"We've Seen this Coming": Resident Activists Shaping Neighborhood Redevelopment in Washington, D.C.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The North Capitol area of Washington, D.C, is entering a time of reassembly. Federal planners and private developers have answered the question, "Space for what?" with futuristic descriptions of a tree‐lined gateway into the monumental core, a vision fast becoming reality. Residents are offering competing answers to the question, "Space for whom?" Activists in Northwest One would prefer that their area remain as housing for current residents, but they recognize the fruitlessness of using urban renewal‐style protesting to halt current development efforts. Their efforts toward homeownership and job readiness have allowed some area residents to gain ownership of public housing, and others to purchase homes in surrounding neighborhoods. As the North Capitol area becomes more important in federal urban plans, as a new convention center and other private development continue, and as urban renewal controls expire, its space will be increasingly squeezed for growth. Two local community projects, Sursum Corda and the Perry School, demonstrate activists' intent to stay in the area and to use social services to prepare residents for economic opportunities in a changing climate. Activists see change coming and are preparing their neighbors and their buildings to harness development for their good.
On the Information Lifetime and the Localization Cost in Sensor Networks with Random Topologies

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Sensor networks (and to some extent ad hoc networks) are networks of nodes with resource constraints, such as a limited battery life, a limited bandwidth or a limited processing capacity. These constraints create a well documented trade-off: each node needs to participate in the network to perform its role or duty, while this participation will deplete the node's resources. Here we consider a particular aspect of this trade-off: the storage of information in the network. Due to the resource constraints, each single node carries an incentive to limit the amount of data it contains. This leads to the expiration of the data carried by the node after a period of time. On the other hand, some data is critical to the functioning of the whole network, and should be found in the network at all times. In C. Westphal (2005), we introduced the trade-off between the finite lifetime of a piece of information at each node, and the survival of this information indefinitely within the network. We then studied this trade-off in a lattice topology and a tree topology. Here, we extend the results of C Westphal (2005) in two directions: we consider random topologies for the underlying network, and we take into account the cost of exchanging information in the network. We show that the maximum number of hops in a request for information broadcast is a critical parameter to ensure the survivability of any information within the network indefinitely. We identify the parameter which minimizes the load on the network for a network graph satisfying the Poisson boolean model. We also show how to minimize the cost of the dissemination on the network, so as to keep this cost decreasing asymptotically to 0

Redshift uncertainty : political and non-political roots of utopia in science fiction works of Stanislaw Lem

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The article focuses on the origins of Eutopian and Dystopian aspects of selected works of Stanislaw Lem, which were divided into pre- and post-Thaw ones (due to the differences in their relation with the tradition of that genre). Eutopian characteristics can be found in the first science fiction stories of Lem (both quasi-social realistic ones, set in the Communist Bloc countries, and their darker counterparts, set on the other side of the Iron Curtain). Technology seems to be more important there than politics. Similarily, science and technology form the basis of Eutopian visions of communist paradise in The Astronauts and The Magellanic Cloud (as well as Dystopian images of the enemies of communism in both novels, Venusians and long-dead "Atlanteans", i.e. NATO members). Their very creation seems to be an effect of Lem’s own desire to write about space travels, which - in Stalinist era - wasn’t possible any other way. After the Thaw, both Dystopian and Utopian elements in Lem’s fiction gradually lose their political characteristics, corresponing with the grow of Lem’s interest in more universal matters. His later utopias still seem to origin primarely from the field of science and technology, and not of politics or philosophy. Their tone reflects the author’s loss of faith in the possibility of creating the paradise (on Earth, or interplenatary one) through either political or technological means. This can be observed as well in what could be called "broken utopias", like the world of short stories about Pirx the Pilot.
Posner-Schlossman syndrome in an adult Nigerian male

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A case of Posner-Schlossman syndrome in an adult Nigerian male is reported. The patient presented at the eye clinic of Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital in March 1999 with blurring of vision, seeing halos around light, and redness of the right eye. The intraocular pressure in both eyes was high and there were fine keratic precipitates on the endothelium of the right eye, and glaucomatous optic nerve changes in both eyes. A diagnosis of Posner-Schlossman sydrome was made after repeated episodes of the above symptoms in either the right or the left eye. In the three years the patient was seen for follow up, he had multiple anti-glaucoma drug treatment and three surgeries a trabeculectomy, a cataract extraction with a posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implant and a pars plana vitrectomy (following complications from IOL surgery). In spite of aggressive management, visual acuity in both eyes dropped and cupping of the optic discs continued to increase insidiously.

