The ins and outs of posttraumatic growth in children and adolescents: A systematic review of factors that matter - Ferris, Cheyenne; O'Brien, Kyle (Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2022)
Posttraumatic growth (PTG) refers to a positive psychological change that occurs following a seismic and highly challenging life circumstance. An individual who experiences PTG reports posttrauma development that surpasses their baseline level of pretrauma function in various domains. The present systematic review of the current literature aimed to explore factors related to the development of PTG in children and adolescents exposed to trauma. Included studies investigated a range of factors that impact PTG development in youth from five countries: the United States, Israel, China, Japan, and Norway. Studies addressed multiple types of traumatic experiences, including medical trauma, war- and terror-related trauma, and environmental trauma. Findings suggested that factors that impact the development of PTG include the presence of posttraumatic stress symptoms, specifically intrusiveness, and cognitive factors, such as the use of positive reappraisal and deliberate rumination. Many factors demonstrated inconsistencies across studies, such as the impact of age, gender, social support, and parent factors. The findings from this systematic research study encourage the notion that certain clinical intervention strategies, such as deliberate rumination, positive reappraisal coping strategies, and trauma-informed group therapy, may facilitate growth in trauma survivors. Future research should test if these intervention strategies directly impact growth and whether there is an evidence-based form of intervention that can assist clinicians in taking a growth- and strengths-based perspective after trauma.

New England Town Meeting and the Cultivation of Deliberative Play - Townsend, Rebecca M.; Milburn, Trudy (American Behavioral Scientist, 2022)
Participants of New England town meeting must follow protocols to participate in this direct democratic process. Over the past 200 years, the protocols have been enacted and adapted by participants in small towns across the region. Within annual meetings, one can find small breaches that could be interpreted as playful acts. In this paper, we use the comic frame as a theoretical lens to interpret instances of such play within the rhetorical deliberation of one New England town meeting. We analyze two instances where speakers playfully use recognized parts of town meeting to achieve their rhetorical ends. We conclude with a discussion of the way play can help accomplish identification in public discourse.

Cognitive-Affective Styles of Biden and Trump Supporters: An Automated Text Analysis Study - Abe, Jo Ann A. (Social Psychological and Personality Science, 2022)
Are conservatives more simple-minded and happier than liberals? To revisit this question, 1,518 demographically diverse participants (52% females) were recruited from an online participant-sourcing platform and asked to write a narrative about the upcoming 2020 U.S. Presidential Election as well as complete self and candidates’ ratings of personality. The narratives were analyzed using three well-validated text analysis programs. As expected, extremely enthusiastic Trump supporters used less cognitively complex and more confident language than both their less enthusiastic counterparts and Biden supporters. Trump supporters also used more positive affective language than Biden supporters. More simplistic and categorical modes of thinking as well as positive emotional tone were also associated with positive perceptions of Trump’s, but not Biden’s personality. Dialectical complexity and positive emotional tone accounted for significant unique variance in predicting appraisals of Trump’s trustworthiness/integrity even after controlling for demographic variables, self-ratings of conscientiousness and openness, and political affiliation.

Improving Psychological and Emotional Well-Being of the First-Year College Students - Robinson, Dyan; Yavuz, Olcay (FIRE: Futuristic Implementations of Research in Education, 2021)
Almost half of the students who begin college are not retained at the institution in which they began. The purpose of this research was to explore the perceptions of first-year college students to improve their psychological and emotional well-being.  This quantitative study utilized the College Student Mentoring Scale that includes two interrelated constructs which are, Psychological and Emotional Support and The Existence of a Role Model. The research found that multiple factors impact first-year students' perceptions of their psychological and emotional well-being. Additional findings indicated that response levels were highest for The Existence of a Role Model.  It is the intention that this study will add to the somewhat limited research on improving the psychological and emotional well-being of first-year college students in higher education. Also, it will assist in future policies and practices by providing a foundation of the components that influence first-year student success through improving the effectiveness of peer mentoring programs.

Bidirectional reservoir networks trained using SVM$$+$$privileged information for manufacturing process modeling - Rodan, Ali; Sheta, Alaa F.; Faris, Hossam (Soft Computing, 2017)
In the last decade, a wide range of machine learning approaches were proposed and experimented to model highly nonlinear manufacturing processes. However, improving the performance of such models is challenging due to the complexity and high dimensionality of the manufacturing processes in general. In this paper, we propose bidirectional echo state reservoir networks (Bi-ESNs) trained using support vector machine privileged information method (SVM$$+$$) to model a winding machine process. The proposed model will be applied, tested and compared to reported models in the literature such as classical ESN with linear regression, ESN with a linear SVM readout, genetic programming, feedfoward neural network with backpropagation, radial basis function network, adaptive neural fuzzy inference system and local linear wavelet neural network. The developed results show that Bi-ESNs trained with SVM$$+$$are promising. It was able to provide better generalization performance compared to other models.

Salted roads lead to oedema and reduced locomotor function in amphibian populations - Brady, S.P.; Goedert, D.; Frymus, L.E.; Zamora-Camacho, F.J.; Smith, P.C.; Zeiss, C.J.; Comas, M.; Abbott, T.A.; Basu, S.P.; DeAndressi, J.C.; Forgione, M.E.; Maloney, M.J.; et al. (Freshwater Biology, 2022)
Human activities have caused massive losses of natural populations across the globe. Like many groups, amphibians have experienced substantial declines worldwide, driven by environmental changes such as habitat conversion, pollution, and disease emergence. Each of these drivers is often found in close association with the presence of roads. Here we report a novel consequence of roads affecting an amphibian native to much of North America, the wood frog (Rana sylvatica). Across 38 populations distributed from southern to central New England, we found that adult wood frogs living adjacent to roads had higher incidence and severity of oedema (indicated by obvious bloating caused by subcutaneous fluid accumulation) during the breeding season than frogs living away from the influence of roads. This effect was best explained by increased conductivity of breeding ponds, probably caused by runoff pollution from road salt used for de-icing. Oedema severity was negatively correlated with locomotor performance in more northerly populations. Interestingly, northern populations experience more intense winters, which tends to result in more de-icing salt runoff and increased energetic demands associated with overwintering cryoprotection needs. Thus, this emerging consequence of roads appears to impose potential fitness costs associated with locomotion, and these effects might be most impactful on populations living in regions where de-icing is most intense. Together, our findings reveal a novel set of impacts of roads and runoff pollution on wood frog physiology and performance, which seem likely to contribute to population decline. Given the global prevalence of roads and increasing salinisation of freshwater habitats, oedema and related impacts could be widespread consequences faced by amphibian populations across much of the planet's temperate zones. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

High school mathematics teachers’ discernment of invariant properties in a dynamic geometry environment - Nagar, G.G.; Hegedus, S.; Orrill, C.H. (Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022)
Variance and invariance are two powerful mathematical ideas to support geometrical and spatial thinking, yet there is limited research about teachers’ knowledge of variance and invariance. In this paper, we examined how high school teachers deal with the task of looking for invariant properties in a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) setting. Specifically, we investigated if they even attend to invariant properties; what invariant properties they discern and discuss; and how DGE can support such discernment. Our analysis found that teachers tend to discern and discuss invariant properties mainly when they were probed to consider invariance. We also found four categories of invariant properties that seem to be important for a robust and rich understanding of geometric objects in the context of invariance and DGE. The use of DGE allowed teachers to see and interact with invariant properties, thus suggesting that accessing geometry dynamically may have structural affordances especially when exploring invariance. Teachers were able to enact different DGE movements to discern and discuss invariant properties, as well as to reason with and about them. We also saw that teachers’ backgrounds and past experiences can play an important role in their descriptions of invariant properties. Possible future research directions and implications to teacher education are discussed. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.

Probing the Gluonic Structure of the Deuteron with J/ψ Photoproduction in d+Au Ultraperipheral Collisions - STAR Collaboration (Physical Review Letters, 2022)
Understanding gluon density distributions and how they are modified in nuclei are among the most important goals in nuclear physics. In recent years, diffractive vector meson production measured in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at heavy-ion colliders has provided a new tool for probing the gluon density. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of J/ψ photoproduction off the deuteron in UPCs at the center-of-mass energy sNN=200 GeV in d+Au collisions. The differential cross section as a function of momentum transfer -t is measured. In addition, data with a neutron tagged in the deuteron-going zero-degree calorimeter is investigated for the first time, which is found to be consistent with the expectation of incoherent diffractive scattering at low momentum transfer. Theoretical predictions based on the color glass condensate saturation model and the leading twist approximation nuclear shadowing model are compared with the data quantitatively. A better agreement with the saturation model has been observed. With the current measurement, the results are found to be directly sensitive to the gluon density distribution of the deuteron and the deuteron breakup process, which provides insights into the nuclear gluonic structure. © 2022 American Physical Society.

The Solar Neighborhood. XLIX. New Discoveries and Orbits of M-dwarf Multiples with Speckle Interferometry at SOAR - Vrijmoet, E.H.; Tokovinin, A.; Henry, T.J.; Winters, J.G.; Horch, E.; Jao, W.-C. (Astronomical Journal, 2022)
We present the first results of a multiyear program to map the orbits of M-dwarf multiples within 25 pc. The observations were conducted primarily during 2019-2020 using speckle interferometry at the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope in Chile, using the High-Resolution Camera mounted on the adaptive optics module (HRCam+SAM). The sample of nearby M dwarfs is drawn from three sources: multiples from the RECONS long-term astrometric monitoring program at the SMARTS 0.9 m; known multiples, for which these new observations will enable or improve orbit fits; and candidate multiples flagged by their astrometric fits in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2). We surveyed 333 of our 338 M dwarfs via 830 speckle observations, detecting companions for 63% of the stars. Most notably, this includes new companions for 76% of the subset selected from Gaia DR2. In all, we report the first direct detections of 97 new stellar companions to the observed M dwarfs. Here we present the properties of those detections, the limits of each nondetection, and five orbits with periods 0.67-29 yr already observed as part of this program. Companions detected have projected separations of 0.″024-2.″0 (0.25-66 au) from their primaries and have ΔI ≲ 5.0 mag. This multiyear campaign will ultimately map complete orbits for nearby M dwarfs with periods up to 3 yr, and provide key epochs to stretch orbital determinations for binaries to 30 yr. © 2022.

