We developed a model of arm-reaching that uses spiking neural model arranged in dynamic neural fields to encode sensory input and perform reach target selection. The output of the model was used to control a simulated three-dimensional arm and hand in a reciprocal reaching task based on one used in monkey neurophysiological literature. To perform synthetic brain imaging on our model, we have implemented the extended balloon model [1] with a capillary model extension [2]. This simulates blood flow in response to a flow-inducing signal, as well as blood volume, deoxyhemoglobin concentration, oxygen extraction rate and the BOLD response. To facilitate both region- and voxel-based analysis of simulated PET and fMRI responses, simulated neurons in each region are grouped into virtual voxels. Each virtual voxel contains an instantiation of the extended balloon model. The sum of the synaptic activity and transmembrane current magnitudes over all of the neurons in a voxel is used to generate the flow-inducing signal for the rCBF component. This system allows synthetic PET and fMRI signals to be generated simultaneously by sampling the rCBF or BOLD signals, respectively, according to the repetition time (TR) of the scan. The overall model is thus able to address behavioral, electrophysiological and neuroimaging data in both monkeys and humans.

Do same-sex couples "threaten" marriage? Are heterosexual unions somehow vulnerable if gays and lesbians have the same legal rights and benefits? The idea that marriage is "under attack" has become common rhetoric among anti-gay groups and public figures. GOP candidate Rick Santorum, for example, recently blamed LGBTs for the nationwide decline in marriage reported by the Pew Research Center.
But recent statistics out of New York dispute this. The Wall Street Journal reports that the city saw a 14 percent increase in marriages from July to December. New York State legalized same-sex marriage on July 24. Compared to the same time period in 2010, an additional 4,042 marriage licenses were issued last year.
City clerk Michael McSweeney told the WSJ that his office has been overwhelmed but thrilled by the boost. "It's been much busier for us than this time last year," he said. "But we're delighted to see the extra business because we understand the impact."
The state Department of Health is still gathering its own data on same-sex marriages and has yet to release an official number. In New York, counties aren't required to collect gender information from marriage license applicants, so New York City doesn't ask. "We don't want to put people in a position of self-identification," McSweeney told the WSJ.
However, officials point out that marriage statistics in New York City had been relatively stagnant before July 24. They estimate that gay and lesbian unions account for 12 percent of the total number of new marriages in the latter half of 2011. Some of the newlyweds are couples who had been waiting years or even decades to get married.
"It's not that we were sitting around thinking this would finally legitimize our relationship," said Allen Lieb, 59, who wed husband Bart Feller in the New York City Clerk's Office in September. "But when it started to actually happen, we thought that it's an important statement and it makes a big difference legally. It's also a way to say thank you to the people who fought to make this happen."
In Vermont and Iowa, where same-sex marriage was legalized in 2009, a similar spike in marriage occurred after gays and lesbians became eligible for licenses.

How about we take the terms "wife" and "husband" out of marriage in general Ron S. since both terms do have societal "roles" attached to each that can trap gays and straights into unconscious boxes that can cause tension in any relationship. As you said "It denotes equality and does not imply particular "roles" for one or the other partner. " By this logic you say it's o.k. for same-sex married people to be equal to each other but it's not o.k. for straights in a "traditional" style of marriage. I don't see how that is very healthy for those unlucky, unequal "straights".
Can we say "spouse" when referring to same-sex marriage, please? A "husband" requires a "wife" and vice versa. Spouse is a perfectly apt term for the parties to a same-sex marriage. It denotes equality and does not imply particular "roles" for one or the other partner. This should be a part of the style manual for every media organization. Maybe individuals will pick up on that and start using it, instead of men saying they "married their husbands" - which contributes to the discomfort of skeptics and is basically untrue anyhow.

