Public relations in baseball in the 1960's

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

"The first three chapters are concerned with the St. Louis Cardinals' public relations organization. The division in chapters was determined by the three-part division of the St. Louis public relations office. The public relations director and his functions are in the first part of the division, the community relations director and his role in the second part and the sales and promotions department in the final of the three parts. The chapter on promotions also presents the debate among men in baseball concerning the role promotion should play, and thus links Chapter IV with Chapter V, which describes how three separate atypical promotions in baseball helped to improve attendance. Chapter VI uses the preceding as a background and discusses what public relations is doing and is not doing in baseball today. Most of the basis for this chapter is a public relations survey sent to all twenty teams (this was done before the expansion move of 1968 was approved and the four new teams were added to the major leagues). The final chapter draws conclusions from the material presented in the first six chapters. Throughout the thesis are several definitions of public relations, functions of public relations, and theoretical axioms of public relations which support or negate, in theory, the practices of the public relations departments. Their usage is intended to add another dimension to the study. Much of the research for this study was conducted by interviews and on-the-scene reporting. Other sources were leading periodical articles on baseball and on public relations and promotions in baseball."--Page 6.
Autoantibodies to a 64-Kilodalton Islet Cell Protein Precede the Onset of Spontaneous Diabetes in the BB Rat

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Spontaneous insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in the BB rat is associated with the presence of antibodies to a 64-kilodalton rat islet cell protein. These protein antibodies appeared in young animals and remained for as long as 8 weeks before the clinical onset of IDDM. Antibodies to a 64-kilodalton human islet cell protein were found to be associated with human IDDM. Detection of the antibodies may therefore be used to predict an early immune reaction against pancreatic B cells.
P278 A RARE CASE OF RECURRENT SARS–COV–2 MRNA VACCINE–INDUCED PERICARDITIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract 42–year–old man, former smoker, with allergic asthma. From February 2022, three weeks after the third dose of SARS–CoV–2 vaccine Spikevax (mRNA–1273), he experienced subcontinuous chest pain, worsened by breathing, sometimes with fever over 38°C, treated at home with ibuprofen and antibiotics without clinical benefit. After one month, blood chemistry tests showed increased inflammatory markers (CRP 76.5 mg/dL, ESR 55 mm/h), with negative troponin I. SARS–CoV–2 Polymerase Chain Reaction test was negative. On suspicion of subacute pericarditis, ibuprofen (600 mg b.i.d.) and colchicine (0.5 mg b.i.d.) were prescribed. After a week, he was admitted to hospital for reappearance of fever, chest pain and a syncopal episode. On ECG, negative T waves in DII, DIII, aVF; on echocardiogram, circumferential pericardial effusion (max 12 mm); indices of inflammation were increased; troponin I, auto–antibody and viral pattern were negative. On cardiac MRI: pericardial effusion (max 20 mm) with a fluid–corpuscular appearance, meso–subepicardial patchy areas of late gadolinum enhancement (LGE) at the antero– and infero–lateral wall of the left ventricle. Prednisone 25 mg/day and colchicine 1 mg/day were prescribed, with initial benefit. Two weeks later (April 2022), when the prednisone dose was reduced by half, chest pain with fever and pericardial effusion reappeared. The patient restarted prednisone at full dose (0.5 mg/Kg/day) in addition to colchicine and it was decided to do a very gradual décalage over the next six months. On follow–up cardiac MRI: thickening and enhancement of the pericardial leaflets with resolution of the fluid–filled effusion and mesomyocardial LGE striae. Further episodes of NSAID–sensitive chest pain were occasionally reported during cortisone dose reductions. In October 2022, at a dose of 2.5 mg/day dose of prednisone, there was another recurrence of pericarditis, with subcontinuous chest pain and marked increase in inflammatory indices. It was therefore decided to prescribe IL–1 inhibitor therapy (Anakinra) 100 mg/day subcutaneously for six months (ongoing follow–up). Pericarditis is a rare complication of SARS–CoV–2 mRNA vaccine, generally with a benign course, responsive to evidence–based therapy for acute pericarditis. This rare case of recurrent corticosteroid–dependent and colchicine–resistant vaccine–induced pericarditis emphasizes the importance of early diagnostic recognition and correct treatment in the acute phase.
Work function and stability of adsorbed Ba, O, and Ba-O species on an array of tungsten surfaces

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this work, we have used Density Functional Theory to explore the effect of O, Ba and Ba-O adsorbates on W surfaces to assess the impact of these adsorbates on the work function and surface stability for eight different W surface orientations. A discussion of the impact of different surface adsorbates on the surface stability and work function is presented, together with newly discovered stable Ba-O arrangements on the most stable W surfaces. Finally, we discuss the potential role of high index surfaces in electron emission, and the possible impact of W diffusion kinetics on the prevalence of high index surfaces.

