Q: position nodes in force layout graph vertically I read a couple of posts on position nodes in force layout but didn't find an answer to what I was looking for.
I have an object with nodes and links.
I' trying to create a graph which would show all the nodes top to bottom.
I was looking at the example code from here:
https://github.com/danielstern/force-graph-example
Here's a screenshot of the result:

I'm trying to find a way to position each node so the nodes without parents would be on the top and the ones connecting to them would be under them and so forth.
Here's an image to illustrate it:

Right now, all the nodes are scattered randomly.
I wanted to if I need to actually calculate the position of each node in a vertical view or is there a smarter/built-in way to achieve it.
I looked at this example which looked promising:
How to organise node positions in D3 Force layout
But in my case I don't have a way to differentiate between nodes levels so I don't think the yPostion would help.
I was also looking at thes post:
d3.js - How can I expand force directed graph horizontally?
According to @Lars Kotthoff:
"The point of the force layout is to automatically lay out a graph like this so that you don't have to specify the positions of the nodes yourself".
Since my graph is not really a tree, I don't think the tree view would match.
What would be my best approach to position the nodes?
Or perhaps there's a better library to achieve what I need?

A: I found this package:
d3-dag
It basically supports what I need:
"Often data sets are hierarchical, but are not in a tree structure..."

The current study examined youths' and their parents' perceptions concerning participation in an investigation of spontaneous and induced pain during recovery from laparoscopic appendectomy. Youth and their parents independently completed surveys about their study participation. On a scale from 0 to 10, both parents and youth rated their experience as positive. Among youth, experience ratings did not differ by pain severity and survey responses did not differ by age. Most youth reported that they would tell another youth to participate. Ethical (...) issues regarding instigation of pain in youth for research purposes are examined. (shrink)

Epistemología médica: Diez postulados sobre el dolor.José Luis Díaz - 2011 - Apuntes Filosóficos 20 (39):295-301.details
Ha sido mi interés en los últimos años reflexionar formalmente sobre la conciencia en referencia a sus fundamentos y aspectos biológicos, en especial los cerebrales y los de comportamiento. Urdiendo sobre sus aspectos fisiológicos, fenomenológicos, epistemológicos y ontológicos, he explorado la naturaleza del dolor como un estado paradigmático de conciencia en un cuento de "neurociencia ficción" (Díaz, 2002), en un trabajo publicado en Salud Mental (Díaz, 2007) y en un libro sobre la conciencia viviente (Díaz, 2007). Estos análisis utilizan al (...) dolor como un fenómeno de conciencia fértil para examinar las principales conjeturas vigentes sobre la relación mente cuerpo y el problema epistemológico del acceso científico a la conciencia. La presente comunicación es un breve repaso de las principales ideas exploradas que se especifican en un decálogo de afirmaciones sobre la naturaleza y el conocimiento del dolor. Medical Epistemology: Ten Postulates on Pain It has been my interest in recent years to formally reflect on consciousness's biological aspects and foundations, especially the brain-related and behavioral ones. In dwelling on its physiological, phenomenological, epistemological and ontological aspects, I have explored the nature of pain as a paradigmatic state of consciousness in a "neuroscience-fiction" tale (Díaz, 2002), in a work published in Mental Health (Díaz, 2007), and in a book on living consciousness (Díaz, 2007). These analyses use pain as a fertile consciousness phenomenon in order to examine the main current conjectures on the mind-body relation and the epistemological problem of scientific access to consciousness. This work is a brief summary of the main ideas explored, specified as a Decalogue of statements on the nature and knowledge of pain. (shrink)

The Philosophical Foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Stoicism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Existentialism.Kim Diaz & Edward Murguia - 2015 - Journal of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies 15 (1):39-52.details
In this study, we examine the philosophical bases of one of the leading clinical psychological methods of therapy for anxiety, anger, and depression, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We trace this method back to its philosophical roots in the Stoic, Buddhist, Taoist, and Existentialist philosophical traditions. We start by discussing the tenets of CBT, and then we expand on the philosophical traditions that ground this approach. Given that CBT has had a clinically measured positive effect on the psychological well-being of individuals, (...) it becomes important to study the philosophical foundations on which this therapy is based.