Adaptabilities of three mainstream short-term wind power forecasting methods7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4929957View Description Hide Description
Variability and intermittency of wind is the main challenge for making a reliable wind power forecasting (WPF). Meteorological and topological complexities make it even harder to fit any forecasting algorithm to one particular case. This paper presents the comparison of three short term WPF models based on three wind farms in China with different terrains and climates. The sensitivity effects of training samples on forecasting performance are investigated in terms of sample size, sample quality, and sample time scale. Then, their adaptabilities and modeling efficiency are also discussed under different seasonal and topographic conditions. Results show that (1) radial basis function (RBF) and support vector machine (SVM) generally have higher prediction accuracy than that of genetic algorithm back propagation (GA-BP), but different models show advantages in different seasons and terrains. (2) WPF taking a month as the training time interval can increase the accuracy of short-term WPF. (3) The change of sample number for the GA-BP and RBF is less sensitive than that of the SVM. (4) GA-BP forecasting accuracy is equally sensitive to all size of training samples. RBF and SVM have different sensibility to different size of training samples. This study can quantitatively provide reference for choosing the appropriate WPF model and further optimization for specific engineering cases, based on better understanding of algorithm theory and its adaptability. In this way, WPF users can select the suitable algorithm for different terrains and climates to achieve reliable prediction for market clearing, efficient pricing, dispatching, etc.
A simple methodology for capacity sizing of cogeneration and trigeneration plants in hospitals: A case study for a university hospital7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4930064View Description Hide Description
Energy efficiency applications have great importance for facilities that utilize large amount of electrical and heat energy. Cogeneration (so called Combined Heat and Power; abbreviated as CHP) plants with gas engines are capable of generating both electrical and heat energy simultaneously using a single fuel input. In recent years, the realization of license exemption for facilities willing to produce electricity just for their energy demands by ensuring the condition of 80% total efficiency, low carbon emission of systems contain gas engines, rapid operation for synchronization and shortness of payback periods make cogeneration and trigeneration (so called Combined Cooling, Heat and Power; abbreviated as CCHP) plants more popular. This paper (i) briefly reviews cogeneration and trigeneration plants and their advantages, (ii) presents a novel methodology to determine the optimal capacity ratings for the plants by using the energy consumption profile, (iii) illustrates the calculation procedures including economic profit, thermal efficiency, and electricity generation of the selected system, and (iv) suggests the optimal capacity, plant placement and configuration for a medium-scale hospital. The energy savings potential at the university hospital is estimated as 19.66% and 19.52% with the use of natural gas based cogeneration and trigeneration plant, respectively.
Effect of solar area concentration ratio on performance of a conventional solar still with air humidification-dehumidification7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4930136View Description Hide Description
The high demand for drinking water increased the need to develop new economic methods for water desalination. Conventional solar stills suffer from latent heat losses resulting from water-vapor condensation on the inner surface of the glazing. Using open humidification-dehumidification process with conventional solar stills is a potential area in water desalination nowadays. Integrating a vertical duct to the still for generating a natural draft and solar-air preheater improved its performance. The effect of the solar area concentration ratio on the still performance with heater was studied thoroughly compared to no heater as a reference. Using a condenser in the duct prevents latent heat losses on the inner surface of the glazing and utilizes it to preheat the feed water. This arrangement improved the still productivity. A model was generated to describe the efficiency of the system using three area concentration ratios: 0.5, 0.625, and 0.75. The results showed that the still productivity increased proportionally with the area concentration ratio with average productivity of 5.5 l m−2 day.
Improved multi-objective model predictive control of permanent magnetic synchronous generator wind power system7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4929830View Description Hide Description
A novel sorting-based multi-objective model predictive control strategy for controlling converters of permanent magnetic synchronous generator wind turbines is proposed in this paper. To avoid the nontrivial process of scale factors tuning which is typical in traditional multi-objective model predictive control, sorting and ranking is incorporated in this method where quicksort is utilized to sort the multiple control variables with the principle of variable that has smaller objective function value ranking higher. In addition, predictive direct torque control and direct power control are adopted separately for the generator-side and the grid-side converters in which one-step delay in digital implementation and switching losses are compensated without deterioration of system stability. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations and experimental tests are conducted separately with results showing that the proposed method can get excellent steady and dynamic performance with lowered fluctuations and switching frequencies while avoiding the tedious scale factors tuning process.
