The effectiveness of art therapy for anxiety in adults (2018)

Background
Anxiety disorders are one of the most diagnosed mental health disorders. Common treatment consists of cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy. In clinical practice, also art therapy is additionally provided to patients with anxiety (disorders), among others because treatment as usual is not sufficiently effective for a large group of patients. There is no clarity on the effectiveness of art therapy (AT) on the reduction of anxiety symptoms in adults and there is no overview of the intervention characteristics and working mechanisms.
Methods
A systematic review of (non-)randomised controlled trials on AT for anxiety in adults to evaluate the effects on anxiety symptom severity and to explore intervention characteristics, benefitting populations and working mechanisms. Thirteen databases and two journals
were searched for the period 1997 –October 2017. The study was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42017080733) and performed according to the Cochrane recommendations. PRISMA Guidelines were used for reporting.
Results
Only three publications out of 776 hits from the search fulfilled the inclusion criteria: three RCTs with 162 patients in total. All studies have a high risk of bias. Study populations were: students with PTSD symptoms, students with exam anxiety and prisoners with prelease anxiety. Visual art techniques varied: trauma-related mandala design, collage making, free painting, clay work, still life drawing and house-tree-person drawing. There is some evidence of effectiveness of AT for pre-exam anxiety in undergraduate students. AT is possibly effective in reducing pre-release anxiety in prisoners. The AT characteristics varied and narrative synthesis led to hypothesized working mechanisms of AT: induce relaxation; gain access to unconscious traumatic memories, thereby creating possibilities to investigate cognitions; and improve emotion regulation.
Conclusions
Effectiveness of AT on anxiety has hardly been studied, so no strong conclusions can be drawn. This emphasizes the need for high quality trials studying the effectiveness of AT on anxiety.
Trilacunary Heteropolytungstates Functionalized by Organometallic Ruthenium(II), [(RuC6H6)2XW9O34]6- (X = Si, Ge) (2005)

The benzene-Ru(II)-supported trilacunary heteropolytungstates [(RuC6H6)2XW9O34]6- (X = Si, 1; Ge, 2) have been synthesized and characterized by multinuclear solution NMR (183W, 13C, 1H, 29Si), UV-vis and IR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on Rb2Na4[(RuC6H6)2SiW9O34].21H2O (RbNa-1), which crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P, with a = 11.9415(2) A, b = 13.3123(2) A, c = 19.4927(4) A, alpha = 96.6460(10) degrees , beta = 95.1570(10) degrees , gamma = 98.2560(10) degrees , and Z = 2 and on Cs2Na4[(RuC6H6)2GeW9O34].19.5H2O (CsNa-2), which crystallizes also in the triclinic system, space group P, with a = 11.930(4) A, b = 13.353(4) A, c = 19.586(6) A, alpha = 95.982(5) degrees , beta = 95.414(6) degrees , gamma = 98.142(5) degrees , and Z = 2. The novel polyanion structure consists of two (RuC6H6) units linked to a trilacunary (XW9O34) Keggin fragment via Ru-O(W) and Ru-O(X) bonds resulting in an assembly with Cs symmetry. Polyanions 1 and 2 were synthesized by reaction of [RuC6H6Cl2]2 with [A-alpha-XW9O34]10- in aqueous buffer medium (pH 6.0). Both 1 and 2 are stable in solution as indicated by the expected 5-line pattern (2:1:2:2:2) in the 183W NMR and the expected (3C, 1H, and 29Si spectra. Descriptions of the respective electrochemical behaviors of the W centers and the Ru centers in 1 and 2 are given in media where these processes are clearly defined. In a pH = 3 acetate medium, the cyclic voltammetry of the W centers shows the known fingerprint of the trilacunary alpha-[XW9O34]n- (X = Ge, Si) moieties. The presence of the (RuC6H6) substituents imparts a good stability to these fragments in solution. Stepwise oxidation of the Ru centers was suspected in pH = 5 acetate medium, but only the first step was well-separated from a large current composite wave. The stepwise oxidation was finally observed clearly in a DMF-water (90/10 v/v) mixture and shows two well-behaved Ru oxidation processes. A short comparison is made with DMSO-bearing Ru polyoxometalates.
Preparation of High Purity, High Molecular-Weight Chitin from Ionic Liquids for Use as an Adsorbate for the Extraction of Uranium from Seawater (2013)