Social Networkers' Attitudes Toward Direct-to-Consumer Personal Genome Testing.Amy McGuire, Christina Diaz, Tao Wang & Susan Hilsenbeck - 2009 - American Journal of Bioethics 9 (6-7):3-10.details
Purpose: This study explores social networkers' interest in and attitudes toward personal genome testing (PGT), focusing on expectations related to the clinical integration of PGT results. Methods: An online survey of 1,087 social networking users was conducted to assess 1) use and interest in PGT; 2) attitudes toward PGT companies and test results; and 3) expectations for the clinical integration of PGT. Descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize respondents' characteristics and responses. Results: Six percent of respondents have used PGT, 64% (...) would consider using PGT, and 30% would not use PGT. Of those who would consider using PGT, 74% report they would use it to gain knowledge about disease in their family. 34% of all respondents consider the information obtained from PGT to be a medical diagnosis. 78% of those who would consider PGT would ask their physician for help interpreting test results, and 61% of all respondents believe physicians have a professional obligation to help individuals interpret PGT results. Conclusion: Respondents express interest in using PGT services, primarily for purposes related to their medical care and expect physicians to help interpret PGT results. Physicians should therefore be prepared for patient demands for information and counsel on the basis of PGT results. (shrink)
Understanding "Understanding" in Public Understanding of Science.Joanna K. Huxster, Matthew Slater, Jason Leddington, Victor LoPiccolo, Jeffrey Bergman, Mack Jones, Caroline McGlynn, Nicolas Diaz, Nathan Aspinall, Julia Bresticker & Melissa Hopkins - 2017 - Public Understanding of Science 28:1-16.details
This study examines the conflation of terms such as "knowledge" and "understanding" in peer-reviewed literature, and tests the hypothesis that little current research clearly distinguishes between importantly distinct epistemic states. Two sets of data are presented from papers published in the journal Public Understanding of Science. In the first set, the digital text analysis tool, Voyant, is used to analyze all papers published in 2014 for the use of epistemic success terms. In the second set of data, all papers published (...) in Public Understanding of Science from 2010–2015 are systematically analyzed to identify instances in which epistemic states are empirically measured. The results indicate that epistemic success terms are inconsistently defined, and that measurement of understanding, in particular, is rarely achieved in public understanding of science studies. We suggest that more diligent attention to measuring understanding, as opposed to mere knowledge, will increase efficacy of scientific outreach and communication efforts. (shrink)

Level of Coherence Among Ethics Program Components and Its Impact on Ethical Intent.Pablo Ruiz, Ricardo Martinez, Job Rodrigo & Cristina Diaz - 2015 - Journal of Business Ethics 128 (4):725-742.details
Three ethics program components, a code of ethics, ethics training initiatives and ethics-oriented performance appraisal content, were examined for their relationship to ethical intent using a sample of 525 employees from the Spanish financial services industry. As expected, all three components contributed to the prediction of ethical intent. Importantly, clusters of employees who reported experiencing distinct combinations of the program components were identified and compared for their level of ethical intent. Employees who perceived all three components to be strongly implemented (...) reported significantly higher levels of ethical intent relative to those who viewed the components as either all weakly implemented or not present. Combinations including training initiatives plus one other element had a similar impact to the fully implemented approach. Contrary to expectations, ethics-oriented performance appraisal content did not relate more strongly to ethical intent than codes of ethics. (shrink)
Causal Factors Implicated in Research Misconduct: Evidence From Ori Case Files. [REVIEW]Mark S. Davis, Michelle Riske-Morris & Sebastian R. Diaz - 2008 - Science and Engineering Ethics 14 (2):395-414.details
There has been relatively little empirical research into the causes of research misconduct. To begin to address this void, the authors collected data from closed case files of the Office of Research Integrity (ORI). These data were in the form of statements extracted from ORI file documents including transcripts, investigative reports, witness statements, and correspondence. Researchers assigned these statements to 44 different concepts. These concepts were then analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The authors chose a solution consisting of (...) seven clusters: (1) personal and professional stressors, (2) organizational climate, (3) job insecurities, (4) rationalizations A, (5) personal inhibitions, (6) rationalizations B and, (7) personality factors. The authors discuss the implications of their findings for policy and for future research. (shrink)

U.S. Border Wall: A Poggean Analysis of Illegal Immigration.Kim Díaz - 2010 - Philosophy in the Contemporary World 17 (1):1-12.details
Drawing on the work of John Rawls and Thomas Pogge, I argue that the U.S. is in part responsible for the immigration of Mexicans and Central Americans into the U.S. By seeking to further its national interests through its foreign policies, the U.S. has created economic and politically oppressive conditions that Mexican and Central American people seek to escape. The significance of this project is to highlight the role of the U.S. in illegal immigration so that we may first acknowledge (...) our responsibility in order to seek lasting humane solutions.