Estimation of mean monthly global solar radiation using sunshine hours for Nairobi City, Kenya7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4930530View Description Hide Description
This study estimates the total solar radiation potential over Nairobi City. Several theoretical models based on the initial work of Angstrom have been used to estimate the global solar radiations on a horizontal surface for the city, using bright sunshine hours for the period 2004–2014. The models were developed using the 2004–2012 sunshine hours data and validated by comparing with measured values for 2013 and 2014. Dependencies of the models were tested using Mean Bias Error, Root Mean Square Error, the Nash–Sutcliffe Equation and t-statistics. The result of clearness index for Nairobi shows that the sky is clear all year round except during the June-July-August season where is less than 0.5. Most models tested in the current studies were able to adequately estimate daily mean monthly global radiation from sunshine duration with Akinoglu and Ecevit model giving the best estimation.
Experimental and numerical study on hydrodynamic performance of a wave energy converter using wave-induced motion of floating body7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931462View Description Hide Description
This paper presents results from experimental and numerical investigations on the wave potential extraction of an energy conversion device subjected to regular waves in intermediate water depth. The device is based on a pontoon-type floating breakwater with asymmetric mooring plates. The numerical model is built based on the Navier-Stokes solver coupled with immersed boundary method, volume of fluid method and the mechanics model of energy device. The data obtained in the laboratory investigation suggest that reactive control methods must be employed to optimize the load of the power take off system and maintain the wave energy converter near resonance, which plays an important role in capturing higher wave power. The energy conversion efficiency can reach 14% during experimental runs with only one dynamo installed. Furthermore, by comparing with the experimental results, the applicability of the developed numerical model is demonstrated in predicting the interactions between water waves and the wave power device. With the help of snapshots of water particle velocity field and the wave pressure field from numerical calculation, the flow pattern and external forces from the fluid field can also be estimated. Finally, the effects of mooring angle and the length of floating body on the performance of the energy device are highlighted.
Modeling of photovoltaic array output current based on actual performance using artificial neural networks7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931464View Description Hide Description
This paper presents prediction models for photovoltaic (PV) module's output current. The proposed models are based on empirical, statistical, and artificial neural networks. The adopted artificial neural networks are generalized regression, feed forward, and cascaded forward neural networks. The proposed models have two inputs, namely, solar radiation and ambient temperature, while system's output current is the output. Two years of experimental data for a 1.4 kWp PV system are utilized in this research. These data are recorded every 10 seconds in order to consider the uncertainty of system's output current. Three statistical values are used to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed models, namely, mean absolute percentage error, mean bias error, and root mean square error. A comparison between the proposed models in terms of prediction accuracy is conducted. The results show that the generalized regression neural network based model exceeds the other models. The mean absolute percentage error, root mean square error, and mean bias error of the generalized regression neural network model are 4.97%, 5.67%, and −1.17%, respectively.
Analysis of the maximum efficiency of kite-power systems7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931111View Description Hide Description
This paper analyzes the maximum power that a kite, or system of kites, can extract from the wind. First, a number of existing results on kite system efficiency are reviewed. The results that are generally applicable require significant simplifying assumptions, usually neglecting the effects of inertia and gravity. On the other hand, the more precise analyses are usually only applicable to a particular type of kite-power system. Second, a novel result is derived that relates the maximum power output of a kite system to the angle of the average aerodynamic force produced by the system. This result essentially requires no limiting assumptions, and as such it is generally applicable. As it considers average forces that must be balanced, inertial forces are implicitly accounted for. In order to derive practically useful results, the maximum power output is expressed in terms of the system overall strength-to-weight ratio, the tether angle, and the tether drag through an efficiency factor. The result is a simple analytic expression that can be used to calculate the maximum power-producing potential for a system of wings, flying either dynamically or statically, supported by a tether. As an example, the analysis is applied to two systems currently under development, namely, pumping-cycle generators and jet-stream wind power.
Influence of pretreatment processes onto bio-methanation of wheat straw7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931465View Description Hide Description
Lignocellulosic wastes, inexpensive and potential sources of bioenergy were explored for delignification and production of biogas. Wheat straw was subjected to chemical and biological treatment methods for removal of lignin, facilitating bio-methanation. Pretreatment produced remarkable results with an enhanced amount of methane. Bio-methanation of wheat straw after pretreatment produced biogas with an appreciable methane content (acid treatment 80%, alkaline treatment 74%, thermal treatment 77%, and fungal treatment 92%). Among all, fungal treatment responded to maximum delignification and biogas generation. The method has the potential to be converted to technology for large scale operations.
