Mood disorders in familial epilepsy: A test of shared etiology
No full textObjective: Mood disorders are the most common comorbid conditions in epilepsy but the cause remains unclear. One possible explanation is a shared genetic susceptibility to epilepsy and mood disorders. We tested this hypothesis by evaluating lifetime prevalence of mood disorders in relatives with and without epilepsy in families containing multiple individuals with epilepsy, and comparing the findings with rates from a general population sample.
Methods: The Composite International Diagnostic Interview was administered to 192 individuals from 60 families, including 110 participants with epilepsy of unknown cause (50 focal epilepsy [FE], 42 generalized epilepsy [GE], 6 FE and GE, 12 unclassifiable) and 82 relatives without epilepsy (RWOE). Odds ratios (ORs) for lifetime prevalence of mood disorders in participants with versus without epilepsy were computed through logistic regression, using generalized estimation equations to account for familial clustering. Standardized prevalence ratios (SPRs) were used to compare prevalence in family members with general population rates.
Results: Compared with RWOE, ORs for mood disorders were significantly increased in participants with FE (OR = 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1 - 5.2) but not in those with GE (OR = 1.0, 95% CI = 0.4 - 2.2). In addition, prevalence of mood disorders was increased in individuals with epilepsy who had ≥1 relative with FE. Compared with general population rates, mood disorders were significantly increased in individuals with FE but not in those with GE. Rates were also increased in RWOE, but not significantly so (SPR = 1.4, P = 0.14).
Significance: These findings are consistent with the hypothesis of shared genetic susceptibility to epilepsy and mood disorders, but suggest (1) the effect may be restricted to FE, and (2) the shared genetic effect on risk of mood disorders and epilepsy may be restricted to individuals with epilepsy, that is, to those in whom the genetic risk for epilepsy is “penetrant.”Peer reviewedThis is the accepted version of the following article: Insel BJ, Ottman R, Heiman GA.

Pointcut Design with AODL
No full textThe designing of pointcuts is a crucial step in Aspect-Oriented software development. Pointcuts decide the places where aspects interact with the base system. Without designing these pointcuts properly, the weaving process of aspects with the base system cannot be modelled efficiently. A good design of pointcuts can ensure proper identification of join points, clear representation of advice-pointcut relationships and overall efficiency of the weaving process of the system. The existing approaches do not design pointcuts separately from their parent aspects, which hinders in identifying pointcut conflicts before the implementation of the system. This paper provides a set of graphical notations to represent join points, pointcuts, advices and aspects. A graphical diagram has been proposed that shows the relationships between pointcuts and their relevant advices. The paper also provides a technique to represent and document pointcuts along with their related advices and corresponding base elements in a tabular way. The technique can help in resolving two of the most complicated problems of pointcut modelling, the fragile pointcut problem and the shared join point problem
Gas volume fraction and velocity profiles: vertical and inclined bubbly air-water flows
No full textUpward inclined gas-liquid flows are frequently encountered in the oil industry and data relating to the local gas volume fraction distribution and the local gas velocity distribution is important, for example, in pressure gradient prediction and in modeling oil well 'blowouts'. In this paper measurements are presented of the local gas volume fraction distribution and the local axial gas velocity distribution which were taken in bubbly air-water flows in an 80 mm diameter pipe which was inclined at angles of 0°, 15° and 30° to the vertical. Qualitative arguments are presented to explain the influence of the liquid superficial velocity on the local gas volume fraction distribution in inclined flow and also to explain the very high axial gas velocities observed towards the upper side of the inclined pipe
How "Chicagoan" are Gary Becker's Economic Models of Marriage?
Full text linkThis paper describes Gary Becker’s theoretical models of marriage. At the micro-level, these are all rational choice models. At the market level, Becker offers two major types of models: partial equilibrium models based on Price Theory as taught by Marshall and Friedman and optimal sorting models based on optimal assignment models. The paper examines some of the possible intellectual influences on Becker’s theory of marriage, compares Becker’s research on marriage with that of some scholars interested in intra-marriage distribution, and documents that Becker’s students at Chicago were more interested in Becker’s Friedmanian models of marriage than in his optimal assignment models.
