ECR Spotlight – Léna de Framond

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology during our centenary year but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Léna de Framond is an author on ‘ Calibrated microphone array recordings reveal that a gleaning bat emits low-intensity echolocation calls even in open-space habitat’, published in JEB. Léna conducted the research described in this article while a master's student in Dr Holger R. Goerlitz's lab at the Acoustics and Functional Ecology research group, Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Germany. She is now a scientific assistant in the lab of Henrik Brumm at Animal Communication and Urban Ecology, Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, Germany, investigating acoustic interactions between animals and their environments: what ambient noise, weather and conspecifics do to their acoustic signals and how they react.

Eunice Rivers, RN: The Myth of “The Only Woman” in the Tuskegee Study

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis (TSUS) was a 40-year study based in Macon County, Alabama. Miss Eunice Rivers, RN, a public health nurse and scientific assistant, was a critical, long-term worker in the TSUS. After scandal closed the TSUS in 1972, Rivers was the target of adverse attention, often portrayed as the only woman involved in the study in both fictional depictions and other nonfiction sources. No other women were identified as culpable. A review of the TSUS publications revealed the contributions of other women in the TSUS. Publications and other historical sources identified these women, their active roles, and even accolades bestowed. This article reviews the myth of Eunice Rivers as the lone woman involved in this study. The discussion offers analysis of the women in these roles and their subsequent publications. Eunice Rivers co-authored two TSUS publications. Six white women co-authored 11 publications. In conclusion, pre-1972, the public health research experiences of Rivers and the white women appeared equitable in their public exposure. Post 1972 TSUS disclosure in the media, equity vanished, and Rivers was the sole target of adverse attention. All women who had roles in the TSUS matter. This article addresses an unmet need for equitable full disclosure and reckoning.

Slow-Release Oral Morphine May Help Patients With OUD

The study also found that patients who took slow-release oral morphine drank less alcohol and reported an improvement in their mental and physical health.Slow-release oral morphine may benefit patients with OUD for whom other treatments are unsatisfactory, says Kirsten Lehmann, M.P.H.Carina Haeusler“We know that all available medications, despite their effectiveness, can cause unwanted symptoms like adverse effects, and it often occurs that patients are using additional psychotropic substances. To counteract an unsatisfactory course of treatment, we need a therapy tailored to the patient’s conditions,” said lead author Kirsten Lehmann, M.P.H., a scientific assistant at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Addiction Research of Hamburg University at the University Medical Center Hamburg–Eppendorf in Germany.Lehmann and her colleagues analyzed data from 180 adults with OUD from 23 outpatient treatment centers in Germany, where slow-release oral morphine is approved for OUD treatment. (It is not approved for treating OUD in the United States.) The patients had been taking medication treatment, such as racemic methadone, levomethadone, buprenorphine, or diamorphine for an average of seven years and had decided to switch to slow-release oral morphine because they were not satisfied with their current treatment. After 12 months, 60.6% were still being treated with slow-release oral morphine. The majority of those who stopped taking slow-release oral morphine switched back to their previous form of medication treatment.An analysis of the patients’ mental health using the German version of the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 and the Global Severity Index revealed that symptoms of depression, anxiety, and somatization improved in patients with those conditions. Patients also reported improved physical health on the Opiate Treatment Index–Health Symptom Scale, a checklist of 50 symptoms that people with OUD often experience.Roughly 24% of patients experienced adverse events over 12 months. However, only 31% of those adverse events were documented as having a possible, probable, or certain relationship to slow-release oral morphine.A subset of 113 patients reported their prior 30-day substance use at several points throughout the study. From baseline to 12 months, the average number of days they used heroin in the previous 30 days dropped from 4.9 to 1.4, and the average number of days they used substances intravenously dropped from 2.7 to .02. The average number of days they used alcohol in the previous 30 days dropped from 6.4 to 4.0. Their scores on visual analog scales, which measure heroin cravings, decreased from 34.8 at baseline to 13.6 at 12 months.Lehmann noted that the study did not add any interventions that could have affected the results. “Thus, the observed improvements in mental and physical health, alcohol consumption, and illegal drug use may be attributed primarily to [slow-release oral morphine],” she said.This study was supported by an unrestricted grant from Mundipharma Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG. ■ “Substitution Treatment for Opioid Dependence With Slow-Release Oral Morphine: Retention Rate, Health Status, and Substance Use After Switching to Morphine” is posted here. ISSUES NewArchived

Electronic Support for Retrospective Analysis in the Field of Radiation Oncology: Proof of Principle Using an Example of Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy of 251 Meningioma Patients.