Bandwidth widening of vibration energy harvesters through a multi-stage design7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931794View Description Hide Description
A vibration harvester is usually designed to work in resonance responding to source vibration. However, in many cases, this source vibration may occur at a wide range of frequencies. If the harvester has very narrow tuning range, it becomes ineffective when there is a mismatch in the frequencies between source excitation and device resonance. Increasing the bandwidth of vibration harvesters has been an important design objective. We propose a two-stage design to improve of a harvester's performance. In a previous work [J. S. Fernando and Q. Sun, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 84(11), 114704 (2013)], we have demonstrated that use of a two-stage design can increase the power production at a single frequency excitation. In this paper, we will show that a two-stage design can also increase the width of the usable frequency band of the harvester. An optimization routine was used to determine the optimal choice of harvester design parameters with respect to the maximization of an objective function. Experiments were used to verify the electromechanical model as well as the trends predicted by the optimization. Performance comparisons between single- and two-stage harvesters are made through numerical simulation and experiments.
Evaluation of mixing quality in anaerobic digester7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4923327View Description Hide Description
A new criterion of mixing quality in anaerobic digester based on the most important process parameters of methane fermentation is proposed. A set of numerical studies of mixing quality in anaerobic digesters of cylindrical shape with various systems of hydraulic mixing was carried out. Comparative analysis using the proposed criterion as well as other known methods of evaluation of mixing quality showed that results of evaluation of mixing quality in anaerobic digester using different methods are consistent with each other and are not contradictory.
Evaluation and comparison of the levelized cost of tidal, wave, and offshore wind energy7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4932154View Description Hide Description
In the current context of environmental degradation and depletion of fossil fuels, marine energy has emerged as an alternative to traditional energy resources. However, being in an initial step of development, extracting energy from the ocean is often regarded as difficult and uneconomical. The existing models for assessing marine energy costs are often oversimplified, leading to uncertainties that may hold investors back and slow down the market penetration of this renewable. Therefore, an accurate prediction of marine energy costs is fundamental to drawing conclusions about its competitiveness. Among the different possibilities of marine energy, this paper focuses on the economic analysis of tidal, wave, and offshore wind energy. The individual costs involved in the construction of these offshore energy parks and operation and maintenance tasks during their lifetime are determined. With this information, the levelized cost (€/MW h) is calculated for offshore wind, wave and tidal energy (€165/MW h, €225/MW h and €190/MW h, respectively). It is found that these renewables have a higher energy cost than traditional energy sources; however, considering factors such as the learning rate or externalities enhances their competitiveness. In the second part of this paper, combined energy systems, such as hybrid converters, are presented as a future solution to boost the development of marine energies. The synergies between these renewables are outlined, as well as the cost savings that can be achieved through diversified energy systems.
Economic and energy analysis of domestic ground source heat pump systems in four Canadian cities7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4931902View Description Hide Description
This study provides an economic and energy analysis of the implementation of geothermal systems to meet the needs of a typical 130 m2 dwelling of a Canadian individual. The objective is to determine the monetary balance after 22 years, the net present value, the internal return rate, and annual savings for the same system operating under different climatic conditions and in different provinces (legislations, costs of fuel) to determine whether or not an individual should implement such a system in 2014. The geothermal system is used for both space heating and cooling, and to provide for 25% of the total amount of domestic hot water. The simulations are performed with RETScreen® for four Canadian cities: Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. For the investigated configurations, it appeared that the cost of energy and its sources, which varied greatly according to the location, are the factors that most strongly influenced the economic viability of the proposed geothermal system, while climate was only a secondary impact. The impact of carbon taxes and equivalent monetary subsidies does not significantly modify the economic outcomes for Halifax and Montreal. However, for Toronto and Vancouver, these would need to reach between 280 and 300 Can$/tCO2eq to attain economic balance.