Anisotropic Transport Properties in CeAgSb2

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We have measured the electrical resistivity (ρ), the Hall coefficient (RH) and transverse magnetoresistance (MR) of single crystals for heavy-fermion ferromagnet CeAgSb2. These quantities are strongly anisotropic reflecting the two-dimensional electronic structure. At higher temperature, temperature dependence of ρ and RH are dominated by the impurity Kondo scattering. Anomalous positive contribution is observed in MR for j//c-axis and H//a-axis around 30K, which is not explainable by the usual orbital magnetoresistance.
From UMPCs to Cell Phones: How Does Diminishing Screen Real Estate Affect Screen Access and Working Memory?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The goal of this study was to conduct preliminary research to inform system design for an advanced NASA assembly task. The primary objective of this research was to compare procedure-based task performance with three common mobile screen sizes: Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (7in/17.8cm), Personal Data Assistant (3.5in/8.9cm), and SmartPhone (2.8in/7.1cm). Study participants used these three screen sizes to view and complete a computer maintenance procedure. Results from 65 student participants indicated a significant difference in completion times between the three screen sizes (F(2, 120) = 690, p < 0.050), but no differences in subjectively-assessed cognitive workload, errors, or performance time. Competing task completion strategies were revealed through video analysis of access frequency and amount of time subjects spent reading the procedure before starting the experiment (F(2, 105) = 25.17, p<0.001). The 3.5 inch screen appeared to appropriately balance time spent reading the procedure before task start, and referring to the procedure during task execution.
Histopathological Analysis of Quails in the Trans-Pecos Ecoregion of Texas

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Quail populations in Texas, USA, have declined over the past few decades due primarily to habitat loss. The role that parasites may play in such declines has been a recent topic of concern. To help address this question, we collected 12 scaled quail (Callipepla squamata), 8 Gambel’s quail (Callipepla gambelii), and 3 Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) from across the Trans-Pecos ecoregion of Texas via hunter harvest, funnel traps, and night netting. Quail samples were necropsied to determine the abundance of eyeworms (Oxyspirura petrowi). Histopathological analyses were conducted on quail eyeballs and periocular tissues to gain information on parasite-related tissue damage and document other pathogenic factors. We calculated mean abundances of Oxyspirura petrowi for sampled scaled (x̄ = 5.5, standard deviation [SD] = 2.5, x̃ = 3, n = 12), Gambel’s (x̄ = 6.4, SD = 4.2, x̃ = 1.5, n = 8), and Montezuma quail (x̄ = 13, SD = 1.5, x̃ = 13, n = 3). Host tissues exhibited immune responses (i.e., lymphocytic conjunctivitis and plasmacytic adenitis) to O. petrowi. The observed immune responses indicated relatively mild irritation within the ocular tissues. It has been speculated that such irritation to ocular tissues could negatively impact quail vision. This potential impact is worth noting because quails rely on keen vision to detect predators. Future research should focus on measuring the effects of O. petrowi infections on quail survival.
Hybrid antiwindup-fuzzy logic control for an underactuated robot leg precision motion

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Nowadays, numerous ideas has been introduced in developing Bio-inspired robot. Legged robot is the best example of bio-inspired robot. One of the challenging areas in developing these type of robot is control architecture, especially in position control. As the number of legs and its joints is increased, the requirements of robust position control become more demanding as legged robot requires coordination so that it can move in the desired pattern while walking. The demands increases when the legs are in underactuated configuration. This paper presents a hybrid Proportional Integral with antiwindup algorithm and Fuzzy Logic Control (PIA-FLC) as joint position control for underactuated robot leg. The PIA-FLC is experimented on the joints of Hexaquad's leg and is then compared with that using a PIA controller and a FLC controller. The results show that PIA-FLC performs better than the PIA and FLC controllers as the hybrid controller response faster and is able to follow the reference motion with small overshoot and time delay error.
Excitonic Complexes and Emerging Interlayer Electron–Phonon Coupling in BN Encapsulated Monolayer Semiconductor Alloy: WS0.6Se1.4

