Three years after Christine McCleary's father died, she started noticing changes in her mom, Stella. A typically active woman who always had lots of friends, Stella started skipping church services, which was out of character for her. She stopped wearing makeup and didn't always remember to launder her clothes.
Sign up for AARP's Health Newsletter.
Not only that, Stella, 86, began spending more and more time alone in her apartment and often couldn't remember what day of the week it was. McCleary was no longer sure that her mom, who lived thousands of miles away, was remembering to eat regular meals.
"We knew that things were going downhill," says McCleary, 56, but the final straw came during a frantic phone call. "She thought my father was there, and he'd been dead at the time for three years. That made us say, hey, she can't be living on her own anymore."
So Stella moved from her longtime home near Pittsburgh to a senior residence in Reno, Nev., close to McCleary and her husband. Stella went from having maybe two social interactions a week to living in a building with more than 200 of her peers. Within a month she was applying blush and wearing jewelry. She started playing bridge every week and walking three miles a day.
Her conversations became animated again. "It was like the clock was turned back four years," says McCleary's husband Larry, 59. "You could tell she enjoyed getting up in the morning."
New research suggests that Stella's turnaround may have been integrally tied to her level of social activity and engagement. Many scientists now believe that social interaction is key to maintaining good mental health and warding off diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's. Many recent studies document the positive effects of social interaction. Although researchers are not certain what happens in the brain to produce the positive effects seen among the more socially engaged, it appears clear that close relationships and large social networks have a beneficial impact on memory and cognitive function as people age.
In a study of 2,249 California women published in the July American Journal of Public Health, researchers reported that older women who maintained large social networks reduced their risk of dementia and delayed or prevented cognitive impairment.
By interviewing the women over the course of four years, researchers accumulated data about the size and closeness of their social networks. Researchers asked the women questions such as "How many people can you rely on for help?" and "How many people can you talk to about private matters?" They also tallied the frequency of visits, phone calls and mail from family or friends the women received.
The results showed that women with the larger social networks were 26 percent less likely to develop dementia than those with smaller social networks. And women who had daily contact with friends and family cut their risk of dementia by almost half.
"If you stay connected, you have a better shot," says Valerie Crooks, clinical trials administrative director at Southern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Group and lead author of the study. "Whenever we have even the most basic exchange, we have to think about how to respond, and that stimulates the brain. There are people who are outliers, who have two very close relationships and are fine cognitively. But people who have three or more relationships tend to do better."
Crooks and her colleagues suggest that one reason for these findings may be that social networks facilitate healthy behaviors — like joining a walking group, tennis team or bowling league.
A number of observational studies have shown that exercise reduces or delays the onset of pathological changes in the brain that lead to cognitive impairment. And the first clinical trial showing that physical exercise may improve cognitive function among those who suffer mild impairment was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in September. Exercise, particularly along with social interaction, is believed to stimulate the formation of brain synapses, enhance blood flow in the brain and increase the formation of nerve cells.

Comments On Mar 24, 2015:I only have about 15 hours on this tire since I mounted it. (Rear). I use this tire when I ride any desert or freeride, etc. I ride mostly Ocotillo, Plaster City, Corral Canyon, Superstition and Pine Valley with this tire and so far it is holding up well. Pine Valley typically destroys even brand new tires due to it's super sharp and pointy rocks. So far it has held up. I did notice that it is very slippery out at Plaster city (very hard pack with some loose dirt and rocks). It is a good overall intermediate tire that seems to last me about half a season if I ride every weekend (which is good for me, other tires last half the time as this so far)!

Is there a way to scrub through a chapter on the 6th gen nano? I have only been able to scrub chapter to chapter which isn't useful when you become distracted and want to rewind 30 seconds.
Is there a way to not lose the stop point in the audiobook when you plug into the computer to recharge battery? When I connect the nano to my computer to recharge (auto add etc. is all disabled) the place you stopped at is lost.

