Tax reform -- Evaluation ,Banking, finance and accounting industries ,Business ,Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 - Abstract
The negative impact of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 (RRA '93) will be mostly felt by high-income individuals. Provisions that are certain to affect this income bracket include higher income tax rates, removal of personal exemptions, limitation on itemized deductions, phaseout of dollar limit on wages and self-employment income for Medicare tax, limitation on qualified plan compensation, capital gains anti-conversion rule, modified moving expense deduction, new charitable contribution rules and expanded gasoline tax. Although the major repercussions of these provisions will be received by high-income earners, some provisions, such as the higher tax for Social Security benefits, will likewise be felt by other taxpayers. Moreover, some RRA '93 rules provide favorable position for taxpayers. These include installment payments of additional tax, simplified tax payments, disaster relief, repeal of luxury taxes and expanded earned income credit.

0306 Physical Chemistry (incl. Structural) - Abstract
Neutron reflectometry has been used to study the adsorption of the anionic surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate cesium salt on the anionic surface of mica. Evidence of significant adsorption is reported. The adsorption is reversible and changes little with pH. This unexpected adsorption behavior of an anionic molecule on an anionic surface is discussed in terms of recent models for surfactant adsorption such as cation bridging, where adsorption has been reported with the divalent ion calcium but not previously observed with monovalent ions.

Inclement weather and home environment can act as barriers to physical activity. However, it is unclear if they reduce the activity of persons participating in activity-promoting programs.Data from a 6-month workplace financial incentives program were used to establish the association between meteorologic (temperature, rain, snow, and wind) and geographic factors (urban/nonurban home location and distance between home and work) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Multivariable models were built to estimate mean weekly minutes of MVPA adjusting for demographic factors, clinical factors, and impulsivity.The 292 participants had a mean age of 38 (SD = 11) years. Eighty-three percent were female and 62% were white. Twenty-nine percent lived within 3 miles of work, and 35% lived in urban areas. Participants who lived more than 3 miles from work averaged 75 [95% confidence interval (CI), 65-84] minutes of weekly MVPA compared with 105 (95% CI, 88-122) minutes for those who lived within 3 miles of work. Urban participants averaged 70 (95% CI, 57-83) minutes of MVPA compared with 91 (95% CI, 80-102) minutes for nonurban participants. Colder temperatures were associated with decreased MVPA, and impulsivity modified the effect.Colder temperatures, greater distance from work, and an urban residence are associated with fewer minutes of MVPA.

Spacecraft Propulsion And Power - Abstract
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used in recent applications to affect subcomponent designs in liquid propulsion rocket engines. This paper elucidates three such applications for turbine stage, pump stage, and combustor chamber geometries. Details of these applications include the development of a high turning airfoil for a gas generator (GG) powered, liquid oxygen (LOX) turbopump, single-stage turbine using CFD as an integral part of the design process. CFD application to pump stage design has emphasized analysis of inducers, impellers, and diffuser/volute sections. Improvements in pump stage impeller discharge flow uniformity have been seen through CFD optimization on coarse grid models. In the area of combustor design, recent CFD analysis of a film cooled ablating combustion chamber has been used to quantify the interaction between film cooling rate, chamber wall contraction angle, and geometry and their effects of these quantities on local wall temperature. The results are currently guiding combustion chamber design and coolant flow rate for an upcoming subcomponent test. Critical aspects of successful integration of CFD into the design cycle includes a close-coupling of CFD and design organizations, quick turnaround of parametric analyses once a baseline CFD benchmark has been established, and the use of CFD methodology and approaches that address pertinent design issues. In this latter area, some problem details can be simplified while retaining key physical aspects to maintain analytical integrity.

Spacecraft Propulsion And Power - Abstract
The aerodynamic design of advanced fuel and oxidizer pump drive turbine systems being developed for application in the main propulsion system of the National Launch System are discussed. The detail design process is presented along with the final baseline fuel and oxidizer turbine configurations. Computed airfoil surface static pressure distributions and flow characteristics are shown. Both turbine configurations employ unconventional high turning blading (approximately 160 deg) and are expected to provide significant cost and performance benefits in comparison with traditional configurations.