Assessment and analysis on numerical and experimental performance of the photovoltaic systems for Germany and Turkey7(2015); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4933063View Description Hide Description
Solar energy plants are popular due to their low cost, and environmental friendly and renewable nature. Germany is the leading country in the solar energy market in the world. Turkey also possesses a very high potential in terms of solar energy among European countries. The present study aims to draw attention to solar energy plants and define its applicability for these two countries. Two identical photovoltaic systems, installed in Turkey and Germany, were analyzed. First, we introduced the experimental results of two installed photovoltaic systems. Second, we numerically modelled two photovoltaic systems and processed the data with PVsyst in order to compare and verify experimental results. Numerical results display a good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the performance of the modelling system is high, and that it can be used as a tentative photovoltaic system prior to installation. In addition, the solar energy capacities of Turkey and Germany are analyzed and discussed in detail.

Article: Oxytocin and Epstein-Barr Virus: Stress Biomarkers in the Postpartum Period Among First-Time Mothers from Sao Paulo, Brazil[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between self-reported stress levels among new mothers in São Paulo, Brazil and two biomarkers of stressful experience, oxytocin (OT) and Epstein-Barr Virus antibody level (EBV-ab), with planned pregnancy hypothesized as a moderator of biological response to stressful conditions. Sixty-three first-time mothers between the ages of 15 and 45 were recruited from neighborhoods in São Paulo, Brazil. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected longitudinally, bi-weekly between two and 12 weeks postpartum. OT level was assessed from breast milk samples and EBV-ab from blood spot samples. An Interpersonal Satisfaction scale was developed, validated, and administered, along with the Cohen perceived stress scale (PSS). In-depth interview data revealed unplanned pregnancy to be a significant stressor in the lives of first-time mothers. In linear regression, OT level was negatively associated with interpersonal satisfaction score (P = 0.022) and positively associated with PSS score (P = 0.007). When splitting the sample by planned status of the pregnancy, women with an unplanned pregnancy showed a strengthened positive association between OT level and PSS (P = 0.001; Adj R(2) = 0.44) and negative association with interpersonal satisfaction (P = 0.017; Adj R(2) = 0.15), while no associations existed for women with a planned pregnancy. EBV-ab level was not correlated or associated with stress/satisfaction measures. OT is an effective biomarker in the measurement of stress in the body, and additionally reflects differential experiences with difficult interpersonal circumstances, such as unplanned pregnancy. By contrast, EBV-ab failed to reflect differences in self-reported stress levels between mothers. Am. J. Hum.

ABSTRACT: Niche construction refers to the activities of organisms that bring about changes in their environments, many of which are evolutionarily and ecologically consequential. Advocates of niche construction theory (NCT) believe that standard evolutionary theory fails to recognize the full importance of niche construction, and consequently propose a novel view of evolution, in which niche construction and its legacy over time (ecological inheritance) are described as evolutionary processes, equivalent in importance to natural selection. Here, we subject NCT to critical evaluation, in the form of a collaboration between one prominent advocate of NCT, and a team of skeptics. We discuss whether niche construction is an evolutionary process, whether NCT obscures or clarifies how natural selection leads to organismal adaptation, and whether niche construction and natural selection are of equivalent explanatory importance. We also consider whether the literature that promotes NCT overstates the significance of niche construction, whether it is internally coherent, and whether it accurately portrays standard evolutionary theory. Our disagreements reflect a wider dispute within evolutionary theory over whether the neo-Darwinian synthesis is in need of reformulation, as well as different usages of some key terms (e.g. evolutionary process).

Article: Testing for Post-Copulatory Selection for Major Histocompatibility Complex Genotype in a Semi-Free-Ranging Primate Population.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A large body of evidence suggests that major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotype influences mate choice. However, few studies have investigated MHC-mediated post-copulatory mate choice under natural, or even semi-natural, conditions. We set out to explore this question in a large semi-free-ranging population of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) using MHC-DRB genotypes for 127 parent-offspring triads. First, we showed that offspring MHC heterozygosity correlates positively with parental MHC dissimilarity suggesting that mating among MHC dissimilar mates is efficient in increasing offspring MHC diversity. Second, we compared the haplotypes of the parental dyad with those of the offspring to test whether post-copulatory sexual selection favored offspring with two different MHC haplotypes, more diverse gamete combinations, or greater within-haplotype diversity. Limited statistical power meant that we could only detect medium or large effect sizes. Nevertheless, we found no evidence for selection for heterozygous offspring when parents share a haplotype (large effect size), genetic dissimilarity between parental haplotypes (we could detect an odds ratio of ≥1.86), or within-haplotype diversity (medium-large effect). These findings suggest that comparing parental and offspring haplotypes may be a useful approach to test for post-copulatory selection when matings cannot be observed, as is the case in many study systems. However, it will be extremely difficult to determine conclusively whether post-copulatory selection mechanisms for MHC genotype exist, particularly if the effect sizes are small, due to the difficulty in obtaining a sufficiently large sample.