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess superior optical properties, including the valley degree of freedom that can be accessed through the excitation light of certain helicity. Although WS2 and WSe2 are known for their excellent valley polarization due to the strong spin-orbit coupling, the optical bandgap is limited by the ability to choose from only these two materials. This limitation can be overcome through the monolayer alloy semiconductor, WS2 xSe2(1- x), which promises an atomically thin semiconductor with tunable bandgap. In this work, we show that the high-quality BN encapsulated monolayer WS0.6Se1.4 inherits the superior optical properties of tungsten-based TMDs, including a trion splitting of ∼6 meV and valley polarization as high as ∼60%. In particular, we demonstrate for the first time the emerging and gate-tunable interlayer electron-phonon coupling in the BN/WS0.6Se1.4/BN van der Waals heterostructure, which renders the otherwise optically silent Raman modes visible. In addition, the emerging Raman signals can be drastically enhanced by the resonant coupling to the 2s state of the monolayer WS0.6Se1.4 A exciton. The BN/WS2 xSe2(1- x)/BN van der Waals heterostructure with a tunable bandgap thus provides an exciting platform for exploring the valley degree of freedom and emerging excitonic physics in two-dimension.
Abstract 2347: Zuclopenthixol as an inhibitor of glioblastoma-induced neuronal hyperexcitability

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Drug repurposing serves as a promising avenue for glioblastoma treatment, especially as new evidence emerges about the role of neuronal activity dependent tumor proliferation. Structure based drug discovery with virtual screening requires highly accurate 3D information about the target of choice. Recent developments in machine learning based protein structure prediction have allowed for the exploration of chemical space with virtual screening tools not previously accessible via traditional methods. Netrin-G1 (NTNG1) is an axonal guidance molecule implicated in glioblastoma with high functional connectivity to the cortex. In this study, we explore pharmacologic inhibition of NTNG1 with a clinically approved compound. Methods We perform protein structure predictions with AlphaFold2, followed by structure relaxation in an explicit solvent environment with NAMD 2.14. A final confirmation of NTNG1 was used as input to an AutoDock Vina based virtual screening platform. Zuclopenthixol (ZP) was chosen from a list of hits for microelectrode array (MEA) experiments in a mouse neuron/patient-derived tumor cell co-culture environment. Results A list of clinically approved compounds were returned from our virtual screen. ZP was chosen for validation studies, as it readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and occupies the entire TSP1 binding site in NTNG1. Preliminary results from MEA studies suggest ZP reduces tumor-mediated hyperexcitability and adequately modulates a protein-protein interaction between NTNG1 and TSP1. Conclusion By demonstrating that ZP decreases tumor-mediated hyperexcitability, this study offers evidence for the novel application of ZP to reduce glioblastoma proliferation. Further work will focus on survival analyses in mice treated with ZP and validation of experimental compounds that are structurally similar to ZP. Citation Format: Mikias B.

Study on Security Enhancement of 64-Bit NFSR-based Block Cipher Systems with Ring Structure

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the modern information society, security techniques (cryptography, authentication) are very important when we exchange secret/private information. In our laboratory, block cipher systems using nonlinear feedback shift register (NFSR) have been proposed and their performance has been evaluated. The NFSR is one of pseudorandom number generators, which is composed of D flip-flops and a combinational logic circuit. In this paper, we improve the NFSR-based 64-bit block cipher systems with ring structure for security enhancement.
Effect of drug treatment changes and seizure outcomes on depression and suicidality in adults with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective To investigate changes in depressive and suicidality status and their relationship with seizure outcomes after the addition or substitution of another antiseizure medication (ASM) in adults with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. Methods Seven hundred seventy consecutively enrolled patients were assessed and followed prospectively for seizure outcome and depressive status over a 6‐month period after starting treatment with a newly introduced ASM. The Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy (NDDIE) was used to screen for depression and suicidality. Correlations of NDDIE results with clinical and treatment‐related variables were assessed by using a stepwise logistic regression model. Results At baseline, 50% of patients had a positive screening test result for depression and 13% had a positive screening test result for suicidal ideation. A psychiatric comorbidity at baseline was associated with a 2.3 times increased risk of an initially negative NDDIE screening result becoming positive at re‐assessment after 6 months. In addition, the number of ASMs taken at baseline correlated with an increased risk of a change in depression screening test results from negative to positive during follow‐up, whereas no association was identified with sociodemographic and epilepsy‐related variables, including seizure outcomes. Approximately 6% of patients who were initially negative at screening for suicidal ideation became positive at the 6‐month re‐assessment. The risk of switch from a negative to a positive screening test result for suicidal ideation was increased more than two‐fold in individuals who screened positive for depression at baseline, and was unrelated to the type of ASM introduced, sociodemographic variables, or seizure outcomes. Significance Almost 1 in 5 adults with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy who screen negative for depression become positive when re‐assessed 6 months after a treatment change. At re‐assessment 6 months later, 6.1% who screen initially negative for passive suicidal ideation become positive. These changes in screening status are independent of type of ASM introduced or seizure outcomes but correlate with psychiatric status at baseline.
Sugar Separation Using Liquid Membranes and Boronic Acid Carriers

