Self-anchoring and differentiation processes in the minimal group setting.
No full textIn-group favoritism in the minimal group setting was hypothesized to be a function of 2 processes: a
tendency to base in-group judgments on the self(self-anchoring) and a tendency to assume 1 group
to be the opposite of the other (differentiation). In the first 3 experiments, in which the order of
rating the self and target group was varied, categorized and uncategorized participants were given
trait information about 1 group and were asked to estimate the level of those traits in the other group.
In-group judges tended to base group ratings on the self, whereas out-group and uncategorized judges
inferred the 2 groups to be opposite of one another. Experiment 4 attempted to directly assess the
direction of inference between self and in-group by giving feedback about self or in-group on unfamiliar
dimensions and found that participants were more willing to generalize from self to in-group
than from in-group to self
Temperamento de crianças na abordagem de Rothbart: estudo de revisão sistemática
No full textO temperamento é definido pelas diferenças individuais na reatividade e autorregulação, tendo composição biológica e podendo ser influenciado pelo ambiente. O modelo psicobiológico de Mary Rothbart tem sido amplamente utilizado no estudo do temperamento. O objetivo desse estudo foi revisar sistematicamente a literatura indexada publicada nos anos de 2008 a 2011 que trata do temperamento de crianças no período do nascimento até a idade escolar, de acordo com a abordagem de Rothbart. As bases de dados utilizadas foram PubMed, PsycINFO, Scielo e Lilacs. Foram encontrados 25 artigos, os quais foram analisados por três pesquisadores quanto aos aspectos objetivo, amostra, instrumentos, resultados e conclusões. As amostras dos estudos foram predominantemente crianças norte-americanas (48%) e europeias (32%), avaliadas, em sua maioria, nos primeiros três anos de idade. A maioria dos estudos (92%) avaliou o temperamento da criança por meio de questionários de heterorrelato, sendo as mães as principais informantes. Os resultados mostraram, de um lado, a relação entre temperamento e indicadores biológicos da criança (oito estudos)m e de outro, a associação entre temperamento e características do contexto familiar (sete estudos). A relação entre temperamento e características do comportamento ou personalidade foi encontrada em quatro estudos. Os demais estudos mostraram associação entre temperamento e transtornos/síndromes, contexto familiar/escolar ou nível socioeconômico/imigração. Nos achados verificou-se que o temperamento nas fases iniciais de desenvolvimento da criança, de acordo com o modelo de Rothbart, mostrou associação com características da personalidade, problemas de comportamento e psicopatologias, podendo ser moderado por interações com o ambiente familiar

Structures of RNA polymerase II complexes with Bye1, a chromatin-binding PHF3/DIDO homologue.
Get PDFBypass of Ess1 (Bye1) is a nuclear protein with a domain resembling the central domain in the transcription elongation factor TFIIS. Here we show that Bye1 binds with its TFIIS-like domain (TLD) to RNA polymerase (Pol) II, and report crystal structures of the Bye1 TLD bound to Pol II and three different Pol II–nucleic acid complexes. Like TFIIS, Bye1 binds with its TLD to the Pol II jaw and funnel. In contrast to TFIIS, however, it neither alters the conformation nor the in vitro functions of Pol II. In vivo, Bye1 is recruited to chromatin via its TLD and occupies the 5′-region of active genes. A plant homeo domain (PHD) in Bye1 binds histone H3 tails with trimethylated lysine 4, and this interaction is enhanced by the presence of neighboring posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that mark active transcription and conversely is impaired by repressive PTMs. We identify putative human homologs of Bye1, the proteins PHD finger protein 3 and death-inducer obliterator, which are both implicated in cancer. These results establish Bye1 as the founding member of a unique family of chromatin transcription factors that link histones with active PTMs to transcribing Pol II

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
Get PDFFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
The confirmability and disconfirmability of trait concepts revisited: does content matter?
No full textM. Rothbart and B. Park (1986) demonstrated that, consistent with the common negativity bias, positive traits are difficult to confirm and easy to disconfirm, whereas the opposite is true for negative traits. This article extends their analysis by showing that trait (dis-)confirmability is moderated by trait content (warmth vs. competence). Study 1 identifies a trait sample representative of warmth and competence. Study 2 shows a strong negativity effect for warmth and a reduced (or absent) negativity effect for competence. Study 3 examines trait properties related to the behavioral range of the trait possessor and to the motivational goals of the perceiver as predictors of trait (dis-)confirmability. The theoretical and practical implications of the authors' findings are discussed, and avenues for future research are suggested