If it works the same as an iPhone, on the headphone cable press the volume down button (-) 3 times in quick succession and hold it down on the 3rd press. This goes into a rewind mode that rewinds as long as you hold the button down.
You can go into a fast forward mode in a similar manner with 2 presses and hold down.

Best of Edward Abbey, The
Second Edition
440 pages
9 b/w illustrations
In 1984, the late great Edward Abbey compiled this reader, endeavoring, as he says in his preface, "to present what I think is both the best and most representative of my writing-so far." Two decades later, it remains the only major collection of his work chosen by Abbey himself, a rich feast of fiction and prose by the singular American writer whom Larry McMurty called "the Thoreau of the American West" and whom Alice Hoffman hailed as "the voice of all that is ornery and honorable."
Devoted Abbey fans along with readers just discovering his work will find a mother lode of treasures here: generous chunks of his best novels, including The Brave Cowboy, Black Sun, and his classic The Monkey Wrench Gang; and more than a score of his evocative, passionate, trenchant essays-a genre in which he produced acknowledged masterpieces such as Desert Solitaire. There is even an excerpt from a novel he was working on in 1984, eventually published as The Fool's Progress. Scattered throughout are the author's own petroglyph-style sketches.
Abbey went on publishing new work until his untimely death in 1989 at age sixty, so this new edition includes a selection of later Abbey: a chapter from Hayduke Lives!, the hilarious sequel to The Monkey Wrench Gang; excerpts from his revealing journals; a little-known account of a trip to the Sea of Cortez; and examples of his poetry. A new foreword by Doug Peacock-Abbey's close friend and the model for the flamboyant activist Hayduke-offers a fond appreciation of this larger-than-life figure in American letters.
Edward Abbey was born in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania and first bummed his way west in 1944. His love of the desert took root during his undergraduate years at the University of New Mexico. After a Fulbright scholarship took him to Scotland, he lived mostly in the Southwest, except for brief stints in New York. He worked at many jobs - often as a ranger or fire lookout - until the success of The Monkey Wrench Gang allowed him to focus on writing. His best-known books include Desert Solitaire, Down the River, and The Journey Home.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
The M-69 series of Mars spacecraft was the first of a new generation of Mars probes designed by the Lavochkin design bureau for launch on the heavy Proton booster. The probes were designed around a single large spherical tank to which three pressurized compartments were attached. Although the 1969 missions were originally meant for both Mars orbit and landing, weight constraints late in mission design forced engineers to delete the lander and focus only on a Mars orbit mission.
After two en route midcourse corrections, the spacecraft were intended to enter orbit around Mars at roughly 1,700 x 34,000 kilometers at 40 degree inclination. After an initial photography mission, the probes would lower their pericenters to about 500 to 700 kilometers for a second imaging mission. Total mission lifetime would be about three months. During the launch of the first M-69, the Proton's third stage stopped firing at T+438.66 seconds, after its turbopump had caught on fire because of a faulty rotor bearing. The probe, scheduled to reach Mars orbit on 11 September 1969, never even reached Earth orbit.

Receipts and photos and memos, oh my!
The iConvert Scanner will help you organize—and prevent you from losing—all your important documents. At home, it lets you save family photos, genealogy records, greeting cards, recipes and children's artwork. At the office, you can archive meeting notes, resumes, renderings and signed contracts. While traveling, you can digitize receipts, expense sheets, and business cards.
Don't risk accuracy by simply "photographing" your important documents.
Cameras are great at taking pictures of people, places and things. But photographing a document up close frequently introduces distorted angles, glare and unequal sharpness across the photos. Using a scanner ensures that you'll be able to read every letter and number on your receipt and see every tiny detail in a photo or drawing.
Your important documents are waiting! Order your iConvert Scanner exclusively at Brookstone today.

