Altered sexual reward processing in patients with lifelong premature ejaculation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Given that sexual behavior is usually pleasurable and highly rewarding, it is surprising that there is as yet no known research to empirically assess how premature ejaculation (PE) patients respond to the rewarding aspect of sexual behavior. This study was designed to address this issue by evaluating how these men respond to the anticipation and hedonic experience of sexual rewards in comparison to non-sexual rewards. Thirty lifelong PE patients and thirty healthy controls (HCs) performed the incentive delay task manipulating both erotic and monetary rewards. Compared to HCs, lifelong PE patients exhibited significantly faster RTs to erotic cues than to monetary cues during reward anticipation. Meanwhile, hedonic experience ratings after obtaining the actual reward showed that erotic rewards were rated as more pleasant than monetary rewards only by lifelong PE patients. These findings indicate the existence of dysfunctional reward processing in lifelong PE patients, which is characterized by increased incentive motivation elicited by sexual cues and enhanced hedonic impact of sexual rewards. This study may offer an insightful clue regarding how PE is related to the abnormal regulation of the rewarding aspect of sexual behavior.
FUNCTIONAL GAIT ADAPTATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH PAINFUL HIP

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose of the study: This prospective study was conducted to analyze the mechanisms of gait compensation in patients with painful hip and to search for correlations with preoperative clinical and radiographic findings. Material and methods: Optoelectronic and multicomponent force-plate datas were used to calculate joint motion, moments and intersegmental forces for 26 patients with unilateral hip pain and 20 normal age and sex-matched patients. Height was similar in the two groups but mean weight in the study group (83 kg) was greater than in the controls (68 kg). The preoperative Harris score was 53 in the study group and 16 patients had a permanent flexion contracture of the knee (mean 15°, range 5–30°). Radiographically, there were 22 cases of osteoarthritis hip disease and 4 cases of necrosis. Results: Gait analysis showed a significant 0.66 ± 0.06 m (12 p. 100) reduction in step length. Patients who had severe hip pain walked with a decreased dynamic range of motion (18 ± 5°, p Discussion: Reversal of dynamic hip range of motion was interpreted as a mechanism to increase effective hip extension during stance phase through increased anterior pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis. Conclusion: Patients with painful hip walked with a manner that was asymmetric. These gait modifications were related to hip limitation in passive motion and pain. Patients with flexion contracture adopted a compensatory gait mechanism. This study confirms relation between hip pain and forces across the hip joint.
Intraspecific variation among isolates of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae from Bull Island, Ireland

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The application of large numbers of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) to control insect pests of agriculture is likely to have an impact on the local EPN fauna, yet little is known about the intraspecific relationships between EPN populations, particularly with regard to phylogeny and outbreeding. Here we assess the fitness, with regards to fecundity, host insect mortality and time taken to produce progeny, of isolates of Steinernema feltiae from Bull Island, Ireland. Exon-primed, intron-crossing (EPIC) PCR was used to examine intraspecific phylogenies between S. feltiae isolates, and identified up to three possible colonisation events of Bull Island. EPIC-PCR grouped two isolates, 33.D.(2) and 59.F.(2), separately from the remaining ten S. feltiae isolates These same two isolates consistently performed poorly in all fitness assessments. Following the crossbreeding of all isolates in Galleria mellonella, the number of host cadavers exhibiting emerging infective juveniles was significantly fewer than expected and there were significant differences between isolates in the number of days until progeny were observed. Host insect mortality varied between 40 and 87%. Such intraspecific variation may be a result of adaptation to different microhabitats of Bull Island, which in turn may be accentuated by laboratory culture practices.
Morphological characteristics of the lyotropic and gel phases in the cellulose/NH3/NH4SCN system