Quantifying Solute Partitioning in Phosphatidylcholine\nMembranes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Time-resolved fluorescence measurements\nwere used to characterize\nand quantify solute partitioning into 1,2-dipalmitoyl-<i>sn</i>-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) lipid vesicles as a function of\nsolute concentration and temperature. The solutes, coumarin 152 (C152)\nand coumarin 461 (C461), both belong to a family of 7-aminocoumarin\ndyes that have distinctive fluorescence lifetimes in different solvation\nenvironments. The two solutes differ in the 4-position where C152\nhas a trifluoromethyl group in place of C461’s -CH<sub>3</sub> group. In vesicle containing solutions, multiexponential fluorescence\ndecays imply separate solute populations in the aqueous buffer, solvated\nin the vesicle headgroup region and solvated in the acyl chain bilayer\ninterior, respectively. Fluorescence amplitudes, corrected for differences\nin radiative rates, are used to calculate absolute partition coefficients\nand\naverage number of solutes per vesicle as a function of coumarin:lipid\nratio and average number of solutes per vesicle. Results show that\nC152 has an ∼10-fold greater affinity than C461 for lipid bilayers,\ndespite both solutes having similar hydrophobicities as inferred from\ntheir log­(<i>P</i>) values. Temperature-dependent partitioning\ndata are used to calculate enthalpies and entropies of C152 partitioning\nas a function of concentration. These values are used to extrapolate\nto the infinitely dilute limit. Above and below the lipid gel–liquid\ncrystalline temperature, partitioning is exothermic with negative\nchanges in entropy. In the vicinity of the transition temperature,\nthese quantities change sign with Δ<i>H</i><sub>part</sub> becoming endothermic (+70 kJ/mol) and entropically favored (Δ<i>S</i><sub>part</sub> = +240 J/(mol·K)).

Analysis of the Precast Half Slab Method in Batang I Industrial Workers Flats Development Project

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study aims to analyze the application of Precast Half Slab formwork with conventional formwork in terms of cost, time, and implementation stages. The method used in this study is the precast half slab method. The Batang I Industrial Worker Flats project is in the Batang Integrated Industrial Estate. In the highly advanced construction era, many projects compete to innovate to produce a fast and efficient building. This Project uses the precast half slab method, where half of the floor slab is printed offsite (precast) with a thickness of 7 cm, and the other half is in place (topping 5.5 cm). This final Project analyzes the precast half slab method used by comparing it to the conventional method in terms of cost and time, so it can be seen which method is more profitable. The precast half-slab method analysis focuses on calculating the direct cost of conventional half-slab precast in terms of materials, tools, and worker wages, as well as calculating the time needed for each job.
The Involvement of Cell-to-Cell Signals in the Development of a Bacterial Biofilm

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Bacteria in nature often exist as sessile communities called biofilms. These communities develop structures that are morphologically and physiologically differentiated from free-living bacteria. A cell-to-cell signal is involved in the development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. A specific signaling mutant, a lasI mutant, forms flat, undifferentiated biofilms that unlike wild-type biofilms are sensitive to the biocide sodium dodecyl sulfate. Mutant biofilms appeared normal when grown in the presence of a synthetic signal molecule. The involvement of an intercellular signal molecule in the development of P. aeruginosa biofilms suggests possible targets to control biofilm growth on catheters, in cystic fibrosis, and in other environments where P. aeruginosa biofilms are a persistent problem.
Hierarchical Deformation Heterogeneity during Lüders Band Propagation in an Fe-5Mn-0.1C Medium Mn Steel Clarified through <i>in situ</i> Scanning Electron Microscopy

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In-situ deformation experiments with cold-rolled and intercritically annealed Fe-5Mn-0.1C steel were carried out at ambient temperature to characterize the deformation heterogeneity during Lüders band propagation. Deformation band formation, which is a precursor phenomenon of Lüders band propagation, occurred even in the macroscopically elastic deformation stage. The deformation bands in the Lüders front grew from both the side edges to the center of the specimen. After macroscopic yielding, the thin deformation bands grew via band branching, thickening, multiple band initiation, and their coalescence, the behavior of which was heterogeneous. Thick deformation bands formed irregularly in front of the region where the thin deformation bands were densified. The thin deformation bands were not further densified when the spacing of the bands was below ~10 µm. Instead, the regions between the deformation bands showed a homogeneous plasticity evolution. The growth of the thin deformation bands was discontinuous, which may be due to the presence of ferrite groups in the propagation path of the deformation bands. Based on these observations, a model for discontinuous Lüders band propagation has been proposed.