The delicious advantages of dual convection
Three trays of perfectly browned chocolate chip cookies, baked in one easy batch. Could an ordinary oven do it? Not likely, unless you hover like a mother hen, adjusting the trays this way and that. But that's just one of the culinary feats you can master with the dual convection systems in every Wolf M and E series oven, and our Chef Coleman shows you how it's done. The even heating, the browning, the irresistible combination of crunchy and gooey – the secret to the perfect cookie has been revealed.
Feed a crowd and still enjoy the party
The dinner party. Entrée in the stove, side dishes on this or that burner, dessert still unfinished – no wonder you're frazzled by the time the meal is served. But with Wolf, it's "Whole Meal In, Whole Meal Out," thanks to dual convection systems that circulate heat evenly across all racks, even when the oven is filled with six different dishes at once. Wolf's Chef Coleman prepares a leg of lamb, mac and cheese, roasted potatoes, vegetables and mixed berry crisp all at the same time – and with the most delicious results. Enjoy a glass of wine while dual convection takes care of dinner.
There have never been ovens like these. The high-performance heirs to our pioneering L series, the M series combines three striking new looks and advanced Dual VertiCross™ convection for the most consistently delicious cooking results yet. Ten touchscreen modes let you roast, bake, broil with ease, while the new Gourmet mode has a menu of almost fifty presets for effortless preparation of many popular meals.
Most ovens have hot and cold spots. Wolf E series ovens are different. Two convection fans and multiple heating elements control heat and airflow more precisely – 375° is 375° everywhere, and meals come out exactly the way you'd envisioned. In your choice of contemporary, transitional or professional styles, our E series ovens fit any kitchen beautifully.
They may be the world's most versatile ovens. Choose the cooking mode combining steam and convection that's ideal for your dish. The oven's unique digital technology senses the amount, size and shape of the food, and automatically adjusts all the details of cooking. Bake bread worthy of a boulangerie. Cook the juiciest roast you can imagine. Steam vegetables and retain more nutrients. Even bring leftovers back to moist, flavorful life.
L Series Built-In Ovens
Wolf's original line of built-in ovens, with durable stainless steel construction and a rotating, touch control panel for stylish cooking, while dual convection and 10 cooking modes ensure delicious meals every time.

Gwyneth Paltrow covers People (People magazine)
But, not surprisingly, the 40-year-old Oscar winner is humble about her latest honor.
"Around the house, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt. I don't really wear makeup. That's what [my family] used to," she told the magazine, admitting that her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, even mocks her about it. "He'll make a joke about it. If I've gotten fully dressed up, he'll be like, 'Oh, wow! You're Gwyneth Paltrow!' Because he's used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair."
She credits her rigorous workout routine -- namely, the Tracy Anderson Method five days a week -- with helping her to age gracefully.
"It makes me look younger and feel strong," she said. "When I first started, I thought, 'I'll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!' But now it's like brushing my teeth, I just do it."
Gwyneth takes the reins from her pal Beyoncé, who received the honor last year, just a few months after giving birth to her first child, Blue Ivy. Over the years, the flawless faces of Michelle Pfeiffer, Cindy Crawford, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Aniston have graced the cover of the special issue.
[Related: Get a sneak peak of some of the other lovely ladies who made the list]
As usual, the magazine featured plenty of other beauties, including "Modern Family" matriarchs Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara (featured in the Cinemagraph below) and Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lawrence, and Zooey Deschanel.

Here is a mailbox I made for an artist friend who wanted a unique mailbox as an easy way to find her studio and gallery.
Used a 20 lb propane tank as the body.
Have made about 8 to 10 of these "propane piggies" for friends as yard art.
My safery preparation procedure:
1 - Start with "empty" tanks.
2 - Use a special wrench I made to fit the valve. (looks sort of like a crows foot wrench)
3 - Use air powered impact wrench with 12" extension on the wrench.
4 - Submerge propane tank in 55 gallon drum full of water before removing valve.
( In case of sparks)
5 - With valve removed - fill tank with water, 4 table spoons of powdered dishwasher detergent and a squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent. Let it sit for 1-2 days, drain and repeat. This gets out the mercaptan additive (rotten egg) smell.
6 - After I have a " cleaned" tank, I still never cut or weld on it unless it is vented or has a big hole in it.
Don't want to end up on "America's #1 Idiot show"
Now I can cut off the handle and base ring and build the piggies.
Have fun but please be safe.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

Figured it out. I'd changed my keyboard layout to Dvorak which apparently isn't honored at boot, defaulting to QWERTY. I pressed Cmd+O (where the S would've been) and it worked.

