W1999811352 | <TITLE> Cyclic localization of actin and its relationship to junctional complexes in maturation ameloblasts of the rat incisor
<ABSTRACT> Abstract The patterns of fluorescence associated with maturation ameloblasts of mandibular incisors labeled with 7nitrobenz2oxa1,3diazolephallacidin NBDphallacidin for the detection of Factin were investigated in normal and fluoridetreated rats. In normal rats, bands of smoothended ameloblasts SA exhibited intense fluorescence at their proximal ends only. Bands of ruffleended ameloblasts RA exhibited strong fluorescence at their distal ends as well as at their proximal ends. Regional differences in degree of intensity within the bands and between bands were displayed. In the apical part of the RA bands the proximal fluorescence was intense it then decreased in an incisal direction and it finally was absent close to the adjacent SA band. The incisal extension of strong proximal fluorescence in RA bands was short in early maturation and long in late maturation. The fluorescence pattern at both ends of the ameloblasts was cyclically repeated throughout the region of ameloblast modulation corresponding to the numbers of SA bands. In rats receiving 113 ppm fluoride in their drinking water for 2 months the number of fluorescence and ameloblast modulation cycles was reduced equally indicating that the cyclic Factin localization is a phenomenon related to ameloblast modulation. Electron microscopy revealed that areas of strong fluorescence contained filament bundles, presumably actin filaments, in relation to continuous junctions occluding the interameloblast spaces. Areas of weak or no fluorescence were related to discontinuous macular junctions. The results suggest that the changes in Factin distribution correlate well with junctional complex development, and therefore, possible functions related to the interameloblast spaces within the RA bands may be redistributed as the ameloblasts are carried incisally by the erupting incisor. | T12110: Bone and Dental Protein Studies | 27: Medicine | 2745: Rheumatology | 4: Health Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> In this paper, multigrid fictitious boundary methodMFBM coupled with arbitrary LagrangianEulerian ALE and moving grid techniques is presented to direct numerical simulation of incompressible viscous flows around four fixed, forced oscillating or free moving cylinders to the incoming flow. Numerical results indicate that the present numerical method can capture complex interference and flowcylinders interaction phenomena including the famous wake galloping effects, in which a cylinder in the wake of another experiences large flowinduced vibration over a wide range of flow velocities. | T11254: Fluid Dynamics and Vibration Analysis | 22: Engineering | 2206: Computational Mechanics | 3: Physical Sciences |
W1994461617 | <TITLE> Selfassembly and structural relaxation in a model ionomer melt
<ABSTRACT> Molecular dynamics simulations are used to understand the selfassembly and structural relaxation in ionomer melts containing less than 10 degree of ionization on the backbone. The selfassembly of charged sites and counterions shows structural ordering and agglomeration with a range of structures that can be achieved by changing the dielectric constant of the medium. The intermediate scattering function shows a decoupling of charge and counterion relaxation at longer length scales for only high dielectric constant and at shorter length scales for all dielectric constants. Overall, the slow structural decay of counterions in the strongly correlated ionomer system closely resembles transport properties of semiflexible polymers. | T11608: Dielectric materials and actuators | 22: Engineering | 2204: Biomedical Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

W2020058396 | <TITLE> Bisexual womens understandings of social marginalisation The heterosexuals dont understand us but nor do the lesbians
<ABSTRACT> Drawing on interviews with 20 selfidentified bisexual women, this paper contributes to the limited psychological literature on bisexual women by exploring their experiences of social marginalisation. These mainly white and middle class British bisexual women reported that they did not feel at home in either lesbian or lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, nor in the wider heteronormative society. They identified a number of understandings bisexuality as a temporary phase on the path to a fully realised lesbian or heterosexual identity and bisexuals as immature, confused, greedy, untrustworthy, highly sexual and incapable of monogamy which they reported as arising from lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities and the wider society. The women refuted these accounts which they stated did not reflect their experiences of bisexual identity and which positioned bisexuality as invisible and invalid. | T13632: Marriage and Sexual Relationships | 33: Social Sciences | 3312: Sociology and Political Science | 2: Social Sciences |

