The abundance of knowledge present in this unique and detailed text ensures Neurorehabilitation for the Physical Therapist Assistant will accompany the PTAs throughout their education and into their career.
Synthesis of and characterization some platinum(IV) complexes derived from substituted imides and evaluation of their biological activity

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This research paper explores preparation of furanoanthracene-12,14-dione (1) via the addition of malic anhydride to anthracene. The resultant compound was treated with urea to form the imide derivative (2). Subsequently (2) was reacted with formaldehyde, leading to the substitution of the nitrogen-bound proton with a hydroxymethyl group, yielding hydroxymethyl pyrroloanthracene (3). In the following step, various substituted anilines were reacted with (3) in the presence of triethylamine through an SN2 reaction to replace the hydroxyl group and producing substituted amino methyl-epipyrroloanthracene derivatives (4-10). Three of these derivatives (4-6) were employed as a ligands to synthesize three complexes square planer platinum(IV). The result of conductivity measurement, magnetic and C.H.N. prove the synthesis of the platinum(IV) complexes. The biological activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against four bacterial strains. Additionally, (4-10) were subjected to molecular docking studies against the target protein Penicillin Binding Protein (PDB ID: 3vsl), with Penicillin G serving as the control.

The costs of believing emotions are uncontrollable: Youthsâ implicit theories of emotion predict emotion regulation and depressive symptoms

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

As humans, we have a unique capacity to theorize about our experiences, including our emotions. We develop implicit theories about the nature of emotions, and these beliefs are consequential, guiding whether and how we try to influence our emotions and how we feel as a consequence. One fundamental belief about emotions concerns whether emotions are relatively controllable or uncontrollable. I propose that believing emotions are uncontrollable (entity beliefs) should reduce individualsâ use of emotion regulation strategies that could help them change their emotional experiences (e.g., cognitive reappraisal). This, in turn, could negatively influence psychological health (e.g., depressive symptoms). This model holds particular relevance during youth, when beliefs about emotions first develop and stabilize and when maladaptive beliefs could contribute to the rising depression rates that characterize adolescence. In the present investigation, a pilot diary study (N=223, aged 21-60) demonstrated that individualsâ entity beliefs predicted less use of cognitive reappraisal in everyday life. Then, two studies examined whether entity beliefs set youths on a maladaptive trajectory: In a cross-sectional study (N=136, aged 14-18), youths with stronger entity beliefs experienced more depressive symptoms because they used reappraisal less frequently. This pattern was replicated and extended in a longitudinal study (N=227, aged 10-18), where depressive symptoms were assessed using youth and parent reports 18 months after assessing beliefs. These results suggest that entity beliefs about emotion are risk factors for depression that act via emotion regulation. Because beliefs are still developing in youths, targeting youthsâ beliefs represents an important avenue for prevention and intervention.

Identification of a Rubredoxin-like Protein Required for Biotin Synthesis in Mycobacteria

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

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), biotin is crucial for synthesizing glucose, fatty acids, and mycolic acid components of the bacterial cell wall essential for survival and pathogenesis. TB grows in a biotin-deficient environment during infection and must synthesize its own biotin de novo. Biotin synthase catalyzes the final step in biotin synthesis, in which S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is used to oxidize C-H bonds and a sulfur atom from an iron-sulfur cluster is inserted between two carbon atoms in the biotin precursor, dethiobiotin. In E. coli, biotin synthase also requires the exogenous electron donor flavodoxin, but this protein will not support the activity of the TB enzyme. In mycobacterial genomes, the biotin synthase gene (BioB or Rv1589 in TB) is found adjacent to two uncharacterized genes that code for small proteins with unknown functions (Rv1590 and Rv1591 in TB). Rv1590 codes for a metal-binding protein homologous to rubredoxin domains, suggesting Rv1590 could be involved in electron transfer reactions. This research project focuses on cloning the Rv1590 gene, heterologous expression in E. coli, purification of the resulting metalloprotein, and investigation of the secondary structure, thermal stability, metal content, and redox activity of the purified protein.
A numerical study on the effect of spanwise installation of vortex generators on Francis runner blades

