Unique phospholipid metabolism in mouse heart in response to dietary docosahexaenoic or α-linolenic acids

Diet and fatty acid metabolism interact in yet unknown ways to modulate membrane fatty acid composition and certain cellular functions. For example, dietary precursors or metabolic products of n-3 fatty acid metabolism differ in their ability to modify specific membrane components. In the present study, the effect of dietary 22∶6n−3 or its metabolic precursor, 18∶3n−3, on the selective accumulation of 22∶6n−3 by heart was investigated. The mass and fatty acid compositions of individual phospholipids (PL) in heart and liver were quantified in mice fed either 22∶6n−3 (from crocodile oil) or 18∶3n−3 (from soybean oil) for 13 wk. This study was conducted to determine if the selective accumulation of 22∶6n−3 in heart was due to the incorporation of 22∶6n−3 into cardiolipin (CL), a PL most prevalent in heart and known to accumulate 22∶6n−3. Although heart was significantly enriched with 22∶6n−3 relative to liver, the accumulation of 22∶6n−3 by CL in heart could not quantitatively account for this difference. CL from heart did accumulate 22∶6n−3, but only in mice fed preformed 22∶6n−3. Diets rich in non-22∶6n−3 fatty acids result in a fatty acid composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in heart that is unusually enriched with 22∶6n−3. In this study, the mass of PC in heart was positively correlated with the enrichment of 22∶6n−3 into PC. The increased mass of PC was coincident with a decrease in the mass of phosphatidylethanolamine, suggesting that 22∶6n−3 induced PC synthesis by increasing phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase activity in the heart.

Determinants of users’ continuance of social networking sites: A self-regulation perspective

Social networking sites (SNS) have transformed how individuals interact, build and maintain social relationships. We proposed a research model on the determinants of user continuance using Bagozzi's framework of self-regulation as the theoretical foundation. Following the process of appraisal → emotional reactions → coping responses, we developed the model by leveraging findings from social presence and IS continuance research. Based on survey data from Facebook users, we found that appraisal factors (pleasure, awareness, connectedness, and system quality) were strong determinants of emotional reaction (user satisfaction and sense of belonging). User satisfaction and sense of belonging together positively influenced continuance intention.     

A parallel algorithm with enhancements via partial objective value cuts for cluster-based wireless sensor network design

In this paper, we develop a parallel algorithm for the solution of an integrated topology control and routing problem in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). After presenting a mixed-integer linear optimization formulation for the problem, for its solution, we develop an effective parallel algorithm in a Master–Worker model that incorporates three parallelization strategies, namely low-level parallelism, domain decomposition, and multiple search (both cooperative and independent) in a single Master–Worker framework.     

Lower Bounds for Eigenvalues of Elliptic Operators: By Nonconforming Finite Element Methods

The paper is to introduce a new systematic method that can produce lower bounds for eigenvalues. The main idea is to use nonconforming finite element methods. The conclusion is that if local approximation properties of nonconforming finite element spaces are better than total errors (sums of global approximation errors and consistency errors) of nonconforming finite element methods, corresponding methods will produce lower bounds for eigenvalues. More precisely, under three conditions on continuity and approximation properties of nonconforming finite element spaces we analyze abstract error estimates of approximate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Subsequently, we propose one more condition and prove that it is sufficient to guarantee nonconforming finite element methods to produce lower bounds for eigenvalues of symmetric elliptic operators. We show that this condition hold for most low-order nonconforming finite elements in literature. In addition, this condition provides a guidance to modify known nonconforming elements in literature and to propose new nonconforming elements. In fact, we enrich locally the Crouzeix-Raviart element such that the new element satisfies the condition; we also propose a new nonconforming element for second order elliptic operators and prove that it will yield lower bounds for eigenvalues. Finally, we prove the saturation condition for most nonconforming elements.
