Anchored in critical analysis of a photovoice project, this article interrogates intersections between (1) health as it is tethered to ideas about the “future” and (2) worries “the environment.” The ways concepts future, environment are dealt with by project participants suggest that arts-based research methods may be at risk being seen non-political spaces safe for people privilege envision so...

We establish well-defined limits in which the time-dependent electronic currents across a molecular junction subject to a fluctuating environment can be quantitatively captured via the Landauer steady-state approximation. For this, we calculate the exact time-dependent non-equilibrium Green's function (TD-NEGF) current along a model two-site molecular junction, in which the site energies are su...

Children involved in mutually hostile interactions at home are at risk of experiencing adjustment problems in other everyday life contexts. However, little is known about whether the pattern of mutual hostility at home is reproduced by high-conflict youths in other interpersonal contexts. In this study, we examined whether adolescents involved in mutually hostile interactions with their parents...

The fields of concert hall acoustics and sound reproduction are traditionally studied separately, with little interaction between them. However, it is apparent that a great deal can be gained from combining the two disciplines, as long as the differences are considered. Firstly, the perceived spatial impression afforded by the two acoustical situations is reviewed, and the similarities and diff...

When a virtual sound source is reproduced by a linear loudspeaker array, listeners can perceive not only the direction of the source, but also its distance. Control over perceived distance has often been implemented via the adjustment of various acoustic parameters, such as loudness, spectrum change, and the direct-to-reverberant energy ratio; however, there is a neglected yet powerful cue to t...

Expression patterns of the intermediate filament proteins (IFPs) desmin and vimentin, in biopsy material taken from a 1 day old boy with fatal neonatal X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) were compared with the expression of these proteins in cultured myotubes, from the same patient. Immunohistochemical studies revealed the persistence of high levels of desmin in virtually all, and vimentin in...

Chlamydiae replicate in a vacuole within epithelial cells and commonly induce cell damage and a deleterious inflammatory response of unknown molecular pathogenesis. The chlamydial protease-like activity factor (CPAF) translocates from the vacuole to the cytosol, where it cleaves several cellular proteins. CPAF is synthesized as an inactive precursor that is processed and activated during infect...