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Solutions of cellulose in the ammonia/ammonium thiocyanate (24.5/75.5 w/w) solvent form several stable phases. Of particular interest in this work are the temperature-dependent liquid crystalline and gel phases which are stable at cellulose concentrations above 6% w/v. While the temperature-composition conditions yielding these phases are reasonably well established, very little is currently known about the morphological characteristics of lyotropic and gelled cellulose. Polarized light microscopy is employed here to demonstrate that solutions at temperatures above the gel melting point are birefringent, composed of liquid crystals. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy has been used to (i) examine the three-dimensional network in cellulose gels, and (ii) correlate network morphology with cellulose molecular weight and solution concentration. Results obtained from two complementary sample preparation techniques (i.e., critical point drying and freeze drying) are compared to identify and minimize artifacts, and reveal that gel formation occurs as the solutions phase-separate into polymer-rich anisotropic and solvent-rich isotropic phases. The polymer-rich phase is highly interconnected and forms a fibrillar network, with fibrils measuring 20–70 nm in diameter. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Sustainable and color-indicated tannic acid@high amylose starch/polyvinyl alcohol (TA@HAS/PVA) fibers for adsorbing uranium from aqueous solutions

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Adsorbents for uranium adsorption from aqueous solutions should possess several key properties, such as sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the impact forces during agitation and anti-biofouling activity to prevent the adhesion of microorganisms to the active sites. Herein, a simple design strategy for the facile construction of tannic acid@high amylose starch/polyvinyl alcohol (TA@HAS/PVA) fibers for efficient uranium adsorption is reported. The sustainable TA@HAS/PVA fibers were synthesized by crosslinking TA on HAS and PVA followed by solution spinning into anhydrous ethanol. The fibers exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength (11.31 MPa) and tensile strain (159.56%), in addition to anti-biofouling activity, good adsorption capacity (86 mg g − 1 ), and excellent reusability. Furthermore, the adsorption process could be visually indicated by the color of the fibers. The results indicated that TA@HAS/PVA fibers were a promising candidate for industrial uranium adsorption.
Pandemic Influenza, Worker Absenteeism and Impacts on Critical Infrastructures

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

A pandemic influenza outbreak could cause serious disruption to operations of several critical infrastructures as a result of worker absenteeism. This chapter focuses on freight transportation services, particularly rail and port operations, as an illustration of analyzing performance of critical infrastructures under reduced labor availability. It develops models to assess the likely impacts of varying levels of worker absenteeism on the capacity of these critical systems. Using current data on performance of specific rail and port facilities, we reach some conclusions about the likelihood of severe operational disruption under varying assumptions about the absentee rate. Other infrastructures that are more dependent on information technology and less labor-intensive than transportation might respond to largescale worker absenteeism in different ways, but the general character of this analysis can be adapted for application in other infrastructures.
Positioning Ontario’s Character Development Initiative In/Through Its Policy Web of Relationships

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Constructing a policy web of relationships is proposed as a useful way to identify and understand complex relationships between policies and their contexts. In Canada, the province of Ontario's Character Development Initiative (CDI) and its relationships to student achievement, citizenship education, and safe schools policies provide an illustrative example of the web’s utility. Mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Character Development Initiative was expected to be implemented by all publicly funded school boards during the 2007-2008 school year. This application of the policy web shows how what happens in one policy affects what happens in another and highlights relationships between policies that might be overlooked if one’s focus is limited to a single policy’s texts, practices, or influences alone. This example also shows how creating a policy web of relationships highlights issues, texts, practices, and ideas important across different policy fields and how a particular policy is positioned in relation to other policies. This knowledge may be used to support, resist, or influence policy at different levels. Mapping the relationships between policies using a web of relationships also provides historical understanding of the policies and knowledge about why policies (re)emerge at particular moments. La création d'un réseau de relations portant sur les politiques est évoquée comme façon utile d'identifier et de comprendre les rapports complexes entre les politiques et leurs contextes. Au Canada, l'initiative ontarienne nommée Initiative de développement du caractère, et ses liens avec le rendement des élèves, l'éducation à la citoyenneté et les politiques sur la sécurité à l'école, offre un exemple de l'utilité d'un tel réseau. On s'attendait à ce que l'initiative de développement du caractère, mandatée par le Ministère de l'éducation de l'Ontario, soit mise en œuvre par toutes les écoles publiques pendant l'année scolaire 2007-2008. Cette application de réseau de politiques démontre dans quelle mesure un changement dans une politique affecte l'évolution d'une autre, et fait ressortir des liens entre les politiques dont on ne tiendrait pas compte si on limitait notre attention aux textes, pratiques ou influences d'une seule politique. De plus, cet exemple illustre la façon dont un réseau de politiques fait ressortir d'une part, l'importance de questions, textes, pratiques et idées d'un domaine à l'autre et d'autre part, la position d'une politique par rapport aux autres. Ces connaissances peuvent servir à appuyer, rejeter ou influencer les politiques à divers niveaux. Un réseau de relations entre les politiques offre également un aperçu historique de celles-ci et une explication de leur émergence à des moments donnés.
Protestantism in the Age of Catholic Renewal