Ensuring a domestic supply of uranium is a key issue facing the wider implementation of nuclear power. Uranium is mostly mined in Kazakhstan, Australia, and Canada, and there are few high-grade uranium reserves left worldwide. Therefore, one of the most appealing potential sources of uranium is the vast quantity dissolved in the oceans (estimated to be 4.4 billion tons worldwide). There have been research efforts centered on finding a means to extract uranium from seawater for decades, but so far none have resulted in an economically viable product, due in part to the fact that the materials that have been successfully demonstrated to date are too costly (in terms of money and energy) to produce on the necessary scale. Ionic Liquids (salts which melt below 100{degrees}C) can completely dissolve raw crustacean shells, leading to recovery of a high purity, high molecular weight chitin powder and to fibers and films which can be spun directly from the extract solution suggesting that continuous processing might be feasible. The work proposed here will utilize the unprecedented control this makes possible over the chitin fiber a) to prepare electrospun nanofibers of very high surface area and in specific architectures, b) to modify the fiber surfaces chemically with selective extractant capacity, and c) to demonstrate their utility in the direct extraction and recovery of uranium from seawater. This approach will 1) provide direct extraction of chitin from shellfish waste thus saving energy over the current industrial process for obtaining chitin; 2) allow continuous processing of nanofibers for very high surface area fibers in an economical operation; 3) provide a unique high molecular weight chitin not available from the current industrial process, leading to stronger, more durable fibers; and 4) allow easy chemical modification of the large surface areas of the fibers for appending uranyl selective functionality providing selectivity and ease of stripping. The resulting sorbent should prove economically feasible, as well as providing an overall net energy gain.
Cognitive Function and Age at Repair of Transposition of the Great Arteries in Children (1984)

To assess the effect of the duration of chronic hypoxemia on cognitive function, we studied 38 children with d-transposition of the great arteries and an intact ventricular septum who underwent corrective surgery at six months to six years of age (median, 1.6 years). Tests included the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) in 33 children and the visual-association and auditory-association subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities in 38 and 37 children, respectively. When controlled for social index, age at repair was inversely associated with the WPPSI intelligence-quotient score (P less than 0.01), the visual-association subtest score (P less than 0.01), and the auditory-association subtest score (P less than 0.1). In contrast, age at repair correlated poorly with cognitive function in children with ventricular septal defect, an acyanotic congenital heart defect. These data suggest that postponing repair of a cyanotic congenital heart disease, such as transposition of the great arteries, is associated with progressive impairment of cognitive function.
A 60GHz-band 1V 11.5dBm power amplifier with 11% PAE in 65nm CMOS (2009)

Sub-1 V supplies limit the output voltage swing and saturated output power of an amplifier integrated in deep-submicron CMOS technology. Aside from absolute output power, power-added efficiency (PAE), stability and gain are also important power-amplifier (PA) design considerations. High reverse isolation between output and input is necessary to mitigate the effects of antenna mismatch, limit unwanted interference between circuit blocks on-chip and to promote stability. Efficiency of the PA is also paramount for portable consumer electronic applications operating from a battery, such as short-range Gb/s communication SoCs operating in the unlicensed bands around 60 GHz. Aside from the 60 GHz band, long-range collision-avoidance radar for automobiles (77/79 GHz), and radio imaging (94 GHz) are also potential applications for CMOS at mm-wave frequencies.
A new explanation for the double resonance of a pure vapor bubble (1993)

The second resonance frequency f0(2) of a pure bubble appeared first in R. D. Finch and E. A. Nippiras’ theoretical analysis [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 1402–1410 (1973)]. However, no one has been able to observe a vapor bubble oscillating at f0(2). A new analysis based on numerical calculations shows that f0(2) is physically unstable. By analogizing bubble oscillations with those of a mass-spring system, it is found that the resonance frequency F(fd) depends on the driving frequency fd and the real bubble resonance f0(2) is a solution of F(fd)=fd. The behavior of F(fd) near fd=f0(2) shows that the bubble tends to shift its oscillation frequency away from f0(2) (repulsive); whereas F(fd) near the ordinary resonance f0(1) is attractive. A theory developed by the authors for directly calculating the resonance frequency and the damping constant without using the mass-spring analogy gives only f0(1). Therefore, we are forced to the conclusion that f0(2) results from an improper mass-spring analogy and is not physically observable. [Work supported by ONR.]
Heusler alloys for spintronic devices: review on recent development and future perspectives (2020)

