Abstract
Among the most prevailing assumptions in science and society about the human reading process is that sound and sound-based phonology are critical to young readers. The child's sound-to-letter decoding is viewed as universal and vital to deriving meaning from print. We offer a different view. The crucial link for early reading success is not between segmental sounds and print. Instead the human brain's capacity to segment, categorize, and discern linguistic patterning makes possible the capacity to segment all languages. This biological process includes the segmentation of languages on the hands in signed languages. Exposure to natural sign language in early life equally affords the child's discovery of silent segmental units in visual sign phonology (VSP) that can also facilitate segmental decoding of print. We consider powerful biological evidence about the brain, how it builds sound and sign phonology, and why sound and sign phonology are equally important in language learning and reading. We offer a testable theoretical account, reading model, and predictions about how VSP can facilitate segmentation and mapping between print and meaning. We explain how VSP can be a powerful facilitator of all children's reading success (deaf and hearing)-an account with profound transformative impact on learning to read in deaf children with different language backgrounds. The existence of VSP has important implications for understanding core properties of all human language and reading, challenges assumptions about language and reading as being tied to sound, and provides novel insight into a remarkable biological equivalence in signed and spoken languages.

Abstract
Previous research has shown that lay believers in psychic abilities are more prone to intuitive thinking, less inclined to rational thinking, and have an external locus of control, compared to non-believers. Psychic practitioners, however, may have different characteristics. Psychic practitioners ( n = 31; M age = 42.7 yr., SD = 13.1), lay believers ( n = 33; M age = 33.0 yr., SD = 10.3), and non-believers ( n = 31; M age = 34.4 yr., SD = 15.4) completed questionnaires measuring thinking styles, locus of control, and psychic belief. Comparisons of lay believers with non-believers confirmed previous observations: believers had a higher propensity for intuitive thinking, lower propensity for rational thinking, and more external locus of control. In contrast, practitioners were equivalent to non-believers in rational thinking and had the highest internal locus of control. This highlights the importance of considering level of involvement with psychic practice in understanding the thinking styles of believers. Results suggested that practitioners may have rationalized their beliefs and constructed a coherent model of psychic phenomena that satisfies a propensity for rational thinking within a community of belief.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Fatigue is one of the most common side effects of treatment for breast cancer (BC). This study used a daily diary approach to investigate the course of fatigue in BC patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. We examined clinical (BSA, menopausal status, stage, hemoglobin levels) and self-reported biopsychosocial factors (anxiety, depression, pain, physical and social functioning) as predictors of fatigue after chemotherapy infusion.
Methods: We enrolled 28 stage I (39%), II (50%), and III (11%) BC patients (mean age = 48.9 years, SD = 9.7) receiving standard adjuvant chemotherapy. Fatigue was assessed over 14 consecutive days (day −2 to +11) using a modified version of the NIH Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) fatigue short-form. Putative predictors of fatigue were assessed in the week prior to infusion. Anxiety and depression were measured with computerized adaptive testing. Pain, physical functioning, and social functioning were assessed using PROMIS global health items. Clinical variables were abstracted from patients' medical records. Analyses used individual growth curve modeling to examine overall levels of post-infusion fatigue and rates of change (amplitude) in daily fatigue over a 14-day period prior to the next infusion.
Results: Daily fatigue varied considerably over the 14 day study period, following a sinusoidal pattern. Fatigue T-scores increased from near-normal values (mean = 53) by about 1 SD (p < .001) during the first 3 days post-infusion (mean = 62), peaked on days 3–6, and decreased to near-normal (mean = 53) by day 11. Higher baseline anxiety, depression, pain and problems with physical functioning independently predicted higher overall fatigue levels during the post-infusion period (p < .001). In addition, baseline pain and physical functioning predicted distinct patterns of change in fatigue scores (p < .05). Fatigue showed a steep rise and fall in patients with less pain and better physical functioning at baseline, rapidly returning to pre-infusion levels. Fatigue was more constant in patients with greater pain and worse physical functioning at baseline. These patients reported higher fatigue scores prior to infusion but experienced fewer dynamic changes in response to chemotherapy. Medical variables and social functioning were not associated with baseline fatigue levels or changes in fatigue.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that BC patients with greater anxiety, depression, pain or poor physical functioning at baseline are at risk for prolonged and severe fatigue during treatment with chemotherapy. Patients with low pain and high physical functioning experience sharper changes in fatigue after infusion with quick return to baseline. The NIH PROMIS questionnaire provides a powerful quantitative method to identify predictors of chemotherapy-related fatigue. Identification of these predictors is critical for effective management of patient expectations and the development of targeted interventions to improve tolerance and functioning during adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Abstract
Two experiments are reported using a 1986 version of the dot-probe paradigm of MacLeod, Mathews, and Tata, in which the masked subliminal faces of famous persons were differentially associated with attention depending on participants' attitudes toward the famous person. There was attentional avoidance of the faces of persons invoking high disgust (Exp. 1, n = 20) or dislike (Exp. 2) but attentional orientation toward the faces of persons invoking low disgust or liking. In Exp. 2 ( n = 28), this effect was apparent for the faces but not the names of famous persons, despite evidence that the famous names were recognised without awareness. The aversion of attention from faces, but not the names of famous persons who are regarded in a negative light but who are not particularly threatening, may suggest an automatic tendency to avoid making eye contact with an undesirable person thereby avoiding unwanted social interaction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The widespread use of alcohol and other drugs poses particular problems during hospitalisation. Although nurses have been identified as an appropriate group to screen patients and provide acute and ongoing management to people with drug and alcohol-related problems, rates of screening are low. The aims of this study were to identify current practices for screening by nurses working in medical and surgical wards, determine their knowledge relating to problems associated with substance use and identify their self-reported skills in managing patients with drug- and alcohol-related problems. DESIGN AND METHODS A chart audit of medical records was completed and a survey was distributed to nurses working in the study wards. RESULTS Screening for alcohol and drug use was documented on only 22/79 medical records, and detailed information about quantity and duration of use was recorded in only nine. Overall, the nurses reported that they had little knowledge about substance use problems, and felt that they lacked skills to care adequately for these patients. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest a need for a comprehensive training and education to ensure that nurses are familiar with policies and protocols for management of patients and to assist nurses to provide evidence-based care and make appropriate referrals to specialist services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in medical genetics are increasingly being incorporated into clinical management outside specialist genetic services. This study was therefore undertaken to develop learning outcomes in genetics for general practice specialty training, using methods to ensure the knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to genetics in primary care were identified. AIM To identify key knowledge, skills, and attitudes in genetics and to synthesise these into learning outcomes to assist training in genetics for primary care. DESIGN OF STUDY Delphi survey and review by expert group. SETTING Primary care practices and Regional Genetics Centre in the West Midlands region of the UK. METHOD A modified Delphi survey involved GP trainers, programme directors, and geneticists (n = 60). The results, along with results from a survey of GP registrars, were reviewed by an expert group, which included GPs, geneticists, and educationalists. RESULTS Core genetics topics for GPs were identified, prioritised, and developed into competency statements in the style of the curriculum structure of the Royal College of General Practitioners. CONCLUSION The development of the GP curriculum statement Genetics in Primary Care was based on a study of educational needs, incorporating the views of practitioners (GP trainers, programme directors, and registrars) and specialists (clinical geneticists). This inclusive approach has enabled the identification of learning outcomes which directly reflect clinical practice.

