Planetary Collisions outside the Solar System: Time Domain Characterization of Extreme Debris Disks
Luminous debris disks of warm dust in the terrestrial planet zones around
solar-like stars are recently found to vary, indicative of ongoing large-scale
collisions of rocky objects. We use Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 {\mu}m time-series
observations in 2012 and 2013 (extended to 2014 in one case) to monitor 5 more
debris disks with unusually high fractional luminosities ("extreme debris
disk"), including P1121 in the open cluster M47 (80 Myr), HD 15407A in the AB
Dor moving group (80 Myr), HD 23514 in the Pleiades (120 Myr), HD 145263 in the
Upper Sco Association (10 Myr), and the field star BD+20 307 (>1 Gyr). Together
with the published results for ID8 in NGC 2547 (35 Myr), this makes the first
systematic time-domain investigation of planetary impacts outside the solar
system. Significant variations with timescales shorter than a year are detected
in five out of the six extreme debris disks we have monitored. However,
different systems show diverse sets of characteristics in the time domain,
including long-term decay or growth, disk temperature variations, and possible
periodicity.Comment: 50 pages, 14 figures, 9 tables; Accepted for publication in the

A low-cost, wireless near-infrared spectroscopy device detects the presence of lower extremity atherosclerosis as measured by computed tomographic angiography and characterizes walking impairment in peripheral artery disease
Background Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who experience intermittent claudication report a range of symptoms. Patients with symptoms other than classically described intermittent claudication may be at the highest risk for functional decline and mobility loss. Therefore, technologies allowing for characterization of PAD severity are desirable. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allows for measurements of muscle heme oxygen saturation (StO2) during exercise. We hypothesized lower extremities affected by PAD would exhibit distinct NIRS profiles as measured by a low-cost, wireless NIRS device and that NIRS during exercise predicts walking limitation. Methods We recruited 40 patients with PAD and 10 control participants. All patients with PAD completed a computed tomographic angiography, 6-minute walk test, and a standardized treadmill test. Controls completed a 540-second treadmill test for comparison. StO2 measurements were continuously taken from the gastrocnemius during exercise. Variables were analyzed by Fischer\u27s exact, Ï2, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and Kruskal-Wallis tests as appropriate. Correlations were assessed by partial Spearman correlation coefficients adjusted for occlusive disease pattern. Results Patients with PAD experienced claudication onset at a median of 108 seconds with a median peak walking time of 288 seconds. The baseline StO2 was similar between PAD and control. The StO2 of PAD and control participants dropped below baseline at a median of 1 and 104 seconds of exercise, respectively (P \u3c .0001). Patients with PAD reached minimum StO2 earlier than control participants (119 seconds vs 522 seconds, respectively; P \u3c .001) and experienced a greater change in StO2 at 1 minute of exercise (â73.2% vs 8.3%; P \u3c .0001) and a greater decrease at minimum exercise StO2 (â83.4% vs â16.1%; P \u3c .0001). For patients with PAD, peak walking time, and 6-minute walking distance correlated with percent change in StO2 at 1 minute of exercise (r = â0.76 and -0.67, respectively; P \u3c .001) and time to minimum StO2 (r = 0.79 and 0.70, respectively; P \u3c .0001). Conclusions In this initial evaluation of a novel, low-cost NIRS device, lower extremities affected by PAD exhibited characteristic changes in calf muscle StO2, which differentiated them from healthy controls and were strongly correlated with walking impairment. These findings confirm and expand on previous work demonstrating the potential clinical value of NIRS devices and the need for further research investigating the ability of low-cost NIRS technology to evaluate, diagnose, and monitor treatment response in PAD
Assumptions behind grammatical approaches to code-switching: when the blueprint is a red herring
Many of the so-called âgrammarsâ of code-switching are based on various underlying assumptions, e.g. that informal speech can be adequately or appropriately described in terms of ââgrammarââ; that deep, rather than surface, structures are involved in code-switching; that one âlanguageâ is the âbaseâ or âmatrixâ; and that constraints derived from existing data are universal and predictive. We question these assumptions on several grounds. First, âgrammarâ is arguably distinct from the processes driving speech production. Second, the role of grammar is mediated by the variable, poly-idiolectal repertoires of bilingual speakers. Third, in many instances of CS the notion of a âbaseâ system is either irrelevant, or fails to explain the facts. Fourth, sociolinguistic factors frequently override âgrammaticalâ factors, as evidence from the same language pairs in different settings has shown. No principles proposed to date account for all the facts, and it seems unlikely that âgrammarâ, as conventionally conceived, can provide definitive answers. We conclude that rather than seeking universal, predictive grammatical rules, research on CS should focus on the variability of bilingual grammars
A longitudinal investigation of repressive coping and ageing
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Aging & Mental Health on October 2016, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13607863.2015.1060941.Two studies investigated the possibility that repressive coping is more prevalent in older adults and that this represents a developmental progression rather than a cohort effect. Study 1 examined repressive coping and mental health cross-sectionally in young and old adults. Study 2 examined whether there was a developmental progression of repressive coping prevalence rates in a longitudinal sample of older adults.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio
