The expression of cultural sensitivity in the presence of African-Americans: An analysis of motives

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study explores the motivational factors underlying European American individuals’ten-dency to display more culturally sensitive behavior in the presence of African Americans. European American male college students (N = 75) individually viewed and evaluated racially insensitive humor, ostensibly in small groups with two confederates. The confeder-ates’racial backgrounds were varied so that they consisted of either (a) two European Ameri-cans, (b) one European American and one African American, or (c) two African Americans. Half of the participants in each condition reacted to the humor privately, whereas the other half responded to the humor publicly. It was revealed that the mere perception of the presence of an African American individual prompted participants to display cultural sensitivity, eval-uating the anti–African American humor negatively. It was interesting that this tendency was equally prevalent when participants rated the humor publicly and when they rated it pri-vately. Implications for understanding the nature of cultural sensitivity and interracial self disclosure are discussed.
Multiplexing and Diversity Gains in Noncoherent Massive MIMO Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We consider a noncoherent uplink and downlink with a large antenna array at the base station. The modulation used is ON-OFF keying, with symbol-by-symbol single-user detection. A ray tracing propagation model is assumed with knowledge at the base station and transmitters of only the ray arrival angles and amplitudes. We identify the sources of performance degradation, quantify notions of diversity gain (related to the detection error performance) and multiplexing gain (related to the number of users simultaneously supported), and present numerical results to demonstrate these gains. Our results indicate that in this noncoherent system, increasing the number of antenna elements can support multiple users, with a vanishing probability of detection error, as long as the number of users is below a certain threshold which increases with the number of antennas. This contrasts with the fact that in a rich scattering propagation environment, uncoded noncoherent systems performing symbol-by-symbol detection cannot support more than one user with a vanishing probability of error.

The crosstalk between the caspase family and the cGAS‒STING signaling pathway

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Edited by Jiarui Wu Cytosolic nucleic acid sensors are critical for sensing nucleic acids and initiating innate immunity during microbial infections and/or cell death. Over the last decade, several key studies have characterized the conserved mechanism of cyclic guanosine monophosphate‒adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS) and the downstream signaling adaptor stimulator of interferon genes (STING) initiating the innate immune signaling pathways. Aside from its primary involvement in microbial infections and inflammatory diseases, there is growing interest in the alternate roles of cGAS‒STING-mediated signaling. Caspase family members are powerful functional proteins that respond to cellular stress, including cell death signals, inflammation, and innate immunity. Recent studies have uncovered how the caspase family cooperates with the cGAS‒STING signaling pathway. Most caspase family members negatively regulate the cGAS‒STING signaling pathway. In turn, some caspase family members can also be modulated by cGAS‒STING. This review gives a detailed account of the interplay between the caspase family and the cGAS‒STING signaling pathway, which will shed light on developing novel therapeutics targeting the caspase family and cGAS‒STING signaling in antiviral innate immunity, cancer, inflammatory, and autoimmunity.
Possible explanation for star-crushing effect in binary neutron star simulations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A possible explanation is suggested for the controversial star-crushing effect seen in numerical simulations of inspiraling neutron star binaries by Wilson, Mathews and Marronetti (WMM). An apparently incorrect definition of momentum density in the momentum constraint equation used by WMM gives rise to a post-1-Newtonian error in the approximation scheme. We show by means of an analytic, post-1-Newtonian calculation that this error causes an increase of the stars' central densities which is of the order of several percent when the stars are separated by a few stellar radii, in agreement with what is seen in the simulations.
Succession of Shrub-layer Vegetation and Situation of Wild Rhododendron in the Abandoned Satoyama Coppice Forest

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This paper analyzed forest structure include wild Rhododendrons in comparison to a managed forest's stand at 25 years ago and an uncared forest's stand during 50 years in the secondary forest floor of Hyogo prefecture in Japan. As a result of the analysis, the number of the plant in a management forest's stand were 42 species, and 20 of 29 species of trees were deciduous broad-leaved trees including Rhododendron reticulatum which does not have a flower. In addition, there were 13 species of herb at forest floor. On the other hand, there were a small number of the plant with 23 species in a uncared forest's stand, and 8 of 20 species of trees were deciduous broad-leaved trees without wild Rhododendrons. And uncared forest also had only 3 species of herb at forest floor. Hence this paper implies that the dominant trees and an evergreen broad-leaved tree of forest floor in the early success ional stage had a conservation effect for biological diversity of deciduous trees and herbs in spite of past 25 years uncared.
Dark Adaptation during Systemic Hypoxia Induced by Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Hypoxia in chronic respiratory insufficiency was associated with normal dark adaptation, in contrast to hypoxia in healthy persons at high altitudes, which is known to produce impaired dark adaptation. The result may partly reflect the influence of Paco(2) on the lumen of choroidal and retinal vessels. At high altitudes, with hypocapnic vasoconstriction the oxygen supply to the retina is further compromised, resulting in reduced dark adaptation. The authors hypothesize that respiratory insufficiency with hypercapnia or normocapnia will have larger choroidal and retinal vessel lumens, added to by further dilation of retinal vessels during hypoxia. The tentative net effect would be preserved dark adaptation.
Chlorphentermine S.A. in the Treatment of Obesity and the Effect of Weight Loss on Steroid Excretion