Aircraft Propulsion And Power - Abstract
A preliminary assessment is made of two NASA-developed unsteady turbine stage computer codes. The methodology and previous partial validation of the codes are briefly outlined. Application of these codes to a Space Shuttle main engine turbine for two sets of operating conditions is then described. Steady and unsteady, two and three-dimensional results are presented, compared, and discussed. These results include time-mean and instantaneous airfoil pressure distributions and pressure fluctuations, streamlines on the airfoil surfaces and endwalls, and relative total pressure contours at different axial locations in the rotor passage. Although not available at the time of this writing, experimental data for one of the operating conditions simulated is forthcoming and will be used to assess the accuracy of the unsteady, as well as, the steady predictions presented. Issues related to code usage and resource requirements of the two codes are also discussed.

POLYENES , *MATHEMATICAL optimization , *MOLECULAR dynamics , *ORGANIC compounds , *BIOCONJUGATES , *OLIGOMERS - Abstract
In this work we study conjugation in all-trans polyene chains H[Single_Bond](HC==CH)n[Single_Bond]H with a view to establishing the length scale for the interaction between conjugated double bonds. As a polyene oligomer is made longer, bond length alternation between formal carbon-carbon single and double bonds diminishes toward the middle of the chain, eventually reaching a constant value characteristic of an “infinite” chain. However those bonds near the end of the chain continue to be influenced by the end, even in the long-chain limit. We have determined optimized geometries for polyene oligomers with up to n=11 repeat units at the MP2/cc-pVTZ level. At this length the central-most bonds are almost converged to the long chain limit, for which we estimate RC==C=1.3652 Å and RC[Single_Bond]C=1.4238 Å. In contrast, the endmost double bond has a length of 1.3442 Å and the endmost single bond has a length of 1.4425 Å. We find that a given bond is significantly influenced by conjugation paths through up to six neighboring conjugated double bonds. End effects can also be monitored by examining the energy increment per added monomer as the oligomer length is increased. This analysis also indicates that significant conjugation effects extend out through approximately six neighboring double bonds. From the energy per monomer of the longest chains we extract a value of about 8 kcal/mol for the extra stabilization energy per monomer due to conjugation in long chains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
© The Author(s) 2017. Cinema is an art form widely recognised as an agent to change the social condition and alter traditional norms. Movies can be used to educate and transform society's collective conscience. Indigenous Australian artists utilise the power of artistic expression as a tool to initiate change in the attitudes and perceptions of the broader Australian society. Australia's story has predominately been told from the coloniser's viewpoint. This narrative is being rewritten through Indigenous artists utilising the power of cinema to create compelling stories with Indigenous control. This medium has come into prominence for Indigenous Australians to express our culture, ontology and politics. Movies such as Samson and Delilah, Bran Nue Dae, The Sapphires and Rabbit-Proof Fence for example, have highlighted the injustices of past policies, adding new dimensions to the Australian narrative. These three films are just a few of the Indigenous Australian produced films being used in the Australian National Curriculum. Through this medium, Australian Indigenous voices are rewriting the Australian narrative from the Indigenous perspective, deconstructing the predominant stereotypical perceptions of Indigenous culture and reframing the Australian story. Films are essential educational tools to cross the cultural space that often separates Indigenous learners from their non-Indigenous counterparts.