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Hydro turbine operation far off from its best efficiency point introduces vortices and swirl that detaches flow from the blade surface. This break-off of flow accounts to loss in hydrodynamic lift accompanied by pressure fluctuations and vibration that leads to poor performance and mechanical failure of the turbine blades. Vortex generators (VGs) are efficient passive devices deployed to enhance aerodynamic lift of wind turbine blades and aircraft wings and can improve hydrodynamic lift on turbine runner blades as well. This study aims to investigate on the possibility of installation of VGs on the runner blade at leading edge, midspan and trailing edge of the runner blade. The study is carried out on a model Francis turbine developed at Waterpower Laboratory, NTNU. The numerical study is mainly focused on improving performance of the turbine at low speed as well as at the best efficiency speed. The operating head selected for the study is 11.94 m and the speed of the turbine is varied from 233 rpm to 433 rpm at an increment of 25 rpm. The turbine is simulated at different positions of guide vanes and hydraulic performance is calculated and the results of the analysis are compared with reference case without VGs. The results at deep-part load show major improvement in runner efficiency with increment in values up to 4%. The core purpose of the research is to develop effective techniques to operate traditional turbine runner at variable speed with cost-efficient minimal modifications in the geometry of the runner blades.
Survey of effects of different concentrations of electrolytes and pH on characterization of sperm motility in wild carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Effects of pH, Na, K, Ca+ Mg2+ ions on characterization of sperm motility (duration of motility and percentage of motility) of wild carp (C. carpio) were investigated. After determination of optimum pH, its interaction effect with Na, K, Ca2+ and Mg2+ was studied. Maximum motility (duration of motility and percentage of motility) was observed at pH=8.5. Effects of different treatments of NaCl on sperm motility was significantly different (P0.05) while that of the MgCl sub(2) was significantly different (P0.05). In general, it is concluded that movement of spermatozoa of wild carp is influenced by high concentration of ions.
"The Twisted Mind" - Psychogenic Dystonia in An Adolescent, Responding to Antidepressant Therapy.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Psychogenic dystonia is one of the most common problems encountered in movement disorder patients and accounted mostly for misdiagnosis, management confusion and treatment resistance. Psychiatric morbidities often are the culprit, hence proper psychiatric history taking is of utmost importance. Here we report one case where dystonia was the main presenting complaint of an underlying depressive episode and discuss how managing the cause alleviated the symptoms.
“A Swarm in July”: Beekeeping Perspectives on the Old English Wið Ymbe Charm

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Inscribed in the margins of an eleventh-century manuscript1 of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English People and crowded beneath a Latin prayer is a brief bit of advice for beekeepers in the event of a swarm (ymbe), a natural phenomenon in which a substantial portion of an older bee colony migrates en masse with a queen to establish a new colony. The following analysis of this enigmatic text has been inspired largely by three features central to John Miles Foley's vast body of work: interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and comparative research. While the eight lines of alliterative verse that constitute the greater portion of this swarm charm have assured its standing within canonical Old English literature, its insights into traditional apiary practices of Anglo-Saxon England make it equally appropriate subject matter for studies in folklore or even animal science. It is precisely such unlikely intersections that have long served as foci for the transdisciplinary work of John Foley, and it is thus that we now choose it as the subject of analysis for a volume in his honor.2
Efficient integration of a deadwood inventory into an existing forest inventory carried out as two-phase sampling for stratification

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Deadwood is an important component of many ecosystems and plays a major role for biodiversity, soil protection and carbon sequestration. Despite its high ecological value, deadwood is not included in the main focus of traditional forest inventories. The sampling designs of these inventories are therefore not optimal for deadwood sampling. However, in recent years, interest in non-timber aspects of forest structure and demand for multipurpose forest inventories has increased. Drawing on the example of a German state forest district inventory, we suggest an efficient integration of point transect and line intersect sampling of deadwood into an existing forest inventory, carried out as two-phase sampling for stratification. Compared with fixed area sampling, efficiency is tremendously increased using point transect sampling for standing deadwood and line intersect sampling for coarse woody debris.
Engaging Collaborative Learning to Develop Students’ SkiIls of the 21st Century

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Collaborative approaches to teaching and assessing students have been long practised by educators in a variety of educational settings. Collaborative learning is useful in developing students' ability to learn to work as a team while getting them engaged in the learning activities. This study investigates the impact of collaboration in the learning of secondary school Statistics in three government secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam. In total, 71 Year 7 students participated in this study. A series of lessons and group-based activities on Statistics were conducted that consisted of hands-on activities and application of mathematical concept to real-life problems and worksheet-based instruction. Data were collected using pre- and post-tests on secondary school Statistics; a readily available 4-point student work rubrics was used as reference on collaboration that focused specifically on the level of collaboration skills acquired; and a questionnaire on students' attitudes on collaborative learning. The results from the pre- and post-tests revealed an 11.8% increase in the test scores, and 47.9% of the students worked collaboratively within their groups and shared the responsibility towards the given tasks. The responses from the questionnaire indicated that 96% of the students found working collaboratively as a group assisted them in enhancing their learning of Statistics. Majority of the students also believed that they gained more knowledge and learnt specific skills and processes when they work in groups. This study has shown that collaborative learning helped to improve students' performance academically as well as to develop the necessary skills of the 21st Century. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n4p544
Functional analysis of a nuclear regulator of circadian clock in fungal development and pathogenesis.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Magnaporthe oryzae, commonly known as rice blast fungus, is a potent plant pathogen, which infects rice and other cereal crops. The production of asexual spores (conidia), which is induced by light, is important for M. oryzae’s reproduction. In Arabidopsis thaliana, TIME FOR COFFEE (TIC) was found to play an important role in light-sensing. A homolog of TIC was deleted in M. oryzae and the function of Tic was analyzed. The TIC-deletion mutant showed reduced conidiation and pathogenesis. Co-localization of Tic-GFP with histone H1-RFP (hH1-RFP) showed that Tic was localized in the nucleus upon photo-induction. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) showed reduced expression levels of an important feedback component of the Neurospora crassa clock, FRQ in tic∆ compared to the wild type. We suggest that Tic could play an important role in regulation of circadian clock in M. oryzae.