W1588337914 | <TITLE> Information needs of small ruminant rearers in PeriUrban areas of Southwest Nigeria
<ABSTRACT> The study aimed at recognizing the information needs of small ruminant rearers within households in three periurban areas of Oyo state and IleOgbo in Osun state. The respondents were purposively selected and snowball technique was used to identify them. Focus group discussion and questionnaireinterview schedule were used to collect information for the study. It was discovered that 51.3 of respondents were aged 50years and above indicating that the rearing of small ruminants was also suitable for the more settled and slower citizens and that 73.6 of the respondent had some form of education. Majority of the respondents 87.6 earned less than N5,000.00 monthly from small ruminants and 94.2 of them think rearing small ruminants is profitable. In addition, 77.7 of them reared small ruminants primarily for income generation. The study also revealed that the most important constraints to small ruminant production were theft, death from vehicles and pests and disease infestations and that the respondents needed information on small ruminant rearing in areas like feeding, management system, housing, disease identification and record keeping. | T12467: Rangeland Management and Livestock Ecology | 23: Environmental Science | 2308: Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law | 3: Physical Sciences |
W2013956327 | <TITLE> Does Nonsurgical Treatment Improve Longitudinal Outcomes of Lateral Epicondylitis Over No Treatment? A Metaanalysis
<ABSTRACT> Background Lateral epicondylitis is a painful tendinopathy for which several nonsurgical treatment strategies are used. Superiority of these nonsurgical treatments over nontreatment has not been definitively established. Questionspurposes We asked whether nonsurgical treatment of lateral epicondylitis compared with observation only or placebo provides 1 better overall improvement, 2 less need for escape interventions, 3 better outcome scores, and 4 improved grip strength at intermediate to longterm followup. Methods The Englishlanguage literature was searched using PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Randomizedcontrolled trials RCTs comparing any form of nonsurgical treatment with either observation only or placebo at followup of at least 6 months were included. Nonsurgical treatments included injections corticosteroid, plateletrich plasma, autologous blood, sodium hyaluronate, or glycosaminoglycan polysulfate, physiotherapy, shock wave therapy, laser, ultrasound, corticosteroid iontophoresis, topical glyceryl trinitrate, or oral naproxen. Methodologic quality was assessed with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials CONSORT checklist, and 22 RCTs containing 2280 patients were included. Pooled analyses were performed to evaluate overall improvement requirement for escape interventions treatment of any kind, outside consultation, and surgery outcome scores PatientRated Tennis Elbow Evaluation PRTEE DASH PainFree Function Index PFFI EuroQoL EQ5D and overall function and maximum and painfree grip strength. Sensitivity analyses were performed using only trials of excellent or good quality. Heterogeneity analyses were performed, and funnel plots were constructed to assess for publication bias. Results Nonsurgical treatment was not favored over nontreatment based on overall improvement risk ratio RR 1.05 0.961.15 p 0.32, need for escape treatment RR 1.50 0.842.70 p 0.17, PRTEE scores mean difference MD 1.47, 0.682.26 p 0.001, DASH scores MD 2.69, 15.80 to 10.42 p 0.69, PFFI scores standardized mean difference SMD 0.25, 0.32 to 0.81 p 0.39, overall function using changefrombaseline data SMD 0.11, 0.14 to 0.36 p 0.37 and final data SMD 0.16, 0.79 to 0.47 p 0.61, EQ5D scores SMD 0.08, 0.52 to 0.67 p 0.80, maximum grip strength using changefrombaseline data SMD 0.12, 0.11 to 0.35 p 0.31 and final data SMD 4.37, 0.65 to 9.38 p 0.09, and painfree grip strength using changefrombaseline data SMD 0.20, 0.84 to 0.43 p 0.53 and final data SMD 0.03, 0.61 to 0.54 p 0.91.

W2000666571 | <TITLE> Influence of cryptogamic crust disturbance to wind erosion on sand and loam rangeland soils
<ABSTRACT> A portable field wind tunnel was used to assess the sediment flux rates of loam and sand textured soils in the Mallee region of southeastern Australia. Three levels of crust disturbance nil, moderate and severe simulating stock trampling were investigated. The results demonstrated the importance of cryptogamic crusts in binding the soil surface and providing roughness after the soil was moderately disturbed. On the loamy soil, the crust helped maintain sediment flux rates below the erosion control target to 5 g m1 s1 for a 65 km h1 wind measured at 10 m height. Once the crust was severely disturbed, sediment fluxes increased to 16 times the erosion target. On the sandy soil, even with no crust disturbance the sediment flux was 16 times the erosion control target. Disturbing the crust increased sediment fluxes to a maximum of 67 times the erosion control target. Removal of the crust also decreased the threshold wind velocity that resulted in an increase to the risk of erosion from 5 per cent to 20 per cent. 1998 John Wiley Sons, Ltd. | T12383: Aeolian processes and effects | 19: Earth and Planetary Sciences | 1904: Earth-Surface Processes | 3: Physical Sciences |

