Differentiating self-disclosure interventions from self-involving interventions based on the assessment of the short-term therapeutic effects: preliminary results by Fabio Monticelli, Chiara Massullo, Antonino Carcione, Lucia Tombolini, Flaminia Guerra, Marianna Liotti, Cecilia Monticelli, Elena Gasperini, Marianna Russo, Samanta Novaretto, Letizia La Vista, Paola Mallozzi, Claudio Imperatori, Chiara Del Brutto, Benedetto Farina

“…The TSD interventions involve the revelation of personal information to the patient, while the TSI implicates the direct expressions of the therapist’s reaction to the patient’s statements and behaviors within the session. To compare the immediate therapeutic effects of the TSD and TSI interventions, we conducted a study on 57 total interventions (i.e., 35 TSI and 22 TSD, respectively) performed during 17 psychotherapy sessions in a sample of 6 patients, evaluating the effects of each intervention (TSD or TSI) based on two parameters: patient’s cooperative attunement and patient’s metacognitive functioning. …”

Simulation of single-species bacterial-biofilm growth using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model and the CompuCell3D modeling environment by Nikodem J. Poplawski, Abbas Shirinifard, Maciej Swat, James A. Glazier

“…The CompuCell3D modeling environment provides a convenientplatform for biofilm simulations using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg (GGH)model, a cell-oriented framework designed to simulate growth and patternformation due to biological cells' behaviors. We show how to develop sucha simulation, based on the hybrid (continuum-discrete) model of Picioreanu,van Loosdrecht, and Heijnen (PLH), simulate the growth of a single-speciesbacterial biofilm, and study the roles of cell-cell and cell-field interactions indetermining biofilm morphology. …”

Regulation and Function of the Peg3 Imprinted Domain by Hongzhi He, Joomyeong Kim

“…This Peg3 domain shares several features with the other imprinted domains, including an evolutionarily conserved domain structure, along with transcriptional co-regulation through shared cis regulatory elements, as well as functional roles in controlling fetal growth rates and maternal-caring behaviors. The Peg3 domain also displays some unique features, including YY1-mediated regulation of transcription and imprinting; conversion and adaptation of several protein-coding members as ncRNA genes during evolution; and its close connection to human cancers through the potential tumor suppressor functions of Peg3 and Usp29. …”