Bisimilarity Enforcing Supervisory Control for Deterministic Specifications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper investigates the supervisory control of nondeterministic discrete event systems to enforce bisimilarity with respect to deterministic specifications. A notion of synchronous simulation-based controllability is introduced as a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a bisimilarity enforcing supervisor, and a polynomial algorithm is developed to verify such a condition. When the existence condition holds, a supervisor achieving bisimulation equivalence is constructed. Furthermore, when the existence condition does not hold, two different methods are provided for synthesizing maximal permissive sub-specifications.
THE GEOGRAPHY OF DESPAIR

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT The current high incidence of lethal violence has been underway since the mid-sixties. Black males form the primary target population. Some attempts have been made to explain the higher propensity of black participation in actions leading to homicidal outcomes. Although many explanations supporting a differential incidence of homicide have been developed, little attention has been devoted to spatial patterns associated with this differential incidence. Homicides in a three-city sample were concentrated in a few, high-risk environments, although unique differences within cities prevail.
Approach by the response surface method to determine the cutting cemperature of AISI 1060 steel

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The surface response method is widely used in many sectors of the industry, this method is a set of statistical and mathematical techniques used to minimize or maximize the factors of production by optimizing inputs factors. The use of this method helps to improve the quality of the products and processes while reducing the time and cost of producing the products. Our goal is to use this method to reduce the number of experiments and analyse the interaction between the cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and to predict the response (cutting temperature) during the machinability of the AISI 1060 steel, by turning. The results found the predicted values obtained by the mathematical model show good agreement with the experimental results, the error percentage of the numerical models and the accuracy were 5.15% and 94.85% respectively.
Development and Validation of a Situational Social Avoidance Scale

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

A 15-item self-report Situational Social Avoidance scale was developed and validated. Two samples of university students (total N = 407) provided data, evidencing high internal consistency (α=.89 for Sample 1, α = .92 for Sample 2) and test-retest reliability of .86 ( n = 65) over a 6.5-wk. interval. A factor-analysis yielded an interpretable 3-factor solution with three domains of social avoidance, (a) social performance, (b) socializing, and (c) self-assertion. Sample 2 showed a significant sex difference, with 138 women scoring higher, especially in the self-assertion and social performance domains. The scale had high positive correlations (from .60 to .78) with four frequently used social anxiety scales, and meaningful correlations with depression ( r = .36), self-esteem ( r = −.49), and self-critical cognition ( r = .50). Differential correlations were found between the scale's three factor-based subscales and the other social anxiety scales, suggesting different situational properties of the latter scales. Research implications and clinical use of the scale are discussed.
EEG measurement of neural oscillations at high and low frequencies across languages

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The comprehension and understanding of language depends upon two critical things: first, the acoustic integrity of the linguistic signal that is sent and received as well as the knowledge of the phonology and meaning that is in a given language. However, little is known about how brain rhythms that track these properties involved in comprehension and understanding. A 14 channel telemetric headset measuring electroencephalography (EEG) was used in this study to track the brainâ€™s response at both high (30-50Hz) and low frequencies (3-30Hz) while language samples at varying levels of intelligibility were presented to a native Spanish speaker under the following listening conditions: Arabic forward, Arabic reversed, Portuguese forward, Portuguese reversed, Spanish forward and Spanish reversed. Results showed that conditions in which language was comprehended were associated with differences at both high and low frequencies in left and right hemisphere electrodes. A condition in which participants partially understood the intended message (i.e., Portuguese) showed differences from native language listening at high frequencies. Findings are discussed with respect to current theoretical accounts of oscillatory function in speech and language processing along with recent findings.
Damping ratio from surface wave tests

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This study explores the effectiveness of Continuous Surface Wave System (CSWS) in determining the damping ratio of a decaying surface wave and the different methods of deriving the damping ratio. Logarithmic Decrement (δ) method and Absorption Coefficient (β) method are used in this study to determine the material damping ratio. The continuous surface wave test is also simulated using a finite element model. Through the finite element model, the methods are found to be effective in estimating damping ratio. Wave amplitudes at both steady state and decaying state are required. It is found that waves are more stable at higher frequency, with lower damping ratio measured.
The effect of VDU text-presentation rate on reading comprehension and reading speed

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The effect of video display unit presentation rate on reading performance was investigated. Reading material was presented at one of the following presentation-rates: 15, 30, 120, 960 cps, or “instant”. In the instant condition, the full text appeared simultaneously on the screen. In the other conditions, text appeared one character at a time starting in the upper left corner of the screen, from left to right and top to bottom. Reading comprehension was highest under the 30 cps and instant presentation conditions. Total time to perform the reading task was equivalent for all conditions except the 15 cps rate which required a longer time to complete the task. In terms of comprehension and time to perform the task, a slow rate of 15 cps, contrary to previous recommendations, is not desirable for novice computer users.