Abstract
We study the flavor-changing-neutral-current process c-->u micro(+) micro(-) using 1.3 fb(-1) of pp[over ] collisions at square root s = 1.96 TeV recorded by the D0 detector operating at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We see clear indications of the charged-current mediated D(s)(+) and D(+)-->phipi(+) --> micro(+)micro(-)pi(+) final states with significance greater than 4 standard deviations above background for the D(+) state. We search for the continuum neutral-current decay of D(+)-->pi(+) micro(+) micro(-) in the dimuon invariant mass spectrum away from the phi resonance. We see no evidence of signal above background and set a limit of B(D(+) --> pi(+) micro(+) micro(-))<3.9 x 10(-6) at the 90% C.L. This limit places the most stringent constraint on new phenomena in the c--> u micro(+) micro(-) transition.

Abstract
Growth, morbidity, and slaughter data from 2,036 calves in 2 South African feedlots were used to estimate the effect of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and of lung lesion type and extent on growth during the early (processing to d 35) and late (d 35 to slaughter) finishing periods. Calves were weighed at processing (d 5 after arrival), on d 35, and at slaughter after a mean of 137 d on feed. All calves were monitored twice daily and were treated for BRD if rectal temperature was > 40 degrees C or if other specific signs of BRD were present. After slaughter, the occurrence and extent of parenchymal bronchopneumonic lesions and pleural adhesions were recorded. Subclinical BRD (never treated but with lung lesions at slaughter) occurred in 29.7% and clinical BRD in 22.6% of calves. Lung lesions were present in 43% of calves at slaughter; 8.6% had parenchymal lesions and 38.8% had pleural adhesions. Using a combined case definition (treated for BRD and/or lung lesions present at slaughter), the incidence of BRD was 52.5%. During the early finishing period, clinical BRD reduced ADG by 216 g (P < 0.001), subclinical BRD reduced ADG by 91 g (P < 0.001), and the combined effect of BRD was a 143 g reduction in ADG (P < 0.001). After d 35, animals treated for BRD tended to grow faster than those with subclinical BRD (P = 0.11), indicating that treatment was generally successful in reducing economic losses. The extent of bronchopneumonic lesions at slaughter was not associated with reduced growth during the early finishing period (P = 0.27), but extensive lesions reduced ADG by 88 g during the late period (P = 0.02). In contrast, the extent of pleural adhesions was not associated with reduced growth rate during the late finishing period (P = 0.37) but was strongly associated with reduced ADG before d 35; there was a 101 g reduction (P < 0.001) and a 220 g reduction (P = 0.01) for adhesions involving < 50% and > 50% of the pleural surfaces, respectively. Thus, although the presence of bronchopneumonic lesions and pleural adhesions at slaughter were both associated with reductions in overall ADG, they were indicative of production losses having occurred at different times during the finishing period. The overall effect of BRD was a 24 g reduction in ADG (P = 0.02) and a 5.1 d increase in days on feed (P < 0.001). The hidden cost of reduced growth rate due to BRD amounted to $3.41 per calf with clinical or subclinical BRD, or $1.79 per animal entering the feedlot.

Abstract
We search for the production of single top quarks via flavor-changing-neutral-current couplings of a gluon to the top quark and a charm (c) or up (u) quark. We analyze 230 pb{-1} of lepton+jets data from pp[over] collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We observe no significant deviation from standard model predictions, and hence set upper limits on the anomalous coupling parameters kappa{g}{c}/Lambda and kappa{g}{u}/Lambda, where kappa{g} define the strength of tcg and tug couplings, and Lambda defines the scale of new physics. The limits at 95% C.L. are kappa{g}{c}/Lambda<0.15 TeV-1 and kappa{g}{u}/Lambda<0.037 TeV-1.
