Harmonic decomposition of three-particle azimuthal correlations at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review C, 2018)
We present measurements of three-particle correlations for various harmonics in Au+Au collisions at energies ranging from sNN=7.7√sNN=7.7 to 200 GeV using the STAR detector. The quantity 〈cos(mϕ1+nϕ2−(m+n)ϕ3)〉⟨cos(mϕ1+nϕ2−(m+n)ϕ3)⟩, with ϕϕ being the azimuthal angles of the particles is evaluated as a function of sNN√sNN, collision centrality, transverse momentum, pTpT, pseudorapidity difference, ΔηΔη, and harmonics (mm and nn). These data provide detailed information on global event properties such as the three-dimensional structure of the initial overlap region, the expansion dynamics of the matter produced in the collisions, and the transport properties of the medium. A strong dependence on ΔηΔη is observed for most harmonic combinations, which is consistent with breaking of longitudinal boost invariance. An interesting energy dependence is observed when one of the harmonics m,n,m,n, or m+nm+n is equal to two, for which the correlators are dominated by the two-particle correlations relative to the second-harmonic event plane. These measurements can be used to constrain models of heavy-ion collisions over a wide range of temperature and baryon chemical potential.

Studying homeless and incarcerated persons: A comparative account of doing field research with hard-to-reach populations - Umamaheswar, Janani (Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung, 2018)
In this article, I discuss the process of conducting research with two vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations (homeless and incarcerated men) in three research locations characterized by varying levels of gatekeeping: a prison, public streets in an urban city, and a residential facility for homeless men. I argue that, despite the obstacles to independent research that gatekeepers (officials who can grant or deny researchers access to participants) pose, research with vulnerable, hard-to-reach populations in different field sites reveals some of the benefits of using field sites characterized by gatekeeping and strict rules to which researchers must adhere. Many of these benefits, however, go unacknowledged in discussions of access in qualitative studies—especially in the penological literature. I conclude that, instead of shying away from qualitative prison studies, researchers should take advantage of the benefits that prisons offer as field sites.

Mining for Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) in Sexual Minority Women Who Survive Intimate Partner Violence: A Conceptual Perspective. - Counselman-Carpenter, Elisabeth; Redcay, Alex (Behavioral Sciences, 2018)
This theoretical paper explores the need to use posttraumatic growth (PTG) as a framework when studying sexual minority women (SMW) who are survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) to examine the relationship between risk factors such as stress, anxiety and alcohol use and to understand the role of protective factors through mining for the presence of posttraumatic growth (PTG). Despite a call for continued research in this highly vulnerable population, representative studies of SMW and PTG remain extremely limited. Research that examines the relationship between IPV, behavioral health issues, and posttraumatic growth would provide the opportunity to develop tailored intervention models and opportunities for program development to decrease isolation and increase factors of posttraumatic growth. In particular, the impact of how interpersonal relationships as potential mediators and/or outcomes of posttraumatic growth (PTG) needs to be explored more thoroughly. PTG is a valuable framework for vulnerable populations such as sexual minority women because it focuses on how transformative change may result from traumatic experiences such as surviving IPV.

Beam energy dependence of rapidity-even dipolar flow in Au+Au collisions - STAR Collaboration (Physics Letters B, 2018)
New measurements of directed flow for charged hadrons, characterized by the Fourier coefficient v1, are presented for transverse momenta pT, and centrality intervals in Au+Au collisions recorded by the STAR experiment for the center-of-mass energy range sNN=7.7–200 GeV. The measurements underscore the importance of momentum conservation, and the characteristic dependencies on sNN, centrality and pT are consistent with the expectations of geometric fluctuations generated in the initial stages of the collision, acting in concert with a hydrodynamic-like expansion. The centrality and pT dependencies of v1even, as well as an observed similarity between its excitation function and that for v3, could serve as constraints for initial-state models. The v1even excitation function could also provide an important supplement to the flow measurements employed for precision extraction of the temperature dependence of the specific shear viscosity.

Longitudinal double-spin asymmetries for π0 s in the forward direction for 510 GeV polarized pp collisions - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review D, 2018)
The STAR Collaboration reports measurements of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry, ALL, for neutral pions produced at forward directions in polarized proton-proton collisions, at a center-of-mass energy of 510 GeV. Results are given for transverse momenta in the range 2<pT<10 GeV/c within two regions of pseudorapidity that span 2.65<η<3.9. These results are sensitive to the polarized gluon parton distribution function, Δg(x), down to the region of Bjorken x∼10−3. The asymmetries observed are less than ±5×10−3 in magnitude and will help constrain the contribution to the spin of the proton from polarized gluons at low x, when combined with other measurements as part of a global analysis.

Longitudinal double-spin asymmetries for dijet production at intermediate pseudorapidity in polarized pp collisions at √ s = 200 GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review D, 2018)
We present the first measurements of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry ALL for dijets with at least one jet reconstructed within the pseudorapidity range 0.8<η<1.8. The dijets were measured in polarized pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=200 GeV. Values for ALL are determined for several distinct event topologies, defined by the jet pseudorapidities, and span a range of parton momentum fraction x down to x∼0.01. The measured asymmetries are found to be consistent with the predictions of global analyses that incorporate the results of previous RHIC measurements. They will provide new constraints on Δg(x) in this poorly constrained region when included in future global analyses. © 2018 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.

The divine sublime: Educating spiritual teachers in Emerson’s divinity school address - Blackmer, Corinne E. (Approaches to Teaching the Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, 2018)
A leader of the transcendentalist movement and one of the country's first public intellectuals, Ralph Waldo Emerson has been a long-standing presence in American literature courses. Today he is remembered for his essays, but in the nineteenth century he was also known as a poet and orator who engaged with issues such as religion, nature, education, and abolition.This volume presents strategies for placing Emerson in the context of his time, for illuminating his rhetorical techniques, and for tracing his influence into the present day and around the world. Part 1, "Materials," offers guidance for selecting classroom editions and information on Emerson's life, contexts, and reception. Part 2, "Approaches," provides suggestions for teaching Emerson's works in a variety of courses, not only literature but also creative writing, religion, digital humanities, media studies, and environmental studies. The essays in this section address Emerson's most frequently anthologized works, such as Nature and "Self-Reliance," along with other texts including sermons, lectures, journals, and poems.

Coffee with co-workers: role of caffeine on evaluations of the self and others in group settings - Unnava, Vasu; Singh, Amit Surendra; Unnava, H Rao (Journal of Psychopharmacology, 2018)
This research explores the effect of consuming a moderate amount of commercially available caffeinated coffee on an individual’s self-evaluated participation in a group activity and subsequent evaluations of the experience. Across two studies, results show that consuming a moderate amount of caffeinated coffee prior to indulging in a group activity enhances an individual’s task-relevant participation in the group activity. In addition, subjective evaluations of the participation of other group members and oneself are also positively influenced. Finally, the positive impact of consuming a moderate amount of caffeinated coffee on the evaluation of participation of other group members and oneself is moderated by a sense of an increased level of alertness.

Correlation measurements between flow harmonics in Au+Au collisions at RHIC - STAR Collaboration (Physics Letters B, 2018)
Flow harmonics (vn) in the Fourier expansion of the azimuthal distribution of particles are widely used to quantify the anisotropy in particle emission in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The symmetric cumulants, SC(m,n), are used to measure the correlations between different orders of flow harmonics. These correlations are used to constrain the initial conditions and the transport properties of the medium in theoretical models. In this Letter, we present the first measurements of the four-particle symmetric cumulants in Au+Au collisions at sNN=39 and 200 GeV from data collected by the STAR experiment at RHIC. We observe that v2 and v3 are anti-correlated in all centrality intervals with similar correlation strengths from 39 GeV Au+Au to 2.76 TeV Pb+Pb (measured by the ALICE experiment). The v2–v4 correlation seems to be stronger at 39 GeV than at higher collision energies. The initial-stage anti-correlations between second and third order eccentricities are sufficient to describe the measured correlations between v2 and v3. The best description of v2–v4 correlations at sNN=200GeV is obtained with inclusion of the system's nonlinear response to initial eccentricities accompanied by the viscous effect with η/s¿0.08. Theoretical calculations using different initial conditions, equations of state and viscous coefficients need to be further explored to extract η/s of the medium created at RHIC.

Preparing perform and impact ready school leaders for improving urban school success - Yavuz, Olcay; Gülmez, Gülçin (Research in Educational Administration & Leadership, 2018)
In an effort to develop and support high quality urban school leaders, this study examined what factors affect pre-service urban school leaders’ perception of preparedness for performing instructional leadership activities. The findings revealed that participating in a leadership training program is the only significant factor that predicts urban educators’ scores on instructional leadership readiness measures. By examining perception of preparedness of aspiring urban school leaders the findings contribute to our understanding about some perspectives to prepare and develop urban school leaders solve large and complex problems related to the curriculum, instruction and assessment. Implications for preparing performance ready school leaders in high need urban schools are further discussed. © Official Publication of EARDA-Turkish Educational Administration Research and Development Association.

Beam energy dependence of jet-quenching effects in Au+Au collisions at √(sNN)= 7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, and 62.4 GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review Letters, 2018)
We report measurements of the nuclear modification factor RCP for charged hadrons as well as identified π+(−), K+(−), and p(¯p) for Au+Au collision energies of √sNN=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, and 62.4 GeV. We observe a clear high-pT net suppression in central collisions at 62.4 GeV for charged hadrons which evolves smoothly to a large net enhancement at lower energies. This trend is driven by the evolution of the pion spectra but is also very similar for the kaon spectra. While the magnitude of the proton RCP at high pT does depend on the collision energy, neither the proton nor the antiproton RCP at high pT exhibit net suppression at any energy. A study of how the binary collision-scaled high-pT yield evolves with centrality reveals a nonmonotonic shape that is consistent with the idea that jet quenching is increasing faster than the combined phenomena that lead to enhancement.

Wide-field speckle techniques for small, urban telescopes - Granucci, Nicole M.; Horch, Elliott P. (Optical and Infrared Interferometry and Imaging VI, 2018)
Recent work with the NESSI speckle camera at Kitt Peak and the 'Alopeke speckle camera at Gemini-North indicates that speckle data reduction techniques can be successfully modified to produce high-resolution images over fields that are at least tens of arc seconds across. While these wide-field speckle image reconstructions are not diffraction-limited, the improvement in resolution over the seeing-limited case can be substantial. In this paper, we explore the application of these techniques to data taken with a small (0.6-m) telescope in an urban environment. Many telescopes located in urban communities, such as New Haven, Connecticut, where Southern Connecticut State University resides, have limited use scientifically due to substantial light pollution, poor seeing, poor telescope tracking, and other issues. We will present initial data using our set-up and discuss the potential for this approach for improving the imaging capabilities of small telescopes on our campus and beyond.

Prospects for wireless optical intensity interferometry with the Southern Connecticut stellar interferometer - Horch, Elliott P.; Weiss, Samuel A.; Rupert, Justin D.; LaRue, Ryan; Peronio, Pietro; Rech, Ivan; Gulinatti, Angelo (Optical and Infrared Interferometry and Imaging VI, 2018)
The Southern Connecticut Stellar Interferometer (SCSI) is a two-telescope astronomical intensity interferometer that was completed in June 2016 and has been taking photon correlation data since that time. It uses single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detectors at the telescope focal plane and a central timing module, which records the signals from both telescopes simultaneously. In the observations taken to date, single-pixel SPADs have been connected to signal cables that stretch from each telescope to the timing module. However, we are now in the process of making the instrument “wireless” by using a separate timing module at each telescope and synchronizing the signals recorded using GPS timing cards. We have also upgraded one of the two stations with an 8-pixel SPAD device, which allows us to achieve higher count rates in a variety of observing conditions. In this paper, we report on the current state of the instrument, including engineering tests made in preparation for wireless operation, and we discuss the expected capabilities in that mode.

Stellar photon correlation detection with the Southern Connecticut stellar interferometer - Weiss, Samuel A.; Rupert, Justin D.; Horch, Elliott P. (Optical and Infrared Interferometry and Imaging VI, 2018)
The Southern Connecticut Stellar Interferometer (SCSI) is a portable optical intensity interferometer located on the campus of Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, Connecticut. Since its completion in 2016, the instrument has been used to take engineering data of bright stars. This paper will discuss the data collection and analysis methods, as well as the progress toward reliably measuring a significant stellar photon correlation. Vega has been the main star chosen for test observations to date because its diameter is well known by other methods, and it is not an extended source for the baselines used. The correlation peak in the processed data is compared to theoretical expectations. Given our expected sensitivity, a significant correlation peak is expected for small baselines (~2 m) to appear after a few hours of observation. So far, the observations indicate that the correlation peak is at the expected time delay, and the signal-to-noise ratio roughly scales as predicted.

Zodiacal Exoplanets in Time (ZEIT). VII. A temperate candidate Super-Earth in the Hyades Cluster - Vanderburg, Andrew; Mann, Andrew W.; Rizzuto, Aaron; Bieryla, Allyson; Kraus, Adam L.; Berlind, Perry; Calkins, Michael L.; Curtis, Jason L.; Douglas, Stephanie T.; Esquerdo, Gilbert A.; Everett, Mark E.; Horch, Elliott P.; et al. (The Astronomical Journal, 2018)
Transiting exoplanets in young open clusters present opportunities to study how exoplanets evolve over their lifetimes. Recently, significant progress detecting transiting planets in young open clusters has been made with the K2 mission, but so far all of these transiting cluster planets orbit close to their host stars, so planet evolution can only be studied in a high-irradiation regime. Here, we report the discovery of a long-period planet candidate, called HD 283869 b, orbiting a member of the Hyades cluster. Using data from the K2 mission, we detected a single transit of a super-Earth-sized (1.96 0.12 R ⊕) planet candidate orbiting the K-dwarf HD 283869 with a period longer than 72 days. As we only detected a single-transit event, we cannot validate HD 283869 b with high confidence, but our analysis of the K2 images, archival data, and follow-up observations suggests that the source of the event is indeed a transiting planet. We estimated the candidate's orbital parameters and find that if real, it has a period P ≈ 100 days and receives approximately Earth-like incident flux, giving the candidate a 71% chance of falling within the circumstellar habitable zone. If confirmed, HD 283869 b would have the longest orbital period, lowest incident flux, and brightest host star of any known transiting planet in an open cluster, making it uniquely important to future studies of how stellar irradiation affects planetary evolution. © 2018.

Using case study methodology to explore the role of discrimination in workplace incivility - Green, Cheryl (Journal of National Black Nurses' Association: JNBNA, 2018)
Exclusionary behaviors can be detrimental to the health and well-being of faculty in the workplace. When colleagues are judged by their peers because of the color of their skin, the language they speak, their gender, or who they choose to love (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, or questioning), affected faculty are left emotionally and physically vulnerable. Institutions of higher learning must set standards of zero tolerance for faculty-to-faculty incivility. With standards taken from each faculty discipline, codes of conduct can be implemented not only at a departmental level, but also throughout the educational system.

Stellar companions of exoplanet host stars in K2 - Matson, Rachel A.; Howell, Steve B.; Horch, Elliott P.; Everett, Mark E. (The Astronomical Journal, 2018)
It is well established that roughly half of all nearby solar-type stars have at least one companion. Stellar companions can have significant implications for the detection and characterization of exoplanets, including triggering false positives and masking the true radii of planets. Determining the fraction of exoplanet host stars that are also binaries allows us to better determine planetary characteristics as well as establish the relationship between binarity and planet formation. Using high angular resolution speckle imaging, we detect stellar companions within ∼1 arcsec of K2 planet-candidate host stars. Comparing our detected companion rate to TRILEGAL star count simulations and known detection limits of speckle imaging, we estimate the binary fraction of K2 planet host stars to be 40%-50%, similar to that of Kepler exoplanet hosts and field stars. © 2018.

Reading curriculum in the age of spectacle: Reclaiming experience and dialogue in reading - Sinclair, Meredith N. (Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, 2018)
Using Fahrenheit 451 as a model for reading in the age of spectacle, this paper offers a critique of reading curriculum driven by Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects (CCSS-ELA), which divorces reading from dialogue and lived experience. Drawing on Debord’s (1967/1983) notion of spectacle, the author considers how our current cultural moment may be shaping and shaped by an alienated and alienating curriculum of reading. By embracing the political implications of reading curriculum, we can reclaim reading as a dialogic activity grounded in the world.

The provision of mobile services in US urban libraries - Guo, Ya Jun; Liu, Yan Quan; Bielefield, Arlene (Information Technology and Libraries, 2018)
To determine the present situation regarding services provided to mobile users in US urban libraries, the authors surveyed 138 Urban Libraries Council members utilizing a combination of mobile visits, content analysis, and librarian interviews. The results show that nearly 95% of these libraries have at least one mobile website, mobile catalog, or mobile app. The libraries actively applied new approaches to meet each local community’s remote-access needs via new technologies, including app download links, mobile reference services, scan ISBN, location navigation, and mobile printing. Mobile services that libraries provide today are timely, convenient, and universally applicable.

School leadership training: Are we preparing future talent managers? - Yavuz, Olcay; Madonia, Peter; Abolafia, Victoria M. (Uluslararası Liderlik Eğitimi Dergisi, 2018)
Effective leadrship talent management practices are important components of successful organizations. This correlational quantitative study is designed to inform educational leadership training programs in their work to revise their curricula and to utilize the candidates’ perception data to ensure successful program delivery and outcomes. Particularly, the findings of this study aim to inform educational leadership preparation practices on developing talent managers who can recruit, hire, retain, and support the most talented and high qualified teachers, as well as support staff available in the education job market. Results indicate that after completing the first year of educational leadership training only around half of the aspiring school leaders felt performance or impact ready to serve as talent managers, in order to select and develop highly qualified educators to increase the success of all students. The findings also suggest the importance of understanding how various factors predict an individual’s perception of preparedness to perform talent management leadership activities. Therefore, the study results may serve to enrich conversations of educational leadership training programs, guide program evaluation efforts, and help ensure candidates in educational leadership programs are exposed to talent management and strategies in their coursework. This may help future school leaders clearly and purposefully apply their knowledge and skills.