CARPOSINA GAGNEORUMsP. nOV., MEDEIROS & OBOYSKI (FIGS 2 C, 3C, 4C) Holotype: United States: Hawaiian Islands: Molokai: Kamakou Preserve, Pepeopae Trail. 19.v.2004. ♂ (slide LB01♂). D Rubinoff et al. UHIM. Paratype: United States: Hawaiian Islands: Maui: Haleakala National Park, bog E of Kipahulu Val., 1859 m. 22���25.vi.1981. 1♀ 9 (slide LB60♀). WC Gagn��. BPBM. Diagnosis: No other Hawaiian Carposina has a similar wing pattern: a dark brown medial band, abutted by a very light brown band just distal to it (Fig. 2 C). Description ( N = 2) (Fig. 2 C): Wing expanse 17��� 29 mm. Head grey-brown. Haustellum unscaled. Labial palpus approximately width of eye in male, nearly 3�� width of eye in female, second segment brown, third segment dark brown. Antennae of male with long, fine cilia underneath. Thorax and tegula grey-brown to olive (abdomens of both specimens cleared and mounted on slides). Foreleg black. Midleg dark brown, spurs present. Hindleg brown, spurs present. Forewing ground colour grey-brown; a curving very dark brown medial band present, abutted by a very light brown band just distal to it, these bands consisting largely of raised scales; additional clusters of raised scales scattered proximally to the medial bands, these clusters more numerous and pronounced in the female specimen; fringe brown. Hindwing and fringe uniformly light pale brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 3 C): Valvae long, narrow, tapering to an acute hooked apex. Uncus prominent, flanked by short dense setae. Arms of gnathos projecting upward sharply, tipped with outwardly projecting setae. Annelar lobes short, straight, approximately 0.5�� length of valva. Saccus V-shaped. Process of sacculus broad, curving outward, apex two-pronged. Aedeagus (in situ, Fig. 3 C) long, broad, widened distally, cornuti present along entire posterior section. Female genitalia (Fig. 3 C): Papillae anales short. Apophyses thin and straight; posterior apophyses relatively long, 2�� total length of anterior apophyses. Ductus bursae long, almost 2�� length of posterior apopheses. Corpus bursae long, nearly length of ductus bursae; two large V-shaped signa present. Distribution: This species has been collected on the islands of Molokai and Maui, Hawaiian Islands. Remarks: The male genitalia of this species is similar to that of C. graminicolor (Walsingham) and C. crinifera (Walsingham), also from the Hawaiian islands, but the wing pattern is extremely divergent, unlike any other Hawaiian Carposina. This species has not been collected since 2004, and attempts to amplify DNA were unsuccessful. New material is needed to place it within the phylogeny of Carposina. Larval biology and host plant unknown. Etymology: Carposina gagneorum is named in honor of Betsy Gagn��, and her late husband Wayne Gagn��. Wayne collected the first specimen of this species, and was greatly admired and respected for his work in Hawaiian entomology and conservation. Likewise, Betsy, through her work at the State of Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife for many years, is an ally to the Hawaiian insect fauna, and a dear friend of MJM and PTO., Published as part of Matthew J.

