Title: Exploring how nature and nurture affect the development of reading: an analysis of the Florida Twin Project on reading.
Creator: Hart, Sara, Logan, Jessica, Soden-Hensler, Brooke, Kershaw, Sarah, Taylor, Jeanette, Schatschneider, Christopher
Abstract/Description: Research on the development of reading skills through the primary school years has pointed to the importance of individual differences in initial ability as well as the growth of those skills. Additionally, it has been theorized that reading skills develop incrementally. The present study examined the genetic and environmental influences on 2 developmental models representing these parallel ideas, generalizing the findings to explore the processes of reading development.

Show moreResearch on the development of reading skills through the primary school years has pointed to the importance of individual differences in initial ability as well as the growth of those skills. Additionally, it has been theorized that reading skills develop incrementally. The present study examined the genetic and environmental influences on 2 developmental models representing these parallel ideas, generalizing the findings to explore the processes of reading development. Participants were drawn from the Florida Twin Project on Reading, with a total of 2,370 pairs of twins representative of the state of Florida. Twins' oral reading fluency scores from school progress monitoring records collected in the fall of Grades 1-5 were used to model development. Results suggested that genetic influences on the development of reading are general, shared across the early school years, as well as novel, with new genetic influences introduced at each of the first 3 years of school. The shared environment estimates suggest a pattern of general influences only, suggesting environmental effects that are moderate and stable across development.

Title: Enriching Consumer Health Vocabulary Through Mining A Social Q&a Site: A Similarity-based Approach.

Show moreThe widely known vocabulary gap between health consumers and healthcare professionals hinders information seeking and health dialogue of consumers on end-user health applications. The Open Access and Collaborative Consumer Health Vocabulary (OAC CHV), which contains health-related terms used by lay consumers, has been created to bridge such a gap. Specifically, the OAC CHV facilitates consumers' health information retrieval by enabling consumer-facing health applications to translate between professional language and consumer friendly language. To keep up with the constantly evolving medical knowledge and language use, new terms need to be identified and added to the OAC CHV. User-generated content on social media, including social question and answer (social Q&A) sites, afford us an enormous opportunity in mining consumer health terms. Existing methods of identifying new consumer terms from text typically use ad-hoc lexical syntactic patterns and human review. Our study extends an existing method by extracting n-grams from a social Q&A textual corpus and representing them with a rich set of contextual and syntactic features. Using K-means clustering, our method, simiTerm, was able to identify terms that are both contextually and syntactically similar to the existing OAC CHV terms. We tested our method on social Q&A corpora on two disease domains: diabetes and cancer. Our method outperformed three baseline ranking methods. A post-hoc qualitative evaluation by human experts further validated that our method can effectively identify meaningful new consumer terms on social Q&A. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Show moreThe relationship between major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) remains controversial. Previous research has reported differences and similarities in risk factors for MDD and BD, such as predisposing personality traits. For example, high neuroticism is related to both disorders, whereas openness to experience is specific for BD. This study examined the genetic association between personality and MDD and BD by applying polygenic scores for neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness to both disorders. Polygenic scores reflect the weighted sum of multiple single-nucleotide polymorphism alleles associated with the trait for an individual and were based on a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for personality traits including 13,835 subjects. Polygenic scores were tested for MDD in the combined Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN-MDD) and MDD2000+ samples (N=8921) and for BD in the combined Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder and Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium samples (N=6329) using logistic regression analyses. At the phenotypic level, personality dimensions were associated with MDD and BD. Polygenic neuroticism scores were significantly positively associated with MDD, whereas polygenic extraversion scores were significantly positively associated with BD. The explained variance of MDD and BD, ∼0.1%, was highly comparable to the variance explained by the polygenic personality scores in the corresponding personality traits themselves (between 0.1 and 0.4%). This indicates that the proportions of variance explained in mood disorders are at the upper limit of what could have been expected. This study suggests shared genetic risk factors for neuroticism and MDD on the one hand and for extraversion and BD on the other.