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A number of trials have been undertaken to test the efficacy of chlorphentermine (l-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl 2-amino propane hydrochloride ; Lucofen) as an anorectic agent, and it has been shown to be superior to placebo (Lucey and Hadden, 1962 ; Levin et al., 1963). Recently a sustained-action chlor phentermine (chlorphentermine S.A.) has become available and has been used by Seaton et al. (1964) in a group of patients with refractory as defined by Duncan et al. (1960). Their results showed a small but significant loss of weight after six weeks by patients on chlorphentermine S.A. compared with those on a dummy preparation, but thereafter the loss of weight was not significant. For many obese patients the difficulties in losing weight by adherence to low-calorie diets are immense, and the availability of a drug which can act as an appetite suppressant would theoretically seem of advantage in such cases. In practice the anorectic agents, most of which are derived from amphetamine, have not only proved disappointing in the management of obesity but have also produced serious side-effects, including habituation and addiction (Kiloh and Brandon, 1962). Modell (1960) has suggested that the anorexigenic action of the amphetamines is closely related to their cortical excitatory action, a fact which probably accounts for their addictive quali ties. Chlorphentermine differs chemically from amphetamine (see Formulae) and appears to be metabolized differently, prob ably owing to the para-chloro substitution ; certainly neither in experimental animals (Holm et al., 1960) nor in therapeutic dosage in clinical practice (Levin et al., 1963) has chlorphentermine been reported to produce cortical stimulation.

Shear in reinforced concrete beams with continuous internal transverse reinforcement

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract: Reinforced concrete elements with a high longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratio may present conflicts on both of them, resulting in reduced labor productivity and a poor job when assembling the transversal reinforcement, reducing its effectiveness. Thus, this research presents a type of internal transverse reinforcement as an alternative to mitigate this conflict between the transverse and longitudinal bars. A total of 5 reinforced concrete wide beams were made, one of them as a reference with closed stirrups, and the other ones with internal stirrups, varying the inclination of the internal transverse reinforcement in 60° and 90°, and the number of vertical legs of the internal transverse reinforcement used. Comparing the results of the beams with internal stirrups with the reference beam, it was observed that the internal stirrups provided increases of up to 14% in shear strength when compared with the closed stirrup.
Dielectric charging by an electron beam

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Experimental discovery of a charge spot field effect (CSFE) has altered considerably our understanding of dielectric charging by an electron beam, under conditions typical for the operation of a large class of cathode ray tubes (CRT). Dielectric charging by an electron beam was studied using a specific pulse method for the measurement of the potential. The accuracy of this method is discussed. Measurements were made of the potential relief of a positively charged spot on muscovite mica (quartz, aluminum oxide). The potential at the spot center, under conditions described in the paper and at a relatively long charging time, was shown to be considerably lower than that of the collector. Potential dependence on charging time, determined under the same conditions, is shown for the charged spot center and a number of adjacent points. During creation of the charged spot charging current was measured. The results of the measurements are discussed. A new mechanism of dielectric charging by electron beam is proposed. A CSFE is formulated, and its significance for the operation of CRT is stated. Criticism is given of in-plane grid effect. The paper presents calculations of fields for grid target models determining the mechanism of dielectric charging by electron beam.
Reconciling present neutrino puzzles: Sterile neutrinos as mirror neutrinos

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We suggest that recent neutrino puzzles that are the solar and atmospheric\nneutrino deficits as well as the possible neutrino oscillations reported by the\nLSND experiment and the possibility of massive neutrinos providing the hot\ncomponent of the cosmological dark matter, can all be naturally explained by\nassuming existence of a mirror world described by an ``electroweak'' gauge\nsymmetry $[SU(2)\\times U(1)]'$, with the breaking scale larger by about factor\nof 30 than the scale of the standard $SU(2)\\times U(1)$ model. An interesting\naspect of this model is that the sterile neutrinos arise from the hidden mirror\nsector of the theory and thus their lightness is more natural than in the usual\nneutrino mass scenarios. The needed pattern of the neutrino mass matrix in this\nmodel is obtained by assuming a conserved ZKM-type global lepton number $\\bar\nL=L_e+L_\\mu-L_\\tau$, which is violated by Planck scale effects. One implication\nof our proposal is that bulk of the dark matter in the universe is a warm dark\nmatter consisting of few KeV mass particles rather than the 100 GeV range\nparticles of the currently popular cold dark matter scenarios.\n
The Impact of the Implementation of Regional Autonomy on the Village Government System: An Overview of Siyasah Syar’iyyah

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article describes the impact of implementing regional autonomy on the village government system in terms of Islamic law policies. The location of the research concentration is in Petimbe Village, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. Empirical legal methods and qualitative approaches are used to holistically understand the phenomena experienced by the subjects, including behavior, motivation, and action. The implementation of regional autonomy in the village government system positively impacts the community. This fact shows conformity with the principles of Islamic legal policy (al-siyasah al-syar’iyyah), prioritizing deliberation, justice, and the common good. However, without a good control function, the autonomy granted to village administrations can open up opportunities for corrupt practices and abuse of authority by village officials.