Get ready for a long post. This is my question and hypothesis so far:
What trails do gamma rays and/or X-rays create in a thermoelectric cloud chamber?
Since both Gamma Rays and X-rays are forms of electromagnetic waves, they both follow the equations:
Ε = hC / λ
C = f λ
If a gamma ray and an X-ray have at least one electromagnetic property (wavelength, frequency, energy, etc.) in common, the two waves would be nearly identical. This is possible, considering that the energy range of an X-ray can overlap or even exceed* the energy range of a gamma ray created by nuclear gamma decay. The main differentiation between gamma decay and X-ray radiation is the source of the radiation. Gamma rays are emitted when a nucleus transcends from a higher energy state to a lower energy state. X-rays are formed when electrons from a cathode are struck against a metal target.
Although, gamma rays and X-rays are formed differently, the cloud chamber will not detect this difference, as the trails formed in the cloud chamber depend on the p article being emitted. Although gamma rays usually have higher energies than X-rays, both X-rays and gamma rays emit a photon, meaning both trails should be very similar.
Since a photon has no charge, it will not be able to directly ionize the particles in the cloud chamber. However, since gamma rays emitted by the uranium ore most likely have energy higher than 100 keV, Compton scattering can occur. When the photon collides with a free electron, a lower energy photon and the electron are emitted. The electron ionizes the vapor and creates a trail, while the photon may collide with another free electron to undergo Compton scattering once more. This process may repeat one or two times until the photon no longer has enough energy to induce Compton scattering.
Hypothesis Part 1: X-ray trails and Gamma ray trails should appear similar.
Hypothesis Part 2: X-rays and Gamma Rays should produce very short chain
reaction paths, with straight electron trails seen at short
distances from each other.
* Some X-rays created by linear accelerators, megavoltage cancer treatment, etc. can exceed the
energy range of "classical" X-rays and even surpass the energy created by nuclear gamma decay.
I've pretty much finished the typing portion of the project, and I'm getting ready to work on the display board. However,
it turns our I have more information than I have space on my display board. I was wondering if it would be okay to keep
my Abstract on a separate "buddy board" in front of the project.
I'm a bit of a procrastinator and this project is due day after tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated.
THank You,

This is a cart I'm designing/fabricating for my Miller Dialarc HF. The bottle and cooling tank frames will be bolted to the cart in case I ever have to remove them to take a side panel off. Although I don't plan on moving it around much I designed around 8" casters. I'm also going to have a 2" square tube in front for a handle if ever needed.
Couple things I'm still working on figuring out...cable racks (the ones shown in the drawing are conceptual...I think maybe they are too close together) and maybe tool storage.
Any thoughts, suggestions or criticism be appreciated.

Looks interesting. One thing, I would make sure the machine still fits through a 36" door frame.
I've seen some of these cars with a longer T-handle to actually pull the thing around.
In my case, the water cooler is on top, just turned sideways.
When you are done, any chance you can PM the drawings. I need to upgrade my cart (which is currently a frame + 4 wheels).Con Fuse!

