Response to Errors of Fact in the Recent Article by Westerhof, Segers, and Westerhof

We thank Davies et al1 for their important and opposing remarks. Let us begin with a sincere apology. You rightfully indicate that instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) was incorrectly defined in the text. We realized this error just after the proofs were approved and have corrected the errors in the meantime. Please see the correction note in Hypertension and the article’s corrected electronic version (as per September 2015). The point we make in our controversy is that the basis on which iFR is built is incorrect.2 We refer to the article of Sen et al, where iFR is introduced, stating that “Intracoronary resistance is naturally constant and minimized during the wave-free period.”3 Furthermore, Figure 1 and its caption show …

Addendum to the Special Issue Entitled Genetic Influences on Peer and Family Relationships Across Development.

This August issue begins with a follow-up on July’s special issue. The July special issue, entitled ‘‘Genetic Influences on Peer and Family Relationships across Development,’’ was co-edited by Lisabeth F. DiLalla and Paula Y. Mullineaux. Both focus on the role of genetic influences on adolescent and child development. Their expertise is what led them to develop the outstanding special issue published in July. Regrettably, the lead co-editor’s own contribution to the special issue was inadvertently excluded. There are no good remedies for addressing publishing errors, even in the age of online publishing. The best that we could do was to publish her piece in the following issue. As a result, this issue begins with my sincere apologies for the error and with her article: ‘‘Peer Victimization and DRD4 Genotype Influence Problem Behaviors in Young Children’’ by Lisabeth Fisher DiLalla, Kyle Bersted and Sufna Gheyara John. While we were thinking through how to remedy the failure to include a manuscript in the hard copy version of the special issue, we realized another omission. Although it is not customary to do so, we found it incumbent on us to publically extend our appreciation to the reviewers who helped develop the special issue. As a look at the special issue reveals, the special issue editors and reviewers upheld the journal’s standards and furthered its mission of supporting cutting-edge multidisciplinary work. For that, we are very grateful to the following researchers: Kevin Beaver Sara Biebl Marieke Buil Alex Burt Kit Elam Sufna Gheyara John Tina Kretschmer Kelly Klump Alison Pike Michael Pogue-Geile Soo Rhee Erica Spotts Pol Van Lier Frank Vitaro

“Dear Obese PhD Applicants”: Twitter, Tumblr and the Contested Affective Politics of Fat Doctoral Embodiment

Correspondence: To the Editors of 'Music & Letters'

I’m writing to correct a small but important pair of factual errors in my review of Opera Indigene: Re/presenting First Nations and Indigenous Cultures, ed. by Pamela Karantonis and Dylan Robinson (Music & Letters, 95 (2014), 104–7). I mistakenly identified the co-editors of the volume as non-indigenous, but I understand that Dylan Robinson is Stó:lō. Also, the opera Pecan Summer was composed entirely by Deborah Cheetham. I offer my sincere apologies to Prof. Robinson and Ms Cheetham for the oversight.