Mariategui's Myth.Kim Diaz - 2013 - The American Philosophical Association, APA Newsletter on Hispanic and Latino Issues in Philosophy 13 (1):18-22.details
One of the best-known aspects of José Carlos Mariátegui's philosophy is his concept of a revolutionary myth. What does this revolutionary myth entail, how and why did Mariátegui develop this idea? The following article situates Mariátegui's thought in both the historical and intellectual context of the 1920's in order to answer these questions. This is relevant because Mariátegui's philosophy and his revolutionary myth have influenced several Latin American revolutionaries such as Ernesto Che Guevara and Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). Mariátegui's ideas (...) have thus changed the lives and history of Latin Americans and it is important that we neither demonize nor idolize Mariátegui's intellectual work without first attempting to understand it.

The syllogism and the predicate calculus cannot account for an ontological argument in Descartes' Fifth Meditation and related texts.

The current ethical structure for collaborative international health research stems largely from developed countries' standards of proper ethical practices. The result is that ethical committees in developing countries are required to adhere to standards that might impose practices that conflict with local culture and unintended interpretations of ethics, treatments, and research.

Mexican Immigration Scenarios Based on the South African Experience of Ending Apartheid.Kim Diaz & Edward Murguia - 2008 - Societies Without Borders 3 (2):209-227.details
How can we ameliorate the current immigration policies toward Mexican people immigrating to the United States? This study re-examines how the development of scenarios assisted South Africa to dismantle apartheid without engaging in a bloody civil war. Following the scenario approach, we articulate positions taken by different interest groups involved in the debate concerning immigration from Mexico. Next, we formulate a set of scenarios which are evaluated as to how well each contributes to the well-being of the populace both of (...) Mexico and of the United States. The South African scenario model has proven to be an effective tool in times of political disagreement. It fosters a common language among competing groups, non-hierarchal communication among groups, and acknowledgement of the concerns of each group involved. (shrink)
Bayesian Rationality for the Wason Selection Task? A Test of Optimal Data Selection Theory.Klaus Oberauer, Oliver Wilhelm & Ricardo Rosas Diaz - 1999 - Thinking and Reasoning 5 (2):115 – 144.details
Oaksford and Chater (1994) proposed to analyse the Wason selection task as an inductive instead of a deductive task. Applying Bayesian statistics, they concluded that the cards that participants tend to select are those with the highest expected information gain. Therefore, their choices seem rational from the perspective of optimal data selection. We tested a central prediction from the theory in three experiments: card selection frequencies should be sensitive to the subjective probability of occurrence for individual cards. In Experiment 1, (...) expected frequencies of the p- and the q-card were manipulated independently by concepts referring to large vs. small sets. Although the manipulation had an effect on card selection frequencies, there was only a weak correlation between the predicted and the observed patterns. In the second experiment, relative frequencies of individual cards were manipulated more directly by explicit frequency information. In addition, participants estimated probabilities for the four logical cases and of the conditional statement itself. The experimental manipulations strongly affected the probability estimates, but were completely unrelated to card selections. This result was replicated in a third experiment. We conclude that our data provide little support for optimal data selection theory. (shrink)