The purpose of this study is to verify the possible benefit of a clinical data warehouse (DWH) for retrospective analysis in the field of radiation oncology. We manually and electronically (using DWH) evaluated demographic, radiotherapy, and outcome data from 251 meningioma patients, who were irradiated from January 2002 to January 2015 at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Erlangen University Hospital. Furthermore, we linked the Oncology Information System (OIS) MOSAIQ® to the DWH in order to gain access to irradiation data. We compared the manual and electronic data retrieval method in terms of congruence of data, corresponding time, and personal requirements (physician, physicist, scientific associate). The electronically supported data retrieval (DWH) showed an average of 93.9% correct data and significantly (p = 0.009) better result compared to manual data retrieval (91.2%). Utilizing a DWH enables the user to replace large amounts of manual activities (668 h), offers the ability to significantly reduce data collection time and labor demand (35 h), while simultaneously improving data quality. In our case, work time for manually data retrieval was 637 h for the scientific assistant, 26 h for the medical physicist, and 5 h for the physician (total 668 h). Our study shows that a DWH is particularly useful for retrospective analysis in the radiation oncology field. Routine clinical data for a large patient group can be provided ready for analysis to the scientist and data collection time can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, linking multiple data sources in a DWH offers the ability to improve data quality for retrospective analysis, and future research can be simplified.

The electronic Scientific Portfolio Assistant: Integrating scientific knowledge databases to support program impact assessment

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports basic and applied biomedical research by funding grants and contracts. To measure the outcomes and impact of their programs, NIH staff conduct program evaluations and undertake targeted investigations of research portfolios. Recently, the NIH launched the electronic scientific portfolio assistant (eSPA), a web-based analytics system based on linked scientific databases that provides quantitative information for program officers and planning and evaluation officials managing research portfolios. This system has improved the ability to create and collaboratively refine research portfolios, has reduced the time needed to collect and link outcomes data such as publications and patents, and is providing information used to support research management decisions. After describing the eSPA system, we provide examples of three eSPA evaluation projects that illustrate the impact of this system on NIH evaluation objectives. Copyright , Oxford University Press.

This Special Issue of Microsystem Technologies is devoted to Professor Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Haußelt on the occasion of his 65th birthday

Professor Dr.-Ing. Jurgen Hauselt, for many years the Head of the Institute of Materials Research III at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, today Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and also Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Materials Process Technology at the University of Freiburg will be celebrating his 65th birthday on May 21, 2011. His outstanding professional career features about 16 years of work in industry and 24 years in science and teaching at academic and research institutions. Jurgen Hauselt studied physics at the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg in Bavaria, Germany, and finished his diploma thesis in 1971. Under the guidance of the Professors Bernhard Ilschner and Wolfgang Blum at the Institute of Materials Science of the university he accomplished a PhD thesis on the recovery of the dislocation structure after stationary deformation with an Al-Zn alloy. After being awarded his doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) in 1975, he worked as a scientific assistant at this institute and during this time he took a year-long sabbatical for a postdoc position with Prof. W.D. Nix at Stanford University, USA. Back from the USA, Jurgen Hauselt started his industrial career in July 1977 as group leader in the Metal Research Department of Degussa AG at Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany. At the beginning he worked on the development of new alloys for dental and brazing technologies. In 1983 he became the Technical Director of Degussa Dental, Inc. at Long Island City, USA. As consequence of his remarkable success, he was promoted in November 1984 to the position of the division manager ‘Metallurgy’ at Degussa-Metal Research at Hanau-Wolfgang. The next steps of his career at Degussa had been appointments to a department head in 1987 connected with an enlargement of responsibilities for electronic materials, thin film materials and structural ceramics and in 1989 to the department director ‘‘Manufacturing Technology’’ with responsibility for the Central Research ‘‘Metal’’ which included melting and casting techniques as well as metal forming and powder metallurgy. A new phase of Jurgen Hauselt’s life began on October 1, 1993 with the acceptance of the position of Head of the Institute of Materials Research III at the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe which was renamed Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe in 1995. In 1996 he was additionally appointed Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Materials Process Technology at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) at the University of Freiburg. Promoted by the two appointments of Jurgen Hauselt, a close scientific and personal cooperation of both institutions has developed in the field of Microsystems Technology, particularly. Credit is due to him also for his considerable contribution as vice-spokesman to the formation of the DFG-Collaborative Research Centre 499 ‘‘Design, production and quality assurance of moulded microcomponents made of metallic and ceramic materials’’. By reason of his outstanding scientific competence in several fields of materials science and process technologies for microsystems but also due to his charismatic and engaging personality, his membership in numerous executive and scientific committees has been very much appreciated. Beside his manifold activities in the science community and as a university professor, Jurgen Hauselt K.-H.