Show moreThe global climate has been experiencing significant warming at an unprecedented pace in the past century1, 2. This warming is spatially and temporally non-uniform, and one needs to understand its evolution in order to better evaluate its potential societal and economic impact. In this paper, the evolution of global land surface temperature trend in the last century is diagnosed using the spatial–temporally multidimensional ensemble empirical mode decomposition method3. We find that the noticeable warming (>0.5 K) started sporadically over the global land and accelerated until around 1980. Both the warming rate and spatial structure have changed little since. The fastest warming in recent decades (>0.4 K/decade) occurred in northern midlatitudes. From a zonal average perspective, noticeable warming (>0.2 K since 1900) first took place in the subtropical and subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere, followed by subtropical warming in the Southern Hemisphere. The two bands of warming in the Northern Hemisphere expanded from 1950 to 1985 and merged to cover the entire Northern Hemisphere.

Show moreUnderstanding the biosocial context of menopausal timing offers insight into social and health inequalities. Prior research on inflammatory chronic conditions suggests that inflammation may predict how early women experience menopause. We explore the ability of black race to moderate the overall relationship between chronic inflammation and timing of menopause. We use data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project on inflammation, age of last menstruation, and race as well as relevant social and medical covariates. We conduct event history modeling to predict age at menopause by inflammatory biomarker levels. Using interaction analysis, we investigate whether being black may shape the overall relationship between inflammation status and menopause timing. Our analyses find no significant statistical interactions between black race and inflammation in predicting menopausal onset. However, we do identify independent correlational relationships between inflammation and black race (r = 0.136) and between menopausal timing and black race (r =-0.129) as well as inflammation (r= -0.138) that emerge as significant in corresponding regression models. We conclude that race probably does not moderate associations between inflammation and menopause. Yet, we also note that the original parameter estimate for black race's impact on menopausal onset (HR= 1.29, p < 0.05) becomes non-significant in a model that includes inflammation (HR= 1.06, p< 0.01). To translate our findings into policy and practice implications, we present alternate conceptualizations of black-white disparity in the inflammation-menopause relationship and recommend future research using mediation modeling.

Working from an abstract algebraic perspective and using an opposite-magnitudes context that is relevant to children, we analyzed the reasoning of 33 children in grades K-5. We focus our report on three prominent ways of reasoning. We do this by describing and analyzing the responses of three particular children (in Grades 1, 3, and 5) who exemplify these ways of reasoning. We view each of the three ways of reasoning as rich and interesting, and we see relationships of each to formal integer reasoning. At the same time, we view these ways of reasoning in terms of increasing levels of sophistication, potentially belonging to a single learning trajectory. Thus, we see the roots of more sophisticated integer reasoning in children's early intuitions about opposite magnitudes.

Title: Identification of In Vivo Sulci on the External Surface of Eight Adult Chimpanzee Brains: Implications for Interpreting Early Hominin Endocasts.

Show moreThe only direct source of information about hominin brain evolution comes from the fossil record of endocranial casts (endocasts) that reproduce details of the external morphology of the brain imprinted on the walls of the braincase during life. Surface traces of sulci that separate the brain’s convolutions (gyri) are reproduced sporadically on early hominin endocasts. Paleoneurologists rely heavily on published descriptions of sulci on brains of great apes, especially chimpanzees (humans’ phylogenetically closest living relatives), to guide their identifications of sulci on ape-sized hominin endocasts. However, the few comprehensive descriptions of cortical sulci published for chimpanzees usually relied on post mortem brains, (now) antiquated terminology for some sulci, and photographs or line drawings from limited perspectives (typically right or left lateral views). The shortage of adequate descriptions of chimpanzee sulcal patterns partly explains why identities of certain sulci on australopithecine endocasts (e.g., the inferior frontal and middle frontal sulci) have been controversial. Here, we provide images of lateral and dorsal surfaces of 16 hemispheres from four male and four female adult chimpanzee brains that were obtained using in vivo magnetic resonance imaging. Sulci on the exposed surfaces of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes are identified on the images, based on their locations, positions relative to each other, and homologies known from comparative studies of cytoarchitecture in primates. These images and sulcal identifications exceed the quantity and quality of previously published illustrations of chimpanzee brains with comprehensively labeled sulci and, thus, provide a larger number of examples for identifying sulci on hominin endocasts than hitherto available. Our findings, even in a small sample like the present one, overturn published claims that australopithecine endocasts reproduce derived configurations of certain sulci in their frontal lobes that never appear on chimpanzee brains. The sulcal patterns in these new images also suggest that changes in two gyri that bridge between the parietal and occipital lobes may have contributed to cortical reorganization in early hominins. It is our hope that these labeled in vivo chimpanzee brains will assist future researchers to identify sulci on hominin endocasts, which is a necessary first step in the quest to learn how and when the external morphology of the human cerebral cortex evolved from apelike precursors.