A Patterned Process Approach to Brain, Consciousness, and Behavior.José‐Luis Díaz - 1997 - Philosophical Psychology 10 (2):179-195.details
Abstract The architecture of brain, consciousness, and behavioral processes is shown to be formally similar in that all three may be conceived and depicted as Petri net patterned processes structured by a series of elements occurring or becoming active in stochastic succession, in parallel, with different rhythms of temporal iteration, and with a distinct qualitative manifestation in the spatiotemporal domain. A patterned process theory is derived from the isomorphic features of the models and contrasted with connectionist, dynamic system notions. This (...) empirically derived formulation is considered to be optimally compatible with the dual aspect theory in that the foundation of the diverse aspects would be a highly structured and dynamic process, the psychophysical neutral ?ground? of mind and matter posed (but not properly determined) by dual aspect and neutral monist theories. It is methodologically sound to approach each one of these processes with specific tools and to establish concurrences in real time between them at the organismic level of analysis. Such intra?level and inter?perspective correlations could eventually constitute psychophysical bridge?laws. A mature psychology of consciousness is necessary to situate and verify the bridges required by a genuine mind?body science. (shrink)

Dewey's and Freire's Pedagogies of Recognition : A Critique of Subtractive Schooling.Kim Díaz - 2011 - In Gregory Fernando Pappas (ed.), Pragmatism in the Americas. Fordham University Press.details
Subtractive schooling is a type of pedagogy that subtracts from the student aspects of her identity in order to assimilate and reshape her identity to fit the American mainstream. Here, I question the value of assimilation as it takes place in our public school systems. Currently, immigrant children are often made to feel inadequate for being culturally different. This is detrimental to their development as students given that at their young age they do not yet have the emotional maturity to (...) know that their experience, language and culture are legitimate and valuable. My goal is to shift the focus of subtractive schooling to one that fosters the growth of students through recognition. I suggest that John Dewey's and Paulo Freire's pedagogy of recognition is a helpful approach to this problem. Both Dewey and Freire's pedagogy emphasize recognition as central to their pedagogy.

Our hermeneutical and conceptual resource consists in the complementary readings of the dialectical movements of "morality" in Hegel's Philosophy of Right and in his Phenomenology of Spirit. First of all, we will examine the concepts of abstract good and conscience that appear in the Philosophy of Right. Secondly, we will examine the meaning of (...) such concepts in the Phenomenology of Spirit as complementary concepts. Finally, we offer a formulation and analysis of the meaning of the overall transition from morality to ethical life, starting from the dialectic articulation of both concepts, and the emergence of ethical freedom as an overcoming of moral freedom.

Recruiting Terminally Ill Patients Into Non-Therapeutic Oncology Studies: Views of Health Professionals. [REVIEW]Erika Kleiderman, Denise Avard, Lee Black, Zuanel Diaz, Caroline Rousseau & Bartha Knoppers - 2012 - BMC Medical Ethics 13 (1):33-.details
Background Non-therapeutic trials in which terminally ill cancer patients are asked to undergo procedures such as biopsies or venipunctures for research purposes, have become increasingly important to learn more about how cancer cells work and to realize the full potential of clinical research. Considering that implementing non-therapeutic studies is not likely to result in direct benefits for the patient, some authors are concerned that involving patients in such research may be exploitive of vulnerable patients and should not occur at all, (...) or should be greatly restricted, while some proponents doubt whether such restrictions are appropriate. Our objective was to explore clinician-researcher attitudes and concerns when recruiting patients who are in advanced stages of cancer into non-therapeutic research. Methods We conducted a qualitative exploratory study by carrying out open-ended interviews with health professionals, including physicians, research nurses, and study coordinators. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Analysis was carried out using grounded theory. Results The analysis of the interviews unveiled three prominent themes: 1) ethical considerations; 2) patient-centered issues; 3) health professional issues. Respondents identified ethical issues surrounding autonomy, respect for persons, beneficence, non-maleficence, discrimination, and confidentiality; bringing to light that patients contribute to science because of a sense of altruism and that they want reassurance before consenting. Several patient-centered and health professional issues are having an impact on the recruitment of patients for non-therapeutic research. Facilitators were most commonly associated with patient-centered issues enhancing communication, whereas barriers in non-therapeutic research were most often professionally based, including the doctor-patient relationship, time constraints, and a lack of education and training in research. Conclusions This paper aims to contribute to debates on the overall challenges of recruiting patients to non-therapeutic research. This exploratory study identified general awareness of key ethical issues, as well as key facilitators and barriers to the recruitment of patients to non-therapeutic studies. Due to the important role played by clinicians and clinician-researchers in the recruitment of patients, it is essential to facilitate a greater understanding of the challenges faced; to promote effective communication; and to encourage educational research training programs.