Zoom gesture analysis for age-inappropriate internet content filtering - Pulfrey, J.; Hossain, M.S. (Expert Systems with Applications, 2022)
The Internet contains large amounts of adult content. With only a few taps, or mis-taps, an under-aged user can be exposed to age-inappropriate content. Currently, this can be avoided by creating age-restricted profiles or restricting users to child-friendly applications (apps). However, these existing measures are time-consuming, laborious, and require a higher level of technical literacy than many parents can afford. We believe a better solution is to use a browser or an app that automatically detects the user's age then applies any appropriate content filters. For such a browser/app to be developed, we must learn that age estimation can indeed be performed with an acceptable rate of error. To that end, we created an Android app that collects biometric touchscreen data from elementary school, middle school, high school, and university students. Touch samples were collected from participants aged 5 to 61 on both smartphones and tablets. We focused exclusively on zoom-in and zoom-out touchscreen data samples. We made this decision because we found the zoom gesture to be rich with data and highly used among the most popular applications. Furthermore, we identify a niche within the current research landscape: no other machine learning experiments have leveraged the benefits of the zoom gesture for age estimation. We collected a total of 41,911 zoom data samples. From each zoom sample, 90 features were extracted. Those features were then used to train and test on six regressors and six classifiers to build a method that can accurately estimate the user's age from their touchscreen behavior. The regressors performed with the best mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 2.27 and 2.54 years for smartphones and tablets, respectively. The classifiers performed with the best accuracies of 90% and 91% for smartphones and tablets, respectively. Given these results, it is our belief that not only is touch-based age estimation viable, but developing a child-safe browser or a parental control app with this underlying technology is a worthwhile endeavor. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

A comparison of the relative abundance and size of Juvenile winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, in natural intertidal and anthropogenically altered marina habitats - Carlson, J.K.; Mroczka, M.E.; Randall, T.A.; Pellegrino, P.E. (Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science, 2000)
The relative abundance and size distributions of juvenile winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, were compared in two areas; an anthropogenically altered marina basin and a natural intertidal flat habitat. Winter flounder were sampled from March through November 1990-95 with a 1.0 m beam trawl. No significant difference was observed in catch-per-unit-effort between areas but significant differences were found between seasons. Relative abundance (number of flounder/m2) increased from spring (0.007 marina and 0.011 intertidal flats) to summer (0.059 marina and 0.051 intertidal flats) and then declined slightly in the autumn (0.047 marina and 0.027 intertidal flats). Relative abundance was similar between areas from 1990-95 but differed between years. Length frequency distributions of winter flounder were similar between areas for all seasons but mean sizes were statistically different in summer. These results suggest that juvenile winter flounder are equally abundant in both natural intertidal habitats and marina basins, indicating that both could serve as nursery areas. However, more specific research is required to resolve the relative importance of marinas and the factors involved in utilization of each habitat.

Life history aspects of the mayfly Siphlonurus typicus (Ephemeroptera: Siphlonuridae) with a new application for measuring nymphal development and growth - Kosnicki, E.; Burian, S. (Hydrobiologia, 2003)
Little is known about the life history of mayflies that inhabit temporary ponds. The purpose of this study was to observe and quantify life histories attributes of Siphlonurus typicus, which is known to reside in temporary ponds. Weekly samples of nymphs were taken from two temporary ponds in eastern Connecticut from March to June, 1999. Individuals were graded into 11 maturity classes, based on developmental characteristics, as a means of predicting population maturity rates. Head capsule widths (HCWs) were used to determine if growth occurred between maturity classes. Degree days were found to be an excellent predictor for population maturity (r2 = 0.963, p < 0.0001). Nymphs that hatched earlier in the year had larger HCWs than nymphs that hatched later in the year, possibly because of different temperature regimes. The University of Connecticut Forest pond (UCF) population matured faster than the Merrow Meadows pond (MER) population, but both sexes of the UCF population tended to be smaller than their counter parts from the MER population. Sex ratios were female bias for the UCF population (1.35:1), but were not different for the MER population. Adult emergence and mating occurred from 27 May to 21 June. There was a positive relationship between number of eggs per female and female body length. Oviposition at both sites occurred directly on the ponds, pond inlets, and outlets, indicating that pond populations were the result of local migrants as well as permanent residents. Temperature was a determining factor of maturity and fecundity for Siphlonurus typicus.

Art gallery theorems for guarded guards - Michael, T.S.; Pinciu, V. (Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications, 2003)
We prove two art gallery theorems in which the guards must guard one another in addition to the gallery. A set G of points (the guards) in a simple closed polygon (the art gallery) is a guarded guard set provided (i) every point in the polygon is visible to some point in G; and (ii) every point in G is visible to some other point in G. We prove that a polygon with n sides always has a guarded guard set of cardinality ⌊(3n-1)/7⌋ and that this bound is sharp (n5); our result corrects an erroneous formula in the literature. We also use a coloring argument to give an entirely new proof that the corresponding sharp function for orthogonal polygons is ⌊n/3⌋ for n≤6; this result was originally established by induction by Hernández-Peñalver. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Counselors’ conceptualizations of caring in the counseling relationship - Halstead, R.W.; Wagner, L.D.; Vivero, M.; Ferkol, W. (Counseling and Values, 2002)
Caring is a concept that has been studied in numerous helping professions but has yet to be researched from a counseling perspective. In this qualitative research study, 13 master’s-level counseling interns were interviewed to better understand their perceptions of caring in the counseling relationship. Results suggest that these interns perceive that supporting desired outcomes, a personal capacity for caring, maintaining therapeutic conditions, mutuality in the counseling relationship, and a dynamic flow of communication are important attributes of the counseling relationship when caring is present The findings suggest further research that explores the concept of caring in the counseling relationship may be warranted. © 2002 American Counseling Association.

Clinical efficacy of electrophysiologic measures in APD management programs - Jirsa, R.E. (Seminars in Hearing, 2002)
Determining the relative efficacy of various intervention programs for auditory processing disorders (APD) is a major goal in the field of rehabilitative audiology. Currently, because of their widespread availability, the most commonly used measuring tools to assess the central auditory system have been behaviorally based. Such measures do have notable disadvantages in that they may be influenced by a number of extraneous variables that may impede, or at least influence, efficacy measures. Electrophysiologic measures offer unique advantages not available from the behavioral measures. A significant amount of research has been completed offering compelling evidence relative to the clinical utility of a number of these electrophysiologic measures, including the maximum length sequences-auditory brainstem response, the middle latency response, the obligatory long latency responses, and the MMN and P3 event-related potentials. This article will review the current research related to electrophyiologic measures and present a rationale for including them in the management program.

Competitive hagiography in biographies of al-Awzā'ī and Sufyān al-Thawrī - Judd, S.C. (Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2002)
The present paper examines how followers of 'Abd al-Rahcombining dot belowmān b. 'Amr al-Awzā'ī and Sufyān al-Thawrī tried to create boundaries between the nascent madhhabs that claimed them as eponyms. In the absence of significant differences in legal method, students turned to the two shaykhs' responses to the 'Abbāsid revolution to draw distinctions between them. The Arabic biographical sources contain stories of their responses to the revolution that reveal a dialogue between followers of the two shaykhs about the relative merits of their choices. The changing interpretations of their attitudes toward the 'Abbāsid regime and the exaggeration evident in the anecdotes examined have significant implications for our reading of medieval Arabic biographical sources.

Co-branding partners: What do they see in each other? - Prince, M.; Davies, M. (Business Horizons, 2002)
The decision about whether to co-brand is based on two conditions: the opportunities for creating a competitive advantage, and the operational benefits that will result. When these conditions are favorable, a firm must pick the right co-branding partner, using such criteria as (a) compatibility between brands, (b) market volatility, (c) investment requirements and arrangements, and (d) the prospective partner's commitment to the agreement. The firm and its chosen partner then enter the phase of courtship and potential conflict, which involves planning, negotiation, and conflict avoidance and management. Finally, they must create an exit strategy, in case the co-branding arrangement fails to live up to its promise.

Executive function ability in persons with aphasia - Purdy, M. (Aphasiology, 2002)
Background: There is an increasing recognition that the communication problems one observes in persons with aphasia extend beyond verbal deficits and that the myriad of symptoms observed are not solely due to a faulty linguistic system. Rather, there exists a coalition of causal elements resulting in a wide range of communicative deficits. There is some preliminary evidence suggesting that communicative success of clients with aphasia may depend on the integrity of executive function skills. Executive functions are called into play when an individual is involved in a complex, novel activity. They allow us to plan, sequence, organise, and monitor goal-directed activities in a flexible manner as demanded by situational and environmental changes. When linguistic skills are impaired, individuals need to rely on other cognitive skills in order to communicate. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore executive functioning ability in persons with aphasia. Methods & procedures: A total of 15 individuals with aphasia and 12 healthy control subjects participated in this study. Three dimensions of performance were examined (accuracy, speed, and efficiency) in the context of neuropsychological tests designed to examine cognitive flexibility and goal-directed planning (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Porteus Maze Test, Tower of London, and Tower of Hanoi). Outcomes & results: Results indicated that the two groups performed with similar levels of accuracy on two of the four tests. However, significant differences were found on all speed and efficiency variables, suggesting decreased executive functioning skills in the group of individuals with aphasia. Conclusions: It is important to consider executive functioning ability in clients with aphasia and attempt to determine the influence of executive function skill on communicative performance. Understanding the cognitive abilities as well as the linguistic abilities of these clients may ultimately help clinicians determine which patients are better candidates for intervention as well as which treatment approaches would be most efficient and beneficial.

Script knowledge following stroke - Purdy, M.H. (Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology, 2002)
This study examined script knowledge in 20 subjects who sustained a stroke (10 with left hemisphere brain damage and aphasia and 10 with right hemisphere brain damage) and 10 neurologically normal subjects. Script knowledge was examined via performance on three tasks: procedural sequencing, procedure production, and procedural discourse. Neurologically normal subjects performed all tasks accurately, and all subjects in the stroke group completed at least one of the three tasks for each script accurately, suggesting that script knowledge was preserved in this mildly brain-damaged population. However, significant differences were obtained between the neurologically normal and stroke groups when overall performance was examined. These findings suggest that additional cognitive processes influence task performance. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Regioselective one-pot bromination of aromatic amines - Smith, M.B.; Guo, L.; Okeyo, S.; Stenzel, J.; Yanella, J.; LaChapelle, E. (Organic Letters, 2002)
(Matrix Presented) Treatment of aniline with n-butyllithium and then trimethyltin chloride gave the tin amide (PhNH-SnMe3) in situ. Without isolation of the tin amide reaction with bromine and workup with aqueous fluoride ion gave p-bromoaniline in 76% yield, with no dibromoaniline or o-bromoaniline. Application of this sequence to 11 different aromatic amines gave selective bromination in 36-91% yields, without formation of dibromides. This constitutes a good general method for the regioselective bromination of aromatic amines.