Article: Why is combinatorial communication rare in the natural world, and why is language an exception to this trend?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a combinatorial communication system, some signals consist of the combinations of other signals. Such systems are more efficient than equivalent, non-combinatorial systems, yet despite this they are rare in nature. Why? Previous explanations have focused on the adaptive limits of combinatorial communication, or on its purported cognitive difficulties, but neither of these explains the full distribution of combinatorial communication in the natural world. Here, we present a nonlinear dynamical model of the emergence of combinatorial communication that, unlike previous models, considers how initially non-communicative behaviour evolves to take on a communicative function. We derive three basic principles about the emergence of combinatorial communication. We hence show that the interdependence of signals and responses places significant constraints on the historical pathways by which combinatorial signals might emerge, to the extent that anything other than the most simple form of combinatorial communication is extremely unlikely. We also argue that these constraints can be bypassed if individuals have the socio-cognitive capacity to engage in ostensive communication. Humans, but probably no other species, have this ability. This may explain why language, which is massively combinatorial, is such an extreme exception to nature's general trend for non-combinatorial communication.Journal of The Royal Society Interface 08/2013; 10(88):20130520.

Article: Health impacts of pedestrian head-loading: A review of the evidence with particular reference to women and children in sub-Saharan Africa[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Across sub-Saharan Africa, women and children play major roles as pedestrian load-transporters, in the widespread absence of basic sanitation services, electricity and affordable/reliable motorised transport. The majority of loads, including water and firewood for domestic purposes, are carried on the head. Load-carrying has implications not only for school attendance and performance, women's time budgets and gender relations, but arguably also for health and well-being. We report findings from a comprehensive review of relevant literature, undertaken June-September 2012, focussing particularly on biomechanics, maternal health, and the psycho-social impacts of load-carrying; we also draw from our own research. Key knowledge gaps and areas for future research are highlighted.Social Science [?] Medicine 07/2013; 88C:90-97. DOI:10.1016/j.socscimed.2013.04.010
Article: Could parental rules play a role in the association between short sleep and obesity in young children?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Summary Short sleep duration is associated with obesity in young children. This study develops the hypothesis that parental rules play a role in this association. Participants were 3-year-old children and their parents, recruited at nursery schools in socioeconomically deprived and non-deprived areas of a North-East England town. Parents were interviewed to assess their use of sleep, television-viewing and dietary rules, and given diaries to document their child's sleep for 4 days/5 nights. Children were measured for height, weight, waist circumference and triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses. One-hundred and eight families participated (84 with complete sleep data and 96 with complete body composition data). Parental rules were significantly associated together, were associated with longer night-time sleep and were more prevalent in the non-deprived-area compared with the deprived-area group. Television-viewing and dietary rules were associated with leaner body composition. Parental rules may in part confound the association between night-time sleep duration and obesity in young children, as rules cluster together across behavioural domains and are associated with both sleep duration and body composition. This hypothesis should be tested rigorously in large representative samples.Journal of Biosocial Science 06/2013; 46(03):1-14. DOI:10.1017/S0021932013000291

ABSTRACT: One of the most pervasive assumptions about human brain evolution is that it involved relative enlargement of the frontal lobes. We show that this assumption is without foundation. Analysis of five independent data sets using correctly scaled measures and phylogenetic methods reveals that the size of human frontal lobes, and of specific frontal regions, is as expected relative to the size of other brain structures. Recent claims for relative enlargement of human frontal white matter volume, and for relative enlargement shared by all great apes, seem to be mistaken. Furthermore, using a recently developed method for detecting shifts in evolutionary rates, we find that the rate of change in relative frontal cortex volume along the phylogenetic branch leading to humans was unremarkable and that other branches showed significantly faster rates of change. Although absolute and proportional frontal region size increased rapidly in humans, this change was tightly correlated with corresponding size increases in other areas and whole brain size, and with decreases in frontal neuron densities. The search for the neural basis of human cognitive uniqueness should therefore focus less on the frontal lobes in isolation and more on distributed neural networks.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 05/2013; 110(22).