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

As the Reformation matured in its second and third generation, it faced new challenges both from within its ranks and from without. In the wake of the conclusion of the Council of Trent, the renewal of spirit within the Catholic Church challenged Protestant churches throughout Northern Europe, while internally Protestantism came to be riven by doctrinal fault lines between Calvinists, Lutherans, and Anglicans. In response to growing competition between religions, many states moved to enforce doctrinal uniformity, even as a wave of moral disciplining became evident in places throughout Northern Europe. At the same time the increasingly heterodox religious scene helped to produce distinct doctrinal, liturgical, and devotional differences among the various post-Reformation religions, producing confessional identities that were to shape Europe into modern times.
Study on the Transmission Error Prediction for a Spur Gear Pair

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, lower gear vibration and noise are necessary for drivers in automotive gearbox, which means that transmission gearbox should be optimized to avoid noise annoyance and fatigue before quantity production. Transmission error (T.E.) is the excitation factor that affects the noise level known as gear whine, and is also the dominant source of noise in the gear transmission system. In this paper, the research background, the definition of T.E. and gear micro-modification were firstly presented, and then different transmission errors of loaded torques for the spur gear pair were studied and compared by a commercial software. It was determined that the optimum gear micro-modification could be applied to optimize the transmission error of the loaded gear pair. In the future, a transmission test rig which is introduced in this paper is about to be used to study the T.E. after gear micro-geometry modification. And finally, the optimized modification can be verified by B&K testing equipment in the semi-anechoic room later.
Competitive Spectrum Allocation with Interference

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the advent of 5G network slicing, demands for spectrum are expected to originate from a variety of services with different requirements. Given the ever-increasing scarcity of spectrum, a key engineering question is how it should be allocated to meet the needs of these services. While previous work has studied spectrum auction design or interference management techniques, little work has been done to combine these two areas for network slicing. We address this by formulating a weighted Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism which uses a bias term to penalize "spectrum pollution". After stating the resource allocation model, we discuss the design and characteristics of the bias term and analyze important economic properties of the mechanism. Our simulation results show a significant improvement in communication performance compared to the vanilla VCG mechanism, and also show that interference-awareness can sometimes improve revenues.
Upper Body Compression Garment: Physiological Effects While Cycling in a Hot Environment

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of an upper body compression garment (UBCG) on physiologic and perceptual responses while cycling in a hot environment. Methods Twenty recreational road cyclists were pair-matched for age, anthropometric data, and fitness level (V̇O 2 max ) and randomly assigned to a control (CON) group (n=10) of cyclists who wore a conventional t-shirt or to a group (n=10) of cyclists who wore UBCG. Test session consisted of cycling at a fixed load (∼50% V̇O 2 max ) for 30 minutes at an ambient temperature of ∼40°C (39.9±0.4°C), followed by 10 minutes of recovery. Results Significantly greater ( P = .002) rectal temperature ( T rec ) was observed at the end of exercise in the UBCG group (38.3±0.2°C) versus CON group (37.9±0.3°C). Significantly greater heart rate (HR) was observed in the UBCG group at minute 15 ( P = .01) and at the end of exercise (187±9 vs 173±10 beats/min; P = .004) for UBCG and CON, respectively. Furthermore, participants who wore UBCG perceived a significantly greater ( P = .03) thermal sensation at the end of exercise. During recovery HR and T rec remained significantly greater ( P < .05) in the UBCG group. Conclusions The use of an UBCG increased cardiovascular and thermoregulatory strain during cycling in a hot environment and did not aid during recovery.
Interactive search for action and motion planning with dynamics