Improving 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface properties by depositing ultra-thin Si nitride layer prior to formation of SiO2 and annealing - Wang, X.W.; Bu, H.M.; Laube, B.L.; Caragianis-Broadbridge, C.; Ma, T.P. (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2002)
We report dramatic improvement in electrical properties of 4H-SiC/SiO2 interface by depositing an ultra-thin layer of silicon nitride on 4H-SiC prior to formation of silicon oxide and annealing. AC conductance measurements reveal interface-trap density equal to or below 1 × 1012/cm2- eV at energies near the conduction band edge. XPS spectra confirm the presence of N at the interface and suggest possible bonding between N and C. © (2002) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Care of the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Patient - Aronson, B.S.; Yeakel, S.; Ferrer, M.; Caffrey, E.; Quaggin, C. (Gastroenterology Nursing, 2001)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease can usually be successfully managed with conservative medical treatment. Anti-reflux surgery is a safe alternative when treatment fails or patients desire a more definitive treatment option. Through a case study approach, this article describes the indications for surgery, the essentials of the authors’ multi-disciplinary approach to care and the components of a well-designed education plan for a patient undergoing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. Although most patients do well after surgery, diligent nursing care is required before and after surgery to prevent or manage complications and ensure patients have a rapid recovery and successful outcome. © 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

Selecting appropriate controls in studies of owl nest-site selection (reply to Marks) - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Journal of Field Ornithology, 2001)
Marks (2001) is critical of our study of nest-site selection in Great Horned Owls (Bubo virginianus) because we compared our data from owl nests with data from random points rather than from unused stick nests. We argue that Great Horned Owls have so many options for nesting in eastern forests that there is little constraint on nest-site selection. Therefore, their choice of nest sites is determined largely by vegetation characteristics in the surrounding landscape, and comparison of owl nests with random points is the best way to assess nest-site selection. Furthermore, we believe that use of unused nests as controls, as advocated by Marks, is biased because control nests will have many of the same characteristics as nests used by owls.

Spectacle at the disco: Boogie nights, soundtrack, and the New American musical - Ritter, K. (Journal of Popular Film and Television, 2001)
In our postmodern visual culture, the idea of spectacle conjures images of excess. In defining spectatorship, we emphasize the visual, drawing physical eyewitnesses toward the spectacular moment itself and into the reification of that moment on the film screen. However, recent Hollywood cinema has challenged the notion that all spectacle must take place within the realm of the visual, as many films strive to reach spectators aurally, via their soundtracks. In particular, popular song has been used in many commercially successful films to re-create each spectator's relationship with his or her past. Films with best-selling pop soundtracks, such as The Wedding Singer and Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, among others, have financially exploited the spectator's attention to familiar song within comedic narratives, prompting viewers to purchase collections of songs they may already own, motivated by nostalgia and pleasant rearrangements of these songs within light, entertaining narratives. In other cases, “retro” films such as 54 and The Last Days of Disco have attempted to capitalize on the popularity of musical trends, such as disco, to revisit what the “scene” meant to its patrons, as well as what disco might mean commercially to new generations. But rarely do the songs in this type of film serve as anything but collective backdrop or the means by which a filmmaker might establish setting, particularly in terms of a decade. They merely reconfigure radio programming, reorder Top 40 hits for a theatrical space. © 2001 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Online research to guide knowledge management planning - Steckler, A.; Farel, A.; Bontempi, J.B.; Umble, K.; Polhamus, B.; Trester, A. (Health Education Research, 2001)
The current paper describes the process and results of an effort to find a way to effectively manage and diffuse prevention knowledge. This study shows the role that today's communication technologies can play in ensuring collaboration and participation in both the design and use of a knowledge management system (KMS) for prevention research, practice and policy. In the context of this study, 'prevention research' includes primary through tertiary prevention efforts consistent with general applied public health research in the US. An online Delphi study was used to engage a set of prevention research constituencies in the design of a mechanism to enhance the potential for effective technology transfer. A three-round Delphi was conducted with 58 stakeholders and key informants involved in prevention: government-level policy makers, researchers and front-line practitioners. The study resulted in consensus on 34 functions and 32 output/content elements of a proposed web-based KMS called Prevention-Effects.net. The paper also describes the implications of both the processes of development and the benefits of the proposed system for those interested in prevention.

Pain in older adults - Wallace, M. (Annals of Long-Term Care, 2001)
Pain is a prevailing clinical problem among older adults resulting in systemic agitation and altered quality of life. Although the possibility remains that older adults experience and report less pain, the need exists to objectively evaluate pain in order to provide the most effective pain management. Several standardized tools are available to assess pain in older adults at baseline and at subsequent, frequent intervals. Following an objective assessment, pain may be managed with pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods.

The Effects of Low-Dose Creatine Supplementation Versus Creatine Loading in Collegiate Football Players - Wilder, N.; Deivert, R.G.; Hagerman, F.; Gilders, R. (Journal of Athletic Training, 2001)
Objective: To compare the effects of low doses of creatine and creatine loading on strength, urinary creatinine concentration, and percentage of body fat. Design and Setting: Division IA collegiate football players took creatine monohydrate for 10 weeks during a sport-specific, periodized, off-season strength and conditioning program. One-repetition maximum (1-RM) squat, urinary creatinine concentrations, and percentage of body fat were analyzed. Subjects: Twenty-five highly trained, Division IA collegiate football players with at least 1 year of college playing experience. Measurements: We tested strength with a 1-RM squat exercise before, during, and after creatine supplementation. Percentage of body fat was measured by hydrostatic weighing before and after supplementation. Urinary creatinine concentration was measured via light spectrophotometer at 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 48, 56, and 63 days. An analysis of variance with repeated measures was computed to compare means for all variables. Results: Creatine supplementation had no significant group, time, or interaction effects on strength, urinary creatinine concentration, or percentage of body fat. However, significant time effects were found for 1-RM squat and fat-free mass in all groups. Conclusions: Our data suggest that creatine monohydrate in any amount does not have any beneficial ergogenic effects in highly trained collegiate football players. However, a proper resistance training stimulus for 10 weeks can increase strength and fat-free mass in highly trained athletes.

The paper bag principle: Of the myth and the motion of colorism - Kerr, A.E. (Journal of American Folklore, 2005)
This article, extracted from a larger study, is attentive to the national folk culture of African-American communities - especially rumor and legend - in a number of city centers. The study begins with Washington, D.C., as a representative model to examine the role of complexion-related lore in black neighborhoods, organizations, and institutions, and then extends outward to other urban areas. Complexion lore, the article argues, functioned as a sophisticated negotiation of racism, wherein black residents complicated American urban principles of inclusion and exclusion by integrating color notions into institutional oral history.

Societal drivers, as well as trends in education and health care, are advancing the practice doctorate in nursing. For nurse practitioner preparation, the current resurgence of interest in the practice doctorate could precipitate change that mimics the evolution from post-basic certificate to Master's level education. The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) is a resource for the study of the practice doctorate relative to quality nurse practitioner education. This article will offer some insights into the movement toward the practice doctorate by describing, from the NP perspective, the societal impetus for change, the historical perspective of NP and doctoral education, the 4 Ws (why, what, where, and when) of the movement, and some of the myths and realities about the practice doctorate. © 2005 Online Journal of Issues in Nursing.

From l'état, c'est moi to l'état, c'est l'état: Mapping in early modern France - Petto, C.M. (Cartographica, 2005)
Using the printed works of two French cartographers, Alexis-Hubert Jaillot and Guillaume Delisle, I investigate how the changing interests of the government directed not only the process of map-making but the rhetoric evident in printed maps and atlases. Jaillot, a commercial map publisher flourishing during the second half of the seventeenth century, produced maps that participated in the fabrication of the image of Louis XIV. Maps served this "cult of image" and contributed to a multimedia show to glorify the reign of the Sun King and to support his personal state - l'état, c'est moi. In the eighteenth century, while a rhetoric of image was still present on printed maps, the "cult of image" was dead and mapping appealed to the rise of the impersonal or bureaucratized state - l'état, c'est l'état. Delisle produced maps as instruments of statecraft that aided the state in furthering its domestic and international interests. In particular, printed maps of the Americas served the government's need to acquire greater territorial control. While images were still powerful on New World maps, the French boundary claims, egregious to some, if uncontested could be produced time and again as a true representation and legitimization of territorial control.

Theory of paramagnetic scattering in highly frustrated magnets with long-range dipole-dipole interactions: The case of the Tb2Ti 2O7 pyrochlore antiferromagnet - Enjalran, M.; Gingras, M.J.P. (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2004)
Highly frustrated antiferromagnets composed of magnetic rare-earth moments are currently attracting much experimental and theoretical interest. Rare-earth ions generally have small exchange interactions and large magnetic moments. This makes it necessary to understand in detail the role of long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in these systems, in particular, in the context of spin-spin correlations that develop in the paramagnetic phase, but are often unable to condense into a conventional long-range magnetic-ordered phase. This scenario is most dramatically emphasized in the frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnet material Tb2Ti2O7, which does not order down to 50 mK despite an antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature TCW∼-20 K. In this paper we report results from mean-field theory calculations of the paramagnetic elastic neutron scattering in highly frustrated magnetic systems with long-range dipole-dipole interactions, focusing on the Tb2Ti2O7 system. Modeling Tb 2Ti2O7 as an antiferromagnetic 〈111〉 Ising pyrochlore, we find that the mean-field paramagnetic scattering is inconsistent with the experimentally observed results. Through simple symmetry arguments we demonstrate that the observed paramagnetic correlations in Tb 2Ti2O7 are precluded from being generated by any spin Hamiltonian that considers only Ising spins, but are qualitatively consistent with Heisenberg-like moments. Explicit calculations of the paramagnetic scattering pattern for both 〈111〉 Ising and Heisenberg models, which include finite single-ion anisotropy, support these claims. We offer suggestions for reconciling the need to restore spin isotropy with the Ising-like structure suggested by the single-ion properties of Tb3+.

Neutron scattering investigation of the spin ice state in Dy 2Ti2O7 - Fennell, T.; Petrenko, O.A.; Fåk, B.; Bramwell, S.T.; Enjalran, M.; Yavors'kii, T.; Gingras, M.J.P.; Melko, R.G.; Balakrishnan, G. (Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, 2004)
Dy2Ti2O7 has been advanced as an ideal spin ice material. We present a neutron scattering investigation of a single-crystal sample of 162Dy2Ti2O 7. The scattering intensity has been mapped in zero applied field in the h,h,l and h,k,0 planes of reciprocal space at temperatures between 0.05 and 20 K. The measured diffuse scattering has been compared with that predicted by the dipolar spin ice model. The comparison is good, except at the Brillouin-zone boundaries where extra scattering appears in the experimental data. It is concluded that the dipolar spin ice model provides a successful basis for understanding Dy2Ti2O7, but that there are issues which remain to be clarified.