W189451180 | <TITLE> Immunoreactive insulin response to a single dose of glimepiride in lean type 2 diabetic subjects.
<ABSTRACT> The best method for glucose lowering in lean type 2 diabetes remains controversial and this study was undertaken to study the 24 hour insulin response of these diabetics to glimepiride, a sulfonylurea with distinctive properties.Twenty five consecutive newly diagnosed dietunresponsive lean type 2 diabetics BMI 19 kgm2 without any vascular complications were given single dose 1 mg of glimepiride and insulin responses were measured 2,4,8,12 and 24 hours later. Pre and postglimepiride blood glucose levels were also measured.All the postglimepiride insulin levels were significantly higher than basal values. Increase in insulin secretion peaked at four hours and benefits lasted for at least 24 hours. This was accompanied by clinically and statistically significant reductions in fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels. Maximum secretory response correlated positively with beta cell function HOMA and negatively with fasting glucose.Glimepiride improved insulin secretion and hyperglycemia in lean type 2 diabetic subjects, with benefits lasting for 24 hours. The degree of response was proportional to the beta cell reserve, and occurred irrespective of the presence or absence of markers of insulin resistance. | T10401: Diabetes Treatment and Management | 27: Medicine | 2712: Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism | 4: Health Sciences |
W1521719375 | <TITLE> Cosmic diffuse gammarays at medium energies
<ABSTRACT> Cosmic diffuse gammaray fluxes have been measured in six energy intervals from 2 to 25 MeV with a balloonborne gammaray telescope. It is found that the observed fluxes are compatible with an energy distribution of 0.0265 times E to the 2.08 photonsq cmssrMeV at lower energies and steepen at higher energies to meet a power law of 0.017 EMeV to the 2.4. No deviation of the gammaray flux from isotropy is observed for five different times during the balloon flight for 10deg intervals up to 50 deg from the zenith and at celestial coordinates varying from latitude 27 deg, longitude 102 deg to latitude 56 deg, longitude 195 deg, excluding the region in the galacticanticenter direction. Upper limits to fluxes of 325MeV gamma rays are deduced for a number of possible galactic and extragalactic sources. | T10818: Astrophysics and Cosmic Phenomena | 31: Physics and Astronomy | 3106: Nuclear and High Energy Physics | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1519979449 | <TITLE> Blood Flow and Pressure Telemetry.
<ABSTRACT> Abstract The major emphasis of this past years research effort toward characterizing the responses of the cardiovascular system of the military working dog has been to obtain renal hemodynamic information from dogs involved in various stages of obedience, scouting, tracking, and aggression training with technical assistance from Military Working Dog Center personnel. Through the use of a renal model concept developed in this laboratory, intrarenal hemodynamic variations induced by a situational stimuli have been examined. In addition to the major goal of studying cardiovascular responses in dogs, a corollary effort has been to further develop and evaluate the renal model and to continue to improve the reliability of the measurements by improving the reliability of the data acquisition system. As a result of these studies, five papers are in press and two additional manuscripts are being prepared for submission.

W1567976927 | <TITLE> Resummation of jet mass with and without a jet veto
<ABSTRACT> Calculating the distribution of jet masses in highenergy collisions is challenging because fixedorder perturbation theory breaks down near the peak region, and because multiple scales complicate the resummation. To avoid using a jet veto, one can consider inclusive observables, in which every particle is in a jet. We demonstrate that calculating the mass of the hardest jet in multijet events can be problematic, and we give an example of an inclusive observable, asymmetric thrust, which can be resummed to nexttonexttoleading logarithmic accuracy. Exclusive observables with outofjet regions are more complicated. Even for ee dijet events at energy Q, to calculate the mass m of jets of size R, one must impose a veto on the energy omega of extra jets to force dijet kinematics then there are both log mQ and log momega singularities. To proceed, we suggest a refactorization of the soft function in the small R limit. To justify this refactorization, we show that the expansion of the resummed distribution is in excellent agreement with fixed order. This motivates considering the expansion around small R as a useful handle on producing phenomenologically useful resummed jet mass distributions. The strong evidence we give for refactorization at small R is independent of nonglobal logarithms, which are not the subject of this paper. | T10527: High-Energy Particle Collisions Research | 31: Physics and Astronomy | 3106: Nuclear and High Energy Physics | 3: Physical Sciences |