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper proposes an interactive search approach, termed INTERACT, which couples sampling-based motion planning with action planning in order to effectively solve the combined task and motion planning problem. INTERACT is geared towards scenarios involving a mobile robot operating in a fully known environment consisting of static and movable objects. INTERACT makes it possible to specify a task in the planning domain definition language (PDDL) and automatically computes a collision-free and dynamically feasible trajectory that enables the robot to accomplish the task. The coupling of sampling-based motion planning with action planning is made possible by expanding a tree of feasible motions and partitioning it into equivalence classes based on the task predicates. Action plans provide guidance as to which a equivalence class should be further expanded. Information gathered during the motion tree expansion is used to adjust the action costs in order to effectively guide the expansion towards the goal. This interactive process of selecting an equivalence class, expanding the motion tree to implement its action plan and updating the action costs and plans to reflect the progress made is repeated until a solution is found. Experimental validation is provided in simulation using a robotic vehicle to accomplish sophisticated pick-and-place tasks. Comparisons to previous work show significant improvements.
NiCo2S4 microspheres grown on N, S co-doped reduced graphene oxide as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting in alkaline and neutral pH

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

It is of vital importance to design efficient and low-cost bifunctional catalysts for the electrochemical water splitting under alkaline and neutral pH conditions. In this work, we report an efficient and stable NiCo2S4/N, S co-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCS/NS-rGO) electrocatalyst for water splitting, in which NCS microspheres are composed of one-dimentional (1D) nanorods grown homogeneously on the surface of NS-rGOs). The synergetic effect, abundant active sites, and hybridization of NCS/NS-rGO endow their outstanding electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in both alkaline and neutral conditions. Furthermore, NCS/NS-rGO employed as both anode and cathode in a two-electrode alkaline and neutral system electrolyzers deliver 10 mA/cm2 with the low cell voltage of 1.58 V in alkaline and 1.91 V in neutral condition. These results illustrate the rational design of carbon-supported nickel-cobalt based bifunctional materials for practical water splitting over a wide pH range.

Do callers to the NSW Sexual Health Infoline attend the services they are referred to?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background The NSW Sexual Health Infoline (SHIL) is a free and confidential sexual health information and referral line. The ability of Australian sexual health helplines to facilitate successful referrals has not been studied. In the present study, we sought to determine whether callers were successful in accessing the publicly funded sexual health services (PFSHS) or general practitioners (GP) they were referred to. Methods: Callers to SHIL who were directly referred to a PFSHS or GP for HIV and/or sexually transmissible infection testing from 3 January to 31 March 2012 were offered a follow-up phone call 1 week later. Results: Of 474 eligible callers, 190 (40%) agreed to disclose a first name and contact details and to be contacted by a study nurse on an agreed-upon date. One hundred and twenty (63%) callers were successfully contacted 1 week later; of these, 85% had attended or had a future appointment booked for testing. Conclusions: We conclude that among the study sample that was successfully followed up, most callers to the SHIL had attended or booked appointments to the services they were referred to.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study to find out what forms of static displays (information pointers) are provided by the Bina Darma University Library which are then studied in terms of ergonomics based on the value of comfort, beauty, and usefulness. The type of research used descriptive qualitative research. Determination of informants is determined based on non-probability techniques, namely by using purposive sampling. The informants selected were one person in the library staff, namely the librarian. The data collection technique through interviews which are then processed so that they can find conclusions/verification results. The results obtained are static displays in the Bina Darma University Library, namely Warning Displays, working hours, library labels, instructions for using turnitin, instructions on collections, suggestion box labels, and instructions for opening doors. The static display in the Bina Darma University library is still minimal. This is due to the lack of information related to library rules, organizational structures and so on, making users confused and preferring to ask the librarian
