title: Non-shivering thermogenesis and obesity in the adult diabetic Wistar fatty rats

description: Abstract

1. Characteristics of resting and of norepinephrine (NE)-stimulated thermogenesis, and the glycemic response to NE were determined in adult male Wistar Fatty rats. Rats were maintained on Purina chow No. 5001 until 22 weeks of age, and fed semisynthetic diets containing 54% carbohydrate, 20% protein, 16% mixed fats, plus essential vitamins, minerals, and non-nutritive fiber from 22 until 30 weeks of age.
2. Obese rats were 50% heavier than lean throughout the study. Phenotype effects (obese &gt; lean) were present for retroperitoneal (RP) and dorsal (DOR) white fat depot weight, adipocyte number per depot, and adipocyte lipid content. Epididymal mass and cellularity were similar in both phenotypes.
3. Interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) mass, adipocyte size, and adipocyte number were greater in obese than in lean. Resting metabolic rates (RMR) of obese rats were lower than in lean, and increased 79% in lean but only 33% in obese animals following NE (200 μg/kg BW, s.c.) stimulation.
4. The glycemic response to NE occurred normally in both phenotypes, and resulted in a 3-fold increment in plasma glucose in lean rats and a 5–6-fold increase in plasma glucose in obese rats.
5. The results of this study are consistent with hyperplasia and hypertrophy of IBAT, RP and DOR depots, and indicate that the capacity for non-shivering thermogenesis is impaired in the obese phenotype of this strain in spite of peripheral sensitivity to NE and greater mass and cellularity of brown adipose tissue.

title: Replication Data for: Political Career Ambition and Legislative Representation in the United States

description: Voters and researchers alike have worried that American politicians may prioritize career ambitions over constituent preferences, but does ambition for a career in politics affect how legislators in the United States represent their constituents? In this three-paper dissertation, I deploy a variety of original data on constituent preferences and legislator behavior and novel methods for comparing them to explore this question. In the first paper, I examine the rise of full-time, career state legislators produced by the state legislative professionalization movement. I argue that ambition for long-term political careers makes the career legislators ushered in by professionalization more interested in re-election and therefore more responsive to constituent preferences than the part-time, amateur legislators they replaced. But because American electorates tend to be more ideologically polarized when aggregated than they are individually, state legislatures with more career legislators tend to be more ideologically polarized as relatively more ambitious legislators more faithfully calibrate their positions to constituent preferences. In the second paper, I explore a combination of survey and cast-vote record data to show that American electorates achieve ideological consistency across different policies in aggregate in spite of widespread individual inconsistency because the positions of large clusters of ideologically inconsistent voters cancel out across different policies. By contrast, small clusters of more ideologically consistent voters have a larger net effect on policy-by-policy constituency majority positions because their positions on different policies are ideologically oriented in a single direction. Finally, in the third paper, I facilitate future research into the quality of American legislative representation by benchmarking various methods of imputing ballot question election returns, considered a 'gold-standard' measure of public opinion, for electoral jurisdictions where such returns are not published. I compare a variety of regression-based areal interpolation approaches to show that a demographics-based method accurately interpolates American state legislative district ballot question results from county-level results in three states. Taken together, these papers sharpen scholarly understanding of how representatives' political career ambition modulates legislative representation in the United States and provides new tools and frameworks for further investigation into this topic.

title: Radial impurity flux measuring method with plasma heating in general geometry

description: Devising a means to measure the radial impurity flux across the pedestal could be used to reduce impurity accumulation, if not prevent it while providing natural fueling, and thus improving fusion performance in tokamaks. We employ a novel solution procedure that takes advantage of the poloidal flow measurement to obtain the radial impurity flux directly from available diagnostics, such as charge exchange recombination spectroscopy and Thomson scattering. In the absence of our procedure a computationally demanding kinetic calculation of the full bulk ion response would be required at finite aspect ratio for the flux surface shape of interest. The more general form of the model considered here permits large toroidal impurity flow on the order of the impurity thermal speed. Moreover, it allows plasma heating techniques to be employed to actively modify the poloidal variation of the potential to adjust the location of impurity accumulation and thereby alter the radial impurity flux.