Vulnerability assessment approach for real‐time and regional monitoring of backup protections: minimising number of GPS‐based distance relays

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Presenting an accurate and cost‐effective solution to tackle static load encroachment issues in backup protection of transmission networks stand as a challenging task. Therefore, this study aims at devising a new backup protection scheme via GPS‐based distance relays (GBDRs) against this issue. In this scheme, each GBDR calculates the vulnerability index locally, which helps to find out the vulnerable situation. When these indices exceeded their threshold, the protection centre is allowed for real‐time monitoring in the corresponding area. In this regard, after calculating superimposed components, they are sent to the protection centre for discriminating faults from stressed conditions. Deployment of GPS‐based relay in each bus brings higher costs and entails sharing large amounts of data. Therefore, a new techno‐economic approach helps for the optimal deployment of these relays. To this end, zone‐3 in some buses are eliminated, and the rest are equipped with GBDRs while each line at least is protected by two existing zones‐3. By doing so, the network is divided into different areas that are protected with the minimum number of these relays. Whereby, coupled with the vulnerability indices, minimising the number of GBDRs alleviates the exchanged data.

Prescribed burning for control of yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis) and enhanced native plant diversity

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Two separate open grassland areas within Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, Sonoma County, CA, were burned for three consecutive years (1993–1995 [Site A] and 1995–1997 [Site B]) for control of yellow starthistle. Burns were conducted in late June to early July following seed dispersal and senescence of desirable grasses and forbs but prior to viable seed production in yellow starthistle. After the first year burn, there was no significant reduction in yellow starthistle cover the following spring and summer. Despite the lack of control, the first year burn reduced the yellow starthistle soil seedbank by 74% and the number of seedlings the following spring by 83%. However, total plant diversity and species richness increased dramatically in the burned areas. This was due primarily to an increase in the number of native broadleaf species. A second burn the next summer (1995–1997 site) reduced seedbank, seedling density, and summer vegetative cover the following year by 94, 92, and 85%, respectively, while maintaining significantly higher native plant cover and richness. A third consecutive summer burn decreased yellow starthistle seedbank and seedling density by 96, 98, and 85%, respectively, in the 1995–1997 burn site. Three consecutive years of burning in the 1993–1995 site reduced yellow starthistle seedbank and seedling density by over 99% and summer vegetative cover by 91%. These results indicate that prescribed burning can be an effective tool for the management of yellow starthistle and can have a long-term benefit on native broadleaf diversity and richness.
Knowledge-Based Characterization of Similarity Relationships in the Human Protein−Tyrosine Phosphatase Family for Rational Inhibitor Design

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Tyrosine phosphorylation, controlled by the coordinated action of protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), is a fundamental regulatory mechanism of numerous physiological processes. PTPs are implicated in a number of human diseases, and their potential as prospective drug targets is increasingly being recognized. Despite their biological importance, until now no comprehensive overview has been reported describing how all members of the human PTP family are related. Here we review the entire human PTP family and present a systematic knowledge-based characterization of global and local similarity relationships, which are relevant for the development of small molecule inhibitors. We use parallel homology modeling to expand the current PTP structure space and analyze the human PTPs based on local three-dimensional catalytic sites and domain sequences. Furthermore, we demonstrate the importance of binding site similarities in understanding cross-reactivity and inhibitor selectivity in the design of small molecule inhibitors.

8 Impact of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Hyperoxia-Induced White Matter Damage in Neonatal Rats

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

White matter damage (WMD) and chronic lung disease (CLD) are the two main complications occurring in very preterm infants. Clinical and experimental evidence suggest that the use of high oxygen in preterm infants lead to both WMD and CLD. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been proposed to promote alveolarization in the developing lung, and we have reported that iNO promotes myelination and induces neuroprotection in neonatal rats with excitotoxic brain damage. We made the hypothesis that iNO may be neuroprotective in rat pups exposed to hyperoxia. Pregnant rats were randomly assigned to hyperoxia (80&percnt; O<inf>2</inf>) or normoxia for 8 days (E21 to postnatal day (P) 7). Both groups received iNO (5 ppm) or air from E21 to P7. Animals were evaluated at P3, P10 and P21 using immunohistochemistry, cognitive functions and mass spectrometry imaging. iNO significantly attenuated the severity of hyperoxia-induced WMD induced in neonatal rats. Specifically, iNO decreased white matter inflammation, cell death, and enhanced the density of developing oligodendrocytes and oligodendroglial maturation. Furthermore, iNO triggered an early upregulation of P27kip1 and brain-derived growth factor (BDNF). Whereas hyperoxia disrupted early associative abilities, iNO treatment maintained learning scores to a level similar to that of control pups. In contrast to its marked neuroprotective effects, iNO induced only small and transient improvements of CLD. These findings suggest that iNO exposure at low doses is specifically neuroprotective in an animal model combining simultaneously injuries of the developing lung and brain that mimicked CLD and WMD in preterm infants.