I'm gonna put a 2" square tube inset into the frame to attach a handle. (It's in the drawing but hard to see when it was converted to .jpg) Don't plan on having to move it around much.
If I ever did have to get through a small doorway the bottle and cooling tank frames can be unbolted. I did try mounting the cooling tank sideways but it is about 32" long and ends up with a lot of overhang.
I'd be happy to provide the drawings to anyone who is interested. They are done in AutoCAD 2008. Since they're for my own use I just draw and fab but I could make a set of working drawings without much trouble. I can also convert the drawings to another format if you can't open and read AutoCAD files.
Looks good. It will take up some space with the tank on the side. The center of gravity will be high as well. You can put the tanks in the rear & still have good access to the sides of the machine. It looks like the cylinder holder you have will have a lot of strain on the bottom as that is where it's bolted. If you go that route I would weld a good 3/8" or 1/2" tap block plate to the bottom rail so you'll have something really solid to attach it to. A tap block plate is simply a piece of metal with tapped holes in it.
I have liked using larger Phenolic wheels in the back, with swivel casters in the front. This lets the cart have a wider wheelbase & it sits lower as well. It's always best to attach the casters with bolts thru tapped base plates rather than just welding them on. It's a much more professional look. If you don't have a way to tap holes, welding's the next best thing unless you drill the holes thru & use bolts. (Just my thoughts )
The cart below was built to accommodate an S'Wave 250, but the concept will work for most any machine. It also has a drawer underneath for consumables & parts. The cooler is a tower type & sits in the cylinder rack. I always have used the Argon tank off my MIG machine with a quick connect, so the tank in the pic is a spare.
Just something to think about. Lots of possibilities.
So you're telling me...You're not nostalgic? Then, give me another word for it......

The reinforcement for the tank frame is a good idea. I've got some 1/2" plate I can add. The tank frame is designed to bolt in 4 places...2 in the horizontal bottom rail and 1 each in the verticals as high up as the 3" angle will allow.
I always bolt my casters on, either D&T or thru bolts/nuts. I try to design around larger, wider casters since the ground I work on is rugged (shop is still gravel base - ag-lime top).
I added the 2x4 rect. tube as caster mounts to move things up a little. Seems be easier to make adjustments if things were a little higher. I may reposition the caster mounts a little to widen the base to allow for the higher c.o.g..
I'd like to mount the bottle in the back to save some width but been avoiding it so as not to restrict air flow of the fan.
I like the storage underneath on your cart. Is that a custom fabbed drawer or a commercial unit? I'll have to add something like that into the design.
Appreciate the suggestions.

Is that cylinder on the right your cooler? I think you should consider relocating both that and the argon tank.
To keep my Dialarc narrow so that it fits through doors I made a frame out of scrap 1 X 2 square tubing the same length and width as the welder. It mounts between the Miller wheel assembly and the welder. The argon tank sits on the back of the wheel assembly behind the welder. The frame raises the welder high enough to put the cooler underneath the welder and it makes the welder controls very easy to reach. There is also space in the frame accessible from the right side, to keep the foot pedal and wire, plus room for a shallow drawer that I haven't built yet. Right now that space is holding 2 fishing tackle type plastic boxes for the tungsten and torch parts. This works so well that I may never build the drawer. Along the left side of the welder and frame are the filler wire storage tubes mounted using Unistrut and their conduit hardware. I still need to build some cable hangers, but I haven't settled on a design or location for them yet.______________________________

You could put some offset 10" or 12" X 2 1/2" wheels on the rear & it will all but eliminate any possibility of it tipping. Just that 5" or so added wheelbase will greatly increase the cart's overall stability. That Dialarc HF is a little heavy & I wouldn't go too high on it. Sure, it's stinks having to bend over to make adjustments, but especially on a gravel floor, it could tip easily if you got hung up in a rut or got a stone stuck in the wheels.
Not saying I got it all figured out, but I've built quite a few sets of running gear & have found it to work best for my application.
Here is one I built for an older Miller MIG machine, but has very similar dimensions to your Dialarc. It has some height to it, but not too much. As far as airflow, Miller has been putting cylinders behind machines in front of the fan for decades & I doubt you'll have any issues with cooling or overall airflow.
Good luck with it.