Heusler alloys are theoretically predicted to become half-metals at room temperature (RT). The advantages of using these alloys are good lattice matching with major substrates, high Curie temperature above RT and intermetallic controllability for spin density of states at the Fermi energy level. The alloys are categorised into half- and full-Heusler alloys depending upon the crystalline structures, each being discussed both experimentally and theoretically. Fundamental properties of ferromagnetic Heusler alloys are described. Both structural and magnetic characterisations on an atomic scale are typically carried out in order to prove the half-metallicity at RT. Atomic ordering in the films is directly observed by X-ray diffraction and is also indirectly probed via the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity. Element specific magnetic moments and spin polarisation of the Heusler alloy films are directly measured using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and Andreev reflection, respectively. By employing these ferromagnetic alloy films in a spintronic device, efficient spin injection into a non-magnetic material and large magnetoresistance are also discussed. Fundamental properties of antiferromagnetic Heusler alloys are then described. Both structural and magnetic characterisations on an atomic scale are shown. Atomic ordering in the Heusler alloy films is indirectly measured by the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity. Antiferromagnetic configurations are directly imaged by X-ray magnetic linear dichroism and polarised neutron reflection. The applications of the antiferromagnetic Heusler alloy films are also explained. The other non-magnetic Heusler alloys are listed. A brief summary is provided at the end of this review.
Performance and Characterization of a [PtMo6]/MgO Catalyst: The Catalytic Activity for NO–CO Reactions and Structural Analysis by EXAFS (1997)

Abstract The catalytic property of a [PtMo6]/MgO catalyst prepared by using a [PtMo6O24]8− precursor for NO–CO reactions and a structural analysis by means of Pt L3- and Mo K-edge EXAFS spectroscopy was studied. The catalytic activity of the bimetallic ensemble catalyst appeared due to the incorporation of Pt ions into the MgO surface, where Pt4+ ions substituted Mg2+ ions in the first layer of the MgO surface. It seems that the NO–CO reaction proceeded on the Pt sites embedded in the MgO surface by a redox mechanism, whereas metallic Pt particles on MgO were inactive under the present reaction conditions, characterized by an in-situ EXAFS analysis.

Phenolic Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts Prepared from Fermented Heat‐Stabilized Defatted Rice Bran (2014)

Heat-stabilized, defatted rice bran (HDRB) serves as a potential source of phenolic compounds which have numerous purported health benefits. An estimated 70% of phenolics present in rice bran are esterified to the arabinoxylan residues of the cell walls. Release of such compounds could provide a value-added application for HDRB. The objective of this study was to extract and quantify phenolics from HDRB using fermentation technology. Out of 8 organisms selected for rice bran fermentation, Bacillus subtilis subspecies subtilis had the maximum phenolic release of 26.8 mg ferulic acid equivalents (FAE) per gram HDRB. Response surface methodology was used to further optimize the release of rice bran phenolics. An optimum of 28.6 mg FAE/g rice bran was predicted at 168 h, 0.01% inoculation level, and 100 mg HDRB/mL. Fermentation of HDRB for 96 h with B. subtilis subspecies subtilis resulted in a significant increase in phenolic yield, phenolic concentration, and radical scavenging capacity. Fermented rice bran had 4.86 mg gentistic acid, 1.38 mg caffeic acid, 6.03 mg syringic acid, 19.02 mg (-)-epicatechin, 4.08 mg p-courmaric acid, 4.64 mg ferulic acid, 10.04 mg sinapic acid, and 17.59 mg benzoic acid per 100 g fermented extract compared to 0.65 mg p-courmaric acid and 0.36 mg ferulic acid per 100 g nonfermented extract. The high phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fermented HDRB extract indicates that rice bran fermentation under optimized condition is a potential means of meeting the demand for an effective and affordable antioxidant.
Degradation Mechanism of Electrode Tip during Resistance Spot Welding of Zinc-coated Galvannealed Steel Sheets (2009)

This study investigated the electrode life and the electrode degradation characteristics during resistance spot welding of zinc-coated galvannealed steel sheets. As a result, it was found that the electrode life in alternate resistance spot welding of galvannealed steel sheets and bare steel sheets was extremely short in comparison with welding of only galvannealed steel sheets. During alternate resistance spot welding, the ring-shape nuggets were formed easily. The reasons for this is explained by the sticking of the alloy layers formed on the electrode top during previous welding of the galvannealed steel, to the bare steel sheet surface at the following welding of bare steel, so that notable wear took place and the surface profile of electrode tip became flat. Additionally an accumulation of highly resistant carbonaceous substance layer at the center of the electrode top caused an annular flow of the welding current to hinder the nugget formation.