ABSTRACT The focus of this essay is Kant's argument in the Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals III that regarding oneself as rational implies regarding oneself as free. After setting out an interpretation of how the argument is meant to go, I argue that Kant fails to show that regarding oneself as free is incompatible with accepting universal causal determinism. However, I suggest that the argument succeeds in showing that regarding oneself as rational is inconsistent with accepting universal causal determinism (...) if one accepts a certain, plausible view of the explanation of events. RESUMEN El ensayo se enfoca en el argumento de Kant en la Fundamentación de la metafísica de las costumbres III según el cual considerarse racional implica verse a uno mismo como libre. Se interpreta la forma en que debe entenderse el argumento y se afirma que Kant no logra demostrar que considerarse libre es incompatible con la aceptación del determinismo casual universal. No obstante, se sugiere que el argumento sí logra demostrar que considerarse a uno mismo como racional es incompatible con la aceptación del determinismo casual universal, si se acepta una cierta versión plausible de la explicación de los eventos.

It is usually supposed that the Dirac and radiation equations predict that the phase of a fermion will rotate through half the angle through which the fermion is rotated, which means, via the measured dynamical and geometrical phase factors, that the fermion must have a half-integral spin. We demonstrate that this is not the case and that the identical relativistic quantum mechanics can also be derived with the phase of the fermion rotating through the same angle as does the fermion (...) itself. Under spatial rotation and Lorentz transformation the bispinor transforms as a four-vector like the potential and Dirac current. Previous attempts to provide this form of transformational behavior have foundered because a satisfactory current could not be derived.(14). (shrink)

Grocers Prepare for Possible Strike
Ralphs, other chains eye replacement workers
By Rachel Uranga
Time's Up: Grocery stores and unions could trigger largest labor action in a decade.
Ralphs, Albertsons and other supermarket chains could see a strike this week by about 47,000 Southern California union grocery workers if a contract deal isn't struck.
United Food and Commercial Workers International Union leadership has said it will take what it views as a "final offer" to its members for a vote Sept. 9. with the latest round of negotiations set to wrap up Sept. 8. If grocers reject the offer, the union said workers could walk out as soon as Sept. 12.
"Time has run out," said Mike Shimpock, a spokesman for UFCW 770. "We don't want to strike but we will if we have to."
The 3-year-old contract between the chains and the union expired in March.
With little progress being made in negotiations, both sides have been preparing for the possibility of a work stoppage at more than 500 grocery stores. The move would ripple through the regional economy and constitute the largest private labor action in more than a decade.
Grocers have started lining up workers to replace picketers.
"Recruiting is not something we want to do," said John Votava, a spokesman for Ralphs, owned by Ohio-based Kroger Co. "But we need to do it so we can continue to keep our stores open and serve our communities."
Votava said the company is ready for the long haul, if need be.
Union officials have started readying picket signs and informing employees of the availability of a contingency fund.
The last grocery strike in Southern California 15 years ago cost more than $1 billion and hurt the chains' market share. Analysts say a new strike could have similar results for the stores and weaken an already handicapped union, which has seen its ranks shrink as automation eats away at worker tasks.
The last strike also caused delays in food deliveries as members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters refused to pull their trucks past protesters and onto the stores' docks and distribution centers.
Eric Tate, secretary-treasurer of the Teamsters Local 848, which represents about 150 delivery drivers, said his members won't cross picket lines.
"Everybody loses in a strike," he said. "There will be some pain, but our members know they need to do this."

Notes and Nerds: Feed Me, Seymoure!
The Little Shop of Horrors is a 1960 comedy horror film directed by Roger Corman. Written by Charles B. Griffith, the film is about florist's assistant who cultivates a plant that feeds on human flesh and blood. The film is based on a 1932 story called "Green Thoughts" and short film "The Reluctant Orchid". Then is 1986 it was turned in a movie musical.
But in the fan cast we are focusing on the 1960's comedy horror version. I will be putting a link below for the original "The Little Shop of Horrors". Yes, there are some major differences in mine, the original, and the musical. Here are our picks for "The Little Shop of Horrors" horror remake.