Charley I read your post and studied your cart before starting on mine. You've put some great ideas into it. I want to incorporate some PVC pipe for filler rod and stick rod holders on Unistrut hangers. It'll probably be a design on the fly thing once I start getting framework put together.
I'm going to move the bottle to the back of the machine.
With 7A's drawer design and a couple of tackle box type boxes I should be in great shape for storage. I'm gonna try to pick up both this weekend so I can design around them.
7A I'm going to look into redesigning the rear wheel assembly as you suggest. Should work out great since I've got a couple axle type wheels around here. Then I'll just need a couple swivel casters for the front.
In reality I hope I don't have to move the beast around much. It is a heavy som buck. With long enough cables I should be able to stick outside the shop in the drive. And the tig jobs will just have to come to the machine. But I figured I'd design for worst case in case I have to get mobile across the gravel driveway. Shouldn't ever have to go through a smaller doorway.
Been working 7/12's lately but hopefully have some time this weekend to get a little start on it to see how things will work out off the paper.
Again, I sure appreciate all the help and suggestions.

Here's a picture of the cart it is presently on. Came with the machine when I bought it. Very serviceable but I figured I'd design and fab something more suited to my situation.
It's a picture from the sale ad so that's not my shop.

"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
It was a game where you could see how good we can be if all aspects of the game work properly and we don't make stupid mistakes or have stupid penalties.
The only complain I have is that our D and our O went totally Vanilla at the end of the first half and at the end of the game. Offense, well OK. But on defense: don't give them yardage in garbage time.
Otherwise it was superb game. The domination was much higher than 'just' 21 points.

Well, that was a disaster.
Enjoy your burrito.
Ireland's ass better be gone. Giving him that capspace and those picks will doom us.
This is the most important offseason in a long time coming up and if he's still here I have 100% faith that he's set this club back a decade by wasting the draft picks and signing a couple of iffy FAs to awful contracts. The dude is just plain bad and I just can't fathom how people on the main board still defend this guy. I just don't understand.
I hope i am wrong about this guys, but i have a really sick feeling about the game tonight.
I live just outside of Buffalo, so by default, the team i know the best besides Miami is Buffalo.
Chan Gailey has been so stupid to keep CJ Spiller on the bench for the most part, behind Fred Jackson, but no Fred Jackson tonight, unfortunately.
We will see a pretty big dose of CJ, and I hope we can somehow contain him, but god this kid is good.
Lets hope last week was just a bump in the road.

STK-33 Kinase Inhibition Measured in Biochemical System Using Plate Reader - 2052-02_Inhibitor_Dose_DryPowder_Activity_Set3
Assay Overview: Purified STK33 Kinase is preincubated with potential inhibitors and then allowed to phosphorylate MBP at [ATP] = Km, which can be compared to other [ATP] experiments to determine competitive or non-competitive mechanism of action. Kinase activity is measured using the ADP Glo Kit (Promega) which converts ADP reaction product into a luminescent signal. ..more

Assay Overview: Purified STK33 Kinase is preincubated with potential inhibitors and then allowed to phosphorylate MBP at [ATP] = Km, which can be compared to other [ATP] experiments to determine competitive or non-competitive mechanism of action. Kinase activity is measured using the ADP Glo Kit (Promega) which converts ADP reaction product into a luminescent signal.
Expected outcome: Inhibitors of the STK33 will reduce the production of ADP, resulting in a decreased signal from the ADP Glo Kit.
Buffer Stock - 10 mL 1 M MOPS-Na pH 7.0 + 0.6 mL 500 mM EDTA + 10 mL 50% glycerol + 100 uL 10% Brij-35 -> 1L 0.2 u filter
10X BSA/BME - 50 mL Buffer + 50 mg BSA + 50 uL BME, aliquot 4X 10 mL -20C
Assay Buffer (AB) = 10 mL 10X BSA/BME + 90 mL Buffer Stock