Identification of a Novel Keto Sugar Component in Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 12F Capsular Polysaccharide and Impact on Vaccine Immunogenicity (2023)

Implementation of conjugate vaccine technology revolutionized the ability to effectively elicit long-lasting immune responses to bacterial capsular polysaccharides. Although expansion of conjugate vaccine serotype coverage is designed to target residual disease burden to pneumococcal serotypes not contained in earlier vaccine versions, details of polysaccharide Ag structure, heterogeneity, and epitope structure components contributing to vaccine-mediated immunity are not always clear. Analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 12F polysaccharide by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry revealed a partial substitution of N-acetyl-galactosamine by the keto sugar 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-xylo-hexos-4-ulose (Sug) in up to 25% of the repeat units. This substitution was not described in previous published structures for 12F. Screening a series of contemporary 12F strains isolated from humans (n = 17) identified Sug incorporation at varying levels in all strains examined. Thus, partial Sug substitution in S. pneumoniae serotype 12F may have always been present but is now detectable by state-of-the-art analytical techniques. During the steps of conjugation, the serotype 12F Sug epitope is modified by reduction, and both polysaccharide PPSV23 and conjugate PCV20 vaccines contain 12F Ags with little to no Sug epitope. Both PCV20 and PPSV23 vaccines were evaluated for protection against circulating 12F strains with varying amounts of Sug in their repeat unit based on an opsonophagocytic killing assay involving HL-60 cells and rabbit complement. Both vaccines elicited human-derived neutralizing Abs against serotype 12F, independent of Sug level between ∼2 and 25 mol%. These findings suggest that the newly identified serotype 12F Sug epitope is likely not an essential epitope for vaccine-elicited protection.
Bonding and contacting of MEMS-structures on wafer level (2003)

Effective and cost favorable procedures for hermetical encapsulation of MEMS-structures on wafer level can be fabricated by wafer bonding technologies like the seal glass bonding and by suitable connection technologies routing the electrical potential through the chip structure. Within the paper the parameters of the print and bonding process will be presented and the print process limits will be demonstrated by means of print and bonding results. Screen printing and bonding process development Screen-printing is a method for the selective layer deposition of a specific material on flat surfaces. During the print process the material will be pressed through a textured screen (see Figure 1). For encapsulation of micro mechanical components by seal glass bonding it is necessary to create small structures of seal glass like bond frames at one of two substrates. To achieve this aim two different material types of screen fabric layers were evaluated. The two materials were polyester and stainless steel. The experiments showed that screens made of stainless steel are more suitable for printing smaller (&amp;lt; 200 µm) structures than polyester screens. A second important value to deposit enough glass material on the substrate is the mesh opening of the screen-printing fabric. After evaluating different sizes, a mesh opening of 50 µm proved to be

Interplay of Vesicle and Lamellae Formation in an Amphiphilic Polyfluorene-b-polythiophene All-Conjugated Diblock Copolymer at the Air−Water Interface (2008)

Interfacial behavior and surface morphology of an amphiphilic, all-conjugated rod−rod diblock copolymer, poly[9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene]-b-poly[3-(6-diethylphosphonatohexyl)thiophene] or PF2/6-b-P3PHT, were investigated by a combination of Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) techniques, optical spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). For the PF2/6-b-P3PHT diblock copolymer aggregates, well-defined gas, liquid-expanded, liquid-condensed, and solid states were observed at the air−water interface. The backbones of the polar P3PHT blocks exhibited an edge-on arrangement which is driven by the pendant alkyl chains with the polar phosphate groups; i.e., the polymer main chain orients parallel to the air/water interface with the planes of the thiophene rings in vertical orientation (edge-on). For comparison of the optical properties, three different LB films (transferred at surface pressures of 5, 15, and 50 mN/m), spin- or drop-cast films, and solutions were investigated. Spectral shifts and intensity changes of UV−vis absorption and photoluminescence emission of the films were correlated to changes of the surface morphology. The emission properties after excitation into the higher-bandgap PF2/6 absorption band were governed by both Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and conformational changes within the P3PHT block. The AFM images illustrate the formation of vesicular species and their transition into a monolayer lamellar phase upon increased surface pressure and a correlation of the optical properties and aggregation state at the air/water interface.

Dynamic type checking in jalapeño (2001)

A Java virtual machine (JVM) must sometimes check whether a value of one type can be can be treated as a value of another type. The overhead for such dynamic type checking can be a signi cant factor in the running time of some Java programs. This paper presents a variety of techniques for performing these checks, each tailored to a particular restricted case that commonly arises in Java programs. By exploiting compile-time information to select the most applicable technique to implement each dynamic type check, the run-time overhead of dynamic type checking can be significantly reduced. This paper suggests maintaining three data structures operationally close to every Java object. The most important of these is a display of identifiers for the superclasses of the object&amp;apos;s class. With this array, most dynamic type checks can be performed in four instructions. It also suggests that an equality test of the run-time type of an array and the declared type of the variable that contains it can be an important short-circuit check for object array stores. Together these techniques result in significant performance improvements on some benchmarks.