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Boronic acids are shown to facilitate the transport of a range of hydrophilic sugars through lipophilic membranes. The results suggest that boronic acids have promise as transport carriers in membrane-based sugar separations. Most of the work involves Bulk Liquid Membranes (BLMs), for which the various chemical and physical factors that control transport are examined in detail. The use of boronic acids in large-scale separations will require changing to more practical liquid membrane systems, such as Supported Liquid Membranes (SLMs) with hollow fiber geometries. Boronic acids can also transport sugars through lipid bilayers. The possibility of developing a sugar separations method based on liposomes is discussed.

Suicidality Disparities Between Transgender and Cisgender Adolescents

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emerging evidence indicates transgender adolescents (TGAs) exhibit elevated rates of suicidal ideation and attempt compared with cisgender adolescents (CGAs). Less is known about risk among subgroups of TGAs because of limited measures of gender identity in previous studies. We examined disparities in suicidality across the full spectrum of suicidality between TGAs and CGAs and examined risk for suicidality within TGA subgroups. METHODS: Adolescents aged 14 to 18 completed a cross-sectional online survey (N = 2020, including 1148 TGAs). Participants reported gender assigned at birth and current gender identity (categorized as cisgender males, cisgender females, transgender males, transgender females, nonbinary adolescents assigned female at birth, nonbinary adolescents assigned male at birth, and questioning gender identity). Lifetime suicidality (passive death wish, suicidal ideation, suicide plan, suicide attempt, and attempt requiring medical care) and nonsuicidal self-injury were assessed. RESULTS: Aggregated into 1 group, TGAs had higher odds of all outcomes as compared with CGAs. Within TGA subgroups, transgender males and transgender females had higher odds of suicidal ideation and attempt than CGA groups. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we used comprehensive measures of gender assigned at birth and current gender identity within a large nationwide survey of adolescents in the United States to examine suicidality among TGAs and CGAs. TGAs had higher odds of all suicidality outcomes, and transgender males and transgender females had high risk for suicidal ideation and attempt. Authors of future adolescent suicidality research must assess both gender assigned at birth and current gender identity to accurately identify and categorize TGAs.
Clinically Suspected Myocarditis in COVID-19 Patients: Case Series and Review of Literature

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We described eleven patients positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The younger age and female gender seem to contribute to poor outcomes possibly. Furthermore, the left ventricle ejection fraction and pro-BNP improvement within the first week of treatment might indicate a good prognosis.
Nieważność miejscowego planu zagospodarowania przestrzennego

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article is devoted to the issue of the grounds for challenging a local spatial development plan. The case law of administrative courts indicates that there may be many of these grounds, but the most important are a violation of the planning procedure, placing the complainant in a worse position than the owners of other properties covered by the plan, limiting rights to land contrary to the principle of proportionality, or inconsistency of the provisions of the local plan with the provisions of the general plan. However, a common feature of all the grounds is a conﬂict with the law, i.e. the local plan’s non-compliance with the law. This means that this conﬂict must be clear in its content, and directly contravene the provision of law. A contradiction of the resolution on the adoption of the local plan due to a violation of generally applicable legal acts constitutes a basis for declaring the local plan invalid. However, the Spatial Planning and Development Act does not specify what violations should be considered signiﬁcant, therefore the assessment of the gravity of the violation is left to the practice and experience of supervisory authorities and administrative courts. In particular, signiﬁcant violations include not only exceeding the principles of drawing up a local plan but also exceeding the planning authority of the commune. The latter occurs when the plan introduces property restrictions that are inconsistent with the constitutional principle of equality or the principle of proportionality, and which differentiate the legal position of their owners in relation to neighbouring lands covered by the local plan. The occurrence of at least one of the premises causing a violation of the requirements for the adoption of a local plan will result in its invalidity.