Personality, Well-Being, and Cognitive-Affective Styles: A Cross-Sectional Study of Adult Third Culture Kids - Abe, Jo Ann A. (Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2018)
Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and their adult counterparts (ATCKs) refer to individuals who spent part of their developmental years abroad and are an important demographic to study in this rapidly globalizing world. To date, the bulk of the research on (A)TCKs has been descriptive and little is known about their developmental trajectories in adulthood. The major objective of this study was to examine the personality traits, dimensions of well-being, and cognitive-affective styles of ATCKs across the adult life span using well-validated psychological measures. A subsidiary goal was to develop a new multidimensional international experiences scale to assess levels of multicultural engagement in ATCKs. The participants in this study (N = 700+; age = 18-80+) were recruited from the Alumni Office of an international school in Japan. Somewhat contrary to how they are often depicted in the news media and in qualitative studies, the ATCKs showed normative changes in personality and well-being in the direction of greater maturity and adjustment during adulthood, with those reporting higher levels of multicultural engagement generally exhibiting a more resilient personality profile, higher levels of well-being, and more adaptive cognitive and affective styles.

Complimentary Care: When Our Patients Request to Pray. - Green, Cheryl Ann (Journal of Religion and Health, 2018)
Prayer is viewed in modern medicine as a complimentary alternative treatment. However, to many patients, it is a source of hope and comfort. Patients, when facing illness, advanced disease, disability or death, can benefit from prayer. For healthcare providers, comfort with praying with patients can be deemed as unprofessional conduct or blurred therapeutic boundaries, particularly, when prayer is offered to patients' unsolicited by the patient or their family member(s). Therefore, it is imperative that healthcare providers await the request of prayer by the patient before prayer is initiated.

Kinship ties and employee theft perceptions in family-owned businesses - O'Brien, Kimberly E; Minjock, Robert; Colarelli, Stephen M; Yang, Chulguen (European Management Journal, 2018)
Family business research typically views family firms using the frameworks developed for non-family businesses (e.g., agency theory, institutional theory). Thus, using an evolutionary perspective on family may help address gaps in the family business literature, particularly regarding deviance. In the current study, we use kin selection theory to predict that family members receive preferential treatment and this history of privileges can create entitlement and lead genetically-related employees to misuse company resources. Using an experimental vignette methodology and data from 161 people recruited from an online panel, we found that the participants' purported genetic relatedness to the owner of a business increased their theft intentions and decreased their expected severity of sanctions and likelihood of being reported. Biological sex moderated the relationships between genetic relatedness and theft intentions, as well as between expectations of punishment and theft intentions. Specifically, when females expected higher severity of sanctions or likelihood of whistleblowing, they were less likely to report theft intentions, compared to males. The results of this study suggest that family business owners should protect against theft by all employees, including genetic relatives. Future research using field samples would help provide context for these findings. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Barriers and facilitators to mental health screening efforts for families in pediatric primary care - Acri, Mary; Zhang, Shirley; Chomanczuk, Aminda H.; O’Brien, Kyle H; De Zitella, Maria L. Mini; Scrofani, Paige R.; Velez, Laura; Garay, Elene; Sezer, Sara; Little, Virna; Cleek, Andrew; McKay, Mary M (Journal of Family Social Work, 2018)
The purpose of this commentary was to describe the barriers and facilitators to mental health screening efforts for children between age 5 and 18 years within three primary care clinics in poverty-impacted communities as part of an integrated care model. Three screeners, two women and one male, participated in a screening effort between September and December 2015. Screeners were interviewed about their perceptions of barriers and facilitators to screening. Organizational, family, and screener-level factors were found to influence delivery of screenings to children. Given the benefits of screening in primary care settings, identifying barriers to these initiatives and ways to address them pre-emptively could potentially alter the developmental trajectory and outcomes of children at risk for serious mental health conditions. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis.

A spectroscopic survey of field red horizontal-branch stars - Afşar, Melike; Bozkurt, Zeynep; Topcu, Gamze Böcek; Casetti-Dinescu, Dana I.; Sneden, Christopher; Şehitog̅lu, Gizem (The Astronomical Journal, 2018)
A metallicity, chemical composition, and kinematic survey has been conducted for a sample of 340 candidate field red horizontal-branch (RHB) stars. Spectra with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio were gathered with the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m Tull and the Hobby-Eberly Telescope echelle spectrographs, and were used to determine effective temperatures, surface gravities, microturbulent velocities, [Fe/H] metallicities, and abundance ratios [X/Fe] for seven α and Fe-group species. The derived temperatures and gravities confirm that at least half of the candidates are true RHB stars, with (average) parameters T eff ∼ 5000 K and log g ∼ 2.5. From the α abundances alone, the thin and thick Galactic populations are apparent in our sample. Space motions for 90% of the program stars were computed from Hipparcos and Gaia parallaxes and proper motions. Correlations between chemical compositions and Galactic kinematics clearly indicate the existence of both thin-disk and thick-disk RHB stars. © 2018. The American Astronomical Society.

Speckle interferometry at SOAR in 2016 and 2017 - Tokovinin, Andrei; Mason, Brian D.; Hartkopf, William I.; Mendez, Rene A.; Horch, Elliott P. (The Astronomical Journal, 2018)
The results of speckle interferometric observations at the 4.1 m Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope in 2016 and 2017 are given, totaling 2483 measurements of 1570 resolved pairs and 609 non-resolutions. We describe briefly recent changes in the instrument and observing method and quantify the accuracy of the pixel scale and position angle calibration. Comments are given on 44 pairs resolved here for the first time. The orbital motion of the newly resolved subsystem BU 83 Aa,Ab roughly agrees with its 36-year astrometric orbit proposed by J. Dommanget. Most Tycho binaries examined here turned out to be spurious. © 2018. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved..

Microplastic abundances in a mussel bed and ingestion by the ribbed marsh mussel Geukensia demissa. - Khan, Matthew B; Prezant, Robert S (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018)
Human activities have generated large quantities of microplastics that can be consumed by filter-feeding organisms as potential food sources. As a result, organisms may experience marked reductions in growth and/or health. To date there has been no investigations connecting microplastics (MPs) with the critically important ribbed mussel Geukensia demissa. Here we examined MP abundances within a bed of G. demissa in New Jersey. Results indicate that MP densities ranged between 11,000-50,000pieces/m2. The abundance of larger MPs (5mm>=1mm) did not vary among sampling sites while the smaller MPs (<1mm) abundances did vary between sampling sites. These smaller MPs also accounted for 79% of MPs recovered from these sites. Based on the higher abundance of smaller MPs, we also investigated MP ingestion/rejection in a laboratory setting. These results confirmed that ribbed mussels can ingest MPs with negative consequences for the buoyancy of plastics rejected in feces and pseudofeces. Copyright © 2018 The Authors.

Transverse spin-dependent azimuthal correlations of charged pion pairs measured in p↑ + p collisions at √s=500 GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physics Letters B, 2018)
The transversity distribution, which describes transversely polarized quarks in transversely polarized nucleons, is a fundamental component of the spin structure of the nucleon, and is only loosely constrained by global fits to existing semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data. In transversely polarized p↑+p collisions it can be accessed using transverse polarization dependent fragmentation functions which give rise to azimuthal correlations between the polarization of the struck parton and the final state scalar mesons. This letter reports on spin dependent di-hadron correlations measured by the STAR experiment. The new dataset corresponds to 25 pb−1 integrated luminosity of p↑+p collisions at s=500 GeV, an increase of more than a factor of ten compared to our previous measurement at s=200 GeV. Non-zero asymmetries sensitive to transversity are observed at a Q2 of several hundred GeV and are found to be consistent with the former measurement and a model calculation. We expect that these data will enable an extraction of transversity with comparable precision to current SIDIS datasets but at much higher momentum transfers where subleading effects are suppressed. © 2018 The Author(s)

Measurement of the ³H lifetime in Au+Au collisions at the BNL relativistic heavy ion collider - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review C, 2018)
An improved measurement of the HΛ3 lifetime is presented. In this paper, the mesonic decay modes HΛ3→He3 + π- and HΛ3→d+p+π- are used to reconstruct the HΛ3 from Au+Au collision data collected by the STAR collaboration at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). A minimum χ2 estimation is used to determine the lifetime of τ=142-21+24(stat.)±29(syst.) ps. This lifetime is about 50% shorter than the lifetime τ=263±2 ps of a free Λ, indicating strong hyperon-nucleon interaction in the hypernucleus system. The branching ratios of the mesonic decay channels are also determined to satisfy B.R.(He3+π-)/(B.R.(He3+π-)+B.R.(d+p+π-))=0.32±0.05(stat.)±0.08(syst.). Our ratio result favors the assignment J(HΛ3)=12 over J(HΛ3)=32. These measurements will help to constrain models of hyperon-baryon interactions. © 2018 American Physical Society.

From Values to Passion to Enlivened Practice: A Palette of Possibilities - Keenan, Elizabeth (Reflections: Narratives of Professional Helping, 2018)
This narrative offers a palette of possibilities for linking micro and macro practices that arose from interviews with social workers who were viewed as addressing the profession’s dual purpose of individual well-being and social justice in their practice. I begin with my own experiences and desires to link micro and macro together as a clinical social worker and community organizer. An interlude describing the way the social workers stretched my thinking comes in between the themes. I conclude with a final reflection on the impact of their stories and implications for future research and practice.

Fluid boundaries in 'The Awntyrs off Arthure' and 'Sir Isumbras' - Richmond, Andrew (Open Library of Humanities, 2018)
Encounters with water shape the Middle English romances of The Awntyrs off Arthure and Sir Isumbras. In the latter, rivers and the 'Greek Sea' serve to distinguish separate sections of the narrative: the river marks the point at which the titular hero's family unit begins to break down, while the beach of the sea marks the lowest point of his social power. Yet his later traversal of the Greek Sea itself allows him to reassemble his family and reclaim his aristocratic power. In Awntyrs, the Tarn Wathelene (or Wadling) ties the actions of the romance's first episode onto a specific spot in the real-world English landscape, while connecting the text to a number of other Arthurian romances that also mention or take place near the tarn. This article, then, argues that the waterscapes in these two texts illustrate a late-medieval understanding of tarns, rivers, and seas as explicitly alien, yet intimately physical embodiments of divine power in the natural world. Taken together, these poems-one a metrical romance, the other alliterative-show how interests in waterscapes crossed boundaries within the muddy genre of romance itself, and reveal that water upsets such human categories as family and property. Tarns, rivers, and seas turn human bodies, instead, into their possessions; the disturbing experience of that dehumanizing process should, these texts imply, wear the world, its history, and its bonds away, until even the greatest knights or ladies are left alone with watery forms beyond the pale of human understanding. © 2018 The Author(s).

Visible resonance Raman spectroscopy detect key molecular biomarker vibrations to characterize for human brain gliomas - Zhou, Yan; Liu, Cheng-hui; Wu, Binlin; Yu, Xinguang; Gangge Cheng; Zhang, Chunyuan; Chen, Hong; Li, Shenglin; Zong, Rui; Liang, Qijun; Zhang, Ce; Zhang, Mingqian; et al. (Biomedical Imaging and Sensing Conference, 2018)
Visible resonant Raman (VRR) spectroscopy provides an effective way to enhance Raman signal from particular bonds associated with key molecules due to changes on molecular level. This paper reports on the VRR use for detection of human brain the control and gliomas of three grades. From the RR spectra additional two molecular vibrational biomarkers at 1129cm^-1 and 1338cm^-1, for the four types of brain tissues are significantly different in intensity. The new RR spectral peaks can be used as molecular biomarkers to evaluate glioma grades and identify the margin of gliomas from the controls. The metabolic process of glioma cells based on the RR spectral changes may reveal the Warburg hypothesis.

Evaluating accelerometry thresholds for detecting changes in levels of moderate physical activity and resulting major mobility disability - Rejeski, W. Jack; Walkup, Michael P.; Fielding, Roger A.; King, Abby C.; Manini, Todd M.; Marsh, Anthony P.; McDermott, Mary McGrae; Miller, Emily Y; Newman, Anne B.; Tudor-Locke, Catrine; Axtell, Robert S.; Miller, Michael E. (Journals of Gerontology Series A-biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2018)
Background: An important decision with accelerometry is the threshold in counts per minute (CPM) used to define moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). We explore the ability of different thresholds to track changes in MVPA due to a physical activity (PA) intervention among older adults with compromised function: 760 CPM, 1,041 CPM, and an individualized threshold. We also evaluate the ability of change in accelerometry and self-reported PA to attenuate treatment effects on major mobility disability (MMD). Methods: Data from a week of hip worn accelerometers and self-reported PA data (30-day recall) were examined from baseline, 6-, 12-, and 24-months of follow-up on 1,528 older adults. Participants were randomized to either PA or Health Education (HE). MMD was objectively defined by loss of ability to walk 400 m during the follow-up. Results: The three thresholds yielded similar and higher levels of MVPA for PA than HE (p ¡ .001), however, this difference was significantly attenuated in participants with lower levels of physical function. Self-reported PA that captured both walking and strength training totally attenuated the intervention effect for MMD, an 18% reduction to a 3% increase. Accelerometer CPMs showed less attenuation of the intervention effect. Conclusions: Accelerometry assessment within the LIFE study was not sensitive to change in level in physical activity for older adults with very low levels of physical function. A combination of self-report and objective measures are recommended for use in physical activity intervention studies of the elderly; limitations of accelerometry deserve closer attention.

Pay openness movement: Is it merited? Does it influence more desirable employee outcomes than pay secrecy? - Marasi, Shelly; Wall, Alison; Bennett, Rebecca J. (Organization Management Journal, 2018)
Organizations are currently moving toward increased pay openness in the workplace; thus, it is important to determine the influence pay communication practices (pay secrecy and pay openness) have on employee outcomes and whether the increase in pay openness is merited and more beneficial for organizations. The purpose of this article is to analyze pay communication’s influence on workplace deviance and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). Specifically, pay secrecy practices are hypothesized to influence employees to engage in less OCBs and more workplace deviance. Informational justice and distributive justice perceptions are included as mediators. Pay secrecy leads to greater workplace deviance as well as less OCBs and justice perceptions and thus, inferring the pay openness movement is merited. A Pay Communication scale was developed and validated for this study. Practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are provided. © 2018 Eastern Academy of Management.

Intersectional experiences of discrimination in a low-resource urban community: An exploratory latent class analysis - Earnshaw, Valerie A.; Rosenthal, Lisa; Gilstad-Hayden, Kathryn; Carroll-Scott, Amy; Kershaw, Trace S.; Santilli, Alycia; Ickovics, Jeannette R. (Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology, 2018)
There have been increasing calls for the application of an intersectionality framework to understand and address discrimination and health inequities among diverse communities. Yet there have been theoretical debates regarding to whom intersectionality applies and how intersectional experiences of discrimination are associated with health outcomes. The current study aimed to contribute to these theoretical debates and inform practical applications to reduce health inequities. Data were drawn from a community health survey in New Haven, CT (N=1,293 adults) and analysed using latent class analysis. Results yielded 4 classes. Members of the 4 classes were similar sociodemographically. Three classes of participants reported experiencing discrimination, and members of these classes had greater stress, higher rates of smoking and sleep disruption, and worse overall health than members of the class reporting no discrimination. Members of 2 classes made multiple, or intersectional, attributions for discrimination, and members of these classes reported the most frequent discrimination. Findings suggest that community members who are sociodemographically similar may have diverse discrimination experiences. Multilevel interventions that address multiple forms of discrimination (e.g., racism and sexism) may hold promise for reducing discrimination and, ultimately, health inequities within low-resource urban community settings.

The Effects of Length of Residence and Exposure to Violence on Perceptions of Neighborhood Safety in an Urban Sample. - Guo, Monica; O'Connor Duffany, Kathleen; Shebl, Fatma M; Santilli, Alycia; Keene, Danya E (Journal of Urban Health, 2018)
Perceptions of neighborhood safety shape the well-being of individuals and communities, affecting neighborhood walkability, associated physical activity behaviors, and health conditions. However, less is known about the factors that determine perceptions of safety. One factor that may affect perceptions of neighborhood safety is the length of time someone has lived in their neighborhood. We use a representative, adult sample of urban low-income residents from the 2015 New Haven Health Survey (n = 1189) to investigate the associations between length of residence (new residents of < 1 year in neighborhood versus longer-term residents of 1 or more years in neighborhood) and perceptions of neighborhood safety (whether feeling unsafe to walk at night). We then examine the potential moderating effect of exposure to neighborhood violence on these associations. We find that the association between length of residence and perceived safety differs by exposure to neighborhood violence. Among those unexposed to neighborhood violence, longer-term neighborhood residents were more likely to feel unsafe compared to new residents (OR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.19, 3.45). Additionally, the effect of exposure to violence on feelings of safety was larger for new residents (OR = 9.10, 95% CI 2.72, 30.44) compared to longer-term residents (OR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.28, 2.77). Our findings suggest that length of residence may have implications for feelings of safety, and that experiences of violence may uniquely contribute to feelings of unsafety among new residents. These findings hold implications for interventions and policy efforts aimed at neighborhood safety improvements through community development, housing, or city urban planning initiatives, particularly for new neighborhood residents or those who experience neighborhood violence.