title: The acute effect of aerobic exercise on sleep in patients with depression: a randomized controlled trial
title: EASED trial

description: This dataset will enable sharing of data collected within the EASED trial.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
BACKGROUND
&lt;br&gt;
Unipolar depression is one of the most relevant mental disorders. Insomnia is a symptom of cardinal importance in depression. It increases the risk to develop depression, negatively affects disease trajectory, is the most common symptom after remission, increases the risk of relapse, and is associated with higher suicide rates. Existing therapies for insomnia in depression have limitations. Further adjuvant therapies are therefore needed. Acute aerobic exercise has been shown to have beneficial effects on sleep in healthy individuals and patients with insomnia. We therefore hypothesize that a single bout of aerobic exercise has positive effects on sleep in patients with unipolar depression. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on sleep in patients with depression.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
METHODS
&lt;br&gt;
This will be a two-arm parallel group, randomized, outcome assessor blinded, controlled, superiority trial. Patients between 18 and 65 years of age with a primary diagnosis of unipolar depression (without a psychotic episode) will be included. Exclusion criteria are regular use of hypnotic agents, opioids, and certain beta-blockers, presence of factors precluding exercise, history of epilepsy, restless legs syndrome, moderate obstructive sleep apnea and a BMI &gt;40. The intervention is a single bout of aerobic exercise. Exercise will be performed for 30 minutes on a bicycle ergometer at 70% individual anaerobic threshold. The control group will sit and read magazines. The primary outcome is sleep efficiency measured by polysomnography. Secondary outcomes include further polysomnographic variables, subjective pre-sleep arousal, nocturnal cardiovascular autonomic tone, subjective sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and adverse events. According to sample size calculation a total of 92 patients will be randomized using minimization.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
DISCUSSION
&lt;br&gt;
This trial will add new information to the body of knowledge concerning the treatment of insomnia in patients with depression. Thereby, the trial will inform decision makers on the utility of acute aerobic exercise.

title: Replication Data for: Social Media and Policy Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Switzerland

description: We study the role of social media in debates regarding two policy responses to COVID-19 in Switzerland: face-mask rules and contact-tracing apps. We use a dictionary classifier to categorize 612,177 tweets by parties, politicians, and the public as well as 441,458 articles published in 76 newspapers from February until August 2020. We distinguish between "problem" (COVID-19) and ``solutions'' (face masks and contact-tracing apps) and, using a vector autoregression approach, we analyze the relationship between their salience on social and traditional media, as well as among different groups on social media. We find that overall attention to COVID-19 was not driven by endogenous dynamics between the different actors. By contrast, the debate on face masks was led by the attentive public and by politicians, whereas parties and newspapers followed. The results illustrate how social media challenge the capacity of party and media elites to craft a consensus regarding the appropriateness of different measures as responses to a major crisis.

title: Replication Data for: Distrusting the Process: Electoral Trust, Operational Ideology, and Non-Voting Political Participation in the 2020 American Electorate

description: This article explores the relationships between electoral trust, operational ideology, and non-voting political participation (NVP) during the 2020 US presidential election cycle. We hypothesize that: 1) more liberal operational ideology is associated with more NVP, 2) less electoral trust is associated with more NVP, and 3) operational ideology moderates the negative relationship between electoral trust and NVP. Using data from the 2020 American National Election Study (N = 8,280), our contribution is three-fold: We first add to previous research that indicated liberals engage in more NVP than conservatives. We then provide some of the first evidence to suggest that electoral trust—in this case, trust prior to the 2020 election—is negatively associated with NVP. Results further indicate that the negative relationship between electoral trust and NVP is strongest among those with conservative operational ideology, such that the more trust those with conservative operational ideology have in the election, the less they engage in NVP. Given that electoral trust is crucial for a well-functioning democracy, the implication is that elites with a strategic incentive to express contempt for the election process can have direct and downstream consequences on political participation.

title: Replication Data for: Ministries matter: Technocrats and regime loyalty under autocracy

description: How do technocrat ministers affect governance under autocracy? Autocrats frequently appoint non-partisan actors with technical competencies to bureaucratic leadership roles. Though their competencies might predict positive performance in office, these ministers are also dependent on the regime for their position and should thus demonstrate loyalty to its interests. I test this in the context of horizontal accountability to the legislature, using data on more than 27,000 legislative requests submitted to ministries in Morocco. I use both exact matching and difference-in-differences analyses to show that technocrat ministers are more than 25 percentage points less likely to respond to legislative queries than partisan cabinet members. The results imply that outside (partisan) participation in government strengthens weak institutions of executive oversight. They also cast doubt on the presumption that technocrat participation in government is universally beneficial to governance.