Audit effectiveness preceding bankruptcy in UK financial institutions - Malgwi, C.A.; Emenyonu, E.N. (International Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Performance Evaluation, 2004)
This study investigates audit effectiveness (or the lack thereof) of audit opinions issued by auditors preceding company bankruptcies. Data from all 26 bankrupt UK financial institutions were used to determine if auditor appropriately issued opinions other than unqualified, as signs of non-going concern determine any differences in audit-opinion effectiveness between international and domestic audit firms. Results show that unqualified opinions issued was significantly higher than other opinions prior to bankruptcy. While international audit firms were less likely to issue unqualified opinions than their domestic counterparts no firm issued adverse or disclaimer of opinions in any given year, despite serious warning signals from return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and current ratios. © 2004 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Jaltomata andersonii (Solanaceae), here named, is distributed on the western slope of the Andes, in the Departments of Ancash and Lima, Peru, from 2300 to 3400 m of elevation. This species differs from others of the genus by having an unarticulated axis connecting the flower to the plant where all others have both a peduncle and a pedicel. The following combination of features also characterize this species: the hairs of leaves and axes are gland-tipped; the petiole is no longer than 1 cm; the flowers are solitary; the corolla is broadly crateriform-rotate, purple, and up to 3.7 cm in diameter; and the filaments are extremely villous at their bases.

Multiple Independent Identification Decisions: A Method of Calibrating Eyewitness Identifications - Pryke, S.; Lindsay, R.C.L.; Dysart, J.E.; Dupuis, P. (Journal of Applied Psychology, 2004)
Two experiments (N = 147 and N = 90) explored the use of multiple independent lineups to identify a target seen live. In Experiment 1, simultaneous face, body, and sequential voice lineups were used. In Experiment 2, sequential face, body, voice, and clothing lineups were used. Both studies demonstrated that multiple identifications (by the same witness) from independent lineups of different features are highly diagnostic of suspect guilt (G. L. Wells & R. C. L. Lindsay, 1980). The number of suspect and foil selections from multiple independent lineups provides a powerful method of calibrating the accuracy of eyewitness identification. Implications for use of current methods are discussed.

Probability and Tempered Modal Eliminativism - Shaffer, M.J. (History and Philosophy of Logic, 2004)
In this paper the strategy for the eliminative reduction of the alethic modalities suggested by John Venn is outlined and it is shown to anticipate certain related contemporary empiricistic and nominalistic projects. Venn attempted to reduce the alethic modalities to probabilities, and thus suggested a promising solution to the nagging issue of the inclusion of modal statements in empiricistic philosophical systems. However, despite the promise that this suggestion held for laying the ‘ghost of modality’ to rest, this general approach, tempered modal eliminativism, is shown to be inadequate for that task. © 2004 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Recent brachiopods from the southern Brazilian shelf: Palaeontological and biogeographical implications - Simoes, M.G.; Kowalewski, M.; Mello, L.H.C.; Rodland, D.L.; Carroll, M. (Palaeontology, 2004)
Until recently, the rhynchonelliform (articulated) brachiopod fauna from the Brazilian continental shelf (western South Atlantic) was represented only by the endemic species Bouchardia rosea (Mawe), reported from coastal waters of the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The present study, based on samples from coastal (<30m), shelf, and continental slope waters (99-485 m), documents the South Atlantic brachiopod fauna and shows that this fauna is more widespread, diverse, and cosmopolitan than previously thought. Based on a total of 16,177 specimens, the following brachiopods have been identified: Bouchardia rosea (Family Bouchardiidae), Platidia anomioides (Family Platidiidae), Argyrotheca cf. cuneata (Family Megathyrididae), and Terebratulina sp. (Family Cancellothyrididae). In coastal settings, the fauna is overwhelmingly dominated by Bouchardia rosea. Rare juvenile (<2 mm) specimens of Argyrotheca cf. cuneata were also found at two shallow-water sites. In shelf settings (100-200 m), the fauna is more diverse and includes Bouchardia rosea, Terebratulina sp., Argyrotheca cf. cuneata, and Platidia anomioides. Notably, Bouchardia rosea was found in waters as deep as 485 m, extending the known bathymetric range of this genus. Also, the record of this brachiopod in waters of the state of Paraná is the southernmost known occurrence of this species. The genera Platidia and Terebratulina are documented here for the first time for the western South Atlantic. The Brazilian brachiopod fauna shares similarities with those from the Atlantic and Indian shelves of southern Africa, and from the Antarctic, Caribbean and Mediterranean waters. The present-day brachiopods of the western South Atlantic are much more cosmopolitan than previously thought and their Cenozoic palaeobiogeographic history has to be reconsidered from that perspective. © The Paleontological Association.

Possible selves in the lives of adult women: A short-term longitudinal study - Anthis, K. (Possible Selves: Theory, Res. and Appl., 2006)
The current study examined the number and content of possible selves in the lives of adult women over the course of a five-month interval. Based on previous empirical studies of possible selves, a variety of hypotheses were proposed that addressed cohort differences in possible selves, continuity and change in possible selves, and predicting changes in possible selves over time with ego-identity. The results indicated mixed support for the hypotheses, but basically replicated previous research findings on possible selves. The findings are discussed in terms of how they extend both descriptive and predictive knowledge of possible selves. © 2006 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Habitat, food habits, and productivity of Northern Goshawks nesting in Connecticut - Becker, T.E.; Smith, D.G.; Bosakowski, T. (Studies in Avian Biology, 2006)
We documented active nests of the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) at 16 different areas in Connecticut from 1997-1999. A total of 176 prey individuals were identified from remains found under goshawk nests and prey-plucking posts. Birds represented the dominant component of diets (70.5%) with a lower contribution from mammals (29.5%). Overall, Connecticut goshawk diets were dominated by sciurids and Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus). Productivity calculated from 15 known nesting attempts totaled 32 young for an average of 2.13 young per nesting attempt (range 1-4 young). Goshawks nested in large tracts of mature forests with high levels of canopy cover (82%). The nest site topography was consistent with previous studies finding that goshawks avoid southern slopes. Tree densities in the larger size classes and basal area were characteristic for mature forest. Goshawks constructed their nests in large diameter trees, which averaged 41.7 cm in diameter at breast height. Patch size of contiguous forests surrounding goshawk nests revealed a very high mean of 324.5 ha, thus suggesting that large forest patch size may be important for nesting by this forest interior species. Analysis of 202 ha circles centered on each nest revealed that total forest cover averaged 156.1 ha, which was comprised of 65.2 ha for conifer forest, 75.6 ha for deciduous forest, and 17.4 ha for mixed forest. Overall, the post-fledgling family areas for these nests were dominated by forest cover (>75%). Our results suggest that goshawks usually prefer isolation and little human disturbance at the nest site, but some exceptions were noted. Given the highly fragmented and urbanized landscape of Connecticut, we suggest that goshawk management should focus on providing large tracts of mature forest at least 300 ha in extent.

Ecology of the Northern Goshawk in the New York-New Jersey Highlands - Bosakowski, T.; Smith, D.G. (Studies in Avian Biology, 2006)
Evidence suggests that the Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) was once extirpated in the New York-New Jersey Highlands, but has recolonized the Highlands in the 1960s and 1970s following a dramatic reforestation in the 20th century. The reforestation produced large tracts of contiguous mature forest, which appear to be a primary habitat requirement of this species. Most goshawk nests in the Highlands were found deep in remote forest areas where nest sites are typically distant from human habitation and paved roads. Nest trees were almost always built in co-dominant or dominant trees of the stand, but were seldom built in the largest tree of the nesting stand. Canopy cover is very high (90%) and shrub cover is often reduced or nearly devoid (28.3%) at goshawk nest sites. Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) appears to be the most common prey, but other predominant bird species in diets of Highlands goshawks included the Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura), Rock Dove (Columba livia), and blackbirds. Sciurids, including eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus), red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), and gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) were also important components of goshawk diets from the Northeast. Highlands goshawks had a mean prey weight of 365.8 g, with bird prey averaging 332.3 g and mammal prey averaging 442.9 g. In the Highlands, productivity calculated from 36 nesting attempts averaged 1.4 young per nest, lower than found in two Connecticut studies (1.75 and 2.13). Although the goshawk is generally considered to be a permanent resident, dozens of northeastern hawk migration observation stations reveal a small, but distinct, fall migration during non-invasion years. Breeding bird atlas data confirm that the goshawk is rare in New Jersey, moderately rare in Pennsylvania (mostly northern), and numerous in New York. Various factors impacting Highlands goshawks are discussed including interspecific competition, lack of reserves, timber harvesting, tree diseases, and human disturbance factors.

Three non-Bayesian methods of spam filtration: CRM114 at TREC 2007 - Kato, M.; Langeway, J.; Wu, Y.; Yerazunis, W.S. (2007)
For the TREC 2007 conference, the CRM114 team considered three non-Bayesian methods of spam filtration in the CRM114 framework - an SVM based on the "hyperspace" feature==document paradigm, a bit-entropy matcher, and substring compression based on LZ77. As a calibration yardstick, we used the well-tested and widely used CRM114 OSB markov random field system (basically unchanged since 2003). The results show that the SVM has a spam-filtering accuracy of about a factor of two to three better accuracy than the OSB system, that substring compression is somewhat more accurate than OSB, and that bit entropy is somewhat less accurate for the TREC 2007 test sets.

Electrical properties of mismatched interface between InP and GaP - Li, G.-H.; Sun, Y.-N.; Yulius, A.; Broadbridge, C.C.; Woodall, J.M. (Rengong Jingti Xuebao/Journal of Synthetic Crystals, 2007)
The electrical properties of the mismatched interface between InP and GaP have been investigatedted. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image shows the presence of strain relieving, 90° misfit dislocations at the InP/GaP interface. Electrochemical capacitance voltage (ECV) profiling indicates the presence of a high-density sheet of carriers at the interface. AFM image shows a pretty good InP epitaxial layer with surface roughness of 2.48 nm has been obtained. A model based on Fermi-level pinning in InP at the interface by misfit dislocations is proposed to account for the observed electrical behavior.