Show moreThis article explores the association between employment and recidivism for parolees released from Texas prisons. Along with determining whether obtaining employment on release from prison is associated with decreased odds of reincarceration, this article analyzes whether obtaining employment is associated with increased time to reincarceration. Proportional hazard models were used to examine the effect of employment on reincarceration over time. This analysis allowed a unique view of desistance from crime as a process of behavioral change with multiple stages. Results generally support this perspective, finding that although obtaining employment is not associated with a significant decrease in likelihood of reincarceration, it is associated with significantly greater time to reincarceration. Thus, among parolees who are reincarcerated, those who obtain employment spend more time crime-free in the community before returning to prison. This article argues that increased time crime-free is an indicator of positive behavior change that should be supplemented with clinical interventions to help formerly incarcerated persons maintain the initial motivation associated with employment.

Show moreStructure elucidation by ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry methods is based on the comparison of an experimentally measured momentum transfer cross-section to cross-sections calculated for model structures. Thus, it is imperative that the calculated cross-section must be accurate. However, it is not fully understood how important it is to accurately model the charge distribution of an analyte ion when calculating momentum transfer cross-sections. Here, we calculate and compare momentum transfer cross-sections for carbon clusters that differ in mass, charge state, and mode of charge distribution, and vary temperature and polarizability of the buffer gas. Our data indicate that the detailed distribution of the ion charge density is intimately linked to the contribution of glancing collisions to the momentum transfer cross-section. The data suggest that analyte ions with molecular mass similar to 3 kDa or momentum transfer cross-section 400-500 (2) would be significantly influenced by the charge distribution in nitrogen buffer gas. Our data further suggest that accurate structure elucidation on the basis of IMS-MS data measured in nitrogen buffer gas must account for the molecular charge distribution even for systems as large as C-960 (similar to 12 kDa) when localized charges are present and/or measurements are conducted under cryogenic temperatures. Finally, our data underscore that accurate structure elucidation is unlikely if ion mobility data recorded in one buffer gas is converted into other buffer gases when electronic properties of the buffer gases differ.

In this mixed-methods study, we examined the levels of reflection, use of future-oriented reflection, and changes in the reflective writing of 90 preservice elementary education teachers enrolled in two sections of an early field experience course (one of which received guided observation) at a large university in the United States While the level of reflection in the writing of 35% of the preservice teachers (PTs) increased in complexity over the span of a semester, only 10% of the PTs ever demonstrated the deepest level of reflection in their writing. Future-oriented reflection accounted for 6% of the language in the assignments with a majority of the instances documenting what PTs planned to do in their future classrooms. PTs in the guided observation group demonstrated a significantly higher level of reflection than those in the unguided group. With these findings in mind, we present implications for teacher-education field experiences and future research, such as providing scaffolding for futureoriented reflection.

Show moreYoung adults are becoming more and more engaged with social media for a variety of reasons. Social networking sites—such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter—provide them with free and open space for exchanges of ideas, collaboration, and expression. For the most part, these online interactions are positive, respectful, and socially responsible. However, a significant number of young adults are using social media for a darker and more dangerous purpose: cyberbullying. While this phenomenon has been discussed widely in the media, what is lacking is a clear and consistent understanding of cyberbullying. This literature review will synthesize the current research on cyberbullying, identify key findings that can be drawn from the research, acknowledge existing research gaps, and suggest opportunities for further research. Although the focus of this article is a review of the literature, a secondary focus is the potential for public librarians, through pastoral care, to serve as a support system for victims of cyberbullying.

Show moreTropical forests are incredibly dynamic, showing rapid and longer-term changes in growth, mortality and net primary productivity. Tropical species may be highly sensitive to temperature increases associated with climate change because of their narrow thermal tolerances. However, at the ecosystem scale the competing effects of temperature, light and precipitation on tropical forest productivity have been difficult to assess. Here we quantify cloudiness over the past several decades to investigate how clouds, together with temperature and precipitation, affect flower production in two contrasting tropical forests. Our results show that temperature, rather than clouds, is critically important to tropical forest flower production. Warmer temperatures increased flower production over seasonal, interannual and longer timescales, contrary to recent evidence that some tropical forests are already near their temperature threshold. Clouds were primarily important seasonally, and limited production in a seasonally dry forest but enhanced production in an ever-wet forest. A long-term increase in flower production at the seasonally dry forest is not driven by clouds and instead may be tied to increasing temperatures. These relationships show that tropical forest productivity, which is not widely thought to be controlled by temperature, is indeed sensitive to small temperature changes (1–4°C) across multiple timescales.

