    Proximity and Gaze Influences Facial Temperature: A Thermal Infrared Imaging Study.

    No full text
    Direct gaze and interpersonal proximity are known to lead to changes in psycho-physiology, behaviour and brain function. We know little, however, about subtler facial reactions such as rise and fall in temperature, which may be sensitive to contextual effects and functional in social interactions. Using thermal infrared imaging cameras 18 female adult participants were filmed at two interpersonal distances (intimate and social) and two gaze conditions (averted and direct). The order of variation in distance was counterbalanced: half the participants experienced a female experimenter’s gaze at the social distance first before the intimate distance (a socially ‘normal’ order) and half experienced the intimate distance first and then the social distance (an odd social order). At both distances averted gaze always preceded direct gaze. We found strong correlations in thermal changes between six areas of the face (forehead, chin, cheeks, nose, maxilliary and periorbital regions) for all experimental conditions and developed a composite measure of thermal shifts for all analyses. Interpersonal proximity led to a thermal rise, but only in the ‘normal’ social order. Direct gaze, compared to averted gaze, led to a thermal increase at both distances with a stronger effect at intimate distance, in both orders of distance variation. Participants reported direct gaze as more intrusive than averted gaze, especially at the intimate distance. These results demonstrate the powerful effects of another person’s gaze on psycho-physiological responses, even at a distance and independent of context

    Na,K-ATPase isozymes in colorectal cancer and liver metastases

    The goal of this study was to define Na,K-ATPase α and β subunit isoform expression and isozyme composition in colorectal cancer cells and liver metastases. The α1, α3 and β1 isoforms were the most highly expressed in tumor cells and metastases; in the plasma membrane of non-neoplastic cells and mainly in a cytoplasmic location in tumor cells. α1β1 and α3β1 isozymes found in tumor and metastatic cells exhibit the highest and lowest Na+ affinity respectively and the highest K+ affinity. Mesenchymal cell isozymes possess an intermediate Na+ affinity and a low K+ affinity. In cancer, these ions are likely to favor optimal conditions for the function of nuclear enzymes involved in mitosis, especially a high intra-nuclear K+ concentration. A major and striking finding of this study was that in liver, metastasized CRC cells express the α3β1 isozyme. Thus, the α3β1 isozyme could potentially serve as a novel exploratory biomarker of CRC metastatic cells in liver

    COMMENCEMENT WEEK. Last Thursday aieht ina-igurated the fwtivttie-* of Senior Week when .the amusing farce, "A Rank rGnt- sider," was produced. The farce was written bv Roger Sterrett, and was bright and filled with delight* " ful hits. - A large audience witnessed its presentation, and the author was highly complimented over its success.. On Saturday the Class I Jay ceremonies occupied the morning, when the Seniors gathered in the beloved quad and, with appropriate s|>eeches and other exerci•**-■-'. laid *ht* '02 plate. *■* Frank Himwim. prudent-of Uie class, made the opening address, which was eagerly listened to by . hundreds of students and visitors. He said: "In behalf of the Seniors I welcome you to this eleventh annual commence merit Whether faculty alumni,.students friends or synipB thi-eers,' yon are all invited to participate in tbe enjoyment of this Senior Week's program. Seniors are thought tu appreciate most highly their own festivities, but in this we ore greatly handt capped. It is not possible for us to ignore althogelher tbe fact tbat this week is the last of our college life—a iifc which has man- pleasant, as well as unpleasant, associations connected witb It. During these few days that are left wx must bid a lingering farewell to all tbe old familiar places about which so many pleasant memories have grown up. We must also say good-bye to professors and instructors and to our closest friends and associates. * Our impressions of Stanford University as we shall leave it bave been given np by these people, and it is witb regret that we shall leave them. But we have every confidence in the future of our alma mater and we are glad to know that the men to whom this future is intrusted are worthy of that confidence. " The address of Mr. Hinman was followed by the reading of tbe Class History by Miss M. E. McI>ougall, wbo gave a brief but correct resume of tbe events which the class of '02 had witnessed in the progress of the University, and spoke witb deep feeling of the love aud pride which fills the heart of every student at the thought that he or she is a part of this grand institution. The Class Will, which was composed by Roger J. Sterrett, was read by R. A. Hamilton, and was a very witty and clever document, and its keen personal allusions were received with shouts of applause. After the Will was read the crowd assembled in the' arcade ' in front of Memorial Church, where a block of cement had been removed for the reception of the \ plate. Herbert C. Joftes/jcla.1*** orator, delivered the address of presentation of the plate, and President Jordan responded, accepting It in the name of the Uuiversity, and spoke of what thc plates represented to bint—"each one representing 200, more or less, ol young men and women full of force that will make them in tbe future." "Tbe world is not large enough,'' said President Jordan, "for. Stanford men to be lost or the Stanford spirit to be bidden." He recalled a few memories of receptions tendered him by Stanford men and women whom he bad met by chance in foreign lands. Tbe plate was formally accepted and tbe exercises closed with the singing of the "Plate Soug, *'. written by Miss Hazel Hope Webster, '02. The Seuior reception in the evening at Endna Hall was very pleasant, but as dancing was prohl* bited it was uot the brilliant affair which had been antidpsfted. On Sunday morning tbe graduating class end a very large congregation of their friends gathered in Assembly Hall, to bear the Bac* calaureate sermoa by Rev.. Frederic W. Clampett, rector of Trinity Church, San Francis:o. Some fine anthems were rendered by the festival choir, conducted by Mr. Scott-Brooke, and Mrs. l,onise Wright WcClure of San Fiancisco gave "Song of Praise, " in a superb manner. Tbe Scripture reading from Corinthians was by ]>r. Jordan, after which Dr. Clampett spoke, taking as his subject, "Pillarsof Life." He spoke at length on the University and Its work, and compared the life of the student to the four pillnrs of an edifice. Thc pillars of life, hesaid, should represent sanctificatton, thoroughness, self-annihilation and reverence, which would make a man or woman the strong, wonderful beiugs God designed them to be.