Poe as a Patron Saint of Murder

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Although he wrote about many other things, Poe has long been somewhat pigeonholed as the author of tales featuring dramatic deaths and as the father of the modern detective story. That combination appears to have made him an irresistible connection for journalists seeking to add interest to an ongoing series of articles about murder. Such articles not only caught the eye of general readers but may have been intended to serve as a warning to those who were guilty of having committed the crimes—you may find it impossible to keep your secret.
Sensitivity of Hep G2 Cells to <i>Bacillus cereus</i> Emetic Toxin

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

We herein examined the sensitivity of Hep G2 human hepatoma cells to Bacillus cereus emetic toxin. Hep G2 cells were treated with the emetic toxin, and the cell shape was observed. The same experiments were performed for comparison purposes, using HEp-2 cells, which are currently used by most laboratories for a bioassay of the emetic toxin. Hep G2 cells showed clearer vacuolation in the cytosol within 2 hr and required a shorter incubation period than HEp-2 cells (10 hr). The number of vacuoles in the Hep G2 cells was greater, and the size of the vacuoles was larger than those observed in HEp-2 cells. The minimal concentration of the emetic toxin required to induce the vacuolation of Hep G2 cells was 0.04 ng/ml. The concentration for the HEp-2 cells was 1 ng/ml. These findings indicate that Hep G2 cells show higher sensitivity to the emetic toxin. Hep G2 cells may be superior to the currently used HEp-2 cells for the bioassay of the emetic toxin.
Improving English Speaking Skills of Fourth Grade Elementary School Students Through Contextual Problem-Based Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Media

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study was motivated by the low English speaking skills of students and the less than optimal use of learning media in learning activities. The purpose of this study was to create learning media that can improve the speaking skills of fourth grade elementary school students in English. This study used the ADDIE model. The subjects were material experts, learning media experts, practitioners, and students in fourth grade of elementary school. The purpose was to measure their level of English speaking skills. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Observation guidelines, interview guidelines, assessment scale sheets, and questionnaire sheets were the tools used to collect data. A total of 34 students from fourth grade of elementary school were involved in the product trial. To determine the effectiveness of the product, a t-test with correlated samples was used to analyze data from the pre- and post-test results. The results showed that the mobile-assisted language teaching tool (MALL) based on contextual problems was valid. Thus, the results of expert and practitioner evaluations determine the validity and effectiveness of the developed contextual problems.

Timing diagrams and correlations in gamma-ray bursts signal jets\nfrom accretion into black holes

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

\n The temporal properties of a sample of 498 bright\ngamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with durations between 0.05 s and 674 s\nwere analysed. The large range in duration (T90) is\naccompanied by a similarly large range in the median values of\nthe pulse timing properties including rise time, fall time, FWHM\nand separation between the pulses. Four timing diagrams relating\nthese pulse properties to T90 are presented and show the\npower law relationships between the median values of the 4 pulse\ntiming properties and T90, but also that the power laws\ndepend in a consistent manner on the number of pulses per GRB.\nThe timing diagrams are caused by the correlated properties of\nthe pulses in the burst and can be explained by a combination of\nfactors including the Doppler boost factor Γ, a viewing\neffect caused by a jet and different progenitors. GRBs with\nsimilar values of T90 have a wide range in the number of\npulses. GRBs with the large number of short and spectrally hard\npulses may occur either from a homogeneous jet with a higher\naverage value of Γ or close to the axis of an\ninhomogeneous jet with higher values of Γ near the\nrotation axis. The less luminous GRBs with fewer pulses may\noriginate further from the axis of the inhomogeneous jet. The\npulses in GRBs have six distinctive statistical properties\nincluding correlations between time intervals, correlations\nbetween pulse amplitudes, an anticorrelation between pulse\namplitudes and time intervals, and a link to intermittency in GRS\n1915+105. The timing diagrams and correlated pulses suggest that\nGRBs are powered by accretion processes signalling jets from the\nformation of black holes.\n\n\n

A voxel selection method for the multivariate analysis of imaging genetics data

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We suggest a multivariate genotype-phenotype association test for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. The method uses a voxel selection and ranking scheme based on iterative adaptive Lasso for defining a functional region of interest. A classifier-based test is used to assess the significance of potential associations between the differential activity pattern within that region and a set of candidate genetic variants. We applied the method to a small sample dataset from an ongoing imaging genetics study and identified a significant genetic association to a stimulus-locked imaging phenotype.