Show moreUnderstanding predictors of early aggressive behavior is necessary to establishing intervention and prevention efforts to improve long-term outcomes for elementary children and their families. This study expands on existing aggression research by examining specific factors in Childhood aggression and their effect on academic performance. We asked 392 parents of 8-12 year olds to answer a 20-minute survey on-line about their children’s behavior, parenting styles, family demographics and grades. We compared demographic information, the occurrence of inattentive/hyperactive symptoms, parental involvement, and inconsistent parenting with 2 forms of aggression, proactive and reactive. These factors and their interactions with each other were compared with academic achievement. In the analysis of proactive aggression, we found that inattentive/hyperactive symptoms (β = .10, p = .01), positive involvement (β = -.11, p = .001), and inconsistent monitoring and discipline (β = .63, p < .001) were all significant predictors of proactive aggression, but income-to-needs ratio was not a significant indicator of proactive aggression (p = .09). We found Reactive aggression to be strongly associated with inattentive/hyperactive symptoms (β = .31, p < .001) and inconsistent parenting and monitoring (β = .50, p < .001), but not parental involvement (p = .46). Interestingly, Parent/child demographics remained insignificant with the exception of ethnicity. Hispanic children had lower rates of reactive aggression than non-Hispanic children (β = -.09, p = .02). We found that children’s grades were correlated positively with Parental education (β = .13, p = .009). Higher levels of inattentive/hyperactive symptoms (β = -.34, p < .001) and reactive aggression (β = -.20, p = .04) predicted lower grades over and above parental involvement. This research contributes to our understanding of the effects of demographic and parenting factors on both proactive and reactive aggression in children.

Title: The Detrimental Effects of Diet-Induced Obesity on Olfactory Performance and Function.
Creator: Schreiter, Nicholas Alexander
Abstract/Description: Diet-induced obesity (DIO) decreases the number of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the nose and reduces their projections to the olfactory bulb. Whether surviving OSNs have equivalent odor responsivity is unknown. We utilized c-fos immediate early gene expression as a marker for neuronal activation to determine if DIO affects sensory function. Male mice that contained a gfp reporter for the M72 odorant receptor were challenged with control food (CF), moderately-high fat (MHF) diet, or...
Show moreDiet-induced obesity (DIO) decreases the number of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the nose and reduces their projections to the olfactory bulb. Whether surviving OSNs have equivalent odor responsivity is unknown. We utilized c-fos immediate early gene expression as a marker for neuronal activation to determine if DIO affects sensory function. Male mice that contained a gfp reporter for the M72 odorant receptor were challenged with control food (CF), moderately-high fat (MHF) diet, or high fat (HF) diet for 6 months upon weaning. Mice maintained on the modified diets weighed significantly more (one-way ANOVA, p<0.0001) and had reduced glucose clearance as determined by an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (one-way ANOVA, p<0.0001). Mice were exposed to isopropyl tiglate (IT) or clean air using a cyclic odor stimulation paradigm to activate the M72 odorant receptor. Immunocytochemical procedures demonstrated that the number of periglomerular (PG) cells did not decrease with fatty diets surrounding either the medial or lateral M72 glomerulus (one-way ANOVA; lateral (lat) – F(2, 11) = 0.4155, p = 0.67; medial (med) – F(2, 13) = 0.7149, p=0.5295). The M72 glomerular volume was also unaffected following DIO, which is consistent with PG cell abundance (one-way ANOVA; lat – F(2, 11) = 0.09720, p = 0.9081; med – F(2, 13) = 0.3194, p = 0.7321). Interestingly, unlike OSNs, PG cells do not show a reduction in abundance following DIO, which may suggest that PG cells possess resistance to the apoptotic effects of DIO via uninterrupted PG cell neurogenesis or other neuroprotective factors. The increase in c-fos immediate early gene activation with odor stimulation for PG cells surrounding the lateral and medial M72 glomerulus was not significantly different across dietary treatment (lat – Kruskal-Wallis = 2.367; p=0.3063; med – Kruskal-Wallis = 1.565; p = 0.4572). However, the mean fold change in c-fos positive PG cells revealed that the medial M72 glomerulus had decreased odor activation following DIO (CF = 5.45x, MHF = 2.49x, HF = 1.65x), while the lateral glomerulus had less decrease due to diet (CF = 2.95x, MHF = 1.95x, HF = 2.18x). This suggests that surviving OSNs projecting to the medial M72 glomerulus trend to have reduced activation by their ligand, IT, following DIO, but those projecting to the lateral glomerulus have similar odor sensitivity as CF mice. This work was supported by the Phi Eta Sigma Undergraduate Research Award, T32 DC000044, and R01 DC013080 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the NIDCD.

