Behrman, Meena Cabral De Mello, Paul Gertler, Lydia Kapiriri, Reynaldo Martorell, Mary Eming Young, International Child Development Steering Group
Psychology and Child Development
This paper is the third in the Child Development Series. The first paper showed that more than 200 million children under 5 years of age in developing countries do not reach their developmental potential. The second paper identified four well-documented risks: stunting, iodine deficiency, iron deficiency anaemia, and inadequate cognitive stimulation, plus four potential risks based on epidemiological evidence: maternal depression, violence exposure, environmental contamination, and malaria. This paper assesses strategies to promote child development and to prevent or ameliorate the loss of developmental potential. The most effective early child development programmes provide direct learning experiences to children and families, …

Discriminant Function Analysis In Marine Ecology: Some Oversights And Their Solutions, J. Wilson White, Benjamin I. Ruttenberg
Discriminant Function Analysis In Marine Ecology: Some Oversights And Their Solutions, J. Wilson White, Benjamin I. Ruttenberg
Biological Sciences
Marine ecologists commonly use discriminant function analysis (DFA) to evaluate the similarity of distinct populations and to classify individuals of unknown origin to known populations. However, investigators using DFA must account for (1) the possibility of correct classification due to chance alone, and (2) the influence of prior probabilities of group membership on classification results. A search of the recent otolith chemistry literature showed that these two concerns are sometimes ignored, so we used simulated data sets to explore the potential pitfalls of such oversights. We found that when estimating reclassification success for a training data set, small sample sizes …

Biomechanics Of The Rabbit Knee And Ankle: Muscle, Ligament, And Joint Contact Force Predictions, Dustin M. Grover, Andrew A. Chen, Scott J. Hazelwood
Biomechanics Of The Rabbit Knee And Ankle: Muscle, Ligament, And Joint Contact Force Predictions, Dustin M. Grover, Andrew A. Chen, Scott J. Hazelwood
Biomedical Engineering
Mathematical models of small animals that predict in vivo forces acting on the lower extremities are critical for studies of musculoskeletal biomechanics and diseases. Rabbits are advantageous in this regard because they remodel their cortical bone similar to humans. Here, we enhance a recent mathematical model of the rabbit knee joint to include the loading behavior of individual muscles, ligaments, and joint contact at the knee and ankle during the stance phase of hopping. Geometric data from the hindlimbs of three adult New Zealand white rabbits, combined with previously reported intersegmental forces and moments, were used as inputs to the …
Volume Effects On Fatigue Life Of Equine Cortical Bone, R. F. Bigley, J. C. Gibeling, S. M. Stover, S. J. Hazelwood, D. P. Fyhrie, R. B. Martin
Volume Effects On Fatigue Life Of Equine Cortical Bone, R. F. Bigley, J. C. Gibeling, S. M. Stover, S. J. Hazelwood, D. P. Fyhrie, R. B. Martin
Biomedical Engineering
Materials, including bone, often fail due to loading in the presence of critical flaws. The relative amount, location, and interaction of these flaws within a stressed volume of material play a role in determining the failure properties of the structure. As materials are generally imperfect, larger volumes of material have higher probabilities of containing a flaw of critical size than do smaller volumes. Thus, larger volumes tend to fail at fewer cycles compared with smaller volumes when fatigue loaded to similar stress levels. A material is said to exhibit a volume effect if its failure properties are dependent on the …
The Role Of Local And Regional Processes In Structuring Larval Dragonfly Distributions Across Habitat Gradients, S J. Mccauley
The Role Of Local And Regional Processes In Structuring Larval Dragonfly Distributions Across Habitat Gradients, S J. Mccauley
Biological Sciences
Despite the importance of community-structuring processes operating at both local and regional scales, there is relatively little work examining both forces within a single system. I used a combination of observational and experimental approaches to examine the processes structuring larval dragonfly distributions in lentic habitats that encompass a gradient of both permanence and top predator type. I compared the relative vulnerability of species to predators from different portions of this gradient to assess the role of predation as a local force structuring communities. I also assessed the role of regional processes on species’ distributions by examining species’ propensity to disperse …

Arbor Day Confusion, William D. Stansfield
The Long And Winding Road: Influences Of Intracellular Metabolite Diffusion On Cellular Organization And Metabolism In Skeletal Muscle, Stephen T. Kinsey, Kristin M. Hardy, Bruce R. Locke
The Long And Winding Road: Influences Of Intracellular Metabolite Diffusion On Cellular Organization And Metabolism In Skeletal Muscle, Stephen T. Kinsey, Kristin M. Hardy, Bruce R. Locke
Biological Sciences
A fundamental principle of physiology is that cells are small in order to minimize diffusion distances for O2 and intracellular metabolites. In skeletal muscle, it has long been recognized that aerobic fibers that are used for steady state locomotion tend to be smaller than anaerobic fibers that are used for burst movements. This tendency reflects the interaction between diffusion distances and aerobic ATP turnover rates, since maximal intracellular diffusion distances are ultimately limited by fiber size. The effect of diffusion distance on O2 flux in muscle has been the subject of quantitative analyses for a century, but the …