<ABSTRACT> Abstract We discuss the possibilities of the socalled weak regeneration in the steadystate analysis of multiserver queues and some Jacksontype and multiclass queueing networks when classical regenerative simulation is ineffective. A few constructions of weak regeneration for open Jacksontype and multiclass queueing networks are given in an explicit form. Conditions are found when efficiency of weak regeneration expressed in the simulation time needed for confidence estimation with a given precision stays very high while the efficiency of classical regeneration is rapidly decreasing. Numerical results are also considered which illustrate an advantage of the weak regeneration in simulation of some tandem queueing networks. | T10974: Advanced Queuing Theory Analysis | 14: Business, Management and Accounting | 1404: Management Information Systems | 2: Social Sciences |
W1592892951 | <TITLE> Conjugal transfer system of the IncN plasmid pKM101
<ABSTRACT> The conjugal transfer system of the broadhost range IncN plasmid pKM101 was analyzed genetically. Its organization differed significantly from that of the F plasmid. The tra genes are located in three regions, each between 3 and 4 kilobases in length. All of the genes in the first two regions are required for sensitivity to donorspecific phage which bind to the plasmidmediated sex pilus, and these genes therefore are involved in the synthesis, and possibly retraction, of the sex pilus. The plasmids origin of transfer was localized to a 1.2kilobase region at an extreme end of the transfer region. Using two different methods, we have identified 11 complementation groups required for transfer. One of these, traC, is of special interest in that mutations at this locus can be partially suppressed if, prior to mating, cells carrying a traC mutant plasmid are incubated with cells which elaborate sex pili but are unable to transfer their plasmids. One possible explanation for this is that piluselaborating cells can donate traC gene product to a traC mutant in a form that can be reused. | T11048: Bacteriophages and microbial interactions | 23: Environmental Science | 2303: Ecology | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1557012110 | <TITLE> Thermal instability and heat transfer characteristics in waterice systems
<ABSTRACT> Abstract This review discusses problems associated with the anomalous temperaturedensity relations of water. It covers a onset of convection, b temperature structure and natural convective heat transfer, and c laminar forced convective heat transfer in the waterice system. The onset of convection in a waterice system was found to dependent on thermal boundary conditions, not a constant value as in the classical fluids that have a monotonic temperaturedensity relationship. The waterice system also exhibits a unique temperature distribution in the melt layer immediately after the critical Rayleigh number is exceeded and soon after it establishes a more or less constant temperature region progressively deepening as the melt layer grows. The constant temperature is approximately 3.2 C for water layers formed from above but varies for melt layers from below. The heat flux across the waterice interface was found to be a weak power function and to increase linearly with temperature for melted layers from above and below, respectively.

W1614560433 | <TITLE> Higher Yields and Greater Uniformity With Hybrid Sunflowers
<ABSTRACT> The topic is hybrid sunflowers with greater uniformity and higher yields. sunflowers displayed a distinct yield advantages over openpollinated varieties, hybrids had not been grown commercially in the United States because of high labor costs involved in producing the seed and difficulty in obtaining seed that would be 100 hybrid. This article presents performance data on highoil sunflower hybrids as compared to openpollinated varieties grown in North Dakota in 1972. In summary, the authors stated, Hybrid sunflower varieties had significantly higher yields and greater uniformity for rust reaction, flowering, height, head size and per cent seed oil than openpollinated varieties. As a result of improved methods of seed production, hybrids can now be produced for commercial production. | T12742: Sunflower and Safflower Cultivation | 11: Agricultural and Biological Sciences | 1110: Plant Science | 1: Life Sciences |

W2883950744 | <TITLE> Secure Transmission for GPQSM System Exploiting Artificial Noise and Signal Space Diversity
<ABSTRACT> In this paper, a secure generalised precoding aided quadrature spatial modulation SGPQSM scheme is proposed to resist the passive eavesdropping that is unknown to the transmitter. With the help of artificial noise in the null space, the SGPQSM scheme can retain all the advantages of generalised precoding aided quadrature spatial modulation GPQSM at the legitimate receiver while producing interference to the eavesdropper. Signal space diversity SSD is also used to increase the diversity order. Then the secrecy capacity of our proposed SGPQSM is analyzed and the optimal power allocation between signal and artificial noise is investigated. Simulation results demonstrate that our SGPQSM can significantly improve the secrecy performance. In multipleinput multipleoutput systems, the proposed SGPQSM scheme performs better than the existing secure scheme. | T11458: Advanced Wireless Communication Technologies | 22: Engineering | 2208: Electrical and Electronic Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