ATP/Mg = 150 10 mM ATP + 500 uL 1M MgAc2 -> 10 ml w/ AB to a final conc of 0.15 mM
384 well plate assay
Add 20 uL AB to last column of 384 well white Aurora assay plate using combi dispenser (Thermo). Add 20 uL STK33/MBP to all but last column. Using a pintool, transfer 25 nL compound in DMSO stock solution into assay plate. Incubate 15 minutes at room temperature.
Add 5 uL ATP/Mg / well to all wells of plate to initiate kinase reaction. Incubate 60 minutes.
Add 25 uL / well ADP Glo Reagent I (Promega). Incubate 40-60 minutes.
Add 50 uL / well ADP Glo Reagent II (Promega). Incubate 30 minutes.
Read luminescence 0.1 sec integration time on Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).
PRESENCE OF CONTROLS: Neutral control wells (NC; n=88) and positive control wells (PC; n=16) were included on every plate.
EXPECTED OUTCOME: Active compounds result in decreasing readout signal.
The compounds were assayed in multiple independent instances using an identical protocol; each instance is called a 'test'. For each test, the following analysis was applied:
For each sample, the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration) was determined and the active concentration limit (AC_limit) was set to equal (2)(Max_Concentration).
The raw signals of the plate wells were normalized using the 'Neutral Controls Minus Inhibitors' method in Genedata Assay Analyzer (v7.0.3):
The median raw signal of the intraplate neutral control wells was set to a normalized activity value of 0.
The median raw signal of the intraplate positive control wells was set to a normalized activity value of -100.
Experimental wells values were scaled to this range.
PATTERN CORRECTION: No plate pattern correction algorithm from Genedata Condoseo (v.7.0.3) was applied.
AC values were calculated using the curve fitting strategies in Genedata Screener Condoseo (7.0.3).
AC values were calculated up to the active concentration limit described for each sample.
pAC was set to equal -1*log10(AC)
Activity_Outcome = 1 (inactive) when:
a) compound shows activity but in a direction opposite to the expected outcome
in these cases, values describing curve fitting parameters (Sinf, S0, Hill Slope, log_AC50, log_AC50_SE) are set to null
b) curve fit is constant where activity is > -30% and < 30% at all tested concentrations, or
c) AC > AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 2 (active) when:
AC <= AC_limit
Activity_Outcome = 3 (inconclusive) when:
a) Curve fitting strategy resulted in a constant fit with activity >= -70% but <= -30%, or
b) The fit was deemed not valid due to poor fit quality.
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 1 (inactive) or 3 (inconclusive),
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = 0
If PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2 (active)
then PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE = (10)(pAC)
Scores relate to AC in this manner:
120 = 1 pM
90 = 1 nM
60 = 1 uM
30 = 1 mM
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be greater than the highest valid tested concentration (Max_Concentration), the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using Max_Concentration as the basis.
When the active concentration (AC) is calculated to be less than the lowest tested concentration, the PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is calculated using the lowest tested concentration as the basis.
Once the data for each test was processed, the test number was appended to all column headers in that test's data set. The individual test results were then aggregated as follows:
1. The final PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME was set to:
a. '2' (active) when all test outcomes were '2' (active), or
b. '1' (inactive) when all test outcomes were '1' (inactive), or
c. '3' (inconclusive) when the test outcomes were mixed.
2. The final ACTIVE_CONCENTRATION (AC) was set as follows:
a. If the final PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 2, AC was set as the mean of the constituent test active concentrations;
b. If the final PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_OUTCOME = 1 or 3, AC was left empty.
3. The final PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE was calculated based on the aggregated ACTIVE_CONCENTRATION, using the same logic described above for individual test scores.
The individual dose data point columns ('Activity_at_xxuM') reported here represent the median of valid (unmasked) replicate observations at each concentration. These values are the inputs to a curve fitting algorithm.
All other data columns represent values which are derived during the curve fitting algorithm; this may sometimes include automatic further masking of some replicate data points.
Occasionally this results in perceived inconsistencies: for example, between the derived 'Maximal_Activity' and the apparent most active data point.