History And Behavioral Ecology During The Middle-Late Transition On The Central California Coast: Findings From The Coon Creek Site (Ca-Slo-9), San Luis Obispo County, Brian F. Codding, Terry L. Jones
History And Behavioral Ecology During The Middle-Late Transition On The Central California Coast: Findings From The Coon Creek Site (Ca-Slo-9), San Luis Obispo County, Brian F. Codding, Terry L. Jones
Social Sciences
As the focus of intense debate concerning the possible effects of environmental variability on Native populations, the Middle-Late Transition (MLT) is an exceptionally important period in California prehistory. Recent salvage excavations at the Coon Creek Site (CA-SLO-9) on the San Luis Obispo County coast revealed a single, highly discrete component dating cal A.D.900–1300 which is largely synchronous with most definitions of the MLT. With a recovery volume of 23.2 m3, this is the first component to yield artifact and faunal assemblages substantive enough to establish the culture historical markers for this period in this region, and to define …

Review Of Methods For Modelling Systems Evolution, Charles F. Nicholson
Review Of Methods For Modelling Systems Evolution, Charles F. Nicholson
Agribusiness
Acceleration of economic, technological, social, and environmental change challenge decision-makers of various kinds to learn at increasing rates, and at the same time, the complexity of the dynamic systems in which we live is growing (Sterman 2000). In agriculture and international development contexts, there are often significant delays in the development and implementation of technologies and policies, and agriculture-based livelihood systems are in constant and sometimes rapid evolution. In order to make technologies and policies better match the future state of these systems, it is necessary to better understand the likely evolution of agricultural systems. The goal of these efforts …
Proximate Developmental Mediators Of Sexual Dimorphism In Size: Case Studies From Squamate Reptiles, Henry B. John‐Alder, Robert M. Cox, Emily N. Taylor
Proximate Developmental Mediators Of Sexual Dimorphism In Size: Case Studies From Squamate Reptiles, Henry B. John‐Alder, Robert M. Cox, Emily N. Taylor
Biological Sciences
Sexual dimorphism in size (sexual size dimorphism; SSD) is nearly ubiquitous, but the relative importance of genetic versus environmental control of SSD is not known for most species. We investigated proximate determinants of SSD in several species of squamate reptiles, including three species of Sceloporus lizards and the diamond‐backed rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox). In natural populations of these species, SSD is caused by sexual differences in age‐specific growth. Males and females, however, may often share similar potentials for growth: growth is strongly responsive to the availability of food, and sexual differences in growth can be greatly suppressed or completely …
Nontarget Effects Of The Mosquito Adulticide Pyrethrin Applied Aerially During A West Nile Virus Outbreak In An Urban California Environment, Walter M. Boyce, Sharon P. Lawler, Jennifer M. Schultz, Shannon J. Mccauley, Lynn S. Kimsey, Michael K. Niemela, Carrie F. Nielsen, William K. Reisen
Nontarget Effects Of The Mosquito Adulticide Pyrethrin Applied Aerially During A West Nile Virus Outbreak In An Urban California Environment, Walter M. Boyce, Sharon P. Lawler, Jennifer M. Schultz, Shannon J. Mccauley, Lynn S. Kimsey, Michael K. Niemela, Carrie F. Nielsen, William K. Reisen
Biological Sciences
In August 2006, a pyrethrin insecticide synergized with piperonyl butoxide (EverGreen Crop Protection EC 60-6, McLaughlin Gormley King Company, Golden Valley, MN) was sprayed in ultralow volumes over the city of Davis, CA, by the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District to control mosquitoes transmitting West Nile virus. Concurrently, we evaluated the impact of the insecticide on nontarget arthropods by 1) comparing mortality of treatment and control groups of sentinel arthropods, and 2) measuring the diversity and abundance of dead arthropods found on treatment and control tarps placed on the ground. We found no effect of spraying on nontarget sentinel …
Indo-Fijian Children’S Bmi In The Context Of Urbanization, Embodied Capital, And Food Choice Trade-Offs, Dawn B. Neill
Indo-Fijian Children’S Bmi In The Context Of Urbanization, Embodied Capital, And Food Choice Trade-Offs, Dawn B. Neill
Social Sciences
Health research has shown that overweight and obesity in children and adults are becoming significant public health problems in the developing world. Evidence suggests that this phenomenon is more marked in urban than rural areas and may be associated with modernization. However, the underlying reasons for this nutrition transition remain unclear. Dietary shifts, often in conjunction with income and time constraints in urban environments, may entail a greater reliance on more convenient sugar and fat-dense food. Also, the necessity of labor-intensive agricultural work to meet rural subsistence needs is supplanted in urban environments by sedentary work. This paper extends the …
Compartmentalization Of The Broad-Range Phospholipase C Activity To The Spreading Vacuole Is Critical For Listeria Monocytogenes Virulence, P.S. Marie Yeung, Yoojin Na, Amanda J. Kreuder, Helene Marquis
Compartmentalization Of The Broad-Range Phospholipase C Activity To The Spreading Vacuole Is Critical For Listeria Monocytogenes Virulence, P.S. Marie Yeung, Yoojin Na, Amanda J. Kreuder, Helene Marquis
Biological Sciences
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterial pathogen that multipliesin the cytosol of host cells and spreads directly from cellto cell by using an actin-based mechanism of motility. The broad-rangephospholipase C (PC-PLC) of L. monocytogenes contributes tobacterial escape from vacuoles formed upon cell-to-cell spread.PC-PLC is made as an inactive proenzyme whose activation requirescleavage of an N-terminal propeptide. During infection, PC-PLCis activated specifically in acidified vacuoles. To assess theimportance of compartmentalizing PC-PLC activity during infection,we created a mutant that makes constitutively active PC-PLC(the plcBpro mutant). Results from intracellular growth andcell-to-cell spread assays showed that the plcBpro mutant wassensitive to gentamicin, suggesting …