CARPOSINA NEW SPECIES 11 (FIGS 2 E, 3E) Material examined: United States: Hawaiian Islands: Hawaii: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Desolation Trail, 929 m, N19.36880 W155.3674. ♂ (slide LB36♂). D Rubinoff & A Kawahara. UHIM. Remarks: This specimen has unique genitalia and a wing pattern unlike the other species near it in Figure 1, but the specimen is somewhat rubbed. Without additional material, we do not feel a full description is warranted at this time. The designation as new species 11 follows the sequence initiated by Zimmerman (1978). DISCUSSION Two new species, C. longignathosa sp. nov. and C. brevinotata sp. nov., from the Society Islands, French Polynesia, appear more closely related to the Asian C. sasakii Matsumura than the Hawaiian species (Fig. 1). Clarke (1971) named C. paracrinifera, a species from Rapa, for its superficial similarity to C. crinifera (Walsingham) from Hawaii. However, given the genetic distance and weak node support between the North and South Pacific species in this study, it is likely that Hawaiian Carposina derived from a northern temperate ancestor (Zimmerman, 1978), while the French Polynesia species appear to represent an independent incursion of the genus into the Pacific from the Austral��� Asian region. However, greater outgroup sampling is necessary to test this hypothesis. A similar pattern of multiple colonizations in the Pacific was also found in Tetragnatha spiders (Gillespie, 2002), Misumenops spiders (Garb, 2006), Ptycta bark lice (Bess et al., 2014) and Cydia moths (Oboyski, 2011). Unfortunately, there are very few well-resolved phylogenies for Polynesian arthropods that broadly sample Pacific Islands as well as potential mainland source populations to fully evaluate how widespread this pattern is. Three new species, Carposina urbanae sp. nov., C. gagneorum sp. nov. and C. new species 11, appear nested well within the Hawaiian clade, indicating they are part of the Hawaiian radiation and not recent immigrants. Carposina urbanae sp. nov. (host unknown) from Kauai appears weakly connected to an olivaceonitens clade that is distributed across the high islands feeding on Clermontia (Campanulaceae) and Pouteria (Sapotaceae). Although the olivaceonitens clade is well supported, the tentative placement of this species is likely to change with further sampling. Carposina gagneorum sp. nov. is known from only single male and single female specimens, with no sequence data. However, the wing pattern is so unique for Hawaiian Carposina (Fig. 2 C) that we are confident they represent a single species separate from C. crinifera and C. graminicolor with which it shares similar male genital morphology. C. new species 11 (host unknown) from Hawaii is in a moderately supported clade with C. graminis from Kauai which feeds on Metrosideros (Myrtaceae). The genetic and geographical distance between these specimens suggest other lineages within this clade exist on the intervening islands. The distribution and host-plant associations for Hawaiian Carposina are confusing at best (Table 1). Species descriptions (Meyrick, 1883, 1913; Walsingham, 1907) were based on short series (in some cases single specimens) of adult moths, largely collected by R. C. L. Perkins during the Fauna Hawaiiensis project (Perkins, 1913). Confusion was further compounded by the high degree of wing pattern polymorphisms in several Hawaiian microlepidoptera groups. And although male genital characters are particularly useful for Carposina, their widespread use in Lepidoptera taxonomy began after Walsingham and Meyrick���s work on Pacific Islands taxa. Larval host-plant records for several species were subsequently gained through extensive rearing efforts by O. H. Swezey (summarized in Swezey, 1954). However, Zimmerman (1978) questioned many of Swezey���s identifications and recognized Carposina new species 1 to 10 to account for discordant host and island records (Table 1). In particular, Zimmerman (1978) questioned records for C. olivaceonitens, which included plants in the distantly related families Campanulaceae and Sapotaceae. Our phylogeny shows two wellsupported clades of C. olivaceonitens that could represent cryptic species, or host races in the process of diverging. Moreover, polymorphism in this clade (compare Fig. 2 F and G) makes species assignment difficult based on superficial morphology. This uncertainty can only be resolved by comparing the morphology and molecules of specimens reared from each host across the archipelago. indicates host or island records from O. H. Swezey (1954) needing confirmation, according to Zimmerman (1978). All species described in the genus Heterocrossa by Walsingham, 1907, except for C. achroana, 1883; C. glauca, C. lacerate, C. saurates and C. benigna Meyrick, 1913; and C. gagneorum sp. nov. and C. urbanae sp. nov. Medeiros & Oboyski. New species 1���10 are those noted by Zimmerman). New species 11 (this paper). Presently, no new host associations are proposed, but some island records are confirmed or noted as new (Table 1). Carposina atronotata is reported from Maui; C. ferruginea (Walsingham), known only from Molokai, is reported from Maui; C. gemmata, known from Hawaii (and possibly Oahu), is reported from Kauai; and C. olivaceonitens, that Zimmerman (1978) restricted to Kauai, is confirmed on Maui and Hawaii. Our analyses support the monophyly of Hawaiian Carposina (Fig. 1). Using typical and accelerated mutation rates for Lepidoptera (Brower, 1994; Haines et al., 2014), our results predict a period of 2.23���8.51 Myr (95% HPD 1.59���11.75 Myr) since the arrival of Carposina in Hawaii. The current high islands were formed 0.5 Mya (Hawaii) to 5 Mya (Kauai) (Carson & Clague, 1995; Price & Clague, 2002), which places Carposina colonization sometime during the formation of Nihoa, Niihau, Kauai, Oahu or the Maui Nui complex. However, these preliminary findings are likely to change with further taxon sampling, additional molecular data and more refined estimates of mutation rates. Although the basal species in our limited sampling of the Hawaiian clade, C. semitogata, was collected from Kauai, the overall topology does not lend obvious support to a progression rule pattern of diversification (Funk & Wagner, 1995). Instead, subclades appear to include representatives feeding on the same host on both old and young islands. Similar patterns of diversification were shown for Hawaiian Cydia H��bner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), whereby jumps to new host genera in disparate subfamilies of Fabaceae were accompanied by filling those host niches across the archipelago (Oboyski, 2011), and for Nesophrosyne Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with host jumps between plant families (Bennett & O���Grady, 2012, 2013). In this scenario, some species are likely to become paraphyletic as a result of differential dispersal between land masses ��� more isolated populations will develop evolutionary trajectories independent of their containing clade. This appears to be the case for C. olivaceonitens in the current study, which is rendered paraphyletic by C. gemmata and LB34 (a damaged specimen that we currently are not able to identify with certainty) (Fig. 1), both of which have distinctly different genital morphology from C. olivaceonitens. The Hawaiian Carposina clade is separated from outgroup taxa by a relatively long branch, while several interior branches have only modest support (Fig. 1). Several factors may contribute to this, including limited outgroup sampling, limited ingroup sampling, choice of genetic markers, a long period of isolation for the Hawaiian clade, extinction and/or accelerated evolutionary rates. As a result, long branches make Hawaiian Carposina difficult to place in the world fauna. Although extinction is difficult to account for in phylogenetic reconstruction (e.g. Morlon, Parsons & Plotkin, 2011), these other factors can be addressed directly with continued investigation. Carposina present an opportunity to test competing hypotheses about Hawaiian phylogeography and phyloecology. While several species are known for each island, host associations remain obscured for most (Table 1). Moreover, host/habitat loss, extinctions, climate change, and competition and predation from alien species are likely to hinder collection of essential ecological and evolutionary data (Medeiros et al., 2013). Therefore, identifying larval hosts, particularly from critically endangered habitats, and constructing a wellresolved phylogeny for the entire clade is the highest priority for this group., Published as part of Matthew J.