Rating of perceived exertion is a stable and appropriate measure of workload in judo. - Bromley, Sally J; Drew, Michael K; McIntosh, Andrew; Talpey, Scott (Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: Heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration [La] and/or rating of perceived exertion (RPE) have been utilised to monitor judo training load in technical and randori (competition training) sessions, but are yet to be investigated in mixed sessions containing both elements. Therefore the purpose of this study was to: (1) determine the stability of these variables, and (2) to assess the efficacy of RPE as a load variable for mixed judo sessions., DESIGN: Cross-sectional study., METHODS: Twenty-nine athletes attended two mixed training sessions at an international training camp. Bout and session characteristics, including RPE, physical and mental effort, heart rate (HR) and post-session [La] were recorded. A two-way random-effects intra-class correlation assessed variable stability. Multilevel mixed-effects ordered logistic regression investigated relationships between RPE and other variables for bouts and sessions., RESULTS: Average and minimum HR across sessions correlated highly (ICC=0.95 and 0.94, respectively). Good correlations existed between [La], session-RPE and mental effort, and fair correlation of max HR and physical effort. No relationships existed between [La]/HR and session-RPE. A unit increase in bout-RPE resulted in a 2.09 unit increase in physical, or a 1.36 unit increase in mental, effort holding all other bout variables constant. Gender and competitive level did not influence statistical models., CONCLUSIONS: Results provide further evidence that RPE can be used across a range of competitive levels and genders to monitor workload of mixed sessions and individual randori in judo. Physical effort may play a larger role than mental effort when athletes reflect on exertion during training. Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Undergraduate organic experiment: Tetrazole formation by microwave heated (3 + 2) cycloaddition in aqueous solution - DeFrancesco, Heather; Dudley, Joshua; Coca, Adiel (Journal of Chemical Education, 2018)
An undergraduate experiment for the organic laboratory is described that utilizes microwave heating to prepare 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole derivatives through a (3 + 2) cycloaddition between aryl nitriles and sodium azide. The reaction mixture is analyzed by thin layer chromatography. The products are purified through an acid–base extraction and recrystallization. Characterization is accomplished using melting point, infrared, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Students are tasked with determining and confirming the structure of their product based on their assigned nitrile and characterization data.

The human factor: Classification of European community-based behaviour change initiatives - Axon, Stephen; Morrissey, John; Aiesha, Rosita; Hillman, Joanne; Revez, Alexandra; Lennon, Breffní; Salel, Mathieu; Dunphy, Niall; Boo, Eva (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018)
Behaviour, practices and culture constitute a powerful human factor in the energy system; in particular the interactions between technologies, practices and norms lock individuals in to certain patterns of (often inefficient) energy use. Consequently, behaviour change has gained traction amongst policy makers as a key area of intervention given the impact energy-related behaviours have on climate change. Given the increasing emphasis within policy perspectives in the European Union, it is surprising that a gap in understanding of the success factors of behaviour change initiatives remains. This paper addresses this gap by identifying and characterising behaviour change initiatives across five European countries (the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, and Spain). The paper provides insights into the success factors and commonly encountered barriers to behaviour change initiatives. Initiatives are classified into 6 broad categories (community-based interventions; information and awareness based interventions; eco-districts; show-case events; energy switching; and smart-technology focused interventions). The results suggest that there are significant knowledge gaps between what is known to work to engage individuals in behavioural change and what is currently being applied in practice. An over-reliance on education and awareness-raising projects is evident, illustrating that such projects do not sufficiently aim for sustained behavioural changes. A dearth of projects incorporating fiscal measures, regulations or legislation to drive behaviour change reflects reluctance on behalf of decision-makers to engage widely with diverse approaches to foster lifestyle change. This paper contributes understandings of the different models and delivery tools employed to change energy-related behaviours; insights into the critical success factors that underpin best practice and the barriers to action; and a `what works in practice' overview of the meaningful approaches to change behaviour.

In-situ Star Formation in the Outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Gaia DR2 Confirmation. - Casetti-Dinescu, Dana I; Girard, Terrence M; Bidin, Christian Moni; Zhang, Lan; Mendez, Rene A; Vieira, Katherine; Korchagin, Vladimir I; van Altena, William F (The Astrophysical journal, 2018)
We explore the Gaia data release 2 (DR2) proper motions of six young, main-sequence stars, members of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) reported by Moni Bidin et al. These stars are located in the outskirts of the disk, between 7degree and 13degree from the LMC's center where there is very low H I content. Gaia DR2 proper motions confirm that four stars formed locally, in situ, while two are consistent with being expelled via dynamical interactions from inner, more gas-rich regions of the LMC. This finding establishes that recent star formation occurred in the periphery of the LMC, where thus far only old populations were known.

The first technical sequences in human evolution from East Gona, Afar region, Ethiopia - de Lumley, Henry; Barsky, Deborah; Moncel, Marie Hélène; Carbonell, Eudald; Cauche, Dominique; Celiberti, Vincenzo; Notter, Olivier; Pleurdeau, David; Hong, Mi-Young; Rogers, Michael J.; Semaw, Sileshi (Antiquity, 2018)
Gona in the Afar region of Ethiopia has yielded the earliest Oldowan stone tools in the world. Artefacts from the East Gona (EG) 10 site date back 2.6 million years. Analysis of the lithic assemblage from EG 10 reveals the earliest-known evidence for refitting and conjoining stone artefacts. This new information supplements data from other Oldowan sites in East Africa, and provides an important insight into the technological capacities and evolutionary development of hominins during this period.

A high school replication of targeted professional development for classroom management - Freeman, Jennifer; Kowitt, Jennifer; Simonsen, Brandi; Wei, Yan; Dooley, Kate; Gordon, Lola; Maddock, Eleanor (Remedial and Special Education, 2018)
In areas of emerging research, such as supporting teachers' classroom management, replication of research is critical to ensuring that recommendations for the field are based on sound science and appropriate for the contexts to which they are being applied. This article describes a replication of research on efficient professional development supports for teachers' classroom managements in a new context: high school classrooms. Data did not support a functional relation between teachers' use of specific praise and the targeted professional development and self-management in the high school setting. Results of this study highlight the critical importance of replication in education research. Based on our findings and our experience conducting this study, we suggest several possible adaptations may be necessary for successful replication at the high school level.

Multiple family group service delivery model for children with disruptive behavior disorders: Impact on caregiver stress and depressive symptoms - Gopalan, Geetha; Bornheimer, Lindsay A.; Acri, Mary; Winters, Andrew; O’Brien, Kyle H.; Chacko, Anil (Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2018)
Disproportionately high rates of caregiver stress and depression are found among poverty-impacted communities, with high levels of caregiver stress and depression putting youth at heightened risk for the onset and perpetuation of disruptive behavior disorders. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a behavioral parent training program called the 4Rs and 2Ss for Strengthening Families Program (4R2S) on caregiver stress and depressive symptoms among 320 youth aged 7 to 11 and their families assigned to either the 4R2S or services as usual (SAU) condition. Among caregivers with clinically significant (CS) scores at baseline, 4R2S participants manifested significantly reduced scores on the stress and depressive symptom scores to SAU participants at 6-month follow-up. Findings suggest that 4R2S may reduce caregiver stress and depressive symptoms among those caregivers initially manifesting CS levels of stress or depressive symptoms.

Contemporary issues: The pre-licensure nursing student and medication errors. - Green, Cheryl (Nurse Education Today, 2018)
In Modern health care, the creation of cultures of safety for patients is of the upmost importance. Impacting the institutional stabilization of health care facilities safety initiatives, is the preparation of pre-licensure nursing students to safely administer medications to patients. Therefore, preparation of the pre-licensure nursing student must be evidence-based practice focused and incorporate innovative ways to reduce the potential for medication errors. Copyright © 2018.

Using instrumentation in psychiatric nursing to assess documentation of the nursing process for emergent non-psychiatric patient events. - Green, Cheryl (Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, 2018)
Ongoing education of experienced psychiatric nurses is imperative given the historically complex health presentations of psychiatric patients. Psychiatric patients tend to have medical co-morbidities and often do not have the financial resources for preventative health care. The hospitalization for acute psychiatric stabilization, is an opportunity for psychiatric nurses to teach and advocate for patients' physiological and psychological health. Documentation of patients' changes in condition and overall clinical presentation, is necessary to ensure patients' health care needs are met. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Social enterprise as a potential niche innovation breakout for low carbon transition - Hillman, Joanne; Axon, Stephen; Morrissey, John (Energy Policy, 2018)
While there is growing consensus that human behaviours need to change to a more sustainable paradigm, community driven approaches, such as social enterprise, have yet to be explored as serious instruments of sustainability transition. Social enterprises sit within the third sector of the economy, typically where market or governmental failures exist in the provision of social welfare, and have increasingly become a key driver of social progress. The autonomous nature of the social-economic model applied by such organisations can represent a viable means to reduce state social welfare dependence, and is a proven model for social change. The capability of social enterprises to create both social and economic value is considered a `win-win'. Yet there are clear potentials for social enterprise models to be more extensively applied to address contemporary ecological challenges of neo-liberal market economies, moving towards `win-win-win' outcomes across social, economic and ecological domains. This paper investigates the value of social enterprises as drivers of low-carbon transition at the community level, with an emphasis on the energy sector. Evidence from seven organisations in the UK is presented and a socio-technical transitions conceptual framework is applied to analyse these social enterprise operations as a form of social innovation.

Influence of prenatal pre-exposure to an odor on intake behavior of an aversive solution in newborn rats. - Kamenetzky, Giselle V; Suarez, Andrea B; Ifran, Maria Celeste; Nizhnikov, Michael E; Pautassi, Ricardo M (Neuroscience letters, 2018)
Early pre- or postnatal sensory experiences significantly influence flavor preference and food intake, and can induce liking for innately unpalatable flavors. Previous work found that newborn rats stimulated with an odor experienced shortly after birth exhibited heightened intake and seeking towards an artificial nipple containing quinine. This result suggests that odors made familiar trough early postnatal pre-exposure can shift the motivational value of unconditional stimuli. The objective of the current study was to assess the effect of an odor (lemon) experienced in-utero on the first intake responses towards an artificial nipple supplying quinine. The hypothesis, which was corroborated, was that stimulation with the olfactory stimulus experienced in-utero would increase the newborn's intake and grasp responses to the artificial nipple containing quinine. Exposure to the odor that had been pre-exposed in utero increased quinine intake and seeking (i.e., latency to grasp and total time in contact with the nipple, as well as number of and mean duration of nipple grasps) in 3-h-old pups. These results replicate those previously found with postnatal odor pre-exposure, and extend the phase for pre-exposure to the prenatal stage. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Stigma, housing and identity after prison. - Keene, Danya E; Smoyer, Amy B; Blankenship, Kim M (The Sociological review, 2018)
Existing research suggests that individuals who are released from prison face considerable challenges in obtaining access to safe, stable, and affordable places to live and call home. This article draws on repeated qualitative interviews (conducted every 6 months over a period of 3 years) with 44 formerly incarcerated individuals, to understand how these individuals experience the search for a home after their prison release. The interviews show that the quest for a home is central to participants' reintegration projects as they seek to establish themselves as 'decent' and economically self-sufficient citizens, and shed stigmatized identities associated with incarceration, poverty, homelessness, and place. Interviews also suggest that their quest for a home is an arduous one as they encounter numerous barriers to housing arising from both structural and interpersonal forms of incarceration stigma. Somewhat paradoxically, the challenges that they face in accessing housing seem to hinder their ability to shed the stigmatized identities associated with their incarceration. Ultimately, the narratives presented here show how stigma can restrict access to a valuable material and symbolic resource (housing), resulting in ongoing stigmatization, and contributing to the enduring and discrediting mark of incarceration. In this way, the study illustrates how stigma that is enacted by both individuals and the state, that is embodied in place, and that is internalized and managed by stigmatized individuals themselves, can work to reproduce power and serve as justification for inequality.

When nostalgia marketing backfires: Gender differences in the impact of nostalgia on youthfulness for older consumers - Kim, Young Kyu; Yim, Mark Yi-Cheon (Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018)
Two studies are conducted to test how consumers respond differently in feeling nostalgic depending on age and gender. Study 1 uses narrative writing tasks to empirically test the effect of nostalgic versus nonnostalgic feelings on youthfulness by age and gender. To increase the external validity of our findings in Study 1, Study 2 replicates it using print ads. The results across the two studies consistently reveal a significant effect of nostalgia on feelings of youthfulness that differs by age and gender. Specifically, older women tend to feel less youthful than older men when nostalgic feelings are induced in both studies, whereas younger adults experience no gender difference. Results also show that these differences are explained by self-discontinuity between current and ideal body image. Furthermore, we identify that nostalgic feelings in advertising are effective because they generate positive feelings of youthfulness that in turn result in positive attitudes toward the ad.

Pre-play learning and the preference reversal phenomenon - Kim, Younjun; Hoffman, Elizabeth (Southern Economic Journal, 2018)
Elicited preference rankings for two lotteries are typically inconsistent across choice and pricing tasks. We test whether pre-play learning makes preference rankings consistent. Pre-play learning denotes ex-ante lottery learning, where subjects observe playing lotteries before making decisions. We find that pre-play learning makes the average selling prices for the p-bet, of subjects who choose the p-bet, higher than their average selling prices for the $-bet. However, pre-play learning is not strong enough to equalize the rates of standard and non-standard reversals, although pre-play learning reduces the rate of standard reversals.

Farewell to Naples: Ferrante’s 'Story of a New Name' - Palma, Pina (Forum Italicum: A Journal of Italian Studies, 2018)
In Ferrante’s Story of a New Name, the protagonist’s journey to self-knowledge and self-realization is mapped through a farewell trip to Naples before she begins her studies in Pisa. As the centerpiece and background around and against which Elena’s accomplishments, failures, and societal pressures revolve, Naples emerges as a mosaic of energy and lethargy, unbreakable traditions and negligible innovations. While these elements mirror the protagonist’s powerlessness in changing the “norms” to which she is expected to adhere, they also function as her spur to a steady shift toward self-understanding. In this article, I analyze the ways in which Ferrante’s use of the beauty and lure, corrosiveness and lethality of Naples parallel her discourse on the protagonist’s search for self-understanding, a process that will ultimately enable Elena, the protagonist, to find self-realization. © 2018, The Author(s) 2018.

Impact of time interval alignment on data quality in electricity grids - Schwefel, Hans-Peter; Antonios, Imad; Lipsky, Lester (2018 IEEE International Conference on Communications, Control, and Computing Technologies for Smart Grids (SmartGridComm), 2018)
Measurements of parameters in electricity grids are frequently average values over some time interval. In scenarios of distributed measurements such as in distribution grids, offsets of local clocks can result in the averaging interval being misaligned. This paper investigates the properties of the so-called time alignment error of such measurands that is caused by shifts of the averaging interval. A Markov model is derived that allows for numerically calculating the expected value and other distribution properties of this error. Actual consumption measurements of an office building are used to study the behavior of this time alignment error, and to compare the results from the trace with numerical results and simulations from a fitted Markov model. For increasing averaging interval offset, the time alignment error approaches a normal distribution, whose parameters can be calculated or approximated from the Markov model.

Intentional multiple mating by females in a species where sneak fertilization circumvents female choice for parental males - Stiver, Kelly A.; Kindsvater, Holly K.; Tamburello, Natascia; Heckman, Kellie L.; Klein, Joanne; Alonzo, Suzanne H. (Journal of Fish Biology, 2018)
This paper describes how individual female ocellated wrasse Symphodus ocellatus distribute their spawning among males and nests in space and time. It is based on previously collected genetic data of larvae from ten different nests (used to reconstruct half and full-sibling groupings both within and among nests on multiple days) and behavioural data of marked females across the reproductive season. Both the genetic analyses and behavioural observations confirm that female S. ocellatus intentionally engage in multiple mating, by repeatedly spawning at the same nest on different days and at several different nests (up to 12 spawning events over 3 weeks), leading to mixed paternity among her young. The main benefit of such high and intentional multiple mating is probably insurance against brood failure due to nest predation, desertion or poor paternal care by the male. These findings reveal that even in systems where females attempt to avoid male-controlled mixed paternity, they may still engage in intentional multiple mating due to these potential benefits. © 2018 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles

Reading comprehension and co-teaching practices in middle school English language arts classrooms - Wexler, Jade; Kearns, Devin M.; Lemons, Christopher J.; Mitchell, Marisa; Clancy, Erin; Davidson, Kimberly A.; Sinclair, Anne C.; Wei, Yan (Exceptional Children, 2018)
This study reports practices implemented in over 2,000 minutes by 16 middle school special education and general education co-teaching pairs in English language arts classes. We report the extent to which teachers integrated literacy activities that support reading comprehension, the co-teaching models used, and the frequency with which each teacher led instruction. We also report the types of grouping structures teachers used and the extent to which teachers interacted with students with disabilities. Finally, we report the types of text used. Observations revealed that more than half of time spent on literacy activities involved reading aloud or silently with no co-occurring literacy instruction that supports reading comprehension. Students with disabilities spent a majority of their time in whole-class instruction or working independently with little teacher interaction. Special education teachers spent most of their time supporting whole-class instruction led by the content-area teacher. Implications and directions for future research are provided.

A Rapid Method Based on Fluorescence Spectroscopy for Meat Spoilage Detection - Wu, Binlin; Dahlberg, Kevin; Gao, Xin; Smith, Jason; Bailin, Jacob (International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems, 2018)
Food spoilage is mainly caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria. In this study, we measure the autofluorescence in meat samples longitudinally over a week in an attempt to develop a method to rapidly detect meat spoilage using fluorescence spectroscopy. Meat food is a biological tissue, which contains intrinsic fluorophores, such as tryptophan, collagen, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) etc. As meat spoils, it undergoes various morphological and chemical changes. The concentrations of the native fluorophores present in a sample may change. In particular, the changes in NADH and FAD are associated with microbial metabolism, which is the most important process of the bacteria in food spoilage. Such changes may be revealed by fluorescence spectroscopy and used to indicate the status of meat spoilage. Therefore, such native fluorophores may be unique, reliable and non-subjective indicators for detection of spoiled meat. The results of the study show that the relative concentrations of all above fluorophores change as the meat samples kept in room temperature (~19°C) spoil. The changes become more rapidly after about two days. For the meat samples kept in a freezer (~ -12°C), the changes are much less or even unnoticeable over a-week-long storage.