Normalized change - Marx, J.D.; Cummings, K. (American Journal of Physics, 2007)
Discussions of diagnostic tools that gauge students' conceptual understanding permeate the literature. Many instructors report their class' normalized gain to characterize the change in scores from pre-test to post-test. We describe a new procedure for characterizing these changes. This procedure, which we call the normalized change, c, involves the ratio of the gain to the maximum possible gain or the loss to the maximum possible loss. We also advocate reporting the average of a class' normalized changes and utilizing a particular statistical and graphical approach for comparing average c values. © 2007 American Association of Physics Teachers.

Communication and its development in autism spectrum disorders - Paul, R. (Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Second Edition, 2007)
Introduction Communication deficits are one of the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). People with ASD can be slow to begin talking, or may not learn to talk at all; others may learn to produce words and sentences but have difficulty using them effectively to accomplish social interactive goals. In this chapter we will discuss the course of the development of communication in ASD and will outline how communication deficiencies in this population are identified and treated. Before we do, however, we should be clear about three important terms we will be using, which are illustrated in Figure 4.1. The term “communication” is the broadest of this trio. It refers to all forms of sending and receiving messages, not only with language, but in other ways, such as with gestures, body language, even the way we dress. Animals can also communicate by means of their vocalizations to alert others to danger, for example. That's why the largest circle in Figure 4.1 represents communication. Within the realm of communication, language represents a specific type, so it is enclosed within the larger circle of communication in the figure. Language involves the creation of a potentially infinite set of never-before-conveyed messages through the combination of words in rule-governed ways that allow the formation of sentences to express meaning to others. © Cambridge University Press, 2007 and 2009.

Natural environment disaster survival experiences: Narrative research from two communities - Prince, M.; Davies, M.A.P. (Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies, 2007)
We develop a model of sequential responses of disaster survivors as they experience natural disaster stages. The disaster response model is based on the confluence of psychological processes with temporal environmental states that are markers of disaster periods. The study analyzes journalistic narratives taken from informants experiencing natural disasters in two culturally diverse communities. Recorded short-term vivid memory traces of survivors are assumed to accurately project their interpretations of events and experiences, reflected in their narratives. Whilst survivors share many similarities in their profiles of natural disaster response, some cultural differences in response are observed between communities, such as religiosity.

The stellar mass spectrum of the open cluster NGC 3293 - Slawson, R.W.; Ninkov, Z.; Horch, E.P. (Astrophysics and Space Science, 2007)
We have obtained and analyzed UBVRI CCD frames of the young, 4-10 Myr, open cluster NGC 3293 and the surrounding field in order to study its stellar content and determine the cluster's IMF. We found significantly fewer lower mass stars, M≤2.5M ⊙, than expected. This is particularly so if a single age for the cluster of 4.6 Myr is adopted as derived from fitting evolutionary models to the upper main sequence. Some intermediate-mass stars near the main sequence in the HR diagram imply an age for the cluster of about 10 Myr. When compared with the Scalo (The stellar initial mass function. ASP conference series, vol. 24, p. 201, 1998) IMF scaled to the cluster IMF in the intermediate mass range, 2.5≤M/M ⊙≤8.0 where there is good agreement, the high mass stars have a distinctly flatter IMF, indicating an over abundance of these stars, and there is a sharp turnover in the distribution at lower masses. The radial density distribution of cluster stars in the massive and intermediate mass regimes indicate that these stars are more concentrated to the cluster core whereas the lower-mass stars show little concentration. We suggest that this is evidence supporting the formation of massive stars through accretion and/or coagulation processes in denser cluster cores at the expense of the lower mass proto-stars. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

Managing school discipline and implications for school social workers: A review of the literature - Cameron, M. (Children and Schools, 2006)
School disciplinary policies and practices are essential features of life in U.S. schools. Conventional approaches to school discipline - including conduct codes and security methods, suspension, corporal punishment, and teachers' methods of managing student behaviors - rely primarily on deterrence, control, and punishment to maintain order. However, approximately 40 years of research, chiefly in education and psychology, has demonstrated that these policies and practices are often associated with and can contribute to increased disorder in schools and behavioral and academic problems among students. Furthermore, school discipline is sometimes administered prejudicially to those students who may be the most vulnerable. School social workers and all social workers working with children and youths can help schools adopt effective and nonpunitive disciplinary approaches. Key professional actions include advocacy for schoolchildren subject to unfair and overly punitive discipline; educating teachers and administrators about the potential harm associated with conventional disciplinary practices; educating school personnel about effective, nonpunitive approaches; and creating a public campaign to generate popular support for the reform of iatrogenic school disciplinary practices. © 2006 National Association of Social Workers.

School discipline and social work practice: Application of research and theory to intervention - Cameron, M.; Sheppard, S.M. (Children and Schools, 2006)
Research has identified a relationship between school disciplinary actions and poor academic and psychosocial functioning of students subjected to them. The ways in which school discipline is a direct contributor to students' academic and psychosocial difficulty needs to be further established empirically. Several theories, based in existing research and theory in sociology of education and educational psychology, have been proposed to explain the school discipline - student dysfunction relationship. They generally suggest three pathways: disciplinary actions may contribute to students' psychological problems; student misbehavior may be encouraged through ineffective and unintentionally paradoxical learning experiences; and disciplinary practices may damage students' relationship with school. School social workers and others working with children who have been disciplined at school can use these research findings and theories as an assessment framework to guide their interventions.The awareness of the iatrogenic potential of school discipline and informed assessment can support a range of evidence-based alternatives to school discipline. © 2006 National Association of Social Workers.

MOCVD growth and characterization of AlGaInN nanowires and nanostructures - Han, J.; Kim, K.; Su, J.; Gherasimova, M.; Nurmikko, A.V.; Chichibu, S.F.; Broadbridge, C. (2006)
Growth of GaN and AlGaInN nanowires using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) is investigated. It is determined that surface kinetics play an important role in non-equilibrium synthesis process such as MOCVD, in contrast to near-equilibrium synthesis by hotwall furnace reactor. Examination of crystallographic properties of GaN nanowires reveals preferential growth directions which are perpendicular to the c-axis. Such a tendency is analyzed by both thermodynamic and kinetic arguments and attributed to the minimization of (side wall) surface energy. Spontaneous formation of Al(Ga)N/GaN coaxial nanowires with distinct emission at 370 nm is observed. It is identified that the interplay between surface kinetics and thermodynamics facilitates the catalytic growth of GaN core while a limited surface diffusion of Al adatoms leads to nonselective, vapor-solid growth of Al(Ga)N sheath. The knowledge of crystallographic alignment is applied to the formation of arrayed GaN nanowires in both vertical and horizontal fashions, resulting in potentially new paradigms for creating nanoscale devices. © 2006 Materials Research Society.

Educational services for students with mental retardation in Kenya - Klarie, M.W. (International Journal of Special Education, 2006)
Research pertaining to issues on educational services for individuals with disabilities in developing countries is scarce. The purpose of this article is to two fold: first, to contribute to the already existing literature, and, secondly, and perhaps more importantly, to provide a foundation for prospective readers to better understand literature regarding educational services for students with mental retardation. This article guides the reader to understand the perspectives towards students with mental retardation, discusses the definition and causes of this condition, and discusses issues pertaining to the identification, assessment and evaluation of these students in Kenya. The core of the article contains a discussion of the various placement options available for this population along with the curriculum in operation in the various settings. Existing barriers to effectively serving this population in Kenya and in other developing countries is also discussed.

The discursive malleability of an identity: A dialogic approach to language "medium" schooling in North India - LaDousa, C. (Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, 2006)
This article employs a dialogic approach, in the parlance of Bakhtin, to explore the ways in which a school's "medium," its primary language of instruction, has become a major category of identity in North India. Many people describe themselves and others by invoking attendance at either a Hindi- or English-medium school. The first task of this article is to account for what Bakhtin calls "centripetal forces" that enable people at different positions in terms of class or school experience to use a common duality of Hindiversus English-medium and its attendant social resonances. The second task is to account for the abilities of a teacher to question the inevitability of the medium divide and to radically reframe what is important about schooling. Her abilities derive, in part, from her experiences with schools, attesting to Bakhtin's insight that centripetal forces in language are never total, and that centrifugal forces arise from complex engagements with institutions. © 2006 by the American Anthropological Association.

We better get this party started! - Lavoie, L.; Markiewicz, J. (College and Undergraduate Libraries, 2006)
Each fall, the Tunxis Library hosts a party. Usually thematic, sometimes didactic, and always cerebral, the library uses the party to communicate our “party line” to the entire campus community: we are here to make your life easier. It's particularly effective when delivered at the start of the semester, before the unrelenting rhythm of classes, committee work, and meetings has begun. Showing the campus community that the library is here to support them is our core theme, wrapped in a party context. Our goal is to create a party that jump-starts the fall semester for everyone. In this article, we describe our most recent parties, focusing how we develop, plan, and execute these promotional initiatives, with little money, but plenty of creativity and teamwork. © 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc.

Picturing France in the fifteenth century: The map in BNF MS Fr. 4991 - Serchuk, C. (Imago Mundi, 2006)
A map of France is included in a manuscript, dated to around 1460, entitled A tous nobles, which contains a historical account and genealogy of the French kings. The map was produced in the wake of the Hundred Years War, when conflict with the English challenged both French identity and territory. The map, however, smooths over a century of war to reveal a nation both strong and independent. Through the mapmaker's selection of places, and his use of fluvial boundaries to define the area concerned, he has created an image of France shaped by ideology and history that is wholly in keeping with its location in the manuscript, where the renaming of Gaul as France is described. The map reveals the territory of France to be a critical link between the mythical past and the political present. This connection between history and territory, also reiterated in the text itself, is presented in a graphic format that may be related to contemporary practice of using maps along with legal documents in the resolution of territorial disputes. Seen in the light of the king's claim to the lands ruled by his ancestors, the map thus constitutes a rare medieval example of French national identity expressed in relation to French territory. © 2006 Imago Mundi Ltd.