Show moreThe Southern Ocean is central to the global climate and the global carbon cycle, and to the climate's response to increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, as it ventilates a large fraction of the global ocean volume. Global coupled climate models and earth system models, however, vary widely in their simulations of the Southern Ocean and its role in, and response to, the ongoing anthropogenic trend. Due to the region's complex water-mass structure and dynamics, Southern Ocean carbon and heat uptake depend on a combination of winds, eddies, mixing, buoyancy fluxes, and topography. Observationally based metrics are critical for discerning processes and mechanisms, and for validating and comparing climate and earth system models. New observations and understanding have allowed for progress in the creation of observationally based data/model metrics for the Southern Ocean. Metrics presented here provide a means to assess multiple simulations relative to the best available observations and observational products. Climate models that perform better according to these metrics also better simulate the uptake of heat and carbon by the Southern Ocean. This report is not strictly an intercomparison, but rather a distillation of key metrics that can reliably quantify the "accuracy" of a simulation against observed, or at least observable, quantities. One overall goal is to recommend standardization of observationally based benchmarks that the modeling community should aspire to meet in order to reduce uncertainties in climate projections, and especially uncertainties related to oceanic heat and carbon uptake. Plain Language Summary Observationally based metrics are essential for the standardized evaluation of climate and earth system models, and for reducing the uncertainty associated with future projections by those models.

Show moreThe avian nucleus laminaris (NL) is a brainstem nucleus necessary for binaural processing, analogous in structure and function to the mammalian medial superior olive. In chickens (Gallus gallus), NL is a well-studied model system for activity-dependent neural plasticity. Its neurons have bipolar extension of dendrites, which receive segregated inputs from two ears and display rapid and compartment-specific reorganization in response to unilateral changes in auditory input. More recently, FMRP (fragile X mental retardation protein), an RNA-binding protein that regulates local protein translation, has been shown to be enriched in NL dendrites, suggesting its potential role in the structural dynamics of these dendrites. To explore the molecular role of FMRP in this nucleus, we performed proteomic analysis of NL, using micro laser capture and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. We identified 657 proteins, greatly represented in pathways involved in mitochondria, translation and metabolism, consistent with high levels of activity of NL neurons. Of these, 94 are potential FMRP targets, by comparative analysis with previously proposed FMRP targets in mammals. These proteins are enriched in pathways involved in cellular growth, cellular trafficking and transmembrane transport. Immunocytochemistry verified the dendritic localization of several proteins in NL. Furthermore, we confirmed the direct interaction of FMRP with one candidate, RhoC, by in vitro RNA binding assays. In summary, we provide a database of highly expressed proteins in NL and in particular a list of potential FMRP targets, with the goal of facilitating molecular characterization of FMRP signaling in future studies.

Objective
Social media sites, such as Facebook, merge two factors that influence risk for eating disorders: media and peers. Previous work has identified cross-sectional and temporal associations between Facebook use and disordered eating. This study sought to replicate and extend these findings using an experimental design.
Method
In Study 1, 960 women completed self-report surveys regarding Facebook use and disordered eating. In Study 2, 84 women were randomly assigned to use Facebook or to use an alternate internet site for 20 min.
Results
More frequent Facebook use was associated with greater disordered eating in a cross-sectional survey. Facebook use was associated with the maintenance of weight/shape concerns and state anxiety compared to an alternate internet activity.
Discussion
Facebook use may contribute to disordered eating by maintaining risk for eating pathology. As such, targeting Facebook use may be helpful in intervention and prevention programs. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2014)