Report of the 5th International Symposium for Qualitative Music Therapy Research

The 5th International Symposium for Qualitative Music Therapy Research of the International Music Therapy Institute of the Universitat der Kunste (UdK) Berlin was held from April 21-26, 2004. A group of 23 music therapists from ten different countries met at Gutshof Sauen, in the Brandenberg region. Gutshof Sauen is owned by the UdK and other Berlin colleges of the arts and has been specifically established for use by such meetings. The house was originally the home of Dr. August Bier, a surgeon of the Charite in Berlin. His grave is in the woods around the house. A beautiful garden and lovely woods surround the house, which has a quiet and restful atmosphere well suited for our symposium gathering. At the end of the meeting time in Sauen, the group returned to Berlin to give a public presentation at the UdK on April 26th, welcomed warmly by the Dean of Music and the Vice President of the University, Dr. Patrick Dinslage, followed by an introduction to the presentation by Dr. Mechtild Jahn-Langenberg.1 The presentation was well attended, with a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere. It was followed by an event to open the Faculty of Music for 2004 where the work of the International Music Therapy Institute (IMB) was highlighted. We are grateful for the generous reception that followed and the opportunity it provided to meet faculty members from the UdK. The meeting continues a tradition of such gatherings since 1994. The current Scientific Board of the IMB comprises Mechtild Jahn-Langenberg (IMB Director), Kenneth Aigen, Carolyn Kenny, Dorit Amir, and Barbara Wheeler. This group planned the symposium and decided the invitations for participants. Because it is not possible to invite every person involved in qualitative research in music therapy, the Board is responsible to create a group that can work effectively together, involving a larger number of experienced qualitative researchers with a smaller number of academics and graduate students who can benefit from the contact with the group. The Scientific Board members are due sincere thanks for their efforts in developing this group. In addition, the scientific assistant at the UdK, Hedwig Koch-Temming, undertook a large part of the organisational work for the symposium. She was also a participant in the programme, and we enjoyed and appreciated her great efforts to keep everything running smoothly in the lead up to the event as well as on a day-to-day basis when we were there. The funding for attendance at the symposium was provided partly by the participants in terms of airfares and the costs of staying in Berlin; however, the Faculty of Music at the UdK generously provided all of the funding for the accommodation and meals at Gusthof Sauen and the transport to and from Berlin. The support for the IMB from the Faculty of Music is impressive and has been much appreciated by the group participants. The structure of the symposium was decided by members of the Scientific Board and was advised to the participants before they arrived. Therefore, this structure held together the work of the group over the days in Sauen. There were plenary sessions involving the total group, as well as meetings in four smaller sub-groups. The four plenary sessions of the total group focused on a number of topics including Collaborating with clinicians, Connecting with other academic disciplines, an open session, and a reporting session where each of the small groups made a short report to the larger group for discussion and feedback. While some days involved quite hard work in terms of discussions in the small groups, reading materials and other preparations, and sometimes rushing to have a presentation or idea ready for the small or large group discussion, there was a more relaxed atmosphere in the evenings with singing, music and dancing filling our nights with fun and sociability. Many gifts and talents of the group members were demonstrated in this music making, showing music therapy to have a rich pool of talented and skilled professionals, and giving the group another way of interrelating and learning about each other. …

Honey, I shrunk the circuit

Like a shrinking act from a science-fiction movie, an international team of physicists has reduced the size of an electrical contact in a working circuit to the smallest possible dimension: a single atom. By comparing circuits in which the constriction was filled with a single atom of various elements, the group found that the number of current-carrying modes or pathways through such minuscule contacts is directly related to the number of valence orbitals available to the central atom [ Nature , 394,154 (1998)] The study may support the march toward ever-tinier electronic devices by revealing to scientists and engineers one element of the relationship between the electrical properties of macroscopic circuits and the quantum nature of the atomic building blocks from which they are constructed. The investigation was conducted by Elke Scheer, a scientific assistant in the physics department at Karlsruhe University, Germany; Cristian Urbina, a research director at the Atomic Energy Commission, Gif-sur-Yvette,...