Spin hamiltonian, competing small energy scales, and incommensurate long-range order in the highly frustrated Gd3Ga5O12 garnet antiferromagnet - Yavors'kii, T.; Enjalran, M.; Gingras, M.J.P. (Physical Review Letters, 2006)
Despite the availability of a spin Hamiltonian for the Gd3Ga5O12 garnet (GGG) for over 25 years, there has so far been little theoretical insight regarding the many unusual low temperature properties of GGG. Here we investigate GGG in zero magnetic field using mean-field theory. We reproduce the spin liquid-like correlations and, most importantly, explain the positions of the sharp peaks seen in powder neutron diffraction experiments. We show that it is crucial to treat accurately the long-range nature of the magnetic dipolar interactions to allow for a determination of the small exchange energy scales involved in the selection of the experimental ordering wave vector. Our results show that the incommensurate order in GGG is classical in nature, intrinsic to the microscopic spin Hamiltonian and not caused by weak disorder. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Evaluation of federated searching options for the school library - Abercrombie, S.E. (School Library Media Research, 2008)
Three hosted federated search tools, Follett One Search, Gale PowerSearch Plus, and WebFeat Express, were configured and implemented in a school library. Databases from five vendors and the OPAC were systematically searched. Federated search results were compared with each other and to the results of the same searches in the database's native interface to disclose differences in handling query syntax, searching, retrieval, browsing results, etc. Each product was easily configured, but none were capable of searching every database desired. Simpler Boolean queries are the most successful queries because of the underlying structure and differences of the databases, and the capabilities of certain products. Federated search products succeed in simplifying access to multiple database resources at school, but searching remains different from the familiar Web search engines in many ways. To become more Google-like, federated searching must be done against indexes built in advance instead of the current real-time searching method.

Norbert wiener and the rise of information ethics - Bynum, T.W. (Information Technology and Moral Philosophy, 2008)
To live effectively is to live with adequate information. Thus, communication and control belong to the essence of man's inner life, even as they belong to his life in society. Norbert Wiener SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ETHICS. Major scientific and technological innovations often have profound social and ethical effects. For example, in Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Copernicus, Newton, and other scientists developed a powerful new model of the universe. This stunning scientific achievement led to increased respect for science and for the power of human reasoning. During that same era, recently invented printing-press technology made it possible to spread knowledge far and wide across Europe, instead of leaving it, as before, in the hands of a privileged minority of scholars. Inspired by these scientific and technological achievements, philosophers, such as Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, re-examined human nature and the idea of a good society. They viewed human beings asrational agentscapable of thinking for themselves and acquiring knowledge through science and books. In addition, they interpreted society as a creation of informed, rational citizens working together throughsocial contracts. These philosophical developments laid foundations for ethical theories such as those of Bentham and Kant, and for political changes such as the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Today, after far-reaching scientific achievements in physics, biology, and cybernetics – and after recent technological advances in digital computing and information networks – philosophers are again rethinking the nature of human beings and of society. © Cambridge University Press 2008 and 2009.

The test of malingered incompetence (TOMI): A forced-choice instrument for assessing cognitive malingering in competence to stand trial evaluations - Colwell, K.; Colwell, L.H.; Perry, A.T.; Wasieleski, D.; Billings, T. (American Journal of Forensic Psychology, 2008)
The TOMI consists of two 25-item, two-alternative, forced-choice scales - General Knowledge (TOMI-G) and Legal Knowledge (TOMI- L) - designed to detect malingered cognitive impairment in CST evaluations. The TOMI was derived and validated with a university sample (N = 242), with a cut score of < 21 providing maximum classification accuracy of hon est and dishonest respondents. Subsequently, the TOMI was administered to forensic inpatient residents (N = 30) and was compared to existing, well- established tests of malingering (the Rey-FIT and the TOMM). Results indi cated strong correlations and predictive agreement for both scales, and dis tinction between honest and probable dishonest respondents for the TOMI-L. A third study provided additional validation for the TOMI in distinguishing honest from dishonest student respondents (N = 120) and examined the ef fects of motivation on response style. For dishonest responders, those in the high motivation group scored significantly lower than those in the low moti vation group, further betraying their dishonesty. The utility of the TOMI as a useful, novel tool for forensic practitioners is discussed. Copyright 2008 American Journal of Forensic Psychology.

Strontium isotope evidence for prehistoric migration at Chokepukio, Valley of Cuzco, Peru - Andrushko, V.A.; Buzon, M.R.; Simonetti, A.; Creaser, R.A. (Latin American Antiquity, 2009)
Although Spanish chroniclers referred frequently to coerced migration in the Inca Empire, these migrations have been difficult to document archaeologically. One approach to migration studies, strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis, has emerged as an effective technique. Until now, however, this method has not been applied to the Inca heartland region of Cuzco, Peru. In this study, we use strontium isotope analysis to examine patterns of prehistoric migration in the Cuzco Valley. Human dental enamel samples from the Cuzco Valley site of Chokepukio are analyzed and compared to the local 87Sr/86Sr signature established through faunal specimens. Though tentative due to a small sample size, the isotope results do not provide evidence for migration at this site from the time periods preceding the rise of the Inca Empire (200 B.C. to A.D. 1400). In contrast, there is substantial evidence for migration during the time of Inca imperialism (A.D. 1400-1532). Among these migrants, variation in 87Sr/86Sr values suggests that individuals emigrated from geologically diverse locations, while sex differences in the migrant group include a higher percentage of females and a greater diversity in female 87Sr/86Sr values. These data, along with ethnohistoric evidence, reveal how Inca labor policies reconfigured the composition of populations in the imperial heartland.

Ephemeroptera (Mayflies) - Burian, S.K. (Encyclopedia of Inland Waters, 2009)
Mayflies are members of a small, but diverse order of aquatic insects that dates back some 290. My. Mayflies are widely distributed on all continents and most large islands. Currently, the order contains about 3100. species distributed among 42 extant families. Adults are fully terrestrial and short lived, but the aquatic nymphs can live for more than a year and are important components of nutrient and energy pathways in a wide range of aquatic habitats. Higher classification and phylogeny of the mayflies are still in a state of flux, but evidence is accumulating providing stronger support for some groups. Alpha-level taxonomy still remains a problem and much work remains to be done in some genera and in some parts of the world. Extensive morphological studies have provided a solid base of knowledge, but similarly intense physiological, histological, and immunological studies are needed. Much work has been done on the ecology of genera and some species. Much finer scale ecological studies are needed to better understand the importance of small-scale ecological interactions among instars of the same and different species. Globally, there are many surveys in progress to document and map the occurrence and distribution of species. This work is critical to developing conservation strategies for mayflies and other vulnerable aquatic species. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A photometric analysis of seventeen binary stars using speckle imaging - Davidson Jr., J.W.; Baptista, B.J.; Horch, E.P.; Franz, O.; Van Altena, W.F. (Astronomical Journal, 2009)
Magnitude differences obtained from speckle imaging are used in combination with other data in the literature to place the components of binary star systems on the H-R diagram. Isochrones are compared with the positions obtained, and a best-fit isochrone is determined for each system, yielding both masses of the components as well as an age range consistent with the system parameters. Seventeen systems are studied, 12 of which were observed with the 0.6 m Lowell-Tololo Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and six of which were observed with the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope (The WIYN Observatory is a joint facility of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Indiana University, Yale University, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatories) at Kitt Peak. One system was observed from both sites. In comparing photometric masses to mass information from orbit determinations, we find that the photometric masses agree very well with the dynamical masses, and are generally more precise. For three systems, no dynamical masses exist at present, and therefore the photometrically determined values are the first mass estimates derived for these components. © 2009 The American Astronomical Society.

Assisted reproductive technology: Ethical challenges for business and medicine - Flynn, D. (International Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, 2009)
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is a modern technological tool that provides otherwise infertile individuals and couples an opportunity to conceive. As a multimillion dollar business, ART faces challenges common to other highly profitable enterprises, such as how and when to measure success. This poses ethical challenges as well, though these are unlike the ethical challenges faced by businesses which trade in consumer goods. ART makes babies. Individuals and couples seeking ART may be both vulnerable and fragile, thus ART providers must gently balance smart business practices with ethical care delivery. Applying Laura Nash's integrated approach to business ethics may offer ART providers a suitable model that combines ethically sound care with economically sound business practice. Key to Nash's approach are value creation, economic and social benefit, and relationship building. Not a short-term approach to quick business decisions, Nash's approach requires a long-term commitment as a way of doing business. © Common Ground, Deborah Flynn, All Rights Reserved.

In such rings, the contracted m-primary ideals are known to be characterized by the property that I: m = I: x for some x ∈ m\m2. We call the ideals with this property full ideals and compare this class of ideals with the classes of m-full ideals, basically full ideals, and contracted ideals in higher dimensional regular local rings. The m-full ideals are easily seen to be full. In this article, we find a sufficient condition for a full ideal to be m-full. We also show the equivalence of the properties full, m-full, contracted, integrally closed, and normal, for the class of parameter ideals. We then find a sufficient condition for a basically full parameter ideal to be full. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Binary and multiple stars - Horch, E. (Astrometry for astrophysics: Methods, Models, and Applications, 2009)
Introduction Two or more stars that are located close together in space interact gravitationally, causing deviations from linear motion as each star is accelerated. If we consider the case of two stars with a physical separation of many times the radius of either star (but still close enough to generate significant accelerations), it is sufficient to consider the stars as point masses. The equations of motion for such a system can be solved by assuming the inverse-square law of gravity and applying Newton's laws of motion. Newton's solution elegantly explained Kepler's laws of planetary motion, since one of the general solutions of motion is an ellipse with the more massive body (the Sun, in the case of the Solar System) at one focus. Kepler's third law of planetary motion (i.e. the harmonic law) as applied to the binary-star situation can be written where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two stars in solar units, a is the semi-major axis of the relative orbital ellipse in astronomical units, and P is the orbital period of the system in years. If you can only apply this formula, then it is not possible to obtain individual masses from the observables on the right-hand side, nor is the mass sum possible without an estimate of the parallax of the system (which allows for the conversion of a from an angular measure to astronomical units). Furthermore, while it is usually possible to measure the orbital period to high precision, the application of the formula is complicated by the fact that the semi-major axis, and implicitly the parallax, is raised to the third power. © Cambridge University Press 2013.

Undergraduates and intercultural communication competence: Creating a plan for performance - Madlock, A. (International Journal of Learning, 2009)
Some studies indicate that students develop intercultural communication competence through interaction in multicultural classrooms. However, what happens when classrooms are predominately homogenous and student exposure to other cultures is limited to media representations? It is not uncommon to find this situation still existing on some college campuses in the United States of America, where students have never come in contact with individuals different from themselves, beyond service industry workers, if any contact is made at all. The idea of establishing a significant relationship with someone culturally different is not given any thought. As an instructor of color how does one get students to move beyond their comfort zone and take action to meet individuals that are culturally different outside of the classroom? This paper describes the results of a textual analysis using grounded theory of student writing as they reflect on how to develop and implement effective communication strategies with individuals culturally and ethnically different from themselves outside of the classroom. The results of which might also be used to transform thinking about the diverse community surrounding the university and influence future decision-making on issues of social justice and human equality. © Common Ground, Annette Madlock.