Diagnosis: Although this species has a wing pattern similar to that of C. apousia Clarke, from Rapa, the male genitalia of C. longignathosa are distinctive: the gnathos arms are very long, noticeably longer than that of any other known Carposina (Fig. 3 B). Description ( N = 15) (Fig. 2 B): Wing expanse 11��� 14 mm. Head light cream colour. Haustellum unscaled. Labial palpus longer than width of eye in male, nearly 2�� width of eye in female, dark brown near base of second segment, transitioning to cream colour back to brown by apex of third segment. Antennae of male with long, fine cilia underneath. Thorax, tegula and abdomen light brown to brown. Foreleg nearly black. Midleg dark brown with tufts of lighter scales near joints, spurs present. Hindleg entirely very light brown, spurs present. Forewing ground colour very light brown; orange to dark brown to black basal band, and somewhat broken ante- and postmedial bands present; these ante- and postmedial bands associated with clusters of raised scales; several brown spots present along costal and terminal margins; fringe minimal. Hindwing and fringe uniformly light pale brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 3 B): Valvae large, broad, tapering to rounded apex. Uncus apparently absent. Process of sacculus long, projecting sharply caudal. Saccus broadly U-shaped with small central lobe. Gnathos arms thick, broad, projecting cephalad. Aedeagus long, slender, widened distally, cornuti present just below apex.

Remarks: The male genitalia of this species is similar to that of C. ferruginea (Walsingham) and Zimmerman���s ���new species 2��� (Zimmerman, 1978, p. 830), also from the Hawaiian Islands, but the wing pattern is extremely divergent, unlike any other Hawaiian Carposina. Larval biology and host plant unknown. Etymology: Carposina urbanae is named in honour of the Urban School of San Francisco, where MJM has been a science teacher for 5 years, and many of his Urban Advanced Studies Genetics students performed PCRs used in this study. Urban has support- ed MJM���s research programme in multiple ways. Lastly, Urban has shown a commitment to entomology, with the formation of a new class, Entomology: Bugs & Biodiversity, which provides an education in general entomology to high school students., Published as part of Matthew J.