ABSTRACT: The sediments of Bed II at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, have received less scientific scrutiny than Bed I strata, likely due to the lower density of fossil hominins in the younger layers. Nevertheless, Bed II provides important contextual information about changes over time in early hominin environments. Mammal fossils from Bed II are separated into older and younger faunas by a regional disconformity under which lies an aeolian tuff, the Lemuta Member, dated to ∼1.74 Ma (millions of years ago). Differences between the faunal communities above and below the Lemuta Member have been previously noted and interpreted as evidence for distinct environmental change. Here, we investigate the palaeoecological conditions that characterised the transition between older and younger Bed II sites via analysis of their mammalian community ecological niche exploitation profiles, comparing these to known modern habitats. We present a comprehensive species list for both Bed II faunas. An initial correspondence analysis points to palaeoecological differences in pre- and post-Lemuta Member assemblages, although neither is representative of a forest habitat. When taphonomic differences in body mass profiles are taken into account, however, ecological differences appear far less important. Based on a resampling procedure to generate modern locality data with body mass profiles similar to the Bed II faunas, discriminant correspondence analyses liken both fossil assemblages to modern woodland habitats, with Lower Bed II having some affinity to floodplain and marshy woodlands, likely related to the presence of the Olduvai palaeolake in this stratigraphic interval. A comparison of the Bed II faunas to each other suggests that their differences could reasonably be sampled from within a single modern habitat. Although additional evidence points to an increase in aridity subsequent to the Lemuta Member, the importance of woodland habitats throughout Bed II is clear.Journal of Human Evolution 04/2013; 64(6).

Dateline: Saudi Arabia—An 8-year-old girl who was married off by her father to a 58-year-old man has been told by a Saudi court she's too young to get a divorce. Lawyer Abdu Jtili said the divorce petition was filed by the unnamed girl's divorced mother in August after the marriage contract was signed by her father and the groom. The judge dismissed the plea because the mother did not have the right to file. He recommended the girl refile the petition herself once she reaches puberty. Relatives of the girl said the marriage had not been consummated and that the girl was still living with her mother. The case was handled by a court in Qasim province, north of the Saudi capital Riyadh. Mr. Jtili told the AFP news agency that he would appeal the judge's decision.
I had a different take on Daoust's letter [Re: "No Love (for the Don)," Dec. 4-10] that I wasn't surprised A. Valery [Letters, "Normies vs. Nuts," Dec. 18-24] misunderstood. I think the point was Don is nuts, but that's OK. It's the fact that he writes letters that appear to chastise the rest of the world for not living the way he does. The Alibi extorts his oddness for circulation purposes only. Daoust didn't say anything about conformity. I took his statements to mean that if you want to be un-normal, fine, but don't flaunt your lifestyle as the model others should follow. Live and let live, but don't act as though you're the only one that has life all figured out. It looks like The Don and A. Valery have much in common.