Playing the feminine card: Women of the early modern map trade - Petto, C.M. (Cartographica, 2009)
Images of allegorical women have often appeared on maps or in atlas frontispieces as objects in need of security provided by male protectors or as the counterpoint, objects to be dominated by male possessors. Exploring the role of women in the early modern map trade initially reveals not only a similar male dominance but also similar calls for protection. Nearly 10 years ago, Alice Hudson and Mary McMichael Ritzlin produced a checklist of about 300 pre-twentieth-century women in cartography. The present work contributes to the further investigation of some of these women in the early modern map trade and studies in the allied field of book printing, and more general works on women in commercial trade provide the framework for this piece. Women in the map trade were quite cognizant of the challenges of their gender and used a feminine discourse-that is, they played the feminine card-when it served their interests. All of these women, however, participated in the male discourse of the corporate community, which entailed not only making contracts and partnerships and advertising and producing new works but also making use of the social network within the trade, as well as exploiting the patronage connections cultivated by their husbands before them.

The great industrial war: Framing class conflict in the media, 1865-1950 - Rondinone, T. (The Great Industrial War: Framing Class Confl ict in the Media, 1865-1950, 2009)
The Great Industrial War, a comprehensive assessment of how class has been interpreted by the media in American history, documents the rise and fall of a frightening concept: industrial war. Moving beyond the standard account of labor conflict as struggles between workers and management, Troy Rondinone asks why Americans viewed big strikes as "battles" in "irrepressible conflict" between the armies of capital and laborùa terrifying clash between workers, strikebreakers, police, and soldiers.Examining how the mainstream press along with the writings of a select group of influential reformers and politicians framed strike news, Rondinone argues that the Civil War, coming on the cusp of a revolution in industrial productivity, offered a gruesome, indelible model for national conflict. He follows the heated discourse on class war through the nineteenth century until its general dissipation in the mid-twentieth century. Incorporating labor history, cultural studies, linguistic anthropology, and sociology, The Great Industrial War explores the influence of historical experience on popular perceptions of social order and class conflict and provides a reinterpretation of the origins and meaning of the Taft-Hartley Act and the industrial relations regime it supported. copyright © 2010 by Troy Rondinone All rights reserved.

Microbial diversity of boron-rich volcanic hot springs of St. Lucia, Lesser Antilles - Stout, L.M.; Blake, R.E.; Greenwood, J.P.; Martini, A.M.; Rose, E.C. (FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2009)
The volcanic Sulphur Springs, St. Lucia, present an extreme environment due to high temperatures, low pH values, and high concentrations of sulfate and boron. St. Lucia offers some unique geochemical characteristics that may shape the microbial communities within the Sulphur Springs area. We chose six pools representing a range of geochemical characteristics for detailed microbial community analyses. Chemical concentrations varied greatly between sites. Microbial diversity was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene clone library analyses. With the exception of one pool with relatively low concentrations of dissolved ions, microbial diversity was very low, with Aquificales sequences dominating bacterial communities at most pools. The archaeal component of all pools was almost exclusively Acidianus spp. and did not vary between sites with different chemical characteristics. In the pool with the highest boron and sulfate concentrations, only archaeal sequences were detected. Compared with other sulfur springs such as those at Yellowstone, the microbial diversity at St. Lucia is very different, but it is similar to that at the nearby Lesser Antilles island of Montserrat. While high elemental concentrations seem to be related to differences in bacterial diversity here, similarities with other Lesser Antilles sites suggest that there may be a biogeographical component as well. © 2009 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

The Tragedy of Child Care in America - Zigler, Edward; Marsland, Katherine W.; Lord, Heather (Yale University Press, 2009)
Why the United States has failed to establish a comprehensive high-quality child care program is the question at the center of this book. Edward Zigler has been intimately involved in this issue since the 1970s, and here he presents a firsthand history of the policy making and politics surrounding this important debate. Good-quality child care supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, school readiness, and academic achievement. This book examines the history of child care policy since 1969, including the inside story of America's one great attempt to create a comprehensive system of child care, its failure, and the lack of subsequent progress. Identifying specific issues that persist today, Zigler and his coauthors conclude with an agenda designed to lead us successfully toward quality care for America's children. © 2009 by Yale University.

A Double k-clustering approach for restructuring Distributed Object-Oriented software - Hamad, S.H.; Fergany, T.; Ammar, R.A.; El-Raouf, A.A.A. (2008)
There have been a large number of projects based on the Distributed Object Oriented (DOO) approach for solving complex problems in various scientific fields. The Mismatch problem is one of the most important problems facing the DOO system, where the initial design of the DOO application does not give the best class distribution. In such a case, the DOO software may need to be restructured. In this paper, we propose a methodology for efficiently restructuring the DOO software classes to be mapped on a distributed system consisting of a set of nodes. The proposed methodology consists of two phases. The first phase introduces a recursive graph clustering technique to partition the OO system into subsystems with low coupling. The second phase is concerned with mapping the generated partitions to the set of available machines in the target distributed architecture. A simulation evaluation was carried out for a set of randomly generated DOO software designs. Then the results were compared with those of the K-Partitioning algorithm in terms of the overall inter-class communication cost. © 2008 IEEE.

Citation searching: Search smarter & find more - Hammond, C.C.; Brown, S.W. (Computers in Libraries, 2008)
All in all, citation searching is a wonderful way to build a comprehensive body of knowledge. The databases allow you to follow a trail of cited references that weaves a web of information across the boundaries of time and subject limitations. It eliminates your need to know appropriate synonyms or subject-specific lingo in order to perform effective searches that yield inclusive results. Citation searching saves time while also increasing the likelihood that your search results will be appropriate for your needs. Citation searching is not just useful for librarians but for other searchers as well. If you need a comprehensive literature review - whether you're a librarian, faculty member, student, or scientist - you would benefit greatly from the capabilities of citation searching databases. The training program for citation searching at the University of Connecticut taught graduate students all these tricks and more. Students who attended our sessions now know how to do broad, interdisciplinary searches after they have searched their primary subject database. They also understand how to "chain" from the original article to the "backward" citations in that article and to the "forward" articles that cited the original. Finally, they see how they can use citation databases to find information about who's citing their articles, which they can use for job searching and grant proposals, promotion, and tenure. Try it yourself - you're sure to find something new!

The use of hi fidelity simulation to enhance nursing students' therapeutic communication skills - Sleeper, J.A.; Thompson, C. (International Journal of Nursing Education Scholarship, 2008)
Nursing students entering psychiatric settings for clinical practice need a solid foundation of therapeutic communication skills. This article presents an innovative strategy for nursing students to practice therapeutic communication skills with psychiatric patients by using hi fidelity simulation with Laerdal SimMan. Using the SimMan vocal function enabled nurse educators to develop communication algorithms that allowed students to interact with SimMan as they would with psychiatric patients. The SimMan algorithms can be designed to mimic many scenarios typically found in psychiatric settings. Nursing students can use this technology to take the therapeutic communication skills they have learned in the classroom and practice them in a safe laboratory environment before entering actual psychiatric settings. The ability of students to practice communication skills prior to entering psychiatric settings can promote effective therapeutic communication skills and decrease student anxiety.

Bullying - Howe, E.; Haymes, E.; Tenor, T. (The School Practitioner's Concise Companion to Preventing Violence and Conflict, 2010)
This chapter reviews the most well-researched, evidence-based antibullying interventions: involvement of all the stakeholders in a school, prevention through life skills curricula, problem-solving approaches, and those that focus on rules and consequences. Two factors emerge with clarity: (1) the exact components of the program do not matter as much as the quality and thoroughness with which the interventions are implemented; and (2) given the potentially severe consequences of bullying, it is a moral imperative to continue to implement such programs and to formulate and revise the programs based on solid evidence. © 2008 by Oxford University Press, Inc.

Landscapes of order, landscapes of memory: Italian-American residential landscapes of the New York metropolitan region - Inguanti, J.J. (Italian Folk: Vernacular Culture in Italian-American Lives, 2010)
In June of 2004, The New York Times reported that the fig trees in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn were dying.1 Accompanying this horticultural death was another transition. Like the fig trees, the elderly Italian-American people who tended them were also gradually disappearing from the neighborhood. The article demonstrated what most residents of the New York tri-state area already knew: The ethnic make-up of a neighborhood often may be "read" through the residential landscape choices of its inhabitants. For people of Italian descent, the fig tree (Ficus carica) is one of many ethnically significant components of the landscape. Throughout the New York City metropolitan region, the residential landscape plays a prominent role in the construction of Italian-American identity. With their symmetrical plans, sheared shrubs, religious statues, and fig trees, Italian-American landscapes proclaim the ethnicity of homeowners and knit neighborhoods together with a shared horticultural and design idiom. Despite the facility with which the denizens of the New York tri-state region discern and describe this "Italian look," no study concerned primarily with the visual analysis and historical precedents of these Italian-American residential landscapes yet exists.

The Colonels' coup and the American embassy: A Diplomat's view of the breakdown of democracy in cold war Greece - Keeley, R.V.; Iatrides, J.O. (The Colonels' Coup and the American Embassy: A Diplomat's View of the Breakdown of Democracy in Cold War Greece, 2010)
The so-called Colonels' coup of April 21, 1967, was a major event in the history of the Cold War, ushering in a seven-year period of military rule in Greece. In the wake of the coup, some eight thousand people affiliated with the Communist Party were rounded up, and Greece became yet another country where the fear of Communism led the United States into alliance with a repressive right-wing authoritarian regime. In military coups in some other countries, it is known that the CIA and other agencies of the U.S. government played an active role in encouraging and facilitating the takeover. The Colonels' coup, however, came as a surprise to the United States (which was expecting a Generals' coup instead). Yet the U.S. government accepted it after the fact, despite internal disputes within policymaking circles about the wisdom of accommodating the upstart Papadopoulos regime. Among the dissenters was Robert Keeley, then serving in the U.S. Embassy in Greece. This is his insider's account of how U.S. policy was formulated, debated, and implemented during the critical years 1966 to 1969 in Greek-U.S. relations. © 2010 Robert V. Keeley All rights reserved.