W2373329463 | <TITLE> Research on the Credit Education Model for College Students from the Perspective of Social Control
<ABSTRACT> Credit is an important means of social control,but this function has been degrading among college students due to various factors.It has surfaced that fraudulent social attractions are employed to realize social exchanges.From the perspective of social exchange theory by Peter Blau,and with social attraction,reciprocity and rationality as the key analytical concepts,the paper analyzes creditlosing cases among college students in jobseeking,and describes the creditlosing into three stages,namely,forming basic requirements of social attractions to understand the employers needs,adjusting selfperformance to create fraudulent social attractions,and realizing social exchange with such unreal social attractions.The paper advocates the strengthening of the social controlling function of a creditbased society and explores the credit education model for college students from the aspects of course construction,environment construction and mechanism construction. | T14413: Advanced Technologies in Various Fields | 17: Computer Science | 1702: Artificial Intelligence | 3: Physical Sciences |
W1607034335 | <TITLE> Une methode pour caracteriser les communautes des reseaux dynamiques a attributs
<ABSTRACT> Many complex systems are modeled through complex networks whose analysis reveals typical topological properties. Amongst those, the community structure is one of the most studied. Many methods are proposed to detect communities, not only in plain, but also in attributed, directed or even dynamic networks. A community structure takes the form of a partition of the node set, which must then be characterized relatively to the properties of the studied system. We propose a method to support such a characterization task. We define a sequencebased representation of networks, combining temporal information, topological measures, and nodal attributes. We then characterize communities using the most representative emerging sequential patterns of its nodes. This also allows detecting unusual behavior in a community. We describe an empirical study of a network of scientific collaborations.De nombreux systemes complexes sont etudies via lanalyse de reseaux dits complexes ayant des proprietes topologiques typiques. Parmi cellesci, les structures de communautes sont particulierement etudiees. De nombreuses methodes permettent de les detecter, y compris dans des reseaux contenant des attributs nodaux, des liens orientes ou evoluant dans le temps. La detection prend la forme dune partition de lensemble des noeuds, quil faut ensuite caracteriser relativement au systeme modelise. Nous travaillons sur lassistance a cette tache de caracterisation. Nous proposons une representation des reseaux sous la forme de sequences de descripteurs de noeuds, qui combinent les informations temporelles, les mesures topologiques, et les valeurs des attributs nodaux. Les communautes sont caracterisees au moyen des motifs sequentiels emergents les plus representatifs issus de leurs noeuds. Ceci permet notamment la detection de comportements inhabituels au sein dune communaute. Nous decrivons une etude empirique sur un reseau de collaboration scientifique. | T10064: Complex Network Analysis Techniques | 31: Physics and Astronomy | 3109: Statistical and Nonlinear Physics | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1986948410 | <TITLE> Complications of face lift surgery
<ABSTRACT> Dr. Kaye The first case is a patient shown with hair lossor, perhaps more accurately, repositioning of the hairafter undergoing a face lift Figure 1. Dr. Connell, how does one avoid this type of problem? Figure 1. Patient shown with repositioning of the hair after undergoing face lift. Dr. Connell In the preoperative evaluation, I carefully examine the patient, pinching the skin to determine how the hair will shift as a result of surgery. If the amount of skin that will be moved toward the temple area would shift the hair to an objectionable degree, I discuss this with the patient. The choices are either having a scar that follows along the hairline, which is not ideal but rarely causes a problem, or having the hairline shift. Most of my patients opt for the incision along the hairline, but there may be some who would not object to the hair shifting. Dr. McKinney I would have avoided this patients problem by not trying to lift the midface so much by means of the temporal incisions. I find that an endoscopie brow lift offers a better option for achieving similar improvement to the mid or upper face, and it avoids shifting the hairline. Dr. Stuzin The key is in the design and control of the incisions. A good scar that is imperceptible is a much better alternative than hairline alteration. Dr. Kaye What treatment would you recommend for this patients current problem? Dr. Connell We used to try various flaps, and some of my colleagues had success with derotating and then correcting the defect on top. However, today the results of micrografts and singlehair grafts are very good. I have sent this type of patient to a colleague for micrografts, and the outcome has been excellent.

W1590186448 | <TITLE> Sequential Batch Anaerobic Composting of Municipal Solid Waste MSW and Yard Waste
<ABSTRACT> Sequential batch anaerobic composting SEBAC was used to treat two fractions of municipal solid waste MSW, the organic fraction of the MSW processed MSW and yard waste. Processed MSW gave a mean methane yield of 0.19 m3 kg1 volatile solids VS range 0.180.22 after 42 days. The mean VS reduction was 49.7 range 46.652.4 for this same period. Yard waste gave a mean methane yield of 0.07 m3 kg1 VS range 0.05 0.09. Methane content of the biogas stabilized at a mean of 48 SD 11 from three to four days after startup. The mean VS reduction for yard waste was 19 range 1324. With processed MSW the volatile acid concentration was over 3000 mg L 1 during startup but these acids were reduced within a few days to negligible levels. The trend was similar with yard waste except that volatile acids reached maximum concentrations of less than 1000 mg L1. Composts from the reactors were evaluated for agronomic characteristics and pollution potential. Processed MSW and yard waste residues had marginal fertilizer value but posed no potential for groundwater pollution. Yard waste residue caused no apparent inhibition to mustard Brassicajuncea germination relative to a commercial growth medium. Anaerobic yard waste compost demonstrated the potential to improve the water holding capacity of Florida soils. | T11952: Landfill Environmental Impact Studies | 23: Environmental Science | 2311: Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