Historically, persons scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have reported severe pain with low demand activities such as walking, but recent data suggests that TKA recipients may have less preoperative pain. Little is known about people who elect TKA with low levels of preoperative pain. To better understand current TKA utilization, we evaluated the association between preoperative pain and difficulty performing high demand activities, such as kneeling and squatting, among TKA recipients. We used baseline data from a randomized control trial designed to improve physical activity following TKA. Prior to TKA, participants were categorized according to Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain scores: Low (0–25), Medium (26–40), and High (41–100). Within each group, limitations in both low demand and high demand activities were assessed. The sample consisted of 202 persons with a mean age of 65 (SD 8) years; 21 %, 34 %, and 45 % were categorized in the Low, Medium, and High Pain groups, respectively. Of the Low Pain group, 60 % reported at least one of the following functional limitations: limited flexion, limp, limited walking distance, and limitations in work or housework. While only 12 % of the Low Pain group reported at least moderate pain with walking on a flat surface, nearly all endorsed at least moderate difficulty with squatting and kneeling. A substantial number of persons scheduled for TKA report Low WOMAC Pain (≤25) prior to surgery. Persons with Low WOMAC Pain scheduled for TKA frequently report substantial difficulty with high demand activities such as kneeling and squatting. Studies of TKA appropriateness and effectiveness for patients with low WOMAC Pain should include measures of these activities. Identifier NCT01970631 ; Registered 23 October 2013.

- Abstract
The astrocytic GLT-1 (or EAAT2) is the major glutamate transporter for clearing synaptic glutamate. While the diffusion dynamics of neurotransmitter receptors at the neuronal surface are well understood, far less is known regarding the surface trafficking of transporters in subcellular domains of the astrocyte membrane. Here, we have used live-cell imaging to study the mechanisms regulating GLT-1 surface diffusion in astrocytes in dissociated and brain slice cultures. Using GFP-time lapse imaging, we show that GLT-1 forms stable clusters that are dispersed rapidly and reversibly upon glutamate treatment in a transporter activity-dependent manner. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching and single particle tracking using quantum dots revealed that clustered GLT-1 is more stable than diffuse GLT-1 and that glutamate increases GLT-1 surface diffusion in the astrocyte membrane. Interestingly, the two main GLT-1 isoforms expressed in the brain, GLT-1a and GLT-1b, are both found to be stabilized opposed to synapses under basal conditions, with GLT-1b more so. GLT-1 surface mobility is increased in proximity to activated synapses and alterations of neuronal activity can bidirectionally modulate the dynamics of both GLT-1 isoforms. Altogether, these data reveal that astrocytic GLT-1 surface mobility, via its transport activity, is modulated during neuronal firing, which may be a key process for shaping glutamate clearance and glutamatergic synaptic transmission.

Objective: Young adults, in general, are not aware of their risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Understanding risk and risk factors is critical to knee OA prevention. We tested the efficacy of a personalized risk calculator on accuracy of knee OA risk perception and willingness to change behaviors associated with knee OA risk factors. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial of 375 subjects recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk. Subjects were randomized to either a) use a personalized risk calculator based on demographic and risk factor information (intervention) or b) view general OA risk information (control). At baseline and after the intervention, subjects estimated their 10-year and lifetime risk of knee OA and responded to contemplation ladders measuring willingness to change diet, exercise, or weight-control behaviors. Results: Subjects in both arms had an estimated 3.6% 10-year and 25.3% lifetime chance of developing symptomatic knee OA. Both arms greatly overestimated knee OA risk at baseline, estimating a 10-year risk of 26.1% and a lifetime risk of 47.8%. After the intervention, risk calculator subjects' perceived 10-year risk decreased by 12.9 percentage points to 12.5% and perceived lifetime risk decreased by 19.5 percentage points to 28.1%. Control subjects' perceived risks remained unchanged. Risk calculator subjects were more likely to move to an action stage on the exercise contemplation ladder (RR = 2.1). There was no difference between the groups for diet or weight-control ladders. Conclusions: The risk calculator is a useful intervention for knee OA education and may motivate some exercise-related behavioral change. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