Optical biopsy for prostate cancer diagnosis using fluorescence spectroscopy - Wu, Binlin; Gao, Xin; Smith, Jason (International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems, 2018)
Native fluorescence spectra are acquired from fresh normal and cancerous human prostate tissues. The fluorescence data are analyzed using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm such as non-negative matrix factorization. The nonnegative spectral components are retrieved and attributed to the native fluorophores such as collagen, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in tissue. The retrieved scores of the components are used to estimate the relative concentrations of the native fluorophores such as NADH and FAD and the redox ratio. A supervised machine learning algorithm such as support vector machine (SVM) is used to classify normal and cancerous tissue samples based on either the relative concentrations of NADH and FAD or the redox ratio alone. Various statistical measures such as sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, along with the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve are used to show the classification performance. A cross validation method such as leave-one-out is used to further evaluate the predictive performance of the SVM classifier to avoid bias due to overfitting, and the accuracy was found to be 93.3%.

An Evaluation of Reach for a Work Site Implementation of the National Diabetes Prevention Program Focusing on Diet and Exercise. - Zigmont, Victoria A; Shoben, Abigail B; Kaye, Gail L; Snow, Richard J; Clinton, Steven K; Harris, Randall E; Olivo-Marston, Susan E (American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2018)
PURPOSE: Our objective is to evaluate the "reach" component of the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework by comparing prediabetics who were and were not interested in enrolling in a free work site diabetes prevention program (DPP) during the first year of the program. Reach is defined as the proportion of eligible participants who enroll in a health program., DESIGN: A cross-sectional study design was used., SETTING: The setting was a large health system in the Midwest., PARTICIPANTS: Prediabetic health plan enrollees and spouses (N = 2158)., MEASURES: An online health survey, annual voluntary biometric screenings delivered by a trained health-care professional using standardized protocols via point-of-care testing, and records from the DPP office were the sources of data for this study., ANALYSIS: Health behaviors and biometric screening results were simultaneously compared using multivariable logistic regression., RESULTS: The study population was 63% female, 79% white, and 16% black, and the mean age was 50.2 years (SD = 10.2). The reach of this program was 10%. Prediabetics were more likely to express interest in the DPP, if they were female (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 2.4; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.55-3.72; P < .001), black (AOR = 2.23; 95% CI: 1.43-3.47; P < .001), older in age (AOR: 1.08; 95% CI: 0.99-1.17; P = .05), or had a high-risk waist circumference (AOR = 1.44; 95% CI: 0.98-2.13; P = .07), lower self-efficacy to make healthy changes (AOR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.26-0.91; P = .03), and 5 or more doctor visits in the last year (AOR = 2.13; 95% CI: 0.99-4.57; P = .05), after controlling for other covariates., CONCLUSION: Current recruitment and implementation strategies are reaching only a small group of individuals who are not representative of the larger prediabetic population. These findings inform future engagement strategies, and we recommend that public health practitioners evaluate reach to ensure that health promotion programs are of high value.

Lateral Flow Assessment and Unanticipated Toxicity of Kratom - Smith, L.C.; Lin, L.; Hwang, C.S.; Zhou, B.; Kubitz, D.M.; Wang, H.; Janda, K.D. (Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2019)
The leaves of the Mitragynine speciosia tree (also known as Kratom) have long been chewed, smoked, or brewed into a tea by people in Southeastern Asian countries, such as Malaysia and Thailand. Just this past year, the plant Kratom gained popularity in the United States as a "legal opioid" and scheduling it as a drug of abuse is currently pending. The primary alkaloid found in Kratom is a μ-opioid receptor agonist, mitragynine, whose structure contains a promising scaffold for immunopharmacological use. Although Kratom is regarded as a safe opioid alternative, here we report the LD 50 values determined for its two main psychoactive alkaloids, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, as comparable to heroin in mice when administered intravenously. Given Kratom's recent emergence in the U.S., there is currently no diagnostic test available for law enforcement or health professionals, so we sought to design such an assay. Mitragynine was used as a starting point for hapten design, resulting in a hapten with an ether linker extending from the C9 position of the alkaloid. Bacterial flagellin (FliC) was chosen as a carrier protein for active immunization in mice, yielding 32 potential monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for assay development. Antimitragynine mAbs in the range of micro- to nanomolar affinities were uncovered and their utility in producing a convenient lateral flow detection assay of human fluid samples was examined. Antibodies were screened for binding to mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, and performance in lateral flow assays. Two monoclonal antibodies were subcloned and further purified with 93 and 362 nM affinity to mitragynine. Test strip assays were optimized with a detection cut off of 0.5 μg/mL for mitragynine in buffer and urine (reflecting projected clinically relevant levels of drug in urine), which could be beneficial to law enforcement agencies and health professionals as the opioid epidemic in America continues to evolve. © 2018 American Chemical Society.

Bullying in the library workplace - Kim, Hak Joon; Geary, Carol Anne; Bielefield, Arlene (Library Leadership & Management, 2018)
The primary purposes of the study were to investigate how often bullying occurs in libraries and whether bullying policies exist in libraries. The first survey questionnaire was sent to library personnel in the six New England states through statewide email distribution lists. Altogether 571 library staff members completed the survey. The second survey questionnaire was sent to large public and academic libraries in New England to see if they have anti-bullying policies in the workplace. The results of the study clearly showed there were significant reports of workplace bullying in all kinds of libraries. Nonetheless, not many libraries have policies that deal with this workplace challenge.

Science and technology in Hawthorne’s short fiction - Ellis, Scott (Nathaniel Hawthorne in the College Classroom: Contexts, Materials, and Approaches, 2018)
This new work is currently the only book devoted to the teaching of one of the most canonical and frequently taught American authors.In addition to a Preface by the noted Hawthorne scholar Larry J. Reynolds [University Distinguished Professor and Thomas Franklin Mayo Professor of Liberal Arts Department of English Texas A&M University] the contributors include well-known and rising teacher-scholars who offer theoretical and pedagogical approaches to Hawthorne's four published novels and a wide range of his short stories.The specially commissioned essays are designed to help teachers meet students at points of genuine interest and need. They incorporate biographical, literary, historical, and multidisciplinary scholarship. The studies are further grounded in specific contexts such as literature surveys, interdisciplinary humanities courses, upper division literature seminars, and study abroad courses.Special emphasis is given to the issues of gender, science, and visual culture (including film adaptations). Offering both theoretical and practical classroom resources, this anthology confirms the continued vitality of Hawthorne's work - his critiques of religious and moral authority are more relevant than ever in today's global political environment - even as it showcases how today's "Hawthorne" is more of a diverse amalgam of texts and perspectives than ever before. Given its diversity of approaches and authors (including essayists from Germany, Israel, and Sweden), Nathaniel Hawthorne in the College Classroom charts new paths for reading and teaching Hawthorne in the 21st century.

275 candidates and 149 validated planets orbiting bright stars in K 2 campaigns 0–10 - Mayo, Andrew W.; Vanderburg, Andrew; Latham, David W.; Bieryla, Allyson; Morton, Timothy D.; Buchhave, Lars A.; Dressing, Courtney D.; Beichman, Charles; Berlind, Perry; Calkins, Michael L.; Ciardi, David R.; Crossfield, Ian J. M.; et al. (The Astronomical Journal, 2018)
Since 2014, NASA's K2 mission has observed large portions of the ecliptic plane in search of transiting planets and has detected hundreds of planet candidates. With observations planned until at least early 2018, K2 will continue to identify more planet candidates. We present here 275 planet candidates observed during Campaigns 0-10 of the K2 mission that are orbiting stars brighter than 13 mag (in Kepler band) and for which we have obtained high-resolution spectra (R = 44,000). These candidates are analyzed using the vespa package in order to calculate their false-positive probabilities (FPP). We find that 149 candidates are validated with an FPP lower than 0.1%, 39 of which were previously only candidates and 56 of which were previously undetected. The processes of data reduction, candidate identification, and statistical validation are described, and the demographics of the candidates and newly validated planets are explored. We show tentative evidence of a gap in the planet radius distribution of our candidate sample. Comparing our sample to the Kepler candidate sample investigated by Fulton et al., we conclude that more planets are required to quantitatively confirm the gap with K2 candidates or validated planets. This work, in addition to increasing the population of validated K2 planets by nearly 50% and providing new targets for follow-up observations, will also serve as a framework for validating candidates from upcoming K2 campaigns and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, expected to launch in 2018. © 2018.

Substance use, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among college students - Walters, Kenneth S.; Bulmer, Sandra Minor; Troiano, Peter F.; Obiaka, Uzoma; Bonhomme, Rebecca (Journal of Child & Adolescent Substance Abuse, 2018)
Research on college substance use and mental illness is limited and inconsistent. Measures of substance use, and anxiety and depressive symptoms, were completed by 1,316 undergraduates within a major drug transportation corridor. Hierarchical linear regressions were used to test associations between anxious and depressive symptoms and substance use (i.e., alcohol, cannabis, tobacco, cocaine, other amphetamines, sedatives, hallucinogens, and designer drugs). Depressive symptoms were associated with use of cannabis, tobacco, amphetamines, cocaine, sedatives, and hallucinogens. Anxiety symptoms were unrelated to substance use. These findings support the need for education and prevention at universities, emphasizing tobacco, cannabis, and certain “harder” drugs.

Higher education and disability: A systematic review of assessment instruments designed for students, faculty, and staff - Lombardi, Allison; Gelbar, Nicholas; Dukes, III, Lyman L.; Kowitt, Jennifer; Wei, Yan; Madaus, Joseph; Lalor, Adam R.; Faggella-Luby, Michael (Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2018)
In this study, the literature in disability and higher education was examined, with a specific focus on assessment instruments. Published articles (n = 203) on development of new or refinement of existing instruments were reviewed for traits measured and psychometric rigor reported. Findings showed instruments are intended for professionals and students, and of the student instruments, broad categories are academic, nonacademic, and specific to a disability diagnosis. Not all instruments are limited to students with disabilities; many of the reviewed instruments can be utilized in higher-education settings on all students, faculty, and staff, regardless of disability. The implications of the findings undergird the urgency to prioritize disability as a facet of diversity within higher-education scholarship, and furthermore aid this prioritization by providing a catalogue of robust instruments to researchers and practitioners.

Chemical abundances in the leading arm of the Magellanic stream - Fox, Andrew J.; Barger, Kathleen A.; Wakker, Bart P.; Richter, Philipp; Antwi-Danso, Jacqueline; Casetti-Dinescu, Dana I.; Howk, J. Christopher; Lehner, Nicolas; D’Onghia, Elena; Crowther, Paul A.; Lockman, Felix J. (The Astrophysical Journal, 2018)
The Leading Arm (LA) of the Magellanic Stream is a vast debris field of H i clouds connecting the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. It represents an example of active gas accretion onto the Galaxy. Previously, only one chemical abundance measurement had been made in the LA. Here we present chemical abundance measurements using Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Green Bank Telescope spectra of four AGN sightlines passing through the LA and three nearby sightlines that may trace outer fragments of the LA. We find low oxygen abundances, ranging from 4.0-2.0+2.0% solar to 12.6-4.16.0% solar, in the confirmed LA directions, with the lowest values found in the region known as LA III, farthest from the LMC. These abundances are substantially lower than the single previous measurement, S/H =35 ±7% solar, but are in agreement with those reported in the SMC filament of the trailing Stream, supporting a common origin in the SMC (not the LMC) for the majority of the LA and trailing Stream. This provides important constraints for models of the formation of the Magellanic System. Finally, two of the three nearby sightlines show high-velocity clouds with H i columns, kinematics, and oxygen abundances consistent with LA membership. This suggests that the LA is larger than traditionally thought, extending at least 20° further to the Galactic northwest. © 2018. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

Resonance raman imaging for detecting and monitoring molecular pathological changes in human brain tumors related to Warburg effect - Zhou, Yan; Liu, Cheng-hui; Zhu, Ke; Zhang, Chunyuan; Yang, Yang; Yu, Xinguang; Hu, Hailong; Cheng, Gangge; Wu, Binlin; Shi, Lingyan; Alfano, Robert R. (Optical Biopsy XVI: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis, 2018)
The goal of the research is to determine the prognostic molecular pathological changes in components and composition, for human brain glioma gradings in comparison with normal tissues in three-dimensional Raman imaging profiles by visible Resonance Raman (VRR) imaging. VRR images from twenty-five specimens including three healthy tissues, one normal control, and twenty-one glioma tissues of grades II, II-III and III-IV with histology examination were measured and investigated using WITec300R confocal micro Raman imaging system with laser excitation of 532nm. Two-dimensional RR spectral mappings performed in 20μm x 20μm generated 400 images which integrated the intensity of the specific biochemical bonds as the third dimension. The three-dimension (3D) map demonstrated the spatial distributions of three selected sets of RR spectra of molecular biomarkers, and revealed significant differences in the spectra between normal and glioma tissues of different grades due to the composition changes in key molimageecules. These RR molecular spectral fingerprints have displayed: a clear enhancement of RR vibrational modes at 1129-1131cm^-1 and 2934cm^-1 which are supposed to be arising from lipoproteins; evident decreased RR vibrational modes at 1442cm^-1 and 2854cm^-1 which are from saturated fatty acids bonds in all-grades of glioma brain tissues compared with normal tissues; and the enhanced RR spectral modes of 1129 cm^-1 and 2938cm^-1 which suggest contribution from lactate. These findings may provide a novel proof for anaerobic glycolysis metabolic process in brain glioma cancer tissues that has been explained by Warburg effects.

Statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms for optical biopsy - Wu, Binlin; Liu, Cheng-hui; Boydston-White, Susie; Beckman, Hugh; Sriramoju, Vidyasagar; Sordillo, Laura; Zhang, Chunyuan; Zhang, Lin; Shi, Lingyan; Smith, Jason; Bailin, Jacob; Alfano, Robert R. (Optical Biopsy XVI: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis, 2018)
Analyzing spectral or imaging data collected with various optical biopsy methods is often times difficult due to the complexity of the biological basis. Robust methods that can utilize the spectral or imaging data and detect the characteristic spectral or spatial signatures for different types of tissue is challenging but highly desired. In this study, we used various machine learning algorithms to analyze a spectral dataset acquired from human skin normal and cancerous tissue samples using resonance Raman spectroscopy with 532nm excitation. The algorithms including principal component analysis, nonnegative matrix factorization, and autoencoder artificial neural network are used to reduce dimension of the dataset and detect features. A support vector machine with a linear kernel is used to classify the normal tissue and cancerous tissue samples. The efficacies of the methods are compared.

Characterization and discrimination of human breast cancer and normal breast tissues using resonance Raman spectroscopy - Wu, Binlin; Smith, Jason; Zhang, Lin; Gao, Xin; Alfano, Robert R. (Optical Biopsy XVI: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis, 2018)
Worldwide breast cancer incidence has increased by more than twenty percent in the past decade. It is also known that in that time, mortality due to the affliction has increased by fourteen percent. Using optical-based diagnostic techniques, such as Raman spectroscopy, has been explored in order to increase diagnostic accuracy in a more objective way along with significantly decreasing diagnostic wait-times. In this study, Raman spectroscopy with 532-nm excitation was used in order to incite resonance effects to enhance Stokes Raman scattering from unique biomolecular vibrational modes. Seventy-two Raman spectra (41 cancerous, 31 normal) were collected from nine breast tissue samples by performing a ten-spectra average using a 500-ms acquisition time at each acquisition location. The raw spectral data was subsequently prepared for analysis with background correction and normalization. The spectral data in the Raman Shift range of 750- 2000 cm-1 was used for analysis since the detector has highest sensitivity around in this range. The matrix decomposition technique nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) was then performed on this processed data. The resulting leave-oneout cross-validation using two selective feature components resulted in sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 92.6%, 100% and 96.0% respectively. The performance of NMF was also compared to that using principal component analysis (PCA), and NMF was shown be to be superior to PCA in this study. This study shows that coupling the resonance Raman spectroscopy technique with subsequent NMF decomposition method shows potential for high characterization accuracy in breast cancer detection.

Azimuthal transverse single-spin asymmetries of inclusive jets and charged pions within jets from polarized-proton collisions at √s = 500 GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review D, 2018)
We report the first measurements of transverse single-spin asymmetries for inclusive jet and jet+π± production at midrapidity from transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at √s=500 GeV. The data were collected in 2011 with the STAR detector sampled from 23 pb−1 integrated luminosity with an average beam polarization of 53%. Asymmetries are reported for jets with transverse momenta 6<pT<55 GeV/c and pseudorapidity |η|<1. Presented are measurements of the inclusive-jet azimuthal transverse single-spin asymmetry, sensitive to twist-3 initial-state quark-gluon correlators; the Collins asymmetry, sensitive to quark transversity coupled to the polarized Collins fragmentation function; and the first measurement of the “Collins-like” asymmetry, sensitive to linearly polarized gluons. Within the present statistical precision, inclusive-jet and Collins-like asymmetries are small, with the latter allowing the first experimental constraints on gluon linear polarization in a polarized proton. At higher values of jet transverse momenta, we observe the first nonzero Collins asymmetries in polarized-proton collisions, with a statistical significance of greater than 5σ. The results span a range of x similar to results from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering but at much higher Q2. The Collins results enable tests of universality and factorization breaking in the transverse momentum-dependent formulation of perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

Urban tween talk about using mobile phones for learning - Arafeh, Sousan; Kuszpa, M; Weller, M; Mitchell, T (Mobile Learning: Perspectives on Practice and Policy, 2018)
There can be no doubt that mobile technologies are here to stay. Global mobile traffic grew 74 percent in 2015 alone, with 563 million devices and connections added – most of them tablets and Smartphones. This growth has been 4000-fold in the past 10 years and 400 million-fold in the past 15 years (Cisco, 2016). Mobile technologies permeate the lives of 21st century citizens as mainstays of organizational and institutional day-to-day operations, commerce, and communication and as tools used to support individuals' personal, social, and career responsibilities. In both the corporate and educational worlds, e- and m-learning and marketing with mobile technologies are moving forward at breakneck speed with, in many cases, a blurring of traditional sector boundaries. As neither the technology nor the uses are static, exploring practices and policies that underpin this quickly shifting mobile technology context is crucial for ensuring its intelligent, purposeful, and equitable use. This edited book provides a venue for researchers to share their work on mobile learning with a focus on uses for mobiles in informal settings and PK-20 classrooms, language learning, mobile gaming, leadership and policy issues, and what mobile learning in the future may be. It assists researchers and educators to consider and answer questions such as: What is "mobilelearning" today How can mobiles be used to enable learning How is mobile learning crossing or connecting economic, social, and/or cultural sectors How do specific cultural practices with media influence mobile learning (e.g

New nursing faculty and incivility: applying mindfulness-based strategies - Green, Cheryl (Holistic Nursing Practice, 2018)
Workplace incivility remains a problem within the nursing profession. As nurse leaders, we must recognize and not ignore the complexity of cultures that have adapted incivility into the work environment. Nursing education is a discipline that requires collaborative team work, independent drive, and commitment. New nursing faculty experiencing incivility can use mindfulness-based meditation approaches to cope with uncivil behaviors experienced within the workplace. Nurse educators applying the concepts of mindfulness can learn how to provide themselves self-care by reducing stress, as enhanced daily awareness of peace and calm are incorporated into their lifestyle. Mindfulness provides a realization that control can only be given to other persons when an individual allows or accepts another's negative behaviors. Awareness of the value and importance of oneself can assist the nurse educator experiencing incivility to maintain his or her emotional, physical, and spiritual health despite the volatility of the work environment.