W1991737349 | <TITLE> Coppercopper direct bonding Impact of grain size
<ABSTRACT> In recent years, a great interest has emerged in the development of new waferscale assembly processes. Beside the mechanical strength required, some applications need a vertical conductivity leading to implement metal thin films as bonding layers. For its interesting properties in terms of resistivity and reliability, copper has been already used in metalmetal direct bonding configuration. Initially developed on amorphous silicon dioxide layers, the polycristallinity character of metal films has a direct impact on the direct bonding mechanisms. In this paper, we will study the effect of grain size on direct bonding of polycrystalline copper thin films. More specifically at temperature below 150C, a finegrain copper microstructure demonstrates a fast sealing strengthening. For higher temperature application, a larger grain size enables limiting the copperbarrier interface damage and preserves a strong mechanical link between substrates. | T11527: 3D IC and TSV technologies | 22: Engineering | 2208: Electrical and Electronic Engineering | 3: Physical Sciences |

Facing this regrettable situation the historians of the traditionalist school usually recommend an Improvement of the literary qualities of the historiographical storytelling as the infallible means to get more readers. The authors of this paper, however, viewing the distressing methodological confusion among historians, emphasize the necessity of emancipation from the literary traditions of the historical work and from the subjectivist, speculative and metaphysical approach of the past, and suggest a full integration of history with the other social sciences. | T13497: Hermeneutics and Narrative Identity | 12: Arts and Humanities | 1211: Philosophy | 2: Social Sciences |
W1533879519 | <TITLE> Transmisión vertical de precios en el sector de la carne vacuna en Argentina
<ABSTRACT> This study addresses the issue of price transmission at different levels in the Argentinas beef industry. Previous research has suggested that the process of price transmission in the beef supply chain is asymmetric, with input price increases passed on more rapidly and completely than input price decreases. A threshold cointegration approach was used to test empirically the price transmission process. The results support the hypothesis that prices moved asymmetrically in the period analyzed, with price increases transmitted faster than price decreases. The study has important implications for the participants in the beef market and for public policy in the Argentinas beef sector. | T11898: Economics of Agriculture and Food Markets | 20: Economics, Econometrics and Finance | 2002: Economics and Econometrics | 2: Social Sciences |

W1501606210 | <TITLE> A Flexible SemiParametric Approach to Estimating a DoseResponse Relationship the Treatment of Childhood Amblyopia.
<ABSTRACT> In a study of a doseresponse relationship, flexibility in modelling is essential to capturing the treatment effect when the mean effect of other covariates is not fully understood, so that observed treatment effect is not due to the imposition of a rigid model for the relationship between response, treatment, and other variables. A semiparametric additive linear mixed SPALM model Ruppert et al. 2003 provides a tractable and flexible approach to modelling the influence of potentially confounding variables. In this paper, we present pure likelihood and Bayesian versions of the SPALM model. Both methods of inference are readily implementable, but the Bayesian approach allows coherent propagation of uncertainty in the model, and, more importantly, allows prediction of future experimental results for as yet untreated individuals, thus allowing an assessment of the merits of different dosing strategies. We motivate the use of the methodology with the Monitored Occlusion Treatment of Amblyopia Study MOTAS, which investigated the relationship between duration of occlusion and improvement in visual acuity. | T10841: Economic and Environmental Valuation | 20: Economics, Econometrics and Finance | 2002: Economics and Econometrics | 2: Social Sciences |

W1560416808 | <TITLE> Survival models for exploring tuberculosis clinical trial dataan empirical comparison
<ABSTRACT> The proportional hazard PH model and its extension are used comprehensively to assess the effect of an intervention in the presence of covariates. The assumptions of PH model may not hold where the effect of the intervention is to accelerate the onset of an event. The accelerated failure time AFT model is the alternative when the PH assumption does not hold. The aim of this paper is to formulate a model that yields biological plausible and interpretable estimates of the effect of important covariates on survival time. The data consists of 1236 tuberculosis patients admitted in randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of six covariates are considered for modeling. The AFT model gives better prediction than the Cox PH model. | T11235: Statistical Methods in Clinical Trials | 26: Mathematics | 2613: Statistics and Probability | 3: Physical Sciences |