text: DoubtingThomas Berlin Contact : email@example.com Info/bookings: jessica(at)Lesszimore.com Press: Olivia(at)Lesszimore.com DoubtingThomas Biography: With a tireless work ethic and a focus on creation rather than infamy. His rise as DoubtingThomas has been a slow and steady one, with releases on key underground labels and prestigious residencies confirming what those in the know already understand; that this is an artist worth paying attention to. While he has been producing since the 90s when he was exploring downtempo trip hop and ambient sounds, DoubtingThomas has been continuously immersing himself in a wide range of styles that all feed into the more dancefloor focused material he works on today. During his time spent in London throughout the 00's he developed a live set which has become one of the key channels for his creative energy. Meanwhile he scored releases on labels such as Soul Jazz, Safari Electronique, Lessizmo:r and Adjunct Audio amongst others at the peak of minimal techno's creativity. Besides this more personal work he composes music for Universal Publishing and Cezame Music Agency in a commercial capacity. His sound has always drawn upon wider influences than cookie-cutter dancefloor music, reaching to jazz and musique concrete to find textures that challenge in between the rhythms, and so it is that his distinctive live set has become his calling card in recent times. With recent tours taking him to the likes of Arma in Moscow, Rex Club in Paris and across the US, audiences around the world have been awoken to the distinctive DoubtingThomas sound. It's the same kind of unique spirit that he brings to his DJing, taking chances to present a crowd with an alternative to the straight and narrow rules of so much club music. While the performances keep on rolling, Aurelien is also investing his considerable energy into a multitude of recording projects from his current base in Berlin, continuing a thread started with the downtempo collaborative project D.O.T.S he began in London and moving it away from a jazz leaning to more experimental pastures under the AKHOXET banner. Alongside that venture he has a spread of releases planned, including more than one album in the works. As previously stated, the restless approach to his craft promises great things on the horizon for DoubtingThomas.

someone needs to ACTIVATE THE SERPENT..I could have a year ago but unfortunately I went into this damn spiral and now it will take some time to repair (my brain)---so.....I dont know if I have 'time' to do it prior to an 'evacuation' as nobody says...I am of course, out of the 'loop' as one of the dogs in the sand even though im rather comfortable (so thanks heaven).
If someone expects me to activate the serpent before november then we may have some probelms. I do think it is POSSIBLE and I will do everything in my power to make it happen, uniting the earth with the psychic faculty of one, but I CAN MAKE NO PROMISES, and qutie frankly, its rather unlikely if there is in fact some sort of deadline (2012, etc).
I could do it beyond 2012 but this year is going to be hard, but again, Ill be doing what I can to activate it.
To anyone else that wishes to activate the serpent---nobody in particular, I bet you could do it, why dont you.

The state's budget repair bill enacted last year reduced bargaining power for most public employees.
In Wauwatosa, the bill has had the effect of rendering unions representing city employees inactive, and the city is beginning the process of structuring pay and other aspects of employee compensation that were formerly negotiated.
"All of the people who were in unions that aren't now, their compensation system was contractual," said Human Resources Director Beth Aldana. "We need to make a decision about what kind of compensation system these formerly represented positions should have."
This does not apply to members of the police and fire unions, which like their counterparts elsewhere in the state retain full bargaining power.
There were 77 non-represented city workers before Act 10, said city Finance Director John Ruggini, and they worked under a step system of pay increases. The number of non-represented employees added since then is 156, Ruggini said.
Envisioning a new system
Aldana said a new comprehensive system is needed. It may or may not look like the system non-union employees worked under before Act 10, she said.
The first step is to understand where the city stands in relation to other employers. Aldana asked the Budget Committee last month to allow the city to hire a consultant, at $45,000 to $50,000, taken from the 2012 budget, to study what comparable employers are paying for similar positions.
"We would identify all of the positions that we wanted reviewed and then a consultant gathers market data on comparable positions," she said.
The study would also include "an element of pay for performance," Aldana said. A third feature of the study will include recommendations for implementation.
The study may take four or five months, and policies drawn from it may be implemented at some point next year, she said.
Aldana said that before Act 10, the city's goal was to pay its non-represented employees at or slightly above market rates, and it periodically did compensation studies of those employees. The city also has begun doing a market study for each new position. This has created what officials refer to as "two-tier" system of compensation - one tier for new employees and another for existing employees.
The consultant's work may show that some filled positions are above market rates while others are below. Aldana said "it's possible" that pay rates may be adjusted up or down, but said it was "way too early to say." Those policy decisions will be made by the Common Council, she noted.
Creating better workers
Beyond pay, Aldana seeks to put an employee development program in place.
"It's a very broad concept," she said. "It could mean improving skills. It could mean enhancing skills they currently have, or acquiring new skills."
Either way, it would provide "professional opportunities for employees, so they can continue to grow and learn as employees," Aldana said.
She looks to have a busy year, reviewing compensation, and implementing a comprehensive city safety program designed to protect workers and cut health care costs and workers compensation claims.