Show moreTraditional methods of lie detection (e.g., polygraph, GSR, heart rate) have often led to more controversy than successful detection. Leading the charge into the future of lie detection technology is eye-tracking, a young and innovative field that represents a new and promising strategy for addressing deception by measuring eye movements, pupil size, and attentional allocation. This experiment examined the body’s physiological reactions to engaging in deception by using pupillometry. We examined and compared these physiological responses between two conditions: being told to tell a lie or the truth. We also examined the effects of the lie being told spontaneously compared to knowing in advance that a lie would be produced, as well as the effect of practice. With the use of a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) paradigm, participants looked at a continuous stream of visual images (i.e., letters) and were asked to report (or lie about) the letter of a unique color (black letter among gray letters). Participants were prompted at the end of the trial to either report the letter correctly, or to lie about it. On some trials, this prompt occurred in advance of the letter stream so participants could prepare to lie, and for other trials it occurred at the end and participants had little opportunity to prepare their lie. It was predicted that lies would be characterized by an increase in pupil size, but this prediction received limited support. With regard to reaction time, lie responses took significantly longer, and there was a trend for this cost to decrease with practice. So while lies were successfully detected, the implementation of pupillometry was not successful, and future research is suggested in order to collect more powerful results from a stronger paradigm.

Show moreAppearing in early to late childhood, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common psychological disorders and can affect several aspects of a child’s life, including peer relations and overall well-being. Key symptoms of ADHD include symptoms restlessness, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. There is a high comorbidity between ADHD and anxiety, although it is not clear which disorder comes first developmentally since possible mechanisms that underlie the link between them are not well understood. Some studies have suggested that specific parenting styles may be linked to both ADHD and anxiety in young children. These studies have suggested that the symptoms of ADHD may lead to controlling or overprotective parenting - including intrusiveness and discouragement of personal independence. This parenting style has been linked to increased anxiety levels in children and could be a potential catalyst for increased levels of anxiety among children with ADHD. The current project aimed to examine whether the comorbidity between anxiety and ADHD could be connected to over-protective parenting by testing a mediation model in a group of 102 5-7 year old children. We utilized the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to measure the level of ADHD and anxiety symptoms as reported by the parent and the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) to measure the overprotective tendencies exhibited by the parent. Results supported a mediation model wherein the link between ADHD and anxiety symptoms was significantly mediated by over-protective parenting style.

Show moreThis dissertation is an examination of the rates of return obtained on the assets of municipal pension funds located in the State of Florida that are managed by boards of trustees. The risk characteristics associated with the employment of these assets are also examined. The study is based on a sample of 37 plans out of a population of approximately 200 which fit the "trustee managed" classification. Before addressing the sample data the current literature and various evaluation techniques are reviewed. The methodology employed is based on the works of Dietz and modified using the semi-variance techniques favored by Osteryoung., The composition of these plans seems to be related to their size as measured in total asset value. Smaller funds are composed primarily of low risk deposits while larger funds have diversified portfolios. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. Analysis of their operating characteristics really entails a study of management responses to changing market stimuli. Also considered, and found very important, is the efficiency with which management handles the stream of contributions. These factors impact on the performance of the sample funds. Performance, as measured by the return earned on total available assets, is compared with the rate of inflation and the cost to the sponsoring cities of borrowing funds., The conclusions reached are that these pension plans are not performing in a manner which will protect their assets from decreasing in value due to the effects of inflation. The effect of security trading may be detrimental to attempts to obtain efficient trade offs between risk and return, the buy-hold strategy may be the better route to follow. Decisions for or against funding should be made on a case-by-case basis considering the unique conditions concerning individual sponsors and plans., Some areas for future research in this area might be an investigation into the specific investment goals of these funds, an application of the capital asset pricing model to the performance of pension plans, and the development and use of a simulation model to test performance of these funds without considering the legal restrictions placed on the composition of their investment portfolios.

Prasad, has successfully preserved a small sample of his diatoms research in both Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA) Florida Digital Archive(FDA) and MetaArchive since 2008 and 2009, respectively. The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model, introduced at the 3rd International Digital Curation conference in Washington, DC in December 2007, was the conceptual model used to guide some of the major stages in the preservation of faculty research data. The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) describes digital curation as encompassing both data curation and digital preservation and "stems from the early days of the DCC [Digital Curation Centre]" (McGovern, 2011) and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) Digital Preservation briefing paper (Burnhill, 2006). Both The DCC Curation Lifecycle Model and ICPSR's digital curation definition provided the overarching framework for the workflow processes governing preservation of faculty research data using two different preservation strategies.