W2331490229 | <TITLE> Public Safety and Private Police
<ABSTRACT> Among the most important duties of public administrators is that of securing public safetypolice and fire protection. Today, the major question confronting administrators, police officials, and the public is the provision of public safety at a level that is both financially acceptable and appropriate to the needs of the community. In recent years, the major barometers of crime have fallen somewhat. But these marginal decreases have not persuaded the public that they are adequately protected against crime by the criminal justice system. In fact, social indicators point strongly to the fact that fear of crime is increasing. Calls to police for service, public opinion surveys, changing shopping and traffic patterns in highrisk neighborhoods, the spread of private prevention devices including alarms, locks, and bars, and the dramatic rise in private security, all underscore public concern about crime. During the past decade, moreover, individuals and communities have asked for more service from the police. A recent survey reveals a 20 percent average increase in calls for service in just the five years between 1976 and 1981.2 In addition to the traditional services, people routinely request police checks of their homes while they are away on vacation, escorts for merchants making bank deposits, extra patrols at business closing times, and the reassurance that police will check out suspicious persons just hanging around. Citizens complain that prostitution, public drinking, and harassment of residents get insufficient police attention despite increasing public expressions of concern. Resources to meet the increasing demand have dwindled. In most major cities, police personnel have declined, and the number of police employees per 1,000 population dropped 10 percent between 1975 and 1985.3 Shrinking tax revenues throughout the country and outright taxpayer revolts in California and Massachusetts have curtailed growth in government. Police, like other public administrators, have become familiar with cutback management. For police in most large urban areas, this has meant hard choices. Services have had to be prioritized and some cut out altogether. Many departments across the country have adopted differential responses to requests for police services. The police now give highest priority to responding to violent crimes or inprogress calls for robbery, murder, sexual assault, assault with a deadly weapon, and burglary. Other calls such as cold Like other public administrators involved in the delivery of urban services, police confront problems of cutback management brought on by increasing demands and declining resources. One response has been greater publicprivate sector cooperation in securing and maintaining public safety. More money is now spent on private sector security systems than for all public law enforcement agencies. After reviewing this trend, the author considers the problems of accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness raised by increasing publicprivate sector cooperation. Strategies for managing publicprivate sector security systems are then assessed in view of the responsibility of government to ensure security and the reality that it cannot provide all protective services itself. | T12265: Gun Ownership and Violence Research | 33: Social Sciences | 3306: Health | 2: Social Sciences |

W2013919417 | <TITLE> Regret and Police Reporting Among Individuals Who Have Experienced Sexual Assault
<ABSTRACT> Sexual assault SA and the underreporting of SA are highly prevalent in the United States. Since regret is a complex, negative emotion linked to decision making, studying regret within the context of reporting SA is important.To describe decisional regret regarding SA reporting.A crosssectional, descriptive study design was used. The sample included 78 individuals, aged 18 to 25 years, who experienced SA during the past 5 years and completed an electronic questionnaire. A multiple regression model was generated to describe how selected independent variables explain variation in levels of regret.In the final model, four independent variables accounted for 33.3 adjusted R 2 of the variation in regret weight change, stranger assailant, professional treatment, and police reporting.The findings inform clinical practice by describing postdecisional regret about the reporting of SA, and they provide a foundation to develop strategies e.g., decision aids that can assist clinicians to help patients as they struggle to make difficult health care decisions. | T11548: Sexual Assault and Victimization Studies | 33: Social Sciences | 3318: Gender Studies | 2: Social Sciences |
W184407649 | <TITLE> Bicarbonate secretion in the murine gallbladderlessons for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.
<ABSTRACT> The epithelium lining the gallbladder of mammalian species has absorptive and secretory functions. An important function is the secretion of a bicarbonate rich fluid that helps neutralise stomach acid and provides an appropriate environment for intestinal enzymes. In cystic fibrosis CF this secretory function is lost. This study concerns the bicarbonate secreting activity of murine gallbladders in vitro using wild type and CF mice and four main questions are considered as follows a Does the murine gallbladder secrete bicarbonate electrogenically and is this prevented in CF? b Can the secretory activity in CF gallbladders be restored by gene therapy or pharmacologically? c How is the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator CFTR involved in bicarbonate secretion? d Does the data offer prospects for the treatment of CF?. Work from both the authors laboratory and the literature will be reviewed. Consideration of the currently available data indicates that the wild type murine gallbladder does secrete bicarbonate electrogenically and that this is absent in CF mice. Further it has been demonstrated that bicarbonate secretory activity can be restored by both gene therapy and by the use of drugs. The role of CFTR in bicarbonate secretion remains equivocal. Much evidence suggests that CFTR can act as a channel for HCO3 ions as well as Cl ions, while others propose a parallel arrangement of CFTR with a ClHCO3 exchanger is necessary. The matter is further complicated by the regulatory role of CFTR on other transporting activities.