Relational communication and illusionary loyalty: Moderating role of self-construal - Hossain, Mehdi T; Chonko, Lawrence B (Industrial Marketing Management, 2018)
In this research we demonstrate how various facets of communication influence customer loyalty in a B2B selling environment. Palmatier, Scheer, and Steenkamp (2007) show that salesperson owned loyalty (customers' loyalty specific to the salesperson) can be differentiated from customers' overall loyalty to the firm. We demonstrate how various facets of communication differentially influence salesperson owned loyalty and loyalty to the firm. We find that greater bidirectional flow of communication enhances both salesperson owned loyalty and customers' loyalty to firm. However, greater frequency of communication enhances only salesperson owned loyalty. Formality in communication negatively influences salesperson owned loyalty and positively influence customers' loyalty to firm. In addition, we find an interesting moderation effect of these relationships by customers' self-construal. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.

What is the evidence for use of a supplemental feeding tube device as an alternative supplemental feeding method for breastfed infants? - Penny, Frances; Judge, Michelle; Brownell, Elizabeth; McGrath, Jacqueline M. (Advances in Neonatal Care, 2018)
Background: According to the Healthy People 2020 goals, the sustainability of breastfeeding duration rates within the United States has not been achieved. To increase these rates, it is important that women with breastfeeding difficulties receive the support needed to continue breastfeeding. When supplementation occurs, it is essential that the breastfeeding relationship be preserved. Various methods of supplementation are often recommended including use of the supplemental feeding tube device (SFTD). Purpose: The question guiding this brief is “What evidence exists to support the use of an SFTD as a method of supplementation for breastfed infants?” Search Strategy: The PubMed and CINAHL databases were queried for original research published in English from 1990 through July 2016. Search terms included “supplemental feeding tube,” “breastfeeding,” “term infants,” “premature infants,” “Supplemental Nursing System,” “Lact-aid,” and “supply line.” Findings: Very limited research exists on the use of SFTDs as a method of supplementation for breastfed infants; however, existing research suggests that an SFTD may be useful as a supplementation method for breastfed infants. High-quality research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of using an SFTD for supporting exclusive and all breastfeeding rates. Implications for Practice: Nurses and providers need to be educated and trained in the use of SFTDs as well as all supplemental feeding methods. Information on efficacy and SFTD use should also be included in policies related to breastfeeding and human milk use. Implications for Research: Further research should determine best methods of supplementation for breastfed infants and should examine differences in breastfeeding rates when using the SFTD for supplementation.

Proper motion of the Sextans dwarf galaxy from Subaru Suprime-Cam data - Casetti-Dinescu, Dana I.; Girard, Terrence M.; Schriefer, Michael (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018)
We have measured the absolute proper motion of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy using Subaru Suprime-Cam images taken at three epochs, with a time baseline of ~10 yr. We astrometrically calibrate each epoch by constructing distortion-correction 'maps' from the best available Subaru Suprime-Cam dithered data sets and from Gaia Data Release 1 positions. The magnitude limit of the proper motion study is V ~ 24. The area covered is 26.7 × 23.3 arcmin2, which is still within the core radius of Sextans. The derived proper motion is (μα, μδ) = (-0.409 ± 0.050, -0.047 ± 0.058) mas yr-1. The direction of motion is perpendicular to the major axis of the galaxy. Our measurement, combined with radial velocity and distance from the literature, implies a low eccentricity orbit, with a moderate inclination to the Galactic plane, and a period of 3 Gyr. Sextans is now some 0.4 Gyr away from its pericentre (rperi ~ 75 kpc), moving towards its apocentre (rapo ~ 132 kpc). Its orbit is inconsistent with membership to the vast polar structure of Galactic satellites. © 2018 The Author(s).

Social work and hospitality: An oral history of Edith Stolzenberg - Gardella, Lorrie Greenhouse (Journal of Religion & Spirituality in Social Work: Social Thought, 2018)
Edith Richman Stolzenberg (1913–2004) was the first woman to be hired as a social worker in Hartford Public High School in Hartford, Connecticut. In a career that spanned 60 years and much of 20th-century social welfare history, she was motivated by the social justice tradition of her Jewish upbringing and the religious value of hospitality to advocate for children and families. As we enter a harsh new era for social services, this oral history explores the radical possibilities for integrating social work goals and religious values.

An Examination of Peer-Delivered Parenting Skills Programs Across New York State - Acri, Mary C.; Craig, Nancy; Adler, Josh (Community Mental Health Journal, 2018)
Peers are an important adjunct to the public mental health service system, and are being increasingly utilized across the country as a cost-effective solution to workforce shortages. Despite the tremendous growth of peer-delivered support over the past two decades, it has only been within the past few years that peer programs have been the subject of empirical inquiry. The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and characteristics of peer-delivered parenting programs across the New York State public mental health service system. We surveyed 46 family peer organizations across New York State regarding their delivery of structured peer-delivered parenting programs. Thirty-four (76%) completed the questionnaire, and of them, 18 (53%) delivered a parenting program. Subsequent interviews with seven of the 18 organizations revealed peer organizations had been delivering eight unique parenting programs for upwards of two decades. Additionally, organizations offered multiple supports to families to participate. Training, supervision, and issues around fidelity are discussed, as well as the implications of this study for states utilizing a peer workforce.

Reexamining the Nineteenth-Century presidency and partisan press: The Case of President Grant and the Whiskey Ring Scandal - Hopper, Jennifer Rose (Social Science History, 2018)
Studies of the institutional development of the presidency and popular leadership by presidents over time lead us to contrary expectations as to how a nineteenth-century president would react to a major political scandal. Scholarship on newspapers of the late 1800s is also unclear on how a quasipartisan media, with some outlets moving toward independence, would cover a White House scandal. I find that a close analysis of the case of President Ulysses S. Grant and the Whiskey Ring scandal forces us to reconsider what we assume to be firmly modern developments in both presidential studies and media history. Though a supposedly “premodern” president, Grant still mounted a concerted effort to mitigate the damage of the scandal. Further, although the president could get his version of events across in prominent newspapers, Republican newspaper coverage was hardly reliable. Newspapers also connected politicians’ character and psychology to mistakes made in office and made presidential strategies to shape public perception clear to their audiences—emphases on political gamesmanship considered hallmarks of the modern media environment.

An enhanced architecture for serial fusion based multi-biometric verification system - Hossain, Shafaeat; Chen, Jundong; Rahman, Khandaker Abir (International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications, 2018)
The traditional architecture of serial fusion based multi-biometric verification systems places an average performing or the worst performing individual verifier in the final stage. Because the final stage gives the verification decision using a single threshold and takes on the most confusing samples which are rejected by all previous stages, an average or the worst performing individual verifier may incur high verification errors in the final stage, which may negatively impact the performance of the whole system. Unfortunately, it is not possible to place a strong individual verifier in the final stage of a traditional architecture because if we place a strong individual verifier in the final stage, we will have to place a weak individual verifier in an earlier stage. Studies show that placing a weak individual verifier in an earlier stage worsens the performance of the whole system by giving more wrong decision earlier. Hence, the challenge is-how can we place the best performing individual verifier in the first stage and at the same time not place an average or the worst performing individual verifier in the final stage? In this paper, we address this challenge. We have come up with a very simple but effective solution. We have proposed a modification to the traditional architecture of serial fusion based multi-biometric verification systems. With rigorous experiments on the NIST multi-modal dataset and using three serial fusion based multi-biometric verification schemes, we demonstrated that our proposed architecture significantly improves the performance of serial fusion based multi-biometric verification systems. © 2018 IEEE.

Electrophysiological Indices of Audiovisual Speech Perception: Beyond the McGurk Effect and Speech in Noise. - Irwin, Julia; Avery, Trey; Brancazio, Lawrence; Turcios, Jacqueline; Ryherd, Kayleigh; Landi, Nicole (Multisensory research, 2018)
Visual information on a talker's face can influence what a listener hears. Commonly used approaches to study this include mismatched audiovisual stimuli (e.g., McGurk type stimuli) or visual speech in auditory noise. In this paper we discuss potential limitations of these approaches and introduce a novel visual phonemic restoration method. This method always presents the same visual stimulus (e.g., /ba/) dubbed with a matched auditory stimulus (/ba/) or one that has weakened consonantal information and sounds more /a/-like). When this reduced auditory stimulus (or /a/) is dubbed with the visual /ba/, a visual influence will result in effectively 'restoring' the weakened auditory cues so that the stimulus is perceived as a /ba/. An oddball design in which participants are asked to detect the /a/ among a stream of more frequently occurring /ba/s while either a speaking face or face with no visual speech was used. In addition, the same paradigm was presented for a second contrast in which participants detected /pa/ among /ba/s, a contrast which should be unaltered by the presence of visual speech. Behavioral and some ERP findings reflect the expected phonemic restoration for the /ba/ vs. /a/ contrast; specifically, we observed reduced accuracy and P300 response in the presence of visual speech. Further, we report an unexpected finding of reduced accuracy and P300 response for both speech contrasts in the presence of visual speech, suggesting overall modulation of the auditory signal in the presence of visual speech. Consistent with this, we observed a mismatch negativity (MMN) effect for the /ba/ vs. /pa/ contrast only that was larger in absence of visual speech. We discuss the potential utility for this paradigm for listeners who cannot respond actively, such as infants and individuals with developmental disabilities.

Exploring multiphoton microscopy as a novel tool to differentiate chromophobe renal cell carcinoma from oncocytoma in fixed tissue sections - Jain, Manu; Robinson, Brian D.; Wu, Binlin; Khani, Francesca; Mukherjee, Sushmita (Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, 2018)
Context.-Distinguishing chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC), especially in the presence of eosinophilic cytoplasm, from oncocytoma on hematoxylin-eosin can be difficult and often requires time-consuming ancillary procedures that ultimately may not be informative. Objective.-To explore the potential of multiphoton microscopy (MPM) as an alternative and rapid diagnostic tool in differentiating oncocytoma from chRCC at subcellular resolution without tissue processing. Design.-Unstained, deparaffinized tissue sections from 27 tumors (oncocytoma [n = 12], chRCC [n = 12], eosinophilic variant of chRCC [n = 1], and atypical oncocytic renal neoplasm [n = 2]) were imaged with MPM. Morphologic evaluation and automated quantitative morphometric analysis were conducted to distinguish between chRCC and oncocytoma. Results.-The typical cases of oncocytomas (12 of 12) and chRCC (12 of 12) could be readily differentiated on MPM based on the morphologic features similar to hematoxylin-eosin. The most striking MPM signature of both of the tumors was the presence of autofluorescent intracytoplasmic granules, which are not seen on hematoxylin-eosin-stained slides. Although we saw these granules in both types of tumors, they appeared distinct, based on their size, shape, cytoplasmic distribution, and autofluorescence wavelengths, and were valuable in arriving at a definitive diagnosis. For oncocytomas and chRCC, high diagnostic accuracies of 100% and 83.3% were achieved on blinded MPM and morphometric analysis, respectively. Conclusions.-To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of MPM to distinguish chRCC from oncocytoma in fixed tissues. Our study was limited by small sample size and only a few variants of oncocytic tumors. Prospective studies are warranted to assess the utility of MPM as a diagnostic aid in oncocytic renal tumors. © Copyright 2018 College of American Pathologists.

Expanding quantification of arsenic in water to 0 μg L −1 with a field test kit: substituting 0.4% M/V silver nitrate as the colorimetric reagent; employing digital image analysis - Kearns, James K; Edson, Cody B (Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 2018)
This study confronts the questionable reliability and accuracy of field test kits distributed globally to determine arsenic in drinking water. Because kits are the primary method of arsenic analysis in the areas most affected, an alternate, nontoxic formulation is needed to provide accurate results. Hypothesizing that introducing silver nitrate as the reagent in test kits could successfully substitute for restricted mercuric bromide, the study found that the reformulated kits provided reliable, precise, and accurate results over a broader range of contamination. Digital image analysis was used to examine the blue color value produced when arsine reacts with silver nitrate impregnated test strips. An optimal concentration of AgNO3 exhibiting the greatest linearity was determined by graphical comparison and the color intensity of the strips observed to be inversely proportional to the concentration of As (III). Adapted field test kits were then constructed to examine water samples ranging in arsenic contamination from 0 to 50 μg L−1. A series of reactions was completed to demonstrate reproducibility and test for the accuracy of the procedure. Statistical examination of colorimetrically quantified results confirmed the hypothesis that silver nitrate can reliably and precisely expand the kit’s range of detection while maintaining its low cost, quick assessment, and uncomplicated technique. This new method, using 0.4% m/v AgNO3 as a reagent for the Gutzeit reaction, was able to distinguish between concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 50 μg L−1 at the 95% confidence level. © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.

Collective memory, memorialization and bearing witness in the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide - Marsoobian, Armen T. (Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Genocide and Memory, 2018)
This chapter describes and analyzes an ongoing project of memorialization of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey. It explores the importance of memorialization for collective historical memory, especially in situations where historical memory has been subverted by genocide denial. Among many aspects of memorialization, its role in bearing witness is explored and highlighted. Three components of the memory project are described: (1) the photography exhibitions, (2) the publications, and (3) the creation of memory sites. The project centers on the story of the Dildilian family in Ottoman Turkey before, during, and after the genocide, covering the years 1872–1923. A microhistory of the life of the Armenian minority is chronicled by means of the personal memories and stories of members of the family. The history is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings that serve as the basis of the photography exhibitions and books. Exhibitions and associated talks and panels have taken place in Istanbul, Merzifon, Diyarbakir, and Ankara. The chapter describes and analyzes the reaction of the Turkish public to the project.

Evaluation of the McMahon Competence Assessment Instrument for use with midwifery students during a simulated shoulder dystocia - McMahon, Erin; Jevitt, Cecilia; Aronson, Barbara (Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2018)
IntroductionIntrapartum emergencies occur infrequently but require a prompt and competent response from the midwife to prevent morbidity and mortality of the woman, fetus, and newborn. Simulation provides the opportunity for student midwives to develop competence in a safe environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the inter-rater reliability of the McMahon Competence Assessment Instrument (MCAI) for use with student midwives during a simulated shoulder dystocia scenario. MethodsA pilot study using a nonprobability convenience sample was used to evaluate the MCAI. Content validity indices were calculated for the individual items and the overall instrument using data from a panel of expert reviewers. Fourteen student midwives consented to be video recorded while participating in a simulated shoulder dystocia scenario. Three faculty raters used the MCAI to evaluate the student performance. These quantitative data were used to determine the inter-rater reliability of the MCAI. ResultsThe intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the inter-rater reliability of MCAI scores between 2 or more raters. The ICC was 0.86 (95% confidence interval, 0.60-0.96). Fleiss's kappa was calculated to determine the inter-rater reliability for individual items. Twenty-three of the 42 items corresponded to excellent strength of agreement. DiscussionThis study demonstrates a method to determine the inter-rater reliability of a competence assessment instrument to be used with student midwives. Data produced by this study were used to revise and improve the instrument. Additional research will further document the inter-rater reliability and can be used to determine changes in student competence. Valid and reliable methods of assessment will encourage the use of simulation to efficiently develop the competence of student midwives.

A transitions perspective on coastal sustainability - Morrissey, John; Heidkamp, C. Patrick (Towards coastal resilience and sustainability, 2018)
This chapter presents a review of the multi-scalar complexities of coastal sustainability challenges. It focuses on three discrete vignettes of innovation, which range from a novel and emerging innovation, a maturing innovation and an innovation which has become mainstream and part of the prevailing socio-technical regime. The first vignette focuses on 3D ocean farming off the coast of Connecticut in Long Island Sound, USA, as an example of an emerging niche-level innovation. The second vignette discusses the development of offshore wind energy capacity in Liverpool Bay, UK as an example of a socio-technical innovation that is more mature. The final vignette discusses containerisation as an example of a fully matured socio-technological change. The chapter argues that a spatial perspective on transition is critical to adequately account for uneven development processes and to recognise the heterogeneity of different places in terms of potential for low-carbon transition. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, C.

Examining the work of “scaffolding” in theory and practice: A case study of 6th graders and their teacher interacting with one another, an ambitious science curriculum, and mobile devices - Palincsar, Annemarie Sullivan; Fitzgerald, Miranda Suzanne; Marcum, Meredith Baker; Sherwood, Carrie-Anne (International Journal of Educational Research, 2018)
This case study features a class of sixth-grade students and their science teacher enacting a curriculum designed to teach the particulate nature of matter and phase changes. The class used a mobile device with several applications that supported reading, writing, viewing, and modeling. We examine the role of the teacher, the device, the peers, and the curriculum itself in scaffolding student learning.