Title: Strategic Asset Allocation for Individual Investors: The impact of the present value of social security benefits.
Creator: King, David, Fraser, Steve P., Jennings, William W.
Abstract/Description: This paper demonstrates the dramatic effect of Social Security wealth on individuals’ asset allocation. We first discuss why Social Security wealth should be included in portfolio asset-mix decisions. We then draw parallels between Social Security benefits and inflation-indexed treasury bonds to help quantify the present value of Social Security benefits. Finally, we show the portfolio impact of including Social Security wealth under several asset-mix decision rules. Excluding Social Security...

We first discuss why Social Security wealth should be included in portfolio asset-mix decisions. We then draw parallels between Social Security benefits and inflation-indexed treasury bonds to help quantify the present value of Social Security benefits. Finally, we show the portfolio impact of including Social Security wealth under several asset-mix decision rules. Excluding Social Security wealth from the asset mix decision results in suboptimal portfolios. Including Social Security wealth provides an incentive for including more stock in the asset mix. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

Title: Tracking the Evolution of Water Column NO3-+NO2- δ15N & δ18O from the South Atlantic, Through the Gulf of Mexico, and to the North Atlantic.
Creator: Howe, Samantha Paige
Abstract/Description: The Gulf of Mexico is known for the biogeochemical impacts of significant riverine nutrient inputs on the ecosystem. However, it is unclear whether nutrients delivered to the Gulf of Mexico are subsequently exported from the Gulf, further influencing the chemistry of the North Atlantic. The nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3-) have been increasingly used to track nitrogen fluxes to, from, and cycling within the ocean. Here, we report the first dual isotopic composition...
Show moreThe Gulf of Mexico is known for the biogeochemical impacts of significant riverine nutrient inputs on the ecosystem. However, it is unclear whether nutrients delivered to the Gulf of Mexico are subsequently exported from the Gulf, further influencing the chemistry of the North Atlantic. The nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate (NO3-) have been increasingly used to track nitrogen fluxes to, from, and cycling within the ocean. Here, we report the first dual isotopic composition measurements of NO3- from the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits, and compare these with prior measurements from the South and North Atlantic, and identify potential processes consistent with the observed shifts. The nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits is very similar to that previously measured in the Sargasso Sea. There is little evidence for riverine or submarine groundwater NO3- directly influencing the isotopic composition of NO3- exported from the Gulf of Mexico. These results are consistent with recent modeling work suggesting that the majority of riverine nutrients delivered to the Gulf of Mexico are retained in the near-shore region.

Title: Effects of Neonatal Stress on the Parietal Hippocampal Network.
Creator: Pei, Eric
Abstract/Description: Maternal separation in rats is used to study how stress impacts the brain. Our laboratory previously made use of a simple model of learning and memory to assess the effects of early stress in the form of daily maternal separation on adult learning and memory using a simple model system to assess learning and memory: eyeblink conditioning. Glucocorticoids are important for modulation of stress for adult learning and memory. Previously we found that neonatal stress increased glucocorticoid...
Show moreMaternal separation in rats is used to study how stress impacts the brain. Our laboratory previously made use of a simple model of learning and memory to assess the effects of early stress in the form of daily maternal separation on adult learning and memory using a simple model system to assess learning and memory: eyeblink conditioning. Glucocorticoids are important for modulation of stress for adult learning and memory. Previously we found that neonatal stress increased glucocorticoid receptor expression in the cerebellum, that increased receptor expression was correlated with impaired learning and that blocking excess receptors restored normal learning. Here we set out to begin assessing the possibility that more complex learning and memory brain systems may be altered in a similar way. The parietal hippocampal network has been shown to be part of the brain network responsible for learning, memory and spatial navigation and has not been previously assessed following neonatal stress. To test for how early stress affects learning and memory in the parietal hippocampal network, GR expression was quantified. By using previously obtained coronal sections of brain data, GR expression was analyzed in the parietal cortex. Neonatal maternal separation was found to not significantly alter GR expression in the parietal cortex or effect stress on the parietal hippocampal network. GR expression varies oppositely from studies on connectivity and differences in regional GR expression is suggested to not interact with neonatal stress.