Arne Noe-Nygaard (1908-1991)

One of Denmark's most distinguished scientists, geology professor Arne Noe-Nygaard, died on 3 July 1991 at the age of 83. ... Volcanism and igneous rocks ... were Noe's main interest. ... In 1936 Noe was appointed scientific assistant at Copenhagen's Mineralogy Museum; he moved two years later to the Geological Survey of Denmark. Here, besides taking care of the Drilling Division, he was assigned the geological mapping of the Faroe Islands, which are almost exclusively made up of volcanic material formed during the younger Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. This work was very close to his heart and he participated in it until his final days. In 1940 he was promoted to sectional geologist of the Drilling Division, a job that was in fact far from his main interests. In spite of this, Noe demonstrated his undisputed ability for management and administration, which became obvious when in 1942 he competed successfully for the Chair of Professor Geologiae at UC, .... It was not long before the university and other academic institutions became aware of Noe's enormous energy and capacity for work. A few years after taking on his professorship he was elected Decan (head) of mathematics - natural sciences faculty, and in 1955 he was made a member of the university's Supreme Governing Body (Consistorium). He became a member of boards of directors of various foundations, such as in 1963 the prestigious Carlsberg Foundation. ... Noe's name will be remembered by generations of international and Danish geologists and arctic explorers.

THE RELATION BETWEEN COST AND UTILITY IN SOIL SURVEY (I–III)1

SummaryA series of five papers compares the cost‐effectiveness of different procedures for soil survey at medium scale. The first three are presented here.The whole trial area of 120 km2 in Berkshire, in south‐central England, was mapped in soil series by free survey at 1:25 000 for publication at 1:63 360. Three contrasting sample areas of 1.26 km2 were resurveyed to the same legend by free survey at 1:10 560, and by grid survey at a range of scales between 1:20 000 and 1:70 000, to both general purpose (soil series) and fifteen–twenty different single‐property legends. The direct costs of producing each map were recorded.The study confirmed how much the free survey procedure depended on the external features of soil boundaries to locate them. The density of soil observations required to map soil series by free survey at the same map scale in different terrains was approximately proportional to the length of mapped boundary/km2, or to the number of separately mapped soil occurrences/km2. The density was least where the soil boundaries had the clearest external expression. Survey effort/km2 increased in proportion to the density of observations but was also affected by local differences in the ease of cross‐country access, or in the effort necessary (by spade or auger) to identify the soil at a point.For soil series grid surveys there are approximately linear relations between log(cost) and log(map scale) with gradients between 1.3 and 1.7.A map of soil series by grid survey is more expensive than a map of the same units, based upon the same density of observations by the same surveyor, by free survey. But a series map by grid survey by a scientific assistant is cheaper than a series map based on the same density of soil observations by free survey by a scientific officer (diplomate or graduate). The cost of an isoline map of a single soil property depends very much upon the cost of determining the property mapped, and to some extent upon the number of different isoline maps produced from a single set of samples or observations. Even at the unusually low costs of chemical analyses assumed here, an isoline map of one chemical property costs nearly twice as much as a series map by grid survey.

Physics Research in Western Germany

THE physical societies of the Western German Zone have issued a memorandum urging political authoritiest and other not to grudge financial help to place research. In spite of the well-known fact ‘the physics of to-day is the technology of to-morrow, heavy restrictions have been introduced since the end of the War, and particularly since the currency reform, in the budgets of all university laboratories. Staff has been dismissed and vacant chairs have not been filled. Although Germany has become poor and should be thrifty, it can only live on its output and will soon be considerably poorer still, unless more means than ever before (proportionally) are spent on the re-equipment of its institutes and the training of young scientific workers. The memorandum points out that the number of students in the Western Zone universities has doubled; but science, cut off from the world for many years, has fallen behind and is unable to catch up with other countries for lack of apparatus and materials, so that men of science prefer to work abroad. Modern physics, even if carried on in the least ambitious style, requires very expensive equipment, and the great complication of the work demands more technical as well as clerical staff. “No industrial laboratory works as uneconomic-ally as do the university laboratories, where owing to lack of staff the professors and scientific assistants must do almost all the work themselves.’ Further, if, as is now the case, one scientific assistant must suffice for a hundred students, both the work of the assistant and the training of the students suffer. The Notgemeinschaft der deutschen Wissenschaft can only supply a small portion of the needed funds, and the universities should have funds of their own, if work is to be undertaken independently of the approval of non-scientific bodies. At present, every trifle must be approved by a Government department and decisions are in consequence greatly delayed.