Inflation targeting and monetary policy rules - Patalinghug, Jason C. (Global Economic Observer, 2018)
This paper examines the literature to try to explain the concept of inflation targeting. There are at present two competing monetary policy rules: (1) targeting rules and (2) instrument rules. The objective of this paper is to review the relative merits of these two monetary policy rules. The debate between using either an inflation targeting rule or an instrument rule debate displays the lack of consensus among economists concerning the proper specification and underlying assumptions of the inflation-targeting model which is suited for the analysis of key monetary policy issues. The paper also examines what recent studies have found about the effect of inflation targeting on emerging markets. These studies have shown that inflation targeting has been largely beneficial to emerging markets.

The suppression of cultural memory and identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Pettigrew, David (Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Genocide and Memory, 2018)
This chapter identifies an orchestrated effort in “Republika Srpska”—an entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina that was recognized by the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement − that is designed to prevent survivors of the genocide from erecting memorials to the victims in such locations as Višegrad, Prijedor, and Foča. While memorials for victims have been prohibited, and survivors have been prevented from using the term “genocide,” memorials to the perpetrators have been installed in the center of Višegrad, and near the Trnopolje concentration camp in Prijedor Municipality. In the hills above Sarajevo, in a location from which the city’s residents were attacked during the siege, a plaque honoring indicted war criminal Ratko Mladić has been installed. Accordingly, this chapter considers the extent to which the discriminatory practices regarding memorials in Republika Srpska constitute a violation of human rights. Further, the chapter argues that, following Raphael Lemkin’s definition of genocide, the prohibitive policies in Republika Srpska with respect to memorials and commemorative practices constitute nothing less than a continuation of the genocide, a second phase of the genocide designed to ensure the permanent erasure of a world that was destroyed. These human rights violations and the continuation of the genocide are a troubling testament to the failure of the international community in Bosnia, and to the problematic legacy of the Dayton Peace Agreement.

The hidden history of the American Film Institute: the cold war, arts policy, and American film preservation - Real, Brian (The Moving Image: The Journal of the Association of Moving Image Archivists, 2018)
The American Film Institute (AFI) presently does relatively little in terms of film preservation, but its founding in 1967 led to the growth of many of the mechanisms that define the motion picture preservation community today. As this article reveals, the AFI's success in promoting ongoing federal government support for motion picture preservation cannot be separated from the political context of the Cold War. The AFI's first director, George Stevens Jr., had previously been the head of the Motion Picture Service of the United States Information Agency (USIA). This work with a public diplomacy agency was essential to his vision for the design and structure of the AFI. Likewise, the AFI was founded as an independent nonprofit, but with the promise of significant ongoing funding support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). While this arrangement worked well at first, a change in presidential administrations and design flaws in the AFI's support mechanisms led to it being unable to meet the expectations of the very film preservation community it helped to foster.

Examining Delivery Method and Infant Feeding Intentions between Women in Traditional and Non-Traditional Prenatal Care. - Risisky, Deb; Chan, Ronna L; Zigmont, Victoria A; Asghar, Syed Masood; DeGennaro, Nancy (Maternal and child health journal, 2018)
Introduction The purpose of the study is to evaluate delivery method and breastfeeding initiation in women enrolled in group prenatal care (CenteringPregnancy) and in traditional prenatal care. Methods Data were obtained from medical records of a hospital-based midwifery practice in south central Connecticut that offered both types of prenatal care programs. Medical information from 307 women enrolled in this practice was included in the analysis. Out of the 307, 80 were enrolled in group prenatal care. Socio-demographic, lifestyle, and previous and current obstetrical information from medical records formed the basis of comparison. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses were carried out. Results Women in Centering had fewer planned cesarean sections (1.3 vs. 12.8%) and had a higher breastfeeding initiation (88.7 vs. 80.0%). However, Centering women were found to have a higher portion of unplanned cesarean sections (27.5 vs. 11.0%). Both the unadjusted and the adjusted odds ratios of having a cesarean planned delivery were lower in the group care. Women in Centering had 2.44 (95% CI 1.05, 5.66) times the odds of breastfeeding initiation compared to the odds for women in traditional prenatal care after adjusting for maternal age, smoking status, gestation and race. Discussion CenteringPregnancy can have positive impact for the woman and baby. This program implementation saw lower rates of elective cesarean sections and increased breastfeeding compared to women in traditional care.

Right back like we left something: examining the commodification of Blackness in social services to address racial disparities - the case of Hartford - Searcy, Yan (Social Work in Public Health, 2018)
Market-based approaches to addressing racial disparities have essentially re-commodified Blackness. Utilizing Hartford, which contains the largest percentage of Blacks per capita in Connecticut, this article examines market-based approaches to address racial disparities while discussing Blackness as an enduring commodity that is tied to private sector profit. The study argues that market based approaches incentivize punitive approaches to social problems associated with Blackness. The study concludes by suggesting that addressing disparities utilizing markets requires reimagining policy incentives to focus on prevention and treatment of social problems associated with Blackness. Failure to reimagine policy incentives serves to commodify Blackness whereby industries benefit from the continuity of disparities rather than the elimination of disparities.

The Early Acheulean ~1.6–1.2 Ma from Gona, Ethiopia: Issues related to the emergence of the Acheulean in Africa - Semaw, Sileshi; Rogers, Michael J.; Cáceres, Isabel; Stout, Dietrich; Leiss, Amanda C. (The Emergence of the Acheulean in East Africa and Beyond: Contributions in Honor of Jean Chavaillon, 2018)
Konso in Ethiopia and Kokiselei in Kenya, both dated to ~1.7 million years ago (Ma), and FLK West, a recently reported site from Olduvai dated to 1.7 Ma, are the earliest Acheulean sites known in East Africa. Ongoing archaeological investigations at Gona, in the Afar Depression of Ethiopia, have also produced early Acheulean stone assemblages at several sites, estimated to ~1.6–1.2 Ma. A number of sites, including BSN-12 and OGS-12, have yielded archaeological materials comparable to the earliest Konso artifacts. The stone assemblages from the Gona sites consist of crudely made handaxes, cleavers, and picks, as well as Mode I (Oldowan) cores, and débitage. A variety of raw materials were exploited at Gona, with trachyte, rhyolite, and basalt being the most common.Our understanding of the behavioral and ecological background for the emergence of the Acheulean is still limited. Preliminary comparisons of BSN-12 and OGS-12 with other early Acheulean sites demonstrate variability in paleoecological settings as well as raw material use. Current archaeological evidence indicates that early Homo erectus/ergaster use of this new technology was already in place in East Africa ~1.75 Ma. At Gona and elsewhere in Africa, continued survey and excavations are needed to document sites with potential for yielding archaeological traces that will help our understanding of the Oldowan–Acheulean transition, the identity of the toolmakers, and the function of the early Acheulean Large Cutting Tools (LCTs).

Coastal sediment management as a response to intensifying storms and sea level rise: A case study - Tait, James; Orlowski, Ryan; Brewer, Jessica; Miller, Matthew D (Towards coastal resilience and sustainability, 2018)
In a period of rising sea levels and intensifying storms, enhancing coastal resilience and finding sustainable ways of living with the coast have become necessary concerns. Investigations of storm wave damage to coastal structures on the Connecticut shoreline during Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy revealed that the width and height of frontal beaches were the most common denominator in mitigating the damages. One of the major problems, particularly for a state like Connecticut that has a highly developed coastline with systematically eroding beaches, is that the cost of beach nourishment projects is not only high but is increasing rapidly. The cost of beach nourishment at Prospect Beach in the town of West Haven is instructive. However, considering the importance of beaches and the costs of replenishment, rethinking Environmental Protection policies in favour of instituting regional and local sediment management practices may be in order. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, C.

Grade perceptions of students in chemistry coursework at all levels - Webb, Jeffrey A.; Karatjas, Andrew G. (Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018)
Various reasons are attributed to poor student performance in physical science courses such as lack of motivation, lack of ability, and/or the overall difficulty of these courses. One overlooked reason is a lack of self-awareness as to preparation level. Through a study over a two-year period, students at all levels (freshman through M.S.) of a chemistry program were surveyed and asked to self-report predictions of their score on examinations. At all levels, strong evidence of the Kruger–Dunning effect was seen where higher performing students tended to underpredict their examination scores while the lowest performing students tended to grossly overpredict their scores.

A pilot study for distinguishing chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma using second harmonic generation imaging and convolutional neural network analysis of collagen fibrillar structure - Wu, Binlin; Judd, Nicolas; Smith, Jason; Icaza, Michael; Mukherjee, Sushmita; Jain, Manu; Gallagher, Ryan M; Szeligowski, Richard V (Optical Biopsy XVI: Toward Real-Time Spectroscopic Imaging and Diagnosis, 2018)
A clear distinction between oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is critically important for clinical management of patients. But it may often be difficult to distinguish the two entities based on hematoxylin and eosin (H and E) stained sections alone. In this study, second harmonic generation (SHG) signals which are very specific to collagen were used to image collagen fibril structure. We conduct a pilot study to develop a new diagnostic method based on the analysis of collagen associated with kidney tumors using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). CNNs comprise a type of machine learning process well-suited for drawing information out of images. This study examines a CNN model's ability to differentiate between oncocytoma (benign), and chRCC (malignant) kidney tumor images acquired with second harmonic generation (SHG), which is very specific for collagen matrix. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that attempts to distinguish the two entities based on their collagen structure. The model developed from this study demonstrated an overall classification accuracy of 68.7% with a specificity of 66.3% and sensitivity of 74.6%. While these results reflect an ability to classify the kidney tumors better than chance, further studies will be carried out to (a) better realize the tumor classification potential of this method with a larger sample size and (b) combining SHG with two-photon excited intrinsic fluorescence signal to achieve better classification. © COPYRIGHT SPIE.

On the impossibility of sustainable growth in a manufacturing based economy - Yoon, Sang Won; Yoon, Chang-Ho (Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja, 2018)
This paper investigates a possibility of sustainable growth in a multi-output endogenous growth framework where the capital accumulation takes place mainly through the production of the dirty manufactured goods. It is shown that in a closed economy, economic growth is not environmentally sustainable, even under an optimal pollution tax unless the consumption elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty goods approaches infinity as in a small open economy which exports dirty goods. There exists a minimal threshold level of the ratio of clean to dirty capital that ensures sustainable growth in a closed economy.

The human geographies of coastal sustainability transitions - Axon, Stephen (Towards coastal resilience and sustainability, 2018)
This chapter provides an overview of public engagement, its importance and effective approaches to meaningfully involve the public with coastal sustainability transitions. It presents two case studies, Guernsey, British Channel Islands and Cape Wind, Massachusetts. These illustrate how concepts of identity, marginality and engagement are essential to the development of coastal sustainability transitions. As the case study of Guernsey outlines, coastal sustainability transition-related public engagement should seek to enhance the local distinctiveness of coastal areas and 'fit within the wider narrative of place identity and how individuals feel attached to places that are ascribed with specific meanings'. Furthermore, as the case study of Cape Wind illustrates, coastal sustainability transitions need to connect with local communities in terms of addressing immediate social and economic concerns. Therefore, as a research agenda, the human geographies of coastal sustainability transitions can be of substantial value to the practical application of sustainability. © 2019 selection and editorial matter, C.

A game theoretic analysis of the twitter follow-unfollow mechanism - Chen, Jundong; Hossain, Md Shafaeat; Brust, Matthias R.; Johnson, Naomi (Decision and Game Theory for Security, 2018)
Twitter users often crave more followers to increase their social popularity. While a variety of factors have been shown to attract the followers, very little work has been done to analyze the mechanism how Twitter users follow or unfollow each other. In this paper, we apply game theory to modeling the follow-unfollow mechanism on Twitter. We first present a two-player game which is based on the Prisoner’s Dilemma, and subsequently evaluate the payoffs when the two players adopt different strategies. To allow two players to play multiple rounds of the game, we propose a multi-stage game model. We design a Twitter bot analyzer which follows or unfollows other Twitter users by adopting the strategies from the multi-stage game. We develop an algorithm which enables the Twitter bot analyzer to automatically collect and analyze the data. The results from analyzing the data collected in our experiment show that the follow-back ratios for both of the Twitter bots are very low, which are 0.76%0.76%0.76\% and 0.86%0.86%0.86\%. This means that most of the Twitter users do not cooperate and only want to be followed instead of following others. Our results also exhibit the effect of different strategies on the follow-back followers and on the non-following followers as well.

Applying an integrative technology adoption paradigm to health app adoption and use - Dam, Linda; Roy, Deya; Atkin, David J.; Rogers, Dana (Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, 2018)
The present study employs an audience-centered approach to examine motivations for mobile fitness app use. We explicate and test an Integrated Technology Adoption model, which incorporates perspectives on competition, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and audience uses and gratifications. An online survey of 469 respondents reveals that app adoption intentions were predicted by internal competition orientations and gratifications, exercise self-efficacy, social utility motives, and attitudes toward the app. External competition decreased behavioral intentions related to app use. Study results thus provide support for an integrative model linking social cognitive factors with a new set of mobile app uses and gratifications.

The Ferrar Large Igneous Province: Field and geochemical constraints on supra-crustal (high-level) emplacement of the magmatic system - Elliot, David H.; Fleming, Thomas H. (Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2018)
The Ferrar Large Igneous Province forms a linear outcrop belt for 3250 km across Antarctica, which then diverges into SE Australia and New Zealand. The province comprises numerous sills, a layered mafic intrusion, remnants of extensive lava fields and minor pyroclastic deposits. High-precision zircon geochronology demonstrates a restricted emplacement duration ( < 0.4 myr) at c. 182.7 Ma, and geochemistry demonstrates marked coherence for most of the Ferrar province. Dyke swarms forming magma feeders have not been recognized, but locally have been inferred geophysically. The emplacement order of the various components of the magmatic system at supracrustal levels has been inferred to be from the top-down lavas first, followed by progressively deeper emplacement of sills. This order was primarily controlled by magma density, and the emptying of large differentiated magma bodies from depth. An alternative proposal is that the magma transport paths were through sills, with magmas moving upwards to eventually reach the surface to be erupted as extrusive rocks. These two hypotheses are evaluated in terms of field relationships and geochemistry in the five regional areas where both lavas and sills crop out. Either scenario is possible in one or more instances, but neither hypothesis applies on a province-wide basis. © 2018 The Author(s).

Patterns of oral choice and evaluation across secondary content areas. - Gleason, Jesse; Berg, Margaret A; Huang, Jingzi (Language and Education, 2018)
Our study focuses on Choice and Evaluation, two of Mohan's knowledge structures to uncover how teachers and students across content areas developed disciplinary knowledge through classroom talk. Participants included in-service teachers and their students in rural and urban secondary schools in the Eastern and Western US. Through Choice and Evaluation, we examined opportunities for students across four disciplines to build up their knowledge of content matter or field. Findings revealed that teachers of math and science built students' field knowledge through classroom exploration, eliciting Evaluation in dialogic patterns involving Choice, while social studies and language arts teachers helped students implicitly use Choice/Evaluation through projects based on their previous experiences. The essential role of student background knowledge in enabling participation across different types of oral exchanges is shown. This study uncovers tendencies across classrooms and makes linguistically informed suggestions for teachers in the disciplines.

Attitudinal instrument development: Assessing cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains of teacher attitudes toward teaching all students - Gregory, Jess L; Noto, Lori A (Cogent Education, 2018)
Despite their entree into the physical space of general education classrooms and the expected instruction of the core academic standards, students with disabilities may still be excluded. Successful inclusion requires a commitment at district, school and classroom level. The attitude of the general education teacher toward the inclusion of students with disabilities is a critical component in the success of inclusionary efforts. The attitudes toward teaching all students (ATTAS-mm) instrument are a nine-item scale with strong reliability and validity that measures educator attitudes. The three subscales: believing all students can succeed in general education classrooms (cognitive), developing personal and professional relationships (affective), and creating an accepting environment for all students to learn (behavioral) explain nearly 80% of the variance in scores. The unstandardized Cronbach alpha for the entire ATTAS-mm scale was 0.83. The three subscales also demonstrated acceptable reliability values (Cognitive, 0.72; Affective, 0.93; Behavioral, 0.84). With strong internal reliability and validity established through a panel of experts and alignment with cognitive psychology literature, the ATTAS-mm was determined to be a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the attitudes toward teaching all students. © 2018 The Author(s).

Economic nationalism in the history of international economics - Grubacic, Sanja; Schuster, Julian (International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, 2018)
This paper examines the sources of economic nationalism by a closer examination of the theory and policy of international trade, originating in the 19th century. We compare and contrast the views of British classical writers, the main proponents of trade liberalism, with the writings of Friedrich List, the main proponent of economic nationalism. The focus is on the distributional implications of trade, and the treatment of the benefits that a poor country may derive from trading with a rich country in 19th century economic thought. We also review the current literature on economic nationalism, and find that alternative perspectives emerge from differing views on the benefits and drawbacks of globalisation. We argue that List's approach remains relevant to understanding contemporary economic nationalism because it highlights a historical context in which the adverse distributional implications of foreign trade are likely to provoke nationalist sentiment. © 2018 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

A search for binary star companions to the KELT planet hosts and a comparison sample. i. results of DSSI observations - Coker, Carl T.; Gaudi, B. Scott; Pogge, Richard W.; Horch, Elliott (The Astronomical Journal, 2017)
We are conducting a search for binary companions around 11 hot-Jupiter hosts from the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) survey and a large comparison sample of stars shown by KELT to not host a transiting hot Jupiter. The primary stars are bright (7.5 < V < 11) and of similar distance from Earth (100 < d < 300 pc). In this paper, we present the results of our observations using the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument. We observed 9 of the 14 KELT planet hosts that are visible from the northern hemisphere and 51 comparison stars, discovering two new potential companions and re-observing two previously known possible binary systems and one confirmed binary system. We provide an estimate of the chance alignment probability for our observed candidate binaries. © 2017 The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.