Interface-induced polarization and inhibition of ferroelectricity in epitaxial SrTiO3/Si - Kolpak, A.M.; Walker, F.J.; Reiner, J.W.; Segal, Y.; Su, D.; Sawicki, M.S.; Broadbridge, C.C.; Zhang, Z.; Zhu, Y.; Ahn, C.H.; Ismail-Beigi, S. (Physical Review Letters, 2010)
We use SrTiO3/Si as a model system to elucidate the effect of the interface on ferroelectric behavior in epitaxial oxide films on silicon. Using both first-principles computations and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements, we show that structurally imposed boundary conditions at the interface stabilize a fixed (pinned) polarization in the film but inhibit ferroelectric switching. We demonstrate that the interface chemistry responsible for these phenomena is general to epitaxial silicon-oxide interfaces, impacting on the design of silicon-based functional oxide devices. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Why did the monkey kill the giant? Another look at Margutte's death - Palma, P. (Quaderni d'Italianistica, 2010)
In the Morgante through Margutte's death-by-laughter Pulci voices a caustic critique of Ficino's philosophical theories while obliquely denouncing Lorenzo de Medici's acceptance of them. The spectacle of the monkey wearing and taking off Margutte's boots follows Aristotle's definition of the ridiculous that ignites hilarity. It also retrieves Bergson's idea of a society that can be derided because of its attempts to disguise its true self. Most importantly, it reintroduces Petrarch's concepts of similitudo and identitas. Through the depiction of the giant's death Pulci reveals the dignity of a poet remaining true to his poetic discourse even while coming to terms with the negative turn his career has taken.

This chapter describes recent studies designed to generate data not only on the localization of reading-related brain activation, but also to examine patterns of interactions and dynamic trade-offs among these distributed reading-related systems. It begins with a review of relevant behavioral studies of component processing in fluent reading, with particular emphasis on the role of early (sublexical) phonology. It then discusses the current literature on the neurobiology of skilled and disabled reading, along with consideration of a series of recent studies that aim to capture brain correlates of component processing, again with an emphasis on phonological processing, adaptive learning, and complex trade-offs and interactions. Finally, it takes stock of what is considered to be crucial next steps (both technical and theoretical) in the emerging cognitive neuroscience of reading and its disorders. © Oxford University Press, 2014.

An information system for multi-instrument atmospheric laser radar studies - Sharma, N.; Parikh, J.A. (2010)
In this paper we describe an information system that we have designed for students and researchers to conduct atmospheric studies using data that they have collected from multiple atmospheric instruments including two laser radar (lidar) systems. The lidar systems available for research include a monostatic Micro Pulse Lidar System and a bistatic imaging CLidar system. Complementary instruments for data analysis and ground truth specification include a nephelometer, sunphotometers and a weather station. Information structures within the system allow users to 1) label, describe and archive raw and derived datasets from multiple atmospheric instruments with associated metadata using NetCDF format, 2) link together coincident and co-located datasets from different instruments and 3) identify owner and verify user access rights of raw and derived datasets. Data analysis software tools have been developed in MATLAB to characterize and remove instrument artifacts based on experimental lidar studies, to analyze clear sky data to determine variability in atmospheric aerosol content over time and altitude, and to investigate cloud and aerosol patterns.

Latin Alive: The survival of Latin in English and the Romance languages - Solodow, J.B. (Latin Alive: The Survival of Latin in English and the Romance Languages, 2010)
In Latin Alive, Joseph Solodow tells the story of how Latin developed into modern French, Spanish, and Italian, and deeply affected English as well. Offering a gripping narrative of language change, Solodow charts Latin's course from classical times to the modern era, with focus on the first millennium of the Common Era. Though the Romance languages evolved directly from Latin, Solodow shows how every important feature of Latin's evolution is also reflected in English. His story includes scores of intriguing etymologies, along with many concrete examples of texts, studies, scholars, anecdotes, and historical events; observations on language; and more. Written with crystalline clarity, this is the first book to tell the story of the Romance languages for the general reader and to illustrate so amply Latin's many-sided survival in English as well. © Joseph B.

Jews and Jewishness in Carme Riera‘s Dins el darrer blau - Sosa-Velasco, A.J. (Iberian Modalities: A Relational Approach to the Study of Culture in the Iberian Peninsula, 2010)
Las hogueras del fanatismo y la ortodoxia son una constante del siglo XXI, en el que ya estamos. Seguimos proyectando nuestro peor yo sobre los débiles, los pobres y los emigrantes. Necesitarí amos matar el yo racista que llevamos dentro y eso sólo se puede conseguir colocándonos en el lugar del otro, sintiéndote agredida. In the last twenty-five years, Jews have emerged as a literary figure as well as a literary theme in Spain. Catalan writers such as Maria Àngels Anglada (1930- 99), Carme Riera (1948–), and Vicenç Villatoro (1957–) approach the Jewish theme and the representation of the Jew as literary character in order to reflect on issues regarding identity and history in novels, such as El violí d‘Auschwitz (1994), Dins el darrer blau (1994), and Memòria del traïdor (1996), respectively. With Dins el darrer blau, written between 1989 and 1993, published in Catalan in 1994 and in Castilian in 1996, Riera starts a series of novels dedicated to the Majorcan xuetes (Jews who were converted to Christianity) which she finishes with Cap al cel obert in 1999. In this essay I will reflect on how Riera‘s Dins el darrer blau revisits the past in order to create a “culture of memory,” a process in which society confronts its traumatic past and the history of exile and repression, linking the history of the Jewish converts to the history of the Balearic island, Majorca. Riera‘s novel is based on historical events that occurred in the City of Majorca from 1687 to 1691. © 2013 Liverpool University Press.

Academic support and college success for postsecondary students with learning disabilities - Troiano, P.F.; Liefeld, J.A.; Trachtenberg, J.V. (Journal of College Reading and Learning, 2010)
The relationship between degree of academic support center use and college success was examined in a population of 262 college students with learning disabilities. Five years of attendance data and graduation rates were examined and submitted to discriminant function analysis to evaluate the predictive influence of academic support center use on college student outcomes. Results indicated that students who had higher levels of attendance in an academic support center had higher overall grade point averages and higher rates of graduation. That is to say, students with learning disabilities who attended learning support centers regularly were more likely to have higher grades and graduate college than those who did not. © 2010, College Reading and Learning Association.

Gaul undivided: Cartography, geography and identity in france at the time of the hundred years war - Serchuk, C. (Mapping Medieval Geographies: Geographical Encounters in the Latin West and Beyond, 300-1600, 2014)
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres. ‘All Gaul is divided into three parts.’ The opening passages of Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic Wars define the target of Roman conquest in geographic terms. Caesar goes on to describe the boundaries of Gaul, its inhabitants, and their character. He does so – at least in part – to enhance the value and importance of his military triumph. The heirs to the vanquished Gauls – French medieval readers and translators of the Gallic Wars – consumed, copied and transformed Caesar’s text, preserving some features and emphasizing them, while erasing others. Although the text and its description of the divisions of Gaul enjoyed considerable popularity and influence in France throughout the Middle Ages, at the time of the Hundred Years War, when France was politically divided, French texts often replaced the tripartite form of Caesar’s Gaul with other models of geographical description. This essay will consider the changing character of geographical thinking about France by the French in the later Middle Ages – expressed in languages both visual and verbal. It will show how geography became entwined with contemporary French identity, particularly with reference to the ways that authors, artists and mapmakers received, transmitted and ignored the tradition of Caesar’s divided Gaul. Fought with the English, primarily on French soil, the war occasioned monumental division in France. Instigated by a dispute about the inheritance of the French crown, as well as over feudal rights owed the French king by his English rival, the Hundred Years War waxed and waned from 1337 to 1453. The calamities of the war were visited on France both physically, in terms of lost and plundered territory, and politically, in terms of the huge rifts that the war wrought in the fabric of French society. Not only did the French struggle against the English, but also, because of bickering, rivalry and ultimately murder among the peers of the realm, the French were also divided against one another, and thus the Hundred Years War also became a civil war. The Armagnacs (French supporters of the French king Charles VII), the Burgundians (French but for some critical years supporting the English) and the English divided France into three fractious parts that joined into fragile alliances. As divisions, they were not as coherent or distinct as Caesar’s provinces, but they divided France painfully if temporarily. © Cambridge University Press 2013.

Change in suspect's memory as a result of deception - Colwell, K.; Hiscock-Anisman, C.; Corbett, L.; Memon, A.; Hauselt, W.J.; Bonilla, Y. (American Journal of Forensic Psychology, 2011)
One hundred and eight participants either stole or replaced a stolen exam key from a professor's office. Half of the participants were instructed to respond honestly and to help with an investigation; the other half were instructed to distort their statement so they were not implicated. Participants did not know whether they would be asked to lie or report honestly during their time in the professor's office. After completing the task, participants again met with a research assistant, who instructed them whether to lie or respond honestly at a one-week follow-up. After the interview, participants completed a Likert-type post-event questionnaire. Deceivers reported significantly more anxiety and motivation not to get caught while in the office, even though there were no differences in the instructions given to the two groups until after participants left the office. Therefore, the act of deception changed their memory for their time in the office. This is important theoretically because it suggests that forming a lie script could be akin to other memories for counterfactual thinking. Practically, it is important to note that a deceptive perpetrator or detainee may never be able to actually provide an accurate account. Copyright 2011 American Journal of Forensic Psychology.

Meeting deadlines within object-oriented systems - El-Raouf, A.A. (2011)
In real-time software systems, meeting deadlines is crucial. Software engineers face many challenges to model the object-oriented software system to handle complex real-time constraints. The accurate estimating of the performance time is a key criterion for a precise scheduling decision. This paper presents an object-oriented performance model that analyzes the behavior of the real-time objects' tasks whose executions are controlled by a scheduler. Each task is subject to a time/utility function (TUF) that determines the accrued utility of the task according to its completion time. The scheduling scheme uses both the estimated time generated by the object-oriented performance model and the time utility function (TUF) of each task in the object-oriented system in order to maximize the total accrued utility. In addition, we implemented a software tool to conduct experimental study in order to show the effectiveness of our approach. © 2011 IEEE.

Helmet use in connecticut motorcycle crashes: A state without a universal helmet law - Landman, A.B.; Phipps, M.S.; Jawin, K.; Bolton, L.; Van Gelder, C.M.; Kamin, R.; Teel, B.; Vaca, F.E. (Connecticut Medicine, 2011)
Objectives: Assess the association of helmet use with motorcycle crash mortality and identify characteristics of riders who do not wear helmets in Connecticut crashes. Methods: Police crash data for Connecticut motorcycle crashes 2001-2007 were analyzed. Bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regressions were performed including age, gender, seating position, road type, season, time of day, and recklessness. Results: Of the 9,214 crashes with helmet use data available, helmets were worn in 4,072 (44.2%). Non-helmeted riders, age > 18, riding interstate or state roads, in the evening or at night, and whowereridingrecklesslywere associated withhigher odds of fatality. Predictors of nonhelmet use included males, passengers, age <18 or 30 to 59, and riding in the summer, evening or at night, and on US, state, and local roads. Conclusion: Current crash data affirm that helmets reduce fatal crashes in Connecticut. A set of factors help predictnon helmeted riders to whom safety training could be targeted.