Penn State: College of Arts and Architecture launches searchable photo archive. "After three years of planning and design, the College of Arts and Architecture has launched a public, searchable photo archive of images from within the college. The online photo archive, Arts and Architecture Resource Collaborative (AARC), is the product of a partnership among the College of Arts and Architecture Alumni and Communications Office, the Visual Resources Centre (VRC), and Arts and Architecture Information Technology (AAIT)." I went to glance at this and then got kind of lost in the images of the pipe organ being taken apart…
TWEAKS AND UPDATES
MetaFilter has changed ownership, but it looks like it'll be business as usual. "Big news: a few days ago Matt Haughey and I signed paperwork to transfer ownership of MetaFilter from him to me. This is sorta huge and sorta not a big deal at the same time: things are fine and basically nothing is changing on the site as a result, we're just keeping on as before. I'll talk about the whole thing below the fold."
Digital Trends: Microsoft's City Art Search App Now Documents Over 8,000 Great Works. "Microsoft has released a new update to its City Art Search app, making it an even more comprehensive directory of the world's greatest works of art. It now covers a total of 8,614 different artworks, situated in major metropolitan areas all over the world."
TechCrunch: With 200M daily users, Giphy will soon test sponsored GIFs. "Giphy, the four-year-old search engine for GIFs, is going to finally start testing monetization. According to a source close to the company, Giphy will begin testing sponsored GIFs within messaging experiences. This means that users who search for GIFs may be served a sponsored GIF within the messaging tab."
Salon: A new parent's guide to social media. "Before baby, you were a Facebooking, Instagramming, texting fool, sharing everything from your perfect pasta dish to your hella-good manicure. Now, looking at your little bundle of joy, you may be wondering: Is it safe to post pictures of baby? What's OK to share and what's TMI? What are the easiest tech tools to preserve those precious moments, without broadcasting to the world? These tips can help." More substantive than the headline would lead you to believe.
MakeUseOf: Really Private Browsing: An Unofficial User's Guide to Tor. "When Edward Snowden revealed the PRISM (NSA) and Tempora (GCHQ) global surveillance programs, shock was met with apathy. Those that suspected this level of surveillance found their suspicions vindicated. But the average man or woman on the street? Many didn't even pause for thought. This sort of invasion of privacy makes a number of people very nervous; they're not just criminals, dissidents, and terrorists, either. This level of surveillance directly affects everyone. There are a number of tools focused on protecting the privacy of regular citizens, like you and I. One of the most powerful tools at our disposal is Tor."
AROUND THE SEARCH AND SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD
The Next Web: Latin American presidents love Twitter – and that's not a good thing. "Politics is not just about running the government, it's also about creating opportunities for citizens to realise their aspirations. Because Latin American democracy was, in most cases, rolled out without a robust consultative process, decent education system or a plan to address structural poverty, it's systematically exclusionary…. There are two ways to fill this gap. The first is suppression via the use of force. Though this is fairly common in Latin America, as an official policy it undermines state legitimacy. The other option is to create new mechanisms for state-society relations." A very interesting read.
Vox: Snopes, the internet's foremost fact-checking website, may die in a messy legal battle. "Launched in 1994, Snopes is the internet's most thorough and reliable site dedicated to debunking hoaxes, myths, and fake news. It's so trustworthy that last year, when Facebook began enlisting fact-checking organizations to help it weed out fake news stories from its news feeds, Snopes was one of the five entities entrusted with the task, along with the Associated Press and other news outlets. But now Snopes's future is very much in doubt." Best overview of the whole Snopes debacle I've seen.
RESEARCH & OPINION
Ubergizmo: Facebook Shuts Down Its AI After Invents Its Own Language. "If you were to watch a reality cooking show like Hell's Kitchen for the first time, you might be a bit confused by the cooking terms and shorthand that chefs use to communicate with each other. To you it might sound like gibberish, but to them it makes perfect sense, and that's exactly the kind of situation that Facebook accidentally created with its AI efforts."
The Guardian: Facebook 'dark ads' can swing political opinions, research shows. "Using 'psychographic' profiles of individual voters generated from publicly stated interests really does work, according to new research presented at the Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The controversial practice allows groups to hone their messages to match the personality types of their targets during political campaigning, and is being used by firms including Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ to better target voters with political advertising with so-called 'dark ads'."