Can we be part of the pride? Reading animals through comics in the undergraduate classroom - Baraw, Charles; Smyth, Andrew (Animal comics: Multispecies storyworlds in graphic narratives, 2017)
Animal characters abound in graphic narratives ranging from Krazy Kat and Maus to WE3 and Terra Formars. Exploring these and other multispecies storyworlds presented in words and images, Animal Comics draws together work in comics studies, narrative theory, and cross-disciplinary research on animal environments and human-animal relationships to shed new light on comics and graphic novels in which animal agents play a significant role. At the same time, the volume's international team of contributors show how the distinctive structures and affordances of graphic narratives foreground key questions about trans-species entanglements in a more-than-human world. The writers/artists covered in the book include: Nick Abadzis, Adolpho Avril, Jeffrey Brown, Sue Coe, Matt Dembicki, Olivier Deprez, J. J. Grandville, George Herriman, Adam Hines, William Hogarth, Grant Morrison, Osamu Tezuka, Frank Quitely, Yu Sasuga, Charles M. Schultz, Art Spiegelman, Fiona Staples, Ken'ichi Tachibana, Brian K. Vaughan, and others.

Validation of small Kepler transiting planet candidates in or near the habitable zone - Torres, Guillermo; Kane, Stephen R.; Rowe, Jason F.; Batalha, Natalie M.; Henze, Christopher E.; Ciardi, David R.; Barclay, Thomas; Borucki, William J.; Buchhave, Lars A.; Crepp, Justin R.; Everett, Mark E.; Horch, Elliott P.; et al. (The Astronomical Journal, 2017)
A main goal of NASA's Kepler Mission is to establish the frequency of potentially habitable Earth-size planets (). Relatively few such candidates identified by the mission can be confirmed to be rocky via dynamical measurement of their mass. Here we report an effort to validate 18 of them statistically using the BLENDER technique, by showing that the likelihood they are true planets is far greater than that of a false positive. Our analysis incorporates follow-up observations including high-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution imaging, and information from the analysis of the flux centroids of the Kepler observations themselves. Although many of these candidates have been previously validated by others, the confidence levels reported typically ignore the possibility that the planet may transit a star different from the target along the same line of sight. If that were the case, a planet that appears small enough to be rocky may actually be considerably larger and therefore less interesting from the point of view of habitability. We take this into consideration here and are able to validate 15 of our candidates at a 99.73% (3σ) significance level or higher, and the other three at a slightly lower confidence. We characterize the GKM host stars using available ground-based observations and provide updated parameters for the planets, with sizes between 0.8 and 2.9 R ⊕. Seven of them (KOI-0438.02, 0463.01, 2418.01, 2626.01, 3282.01, 4036.01, and 5856.01) have a better than 50% chance of being smaller than 2 R ⊕ and being in the habitable zone of their host stars. © 2017.

Characterizing K2 candidate planetary systems orbiting Low-mass stars. II. Planetary Systems observed during campaigns 1–7 - Dressing, Courtney D.; Vanderburg, Andrew; Schlieder, Joshua E.; Crossfield, Ian J. M.; Knutson, Heather A.; Newton, Elisabeth R.; Ciardi, David R.; Fulton, Benjamin J.; Gonzales, Erica J.; Howard, Andrew W.; Isaacson, Howard; Livingston, John; et al. (The Astronomical Journal, 2017)
We recently used near-infrared spectroscopy to improve the characterization of 76 low-mass stars around which K2 had detected 79 candidate transiting planets. 29 of these worlds were new discoveries that had not previously been published. We calculate the false positive probabilities that the transit-like signals are actually caused by non-planetary astrophysical phenomena and reject five new transit-like events and three previously reported events as false positives. We also statistically validate 17 planets (7 of which were previously unpublished), confirm the earlier validation of 22 planets, and announce 17 newly discovered planet candidates. Revising the properties of the associated planet candidates based on the updated host star characteristics and refitting the transit photometry, we find that our sample contains 21 planets or planet candidates with radii smaller than 1.25 R ⊕, 18 super-Earths (1.25-2 R ⊕), 21 small Neptunes (2-4 R ⊕), three large Neptunes (4-6 R ⊕), and eight giant planets (>6 R ⊕). Most of these planets are highly irradiated, but EPIC 206209135.04 (K2-72e, ), EPIC 211988320.01 (), and EPIC 212690867.01 () orbit within optimistic habitable zone boundaries set by the "recent Venus" inner limit and the "early Mars" outer limit. In total, our planet sample includes eight moderately irradiated 1.5-3 R ⊕ planet candidates (F p ≲ 20 F ⊕) orbiting brighter stars (Ks < 11) that are well-suited for atmospheric investigations with the Hubble, Spitzer, and/or James Webb Space Telescopes. Five validated planets orbit relatively bright stars (Kp < 12.5) and are expected to yield radial velocity semi-amplitudes of at least 2 m s-1. Accordingly, they are possible targets for radial velocity mass measurement with current facilities or the upcoming generation of red optical and near-infrared high-precision RV spectrographs. © 2017.

Investigating local parity violation in heavy-ion collisions using Λ helicity - Finch, L. E.; Murray, S. J. (Physical Review C, 2017)
We propose the measurement of net Λ and Λ helicity, correlated event by event with the magnitude and sign of charge separation along the event's magnetic field direction, as a probe to investigate the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions. With a simple simulation model of heavy-ion events that includes effects of local parity violation, we estimate the experimental correlation signal that could be expected at RHIC given the results of previous measurements that are sensitive to the CME. © 2017 American Physical Society.

Bulk properties of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions from the beam energy scan program - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review C, 2017)
We present measurements of bulk properties of the matter produced in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=7.7,11.5,19.6,27, and 39 GeV using identified hadrons (π±, K±, p, and ¯p) from the STAR experiment in the Beam Energy Scan (BES) Program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Midrapidity (|y|<0.1) results for multiplicity densities dN/dy, average transverse momenta ⟨pT⟩, and particle ratios are presented. The chemical and kinetic freeze-out dynamics at these energies are discussed and presented as a function of collision centrality and energy. These results constitute the systematic measurements of bulk properties of matter formed in heavy-ion collisions over a broad range of energy (or baryon chemical potential) at RHIC.

Exclusion of stellar companions to exoplanet host stars - Wittrock, Justin M.; Kane, Stephen R.; Horch, Elliott P.; Howell, Steve B.; Ciardi, David R.; Everett, Mark E. (The Astronomical Journal, 2017)
Given the frequency of stellar multiplicity in the solar neighborhood, it is important to study the impacts this can have on exoplanet properties and orbital dynamics. There have been numerous imaging survey projects established to detect possible low-mass stellar companions to exoplanet host stars. Here, we provide the results from a systematic speckle imaging survey of known exoplanet host stars. In total, 71 stars were observed at 692 and 880 nm bands using the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument at the Gemini-north Observatory. Our results show that all but two of the stars included in this sample have no evidence of stellar companions with luminosities down to the detection and projected separation limits of our instrumentation. The mass-luminosity relationship is used to estimate the maximum mass a stellar companion can have without being detected. These results are used to discuss the potential for further radial velocity follow-up and interpretation of companion signals. © 2017. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved..

Teaching international business as an opportunity to develop cultural sensitivity - Frank, Ellen J. (Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2017)
Business program graduates are expected to perform with cultural sensitivity in international and intercultural professional environments. In order to support student development of the necessary mindset, a variety of assignments and activities have been integrated into the undergraduate International Business (IB) course. This article describes several types of exercises that can be used by anyone teaching this course or one where cultural sensitivity is an important component. No quantitative data are presented, nor are any claims made to the efficacy of these assignments. But student comments point to increased cultural sensitivity and a better understanding of the issues of globalization. © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

“Keeping the ball rolling”: Addressing the enablers of, and barriers to, sustainable lifestyles - Axon, Stephen (Journal of Environmental Psychology, 2017)
The impetus for addressing climate change is real and present, but its translation into action lacks immediacy and severity, and involves reorientating our lifestyles and economies towards sustainability. Drawing on focus groups conducted in seven UK communities, specific interventions were identified as encouraging change in the short-term, maintaining momentum in the medium-term and sustaining sustainability in the long-term to address various enablers of, and barriers to, sustainable lifestyles. The findings illustrate that there are multiple entry points and influencing periods for sustainable living. Given the importance of the temporal dimension in encouraging and sustaining practices for sustainable lifestyles, the paper advances a “what works” approach to sustainable lifestyles that can be embedded with practical solutions. This approach creates a synergy between what individuals want to do to live sustainably and how they want to do this with interventions that are known to create meaningful lifestyles changes and maintain sustainable living.

Understanding the relationship between network traffic correlation and queueing behavior: A review based on the N-Burst ON/OFF model - Schwefel, Hans-Peter; Antonios, Imad; Lipsky, Lester (Performance Evaluation, 2017)
Understanding the impact of network traffic properties on performance behavior in bottleneck links or larger networks is of primary interest to traffic analysts and network designers. Among the contributing factors, variance and correlation properties have been thoroughly studied and a large set of individual results have been obtained. However, these individual contributing factors are not sufficient to predict performance behavior. In this paper we review a unifying and versatile class of ON/OFF models through which the relationship among these parameters can be characterized and their influence on network performance be understood. The analytic performance results from the model show that there is a radically different queueing behavior when the ON period duration follows truncated power-tail distributions (even if truncated), as opposed to model variants where these distribution types are used for the OFF periods. All these models create correlation functions that only decay slowly. This motivates the development of a simple data analysis scheme to distinguish performance relevant correlation. The scheme is described both for interarrival and count processes of traffic data and its effectiveness is shown using real data traces.

Forecasting of Chinese primary energy consumption in 2021 with GRU artificial neural network - Liu, Bingchun; Fu, Chuanchuan; Bielefield, Arlene; Liu, Yan Quan (Energies, 2017)
The forecasting of energy consumption in China is a key requirement for achieving national energy security and energy planning. In this study, multi-variable linear regression (MLR) and support vector regression (SVR) were utilized with a gated recurrent unit (GRU) artificial neural network of Chinese energy to establish a forecasting model. The derived model was validated through four economic variables; the gross domestic product (GDP), population, imports, and exports. The performance of various forecasting models was assessed via MAPE and RMSE, and three scenarios were configured based on different sources of variable data. In predicting Chinese energy consumption from 2015 to 2021, results from the established GRU model of the highest predictive accuracy showed that Chinese energy consumption would be likely to fluctuate from 2954.04 Mtoe to 5618.67 Mtoe in 2021.

Predicting students' graduation outcomes through support vector machines - Pang, Yulei; Judd, Nicolas; O'Brien, Joseph; Ben-Avie, Michael (2017 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2017)
Low graduation rate is a significant and growing problem in U.S. higher education systems. Although previous studies have demonstrated the usefulness of building statistical models for predicting students' graduation outcomes, advanced machine learning models promise to improve the effectiveness of these models, and hone in on the “difference that makes a difference” not only on the group level, but also on the level of the individual student. In this paper we propose an ensemble support vector machines based model for predicting students' graduation. Up to about 100 features, including a set of psychological-educational factors, were employed to construct the predicting model. We evaluated the proposed model using data taken from a state university's longitudinal, cohort data sets from the incoming classes of students from 2011-2012 (n=350). The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the model, with considerable accuracy, precision, and recall. This paper presents the results of analysis that were conducted in order to gauge the predictive capability of a machine learning algorithm to predict on-time graduation that took into consideration students' learning and development.

Spleen elegy - Labbe, Jason (BlazeVOX [books], 2017)
Let’s twin and twine together two primary aspects of how America can see herself—the good atoms of Whitman’s leaves of grass, and the engines humming their freedom on the highways that cut across those 19th century fields. Now, Jason Labbe well knows, as Whitman’s atoms become pixels, we find ourselves at a crossroads, learning again and again the consequences of “the indescribable way you shape / a past of little use.” Seeking to find that law or logic to shattering, be it in the memory-echo of personal trauma caught on infinite loop in the mind, or be it the dismal virtualities of the post-modern ether, the poems of Spleen Elegy unfold their rueful nostalgia: “I have something accurate to say that lacks perspective.” That may well be the very accuracy we most need, riding the routes of America, the byways and frontage roads, seeking anyone who is willing for a poem or two to see. —Dan Beachy-Quick "A chunk of broken tar”—that's the color of this book. And the sound of this book is "a train in the static." Its poems count time in "decaseconds of dusk." To read this book is to feel the uneasy passivity and unerring stuckness, the particular absurdity, of certain citizens stuck in this millennium. So many lines made me laugh. And sigh. But not cry. Jason Labbe is great at melancholy. Baudelaire's mosquito is definitely here: "I am Past / who passing lit and sucked your life and left." The future is unthinkable and unalterable. Except. Except! Lucretius' swerve is also here. Atoms may veer randomly, which is extra significant in a book that takes place mostly on the road. "My sutures are beautiful as a tread pattern," he says, and it is easy (and dangerous) to fall in love with Labbe's strangled version of optimism. —Darcie Dennigan

Inclusive pedagogy for English language learners: A handbook of research-informed practices - Verplaetse, Lorrie Stoops; Migliacci, Naomi (Routledge, 2017)
In this Handbook leading researchers, teacher educators, and expert practitioners speak to current and future educators and educational leaders in understandable language about the research that informs best practices for English language learners integrated into the K-12 public school system. Responding to current state and federal mandates that require educators to link their practices to sound research results, it is designed to help educators to define, select, and defend realistic educational practices that include and serve well their English language learning student populations. A critical and distinctive feature of this volume is its non-technical language that is accessible to general educators who have not been trained in the fields of second-language development and applied linguistics. Each chapter begins with a thorough discussion of the recommended practices, followed by a description of the research that supports these practices. The rigor of reported research is contained, but this research is written in a lay person’s terminology, accompanied by bibliographies for readers who wish to read about the research in technical detail. The volume is structured around four themes:• In the Elementary Classroom• In the Middle and Secondary Classroom• School and Community Collaboration• School and District Reform. Inclusive Pedagogy for English Language Learners is intended for current and future educational administrators, all educators who have a keen interest in school reform at the classroom, school, or district level, and staff developers, policy makers, parents and community groups, and anyone interested in the successful education of linguistically and culturally diverse students.

Waiting for shelter: Perspectives on a homeless shelter's procedures - Brown, Molly; Mihelicova, Martina; Lyons, Jennifer; DeFonzo, Jennifer; Torello, Samantha; Carrion, Andres; Ponce, Allison N. (Journal of Community Psychology, 2017)
Research on homeless shelter implementation is limited. Some shelters have lengthy waitlists, which raises important questions about implications of waitlists for individuals with immediate shelter needs. This study used qualitative methods to understand the experiences of shelter seekers who were on a shelter waitlist (N = 59), including individuals who entered the shelter from the waitlist, and those removed from the shelter waitlist for procedural reasons. The average waitlist time was nearly 3 weeks, and 22.0% stayed at least one night on the street or another public place while on the waitlist. Responses to open-ended questions regarding barriers and effectiveness of the shelter referral procedures revealed 4 themes: procedural challenges, procedural benefits, benefits of the temporary stay, and communication challenges. Further research is needed to inform shelter implementation on a larger scale in accordance with current community-wide efforts to coordinate shelter services.

The elderly and the opioid epidemic: A case study - Green, Cheryl A. (Addictive Disorders & Their Treatment, 2017)
Opioid addiction is a problem within the United States that is impacting all age groups. The elderly are a population that is seldom discussed as being affected by opioids. Physiologically, the older adult is more susceptible for complications associated with an alteration in pharmacokinetics and late diagnosis of diseases such as viral hepatitis C. Health promotion for this population is imperative in the prevention and treatment of opioid addiction problems.

Energy dependence of J/ψ production in Au + Au collisions at √sNN=39,62.4 and 200GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physics Letters B, 2017)
The inclusive J/ψ transverse momentum spectra and nuclear modification factors are reported at mid-rapidity (|y|<1.0) in Au + Au collisions at sNN = 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV taken by the STAR experiment. A suppression of J/ψ production, with respect to the production in p+p scaled by the number of binary nucleon–nucleon collisions, is observed in central Au + Au collisions at these three energies. No significant energy dependence of nuclear modification factors is found within uncertainties. The measured nuclear modification factors can be described by model calculations that take into account both suppression of direct J/ψ production due to the color screening effect and J/ψ regeneration from recombination of uncorrelated charm–anticharm quark pairs. © 2017 The Author

Land-use change at temporary group-housing sites in post-Katrina Louisiana - Zavar, Elyse; Hagelman, III, Ronald; Lavy, Brendan; Prince, Benjamin (Natural Hazards Review, 2017)
To shelter the large number of displaced households following Hurricane Katrina (2005), FEMA, in conjunction with local governments, established 110 temporary group-housing sites throughout impacted Louisiana. The purpose of this study is to identify how temporary group-housing sites influenced the land use of post-Katrina Louisiana. Using aerial imagery, this study assessed the land use of each temporary group-housing site prior to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and again in 2010. Of the 110 group-housing sites, 54.5% reverted to the previous land use, 29.1% returned to the previous land use with improvements, and 16.3% of the sites changed land use. Using census data from 2000 and 2010, site characteristics, and property records, this study employed a multinomial logistic regression to identify statistically significant variables in predicting land-use change in post-Katrina Louisiana. The results indicate that, especially in neighborhoods with high demand for land, FEMA temporary group-housing sites tended to be redeveloped into new land uses.

Development of the citizens measure into a tool to guide clinical practice and its utility for case managers - Bellamy, Chyrell; Kriegel, Liat; Barrenger, Stacey L.; Klimczak, Michele; Rakfeldt, Jaak; Benson, Victoria; Baker, Michaella; Benedict, Patricia; Williamson, Bridgett; MacIntyre, Gillian (American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, 2017)
A measure of citizenship was developed and validated by Rowe and colleagues (O’Connell, Clayton, & Rowe, 2017). The items clustered around the 5 Rs of citizenship as defined by Rowe et al.: relationships, rights, resources, roles, and rights, and a sense of belonging. Although a measure has its utility in clinical settings, to address time constraints and other administrative burdens expressed by providers in their day-to-day practice, a citizens tool was developed as a practical way that providers can enhance dialogue between providers and clients on citizenship for clients served in mental health and criminal justice reentry settings. This article describes the development of the tool, testing of the tool’s utility with case managers, and implications for practice. © 2017 Taylor & Francis.