W1554446171 | <TITLE> Twopore domain Ksupsup channels regulate membrane potential of isolated human articular chondrocytes
<ABSTRACT> Potassium channels that regulate resting membrane potential RMP of human articular chondrocytes HACs of the tibial joint maintained in shortterm 03 days nonconfluent cell culture were studied using patchclamp techniques. Quantitative PCR showed that transcripts of genes for twopore domain K channels KCNK1, KCNK5 and KCNK6, and BK Ca2activated K channels KCNMA1 were abundantly expressed. Immunocytological methods detected αsubunits for BK and K2p5.1 TASK2 K channels. Electrophysiological recordings identified three distinct K currents in isolated HACs i a voltage and timedependent delayed rectifier, blocked by 100 nM αdendrotoxin, ii a large noisy voltagedependent current that was blocked by low concentrations of tetraethylammonium TEA 50 blocking dose 0.15 mM and iberiotoxin 52 block, 100 nM and iii a voltageindependent background K current that was blocked by acidic pH 5.56, was increased by alkaline pH 8.5, and was not blocked by TEA, but was blocked by the local anaesthetic bupivacaine 0.25 mM. The RMP of isolated HACs was very slightly affected by 5 mM TEA, which was sufficient to block both voltagedependent K currents, suggesting that these currents probably contributed little to maintaining RMP under resting conditions i.e. low internal Ca2. Increases in external K concentration depolarized HACs by 30 mV in response to a 10fold increase in K, indicating a significant but not exclusive role for K current in determining RMP. Increases in external K in voltageclamped HACs revealed a voltageindependent K current whose inward current magnitude increased with external K. Block of this current by bupivacaine 0.251 mM in 5 and 25 mM external K resulted in a large 825 mV depolarization of RMP. The biophysical and pharmacological properties of the background K current, together with expression of mRNA and αsubunit protein for TASK2, strongly suggest that these twopore domain K channels contribute significantly to stabilizing the RMP of HACs. | T10493: Ion channel regulation and function | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1312: Molecular Biology | 1: Life Sciences |

W1606328537 | <TITLE> Simultaneous inhibition of glioma angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and invasion by a naturally occurring fragment of human metalloproteinase2.
<ABSTRACT> Angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation, and migration are the hallmarks of solid tumors, such as gliomas. This study demonstrates that a fragment derived from the autocatalytic digestion of matrix metalloproteinase MMP2, called PEX, acts simultaneously as an inhibitor of glioma angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and migration. PEX is detected in the cultured medium of various human glioma, endothelial, breast, and prostate carcinoma cell lines. PEX is purified from the medium of glioma cell lines by chromatography, where PEX is constitutively expressed as a free and a TIMP2bound form. In human glioma tissue, PEX expression correlates with histological subtype and grade and with alpha v beta 3 integrin expression to which it is bound. Systemic administration of PEX to s.c. and intracranial human glioma xenografts results in a 99 suppression of tumor growth with no signs of toxicity. Thus, PEX is a very promising candidate for the treatment of human malignant gliomas. | T10620: Protease and Inhibitor Mechanisms | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1306: Cancer Research | 1: Life Sciences |

W1992087953 | <TITLE> Translational control of cell fate From integration of environmental signals to breaching anticancer defense
<ABSTRACT> Despite their genetic diversity, different cancers manifest common features at the protein pathway level. They share a core group of perturbed pathways that converge upon a few regulatory hubs linking the cellular signaling network with the basic metabolic machinery. Available evidence indicates that one such hub is the eIF4Fmediated capdependent mRNA translation initiation apparatus, whose integrity is required for physiological control of growth, proliferation and viability. However, when hyperactivated by upstream oncogenic signaling, eIF4F selectively stimulates the translation of a group of mRNAs required for cancer genesis and progression. Here, we describe a model that links the proneoplastic function of eIF4F to its ability to disable oncogeneactivated tumor surveillance programs and propose a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer based upon targeting aberrant eIF4F with smallmolecule antagonists. | T10952: PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in cancer | 13: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology | 1312: Molecular Biology | 1: Life Sciences |