WKU geologist leads team mapping Gulf of Mexico seabed
A research team led by Dr. Royhan Gani, Associate Professor of Geology in WKU's Department of Geography and Geology, has been working on mapping seabed topography and understanding depositional history of the Gulf of Mexico using high resolution 3D seismic data.
A submarine channel, 3.5km wide and 120m deep, exists on the seabed on the continental slope and off the coast of Louisiana, Gulf of Mexico.
The research finding has been included in a recent BBC Natural History documentary titled World's Weirdest Events.
The documentary highlighted the fact that the fascinating landscape and geomorphology that we see on land can also be seen on the seabed, hidden beneath a thick column of ocean water.
For example, a 120-meter-deep channel, as deep as the mighty Brahmaputra River in Southeast Asia, has been mapped by the Gani team. This submarine river exists on the continental slope off the coast of Louisiana. These findings were recently published in the journal Sedimentary Geology at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S003707381630166X.

The early 19th century saw an epidemic rise in nervous disorders. Thought to be maladies of affluence and sophistication, doctors, surgeons and apothecaries rushed in to provide relief to a suffering and often monied clientele, so much so that after doctors started taking nervous disorders seriously, everyone seemed to be taking medication for them, outdoing each other with exaggerated symptoms and buying an array of medical equipment to deal with them. How strangely 21st century it all sounds.
Doctors did not agree as to the cause of nervous conditions. Some, like Tennet, argued the stomach was at core of the disorder. Others, including Buchan believed the causes more complex. Indolence and other things that relaxed or weakened the body like drinking tea, frequent bleeding or purging could lead to nervous disorders. While those things which hurt digestion could contribute to the problem, unfavorable postures of the body and intense application to study were equally likely to cause difficulties.
The symptoms of nervous disorders were often thought to begin in the stomach, considered the center of the nervous system. These symptoms might be accompanied by difficulty breathing; violent palpitations of the heart, sudden flushes or a sense of cold in various parts of the body, pains throughout the body, variable pulse, fits of crying and convulsive laughing, poor sleep and night-mares.
Progression of the disease would bring headaches, body cramps, mental disturbances including terror, sadness, weak memory and failure of judgment.
In many ways, the recommended treatments for nervous disorders were quite progressive. They included a multipronged approach that included diet, exercise, and adjustments of daily routine as well as medication.
As some doctors argue today, exercise was seen as superior to all medicines. Horseback riding and walking were considered ideal, but simply being quick about one's business and active in their chores was recommended as well. When these were too much, even riding in a carriage could produce beneficial effect.
Though not seen as actual cures, a number of medicines might be recommended to render the patient's life more comfortable. Mild purgatives to relieve constipation were recommended as were elixirs to improve digestion and strength the stomach.
Multiple forms of nervous conditions were recognized including: melancholy, nightmare, swoons, low spirits, hysteric affections and hypochondriac affections. Practioners recommended a unique approach to treatment for each disorder though they were all considered modifications of the same basic disease.
Melancholy was considered a state of insanity that rendered an individual incapable of enjoying the pleasures or performing normal duties of life and might terminate in absolute madness.
To ameliorate melancholy, a patient's diet should consist of cooling and opening foods. This meant primarily a fruit and vegetable diet, avoiding animal proteins, including fish and shell fish. Onions and garlic were to be avoided as they 'generate thick blood.' Melancholic patients should avoid strong liquors of every kind, coffee and tea, instead drinking water, whey or small beer.
Open air exercises of all kinds were recommended to "dissolve the viscid humours, … remove obstructions, promote the perspiration, and all the other secretions." (Buchan) In contrast, confinement to a closed room would be the very worst thing for the patient.
A patient's companions could play a key role in his or her improvement by providing the melancholic with a variety of amusements, entertaining stories, pastimes and music. Music in particular was considered highly efficacious.
Since suppression of 'customary evacuations', hard digestion or dryness of the brain were physical factors that contributed to a case of melancholy, medical interventions focused on keeping the body open and evacuating. Bleeding was often employed as a means of evacuation.
Purging medicines as well as those which increased urine or perspiration were often prescribed for days, weeks or even months at a time. External applications such as blistering ointments and warm baths might also be used.
Physicians of the era believed that those with weak nerves were likely to experience some degree of low spirits, a disturbance much like melancholy, but less severe. Symptoms could include sleeplessness, headaches, indigestion and loss of appetite. These would be exacerbated by solitude and gloomy thoughts.
Treatment for low spirits depended on the suspected cause. Generous diets, cold baths, exercise, cheerful company and good amusements were thought to be the best medicine overall. When the stomach or bowels were involved, infusions of Peruvian bark with cinnamon or nutmeg, or purges might be used. When suppression of menstrual or of the hemorrhoidal flux was suspected, bleeding, blistering or other similar approach was called for.
Those of melancholy temperament were the most susceptible to hypochondriac attacks in which "the worst consequences imagined from any unusual feeling even of the slightest kind; and in respect to such apprehensions and feelings, there is always the most obstinate believe and persuasion." (Perkins) Physical symptoms tended to cluster around digestive upsets, and vague physical discomforts.
The hypochondriac patient should enjoy a solid and nourishing diet, avoiding windy vegetables. Flesh meats were highly recommended, the claret or madeira to wash them down. Every kind of exercise and cold bathing were considered beneficial as were long travels to warmer climates.
Women, who were considered particularly delicate, were thought to be most susceptible to hysterical complaints. These included fits or laughter or crying, fainting, convulsions, low spirits, anxiety, heart palpations and cramps throughout the body.
Treatment of this disease sought first to shorten the fit, then to prevent their return. Strong patients might be bled during a fit. Weaker ones required more gentle methods to end the spell.
Strong smells, hot bricks to the bottoms of the feet, placing the feet and legs into hot water or strong rubbing on the legs, arms or belly might be used to bring a patient back from a paroxysm.
Practioners recommended a milk and vegetable diet, with water to drink, supplemented by a small quantity of spirits, to help cure an individual of their fits. Additionally cold bathing and everything 'bracing' and that kept the mind easy and cheerful was encouraged.
Family and friends were cautioned not to offer too much sympathy for these spells lest they inadvertently excite further episodes. Young ladies who experienced hysterical fits were advised to avoid boarding schools when the disease may be caught by imitation.
Medicines to strengthen the alimentary canal, as described above, were considered appropriate for hysterical affections as well. Vomits and opening medicines were sometimes recommended. Interestingly, opium was prescribed in this case, orally, applied externally or even given in clysters.
Nightmares were thought to result from indigestion. Some recommended a dram of brandy before bed which was thought to prevent the problem. Others thought it a poor custom and that foods easy to digest, cheerfulness, exercise and a light supper, early in the evening were better interventions.
If something more was needed, a glass of peppermint-water was recommended in place of the brandy. And for young people 'full of blood', frequent purging could be particularly useful.

