ACP have called for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine ACP as a health behavior, using a biopsychosocial approach based on patient perspectives that motivate such behavior. The Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation (CSM) is a widely used health behavior model asserting that an individual’s health preferences and behaviors are not only affected by their actual condition, but also by their perceptions about their health condition. The likelihood that an individual prepares for end of life through ACP may reflect their illness representations or beliefs about the duration, severity, consequence and controllability of their health condition.  Health representations may trigger a health behavior which, in this case, is ACP.  Therefore, the CSM may be useful in helping to explain why individuals engage in ACP.  Using data from the New Jersey End-of-Life (NJEOL) study (N=293) (2006-2008), an ethnically diverse sample of non-institutionalized older adults (≥ age 55), I explore the extent to which patient perspectives or illness representations motivated them to plan for the end of life.  I focus on the consequences of illnesses and compromised health at the end of life, specifically perceived illness burden. I examine if, how, and for whom perceived burden motivates patients to engage in the process of advance care planning. The findings have significant implications for health care practice and policy. These findings suggest that functional impairments and perceptions of burden are important factors in ACP; eliciting patient perceptions about the consequences of their illness may facilitate increased levels of ACP.