The bilingual reading practices and performance of two Hispanic first graders - López-Velásquez, Angela M.; García, Georgia Earnest (Bilingual Research Journal, 2017)
This qualitative study used a sociocultural lens to examine how two bilingual Hispanic first-grade girls demonstrated bilingual reading practices (i.e., heteroglossia and translanguaging) as they discussed and read texts in Spanish and English. One girl predominantly received school reading instruction in Spanish, while the other received school reading instruction in English. They both participated in Spanish reading at home. The school reading instruction employed Spanish or English versions of Success for All, and emphasized word recognition strategies appropriate for the language of instruction along with meaning-making strategies. In April, the two girls scored mid- to end-of first grade on a curriculum-based reading assessment in the language of instruction. Neither of them received biliteracy instruction. Their reading levels in the instructional language and exposure to the other language appeared to be sufficient for them to develop and demonstrate heteroglossic practices. Bilingual dynamic reading assessments and home reading sessions with a bilingual researcher revealed that both girls utilized bilingual reading practices to discuss and comprehend texts in their non-instructional or alternate language. One of the girls also used bilingual reading practices to discuss texts in the instructional language. To read in the alternate language, they both employed word-recognition and meaning-making strategies, which had been emphasized in their school reading instruction. However, one girl’s attempt to use a decoding strategy she had learned in English (i.e., onset-rime) to decode unfamiliar Spanish words did not work effectively. Implications are delineated for the bilingual reading instruction and assessment of young bilingual children.

Direct virtual photon production in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV - STAR Collaboration (Physics Letters B, 2017)
We report the direct virtual photon invariant yields in the transverse momentum ranges 1<pT<3 GeV/c and 5<pT<10 GeV/c at mid-rapidity derived from the dielectron invariant mass continuum region 0.10<Mee<0.28 GeV/c2 for 0–80% minimum-bias Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV. A clear excess in the invariant yield compared to the nuclear overlap function TAA scaled p+p reference is observed in the pT range 1<pT<3 GeV/c. For pT>6 GeV/c the production follows TAA scaling. Model calculations with contributions from thermal radiation and initial hard parton scattering are consistent within uncertainties with the direct virtual photon invariant yield. © 2017 The Author

Visioning hope: embracing higher education's role with urban public charter schools - Bergeron, Bette S. (Urban Education, 2017)
The purpose of this study is to reflect on the evolution of a partnership between a university and urban charter high school serving a predominately African American population. Because of the author's embeddedness both as the researcher and participant member, this research assumes the paradigm of autoethnography. Reflections on key components of this evolution provide implications for teacher education, particularly in regard to a call for engagement between urban charter schools and educator preparation programs, and a challenge to higher education to analyze existing perceptions of public charter schools within a wider institutional mission to prepare educators for all children.

Counseling strategies for empowering people living in poverty: the I‐CARE model - Foss-Kelly, Louisa L.; Generali, Margaret M.; Kress, Victoria E. (Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, 2017)
Poverty has an impact on mental health and the counseling process in profound ways; however, counselors may fail to recognize the importance of poverty in clients' lives. The authors propose a model to help counselors navigate the complexities of counseling clients who are living in poverty. The I-CARE Model may help counselors develop insight about personal biases, acknowledge harsh realities of poverty, remove barriers to growth, and expand on the clients' own strengths.

Personality, Emotional Qualities of Leisure, and Subjective Well-Being in the Elderly. - Kahlbaugh, Patricia; Huffman, Loreen (International journal of aging & human development, 2017)
In this study, we examined personality traits of older adults and their emotional experiences associated with engaging in specific leisure activities. Older individuals (17 males, 32 females), ages ranging from 65 to 97 years (mean age 74), completed measures of Big Five personality traits, positive and negative affect, subjective well-being (SWB), independent functioning, and an emotion-activity inventory. As expected, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to experience were related to positive affect, while Neuroticism was related to negative affect. Openness and Agreeableness were related to positive emotions experienced in social and cognitive domains, and Agreeableness was related to greater SWB, greater positive affect, and more positively experienced activities. Neuroticism was related to lower SWB and fewer positively experienced activities. These findings suggest that assessing the fit between personality and emotions experienced during activities should be considered when creating programs tailored to elderly individuals, with the goal of encouraging more active and rewarding lives.

Snacking, satiety, and weight: A randomized, controlled trial - Njike, Valentine Yanchou; Kavak, Yasemin; Treu, Judith A.; Doughty, Kimberly; Katz, David L. (American Journal of Health Promotion, 2017)
Purpose. To compare the effects of nut-based snack bars (NBSB) vs. prepackaged 200-kcal portions of typical conventional snack foods, when consumed over a 12-week period by a group of overweight adults. Design. Randomized, single-blind parallel design with two treatment groups. Setting. Clinical trial. Subjects. Thirty-four overweight participants were enrolled. Intervention. Commercially available NBSB or conventional snack foods as part of an ad libitum diet for 12 weeks. Measures. Primary outcome measures: body mass index, body weight, body composition, waist circumference. Secondary outcome measures: blood pressure, lipid profile, nutrients intake, hunger/satiety, quality of life. Analysis. Generalized linear models with time as repeated measure were used to analyze these data. Results. Daily consumption of NBSB for 12 weeks, as compared to daily consumption of conventional snacks, significantly reduced percentage body fat (-1.7% +/- 10.8% vs. 6.2% 6 9.3%; p = .04) and visceral fat (-1.3 +/- 5.9 vs. 2.7 +/- 4.0; p = .03). There were no between-group differences (p ¿ .05) for blood pressure, lipid panel, satiety, or quality of life measures. Conclusion. Our data suggest that daily consumption of NBSB for 12 weeks reduced body fat and had no adverse effects on weight, blood pressure, lipid profile, satiety, or quality of life in this small sample of overweight adults.

Stale economic news, media and the stock market - Birz, Gene (Journal of Economic Psychology, 2017)
I employ a classification of headlines from newspapers and wire services to examine whether stale macroeconomic news affects stock prices. Unlike with individual stocks, the cost of obtaining information about major economic releases is relatively low. Thus, stock prices should adjust to economic news announcements prior to their coverage in newspapers. I find statistically and economically significant relationship between stale news stories on unemployment and next week's S&P 500 returns. This effect is then completely reversed during the following week. These findings show that investors are affected by salient information and support the hypothesis that investors overreact to stale macroeconomic news reported in newspapers. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Determination of critical cooling rates in metallic glass forming alloy libraries through laser spike annealing. - Bordeenithikasem, Punnathat; Liu, Jingbei; Kube, Sebastian A; Li, Yanglin; Ma, Tianxing; Scanley, B Ellen; Broadbridge, Christine C; Vlassak, Joost J; Singer, Jonathan P; Schroers, Jan (Scientific reports, 2017)
The glass forming ability (GFA) of metallic glasses (MGs) is quantified by the critical cooling rate (R C). Despite its key role in MG research, experimental challenges have limited measured R C to a minute fraction of known glass formers. We present a combinatorial approach to directly measure R C for large compositional ranges. This is realized through the use of compositionally-graded alloy libraries, which were photo-thermally heated by scanning laser spike annealing of an absorbing layer, then melted and cooled at various rates. Coupled with X-ray diffraction mapping, GFA is determined from direct R C measurements. We exemplify this technique for the Au-Cu-Si system, where we identify Au56Cu27Si17 as the alloy with the highest GFA. In general, this method enables measurements of R C over large compositional areas, which is powerful for materials discovery and, when correlating with chemistry and other properties, for a deeper understanding of MG formation.

Environmental exposure does not explain putative maladaptation in road-adjacent populations. - Brady, Steven P (Oecologia, 2017)
While the ecological consequences of roads are well described, little is known of their role as agents of natural selection, which can shape adaptive and maladaptive responses in populations influenced by roads. This knowledge gap persists despite a growing appreciation for the influence of evolution in human-altered environments. There, insights indicate that natural selection typically results in local adaptation. Thus, populations influenced by road-induced selection should evolve fitness advantages in their local environment. Contrary to this expectation, wood frog tadpoles from roadside populations show evidence of a fitness disadvantage, consistent with local maladaptation. Specifically, in reciprocal transplants, roadside populations survive at lower rates compared to populations away from roads. A key question remaining is whether roadside environmental conditions experienced by early stage embryos induce this outcome. This represents an important missing piece in evaluating the evolutionary nature of this maladaptation pattern. Here, I address this gap using a reciprocal transplant experiment designed to test the hypothesis that embryonic exposure to roadside pond water induces a survival disadvantage. Contrary to this hypothesis, my results show that reduced survival persists when embryonic exposure is controlled. This outcome indicates that the survival disadvantage is parentally mediated, either genetically and/or through inherited environmental effects. This result suggests that roadside populations are either truly maladapted or potentially locally adapted at later life stages. I discuss these interpretations, noting that regardless of mechanism, patterns consistent with maladaptation have important implications for conservation. In light of the pervasiveness of roads, further resolution explaining maladaptive responses remains a critical challenge in conservation.

Positive sire effects and adaptive genotype by environment interaction occur despite pattern of local maladaptation in roadside populations of an amphibian - Brady, Steven P.; Goedert, Debora (Copeia, 2017)
The global road network causes many negative ecological effects. Contrasting our knowledge of these effects, insights into evolutionary consequences of roads remain undeveloped. Here, we study a suite of populations of the Wood Frog that appear to be evolving maladaptively in response to road-adjacency. Specifically, when raised together in roadside pools, roadside populations survive at lower rates compared to populations away from roads. To begin to understand the cause of this survival disadvantage, we investigated potential parental and genetic sources of maladaptation. First, to assess whether parental effects might induce maladaptation, we measured adult body weight to length ratio ('relative weight') and its influence on offspring survival in a reciprocal transplant experiment across 12 populations. Next, to assess whether genetic effects might limit adaptive responses in offspring, we estimated genetic correlations between environments for survival and fitness-related traits. We found that relative weight was higher in roadside populations and, for males, had a positive influence on offspring survival. This demonstrates a novel transgenerational effect of Wood Frog adult males but suggests that this effect is not causing maladaptive survival. Genetic correlations indicated that a subset of roadside genotypes respond adaptively to road-adjacency despite population level maladaptive survival. This suggests that metapopulation dynamics and/or high levels of nonadditive genetic variance may be limiting adaptation or that insufficient time has elapsed for adaptation to occur. Together, these results highlight the complexity and scale of responses to a pervasive feature of landscape alteration revealed by evolutionary approaches.

Sentiment analysis of the correlation between regular tweets and retweets - Chen, Jundong; Li, He; Wu, Zeju; Hossain, Md Shafaeat (2017 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Network Computing and Applications (NCA), 2017)
In this paper, we study the influence from the sentiment of regular tweets on retweeting. We propose a method to calculate the sentiment score for each tweet and each Twitter user. This method enables us to place the tweets and retweets into the same time period to explore the sentiment factor. We adopt the correlation coefficient between the sentiment scores of regular tweets and those of retweets to measure the influence. We categorize the Twitter users in three different ways to investigate three factors, which are the number of followers, betweenness centrality and the types of accounts. Community detection and machine learning are integrated into our approach. We find that the difference for correlation coefficients exists between different levels of the number of followers, and different types of users. Our method sheds a light on better predicting the dynamics of tweets diffusion by including the sentiment factor into the prediction model. © 2017 IEEE.

Equitable access: Information seeking behavior, information needs, and necessary library accommodations for transgender patrons - Drake, Aubri A.; Bielefield, Arlene (Library & Information Science Research, 2017)
This study highlights the unique accommodations integral to welcoming transgender library patrons. Research shows transgender people have unique needs which differ from lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) individuals, and experience substantial barriers to obtaining quality library service. Most studies in the past exploring the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender library users focused exclusively on LGBQ users. This study surveyed adult transgender individuals (n = 102) with an online questionnaire. The majority of participants were white, designated female at birth, and under 40 years old. Survey respondents needed libraries to make accommodations for them to feel safe (p ¡ 0.001). The top 5 accommodations needed were recent transgender literature, gender identity or expression as part of library nondiscrimination policy, gender neutral, single-stall bathrooms where a key did not need to be requested, recent LGBQ literature), and an established remote process for name change.

Dose of physical activity, physical functioning and disability risk in mobility-limited older adults: Results from the LIFE study randomized trial. - Fielding, Roger A; Guralnik, Jack M; King, Abby C; Pahor, Marco; McDermott, Mary M; Tudor-Locke, Catrine; Manini, Todd M; Glynn, Nancy W; Marsh, Anthony P; Axtell, Robert S; Hsu, Fang-Chi; Rejeski, W Jack; et al. (PLoS ONE, 2017)
Understanding the minimal dose of physical activity required to achieve improvement in physical functioning and reductions in disability risk is necessary to inform public health recommendations. To examine the effect of physical activity dose on changes in physical functioning and the onset of major mobility disability in The Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) Study. We conducted a multicenter single masked randomized controlled trial that enrolled participants in 2010 and 2011 and followed them for an average of 2.6 years. 1,635 sedentary men and women aged 70-89 years who had functional limitations were randomized to a structured moderate intensity walking, resistance, and flexibility physical activity program or a health education program. Physical activity dose was assessed by 7-day accelerometry and self-report at baseline and 24 months. Outcomes included the 400 m walk gait speed, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months, and onset of major mobility disability (objectively defined by loss of ability to walk 400 m in 15 min). When the physical activity arm or the entire sample were stratified by change in physical activity from baseline to 24 months, there was a dose-dependent increase in the change in gait speed and SPPB from baseline at 6, 12, and 24 months. In addition, the magnitude of change in physical activity over 24 months was related to the reduction in the onset of major mobility disability (overall P < 0.001) (highest versus the lowest quartile of physical activity change HR 0.23 ((95% CI:0.10-0.52) P = 0.001) in the physical activity arm. We observed a dose-dependent effect of objectively monitored physical activity on physical functioning and onset of major mobility disability. Relatively small increases (> 48 minutes per week) in regular physical activity participation had significant and clinically meaningful effects on these outcomes., TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalsTrials.gov NCT00116194.

How valid are old species lists? How archived samples can be used to update Ephemeroptera biodiversity information for northern Canada - Giberson, Donna J.; Burian, Steven K. (The Canadian Entomologist, 2017)
Abstract Broad-scale aquatic insect ecological studies are an important potential source of biodiversity information, though taxa lists may contain outdated names or be incompletely or incorrectly identified. We re-examined over 12 000 archived Ephemeroptera (mayfly) specimens from a large environmental assessment project (Mackenzie Valley pipeline study) in Yukon and the Northwest Territories, Canada (1971–1973) and compared the results to data from five recent (post-2000) collecting expeditions. Our goals were to update the species list for Ephemeroptera for Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and to evaluate the benefits of retaining and re-examining ecological samples to improve regional biodiversity information, particularly in isolated or inaccessible areas. The original pipeline study specimen labels reported 17 species in 25 genera for the combined Yukon and Northwest Territories samples, of which six species and 15 genera are still valid. Re-examination of specimens resulted in 45 species in 29 genera, with 14 and seven newly recorded species for Northwest Territories and Yukon, respectively. The recent collecting resulted in 50 species, 29 of which were different from the pipeline study, and five of which were new territorial records (Northwest Territories: four species; Yukon: one species). Re-examination of archived ecological specimens provides a cost-effective way to update regional biodiversity information.

Device-measured physical activity as a predictor of disability in mobility-limited older adults - Mankowski, Robert T.; Anton, Stephen D.; Axtell, Robert; Chen, Shyh-Huei; Fielding, Roger A.; Glynn, Nancy W.; Hsu, Fang-Chi; King, Abby C.; Layne, Andrew S.; Leeuwenburgh, Christiaan; Manini, Todd M.; Marsh, Anthony P.; et al. (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2017)
OBJECTIVES: To examine associations between objectively measured physical activity (PA) and incidence of major mobility disability (MMD) and persistent MMD (PMMD) in older adults in the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) Study. DESIGN: Prospective cohort of individuals aged 65 and older undergoing structured PA intervention or health education. SETTING: The LIFE Study was a multicenter (eight sites) randomized controlled trial designed to compare the efficacy of a long-term structured PA intervention with that of a health education (HE) program in reducing the incidence of MMD in mobility-limited older adults. PARTICIPANTS: LIFE Study participants (n = 1,590) had a mean age +/- standard deviation of 78.9 +/- 5.2, low levels of PA, and measured mobility-relevant functional impairment at baseline. MEASUREMENTS: Activity data were collected using hip-worn 7-day accelerometers at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months after randomization to test for associations with incident MMD and PMMD (¿= 2 consecutive instances of MMD). RESULTS: At baseline, every 30 minutes spent being sedentary (¡100 accelerometry counts per minute) was associated with higher rate of subsequent MMD (10%) and PMMD (11%) events. Every 500 steps taken was associated with lower rate of MMD (15%) and PMMD (18%). Similar associations were observed when fitting accelerometry-based PA as a time-dependent variable. CONCLUSION: Accelerometry-based PA levels were strongly associated with MMD and PMMD events in older adults with limited mobility. These results support the importance of daily PA and lower amounts of sedentary time levels in this population and suggest that accelerometry may be a useful tool for assessing risk of mobility disability.

Culturally responsive practice and the role of school administrators - Minkos, Marlena L.; Sassu, Kari A.; Gregory, Jess L.; Patwa, Shamim S.; Theodore, Lea A.; Femc-Bagwell, Michele (Psychology in the Schools, 2017)
In recent years, student populations within public schools in the United States have become increasingly diverse, both culturally and linguistically, and are projected to continue to grow in diversity in the future. Consequently, educators must be prepared to support the needs and education of students with multicultural backgrounds who may differ from them. School administrators play an important role in creating safe, accepting school environments and guiding the education of diverse student populations. However, there is a need for additional guidance for school leaders in cultivating schools that promote equity for all students. Using the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA) Professional Standards for Educational Leaders as a guiding framework, this paper provides practical suggestions regarding culturally responsive strategies and practices that school administrators might employ in leading diverse school communities.