This data can be used directly to create structural networks of authors or publishers, which then can be analyzed with network tools. These structural networks can help to find central actors in the process of spreading the knowledge connected to the Sphera. Digital tools enable the transformation of semantically encoded data in RDF into formats suitable for network analysis with tools like Gephi or Cytoscape and more advanced mathematical network analysis.

Cailey Tervo Illustration: Finals, Finals, FINALS!
Haven't posted in a while again, sorry! Like most college kids, I've been facing the finals frenzy these last few weeks. BUT I'M DONE IN THREE DAYS. WHOO.
Anyway, here's some of the work I've been doing for finals.
My final drawing for "Art Design and Culture." We were to make an image inspired by a piece in our textbook. I chose Gustave Caillebotte's "Paris Street Rainy Day," and redrew it in my own style and added animation in photoshop.


The Pittsburgh Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby will not be playing tonight against Tampa Bay. According to head coach Mike Sullivan, Crosby is expected to miss about a week with an upper-body injury.
Coach Sullivan on if Crosby will be available for tonight's game: "Sid will not play tonight… Right now his status is day-to-day, but my sense is it's going to be a week."
The team disclosed the injury on Wednesday when Crosby skipped practice although he did skate on his own before practice. It's unclear for now when Crosby was injured. As for now, coach Sullivan declined to offer specifics, but he did confirm that Crosby does not have a concussion.
Coach Sullivan confirms that Sidney Crosby's upper-body injury is NOT a concussion.
Crosby has eight goals and 11 assists this season. He was drafted first overall in 2005 and has 419 goals and 716 assists for 1,135 career points in 880 career games.
