Background:
Obesity is highly prevalent and disabling, especially in individuals with severe mental illness including bipolar disorders (BD). The brain is a target organ for both obesity and BD. Yet, we do not understand how cortical brain alterations in BD and obesity interact.
Methods:We obtained body mass index (BMI) and MRI-derived regional cortical thickness, surface area from 1231 BD and 1601 control individuals from 13 countries within the ENIGMA-BD Working Group. We jointly modeled the statistical effects of BD and BMI on brain structure using mixed effects and tested for interaction and mediation. We also investigated the impact of medications on the BMI-related associations.
Results:BMI and BD additively impacted the structure of many of the same brain regions. Both BMI and BD were negatively associated with cortical thickness, but not surface area. In most regions the number of jointly used psychiatric medication classes remained associated with lower cortical thickness when controlling for BMI. In a single region, fusiform gyrus, about a third of the negative association between number of jointly used psychiatric medications and cortical thickness was mediated by association between the number of medications and higher BMI.
Conclusions:We confirmed consistent associations between higher BMI and lower cortical thickness, but not surface area, across the cerebral mantle, in regions which were also associated with BD. Higher BMI in people with BD indicated more pronounced brain alterations. BMI is important for understanding the neuroanatomical changes in BD and the effects of psychiatric medications on the brain.

Background
Definition of disorder subtypes may facilitate precision treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We aimed to identify PTSD subtypes and evaluate their associations with genetic risk factors, types of stress exposures, comorbidity, and course of PTSD.
MethodsData came from a prospective study of three U.S. Army Brigade Combat Teams that deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. Soldiers with probable PTSD (PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition ≥31) at three months postdeployment comprised the sample (N = 423) for latent profile analysis using Gaussian mixture modeling and PTSD symptom ratings as indicators. PTSD profiles were compared on polygenic risk scores (derived from external genomewide association study summary statistics), experiences during deployment, comorbidity at three months postdeployment, and persistence of PTSD at nine months postdeployment.
ResultsLatent profile analysis revealed profiles characterized by prominent intrusions, avoidance, and hyperarousal (threat-reactivity profile; n = 129), anhedonia and negative affect (dysphoric profile; n = 195), and high levels of all PTSD symptoms (high-symptom profile; n = 99). The threat-reactivity profile had the most combat exposure and the least comorbidity. The dysphoric profile had the highest polygenic risk for major depression, and more personal life stress and co-occurring major depression than the threat-reactivity profile. The high-symptom profile had the highest rates of concurrent mental disorders and persistence of PTSD.
ConclusionsGenetic and trauma-related factors likely contribute to PTSD heterogeneity, which can be parsed into subtypes that differ in symptom expression, comorbidity, and course. Future studies should evaluate whether PTSD typology modifies treatment response and should clarify distinctions between the dysphoric profile and depressive disorders.

The initial surface abundances of Population II stars have been altered by the interplay between convection, rotational mixing and diffusion. In particular the shallower the outer convection zone the stronger the diffusion impact. We present preliminary results on constraining the extension of the convection zones of Population II stars thanks to 3D hydrodynamical simulations.

Excitation of f- and p- modes by Reynolds stresses and entropy fluctuations is reviewed. Approximations made to allow semi-analytic analysis are discussed. The spectrum of solar convection is presented and shown to NOT be separable into independent spatial and temporal factors. An appropriate fitting formula is presented.
Time-distance local helioseismology has been analyzed using numerical simulations. One approach is simulation of solar surface convection on supergranule scales (48 Mm wide by 20 Mm deep). A surface shear layer develops. There is a continuous increase in the horizontal scale of the convective motions with increasing depth. Some small granular scale downflows at the surface are swept sideways by diverging larger scale upflows from below to merge into stronger downdrafts in these larger downflow boundaries. Elsewhere, some granular downflows have to beat their way against the upflows from below are halted. These simulations have a rich spectrum of f- and p- modes that turn within the computational domain. Cross-correlations between each surface location and each location below the surface reveals the wave propagation pattern from the surface. Waves at the surface that propagate into the interior, spread horizontally and are refracted back toward the surface. Time-distance diagrams have been constructed and inverted to determine the subsurface flows, which can then be compared with the average flows in the simulation.
A second approach calculates the propagation of linearized waves through a fixed, but non-uniform, background state. Some examples of such analysis are presented.

We present the first center-to-limb G-band images synthesized from high resolution simulations of solar magneto-convection. Towards the limb the simulations show “hilly” granulation with dark bands on the far side, bright granulation walls and striated faculae, similar to observations. At disk center G-band bright points are flanked by dark lanes. The increased brightness in magnetic elements is due to their lower density compared with the surrounding intergranular medium. One thus sees deeper layers where the temperature is higher. At a given geometric height, the magnetic elements are cooler than the surrounding medium. In the G-band, the contrast is further increased by the destruction of CH in the low density magnetic elements. The optical depth unity surface is very corrugated. Bright granules have their continuum optical depth unity 80 km above the mean surface, the magnetic elements 200-300 km below. The horizontal temperature gradient is especially large next to flux concentrations. When viewed at an angle, the deep magnetic elements optical surface is hidden by the granules and the bright points are no longer visible, except where the “magnetic valleys” are aligned with the line of sight. Towards the limb, the low density in the strong magnetic elements causes unit line-of-sight optical depth to occur deeper in the granule walls behind than for rays not going through magnetic elements and variations in the field strength produce a striated appearance in the bright granule walls.

We present results from realistic, high resolution, simulations of solar magneto-convection. Simulations were run with both a mean vertical and a mean horizontal field. The magnetic field is quickly swept out of the granules and meso-granules and concentrated in the intergranular lanes.

Depth-sensing indentation was applied to three-dimensionally ordered silica foams of two different pore diameters—500 nm and 850 nm—formed by colloidal crystal templating. The contact responses of indentations with Berkovich and hemispherical indentation tips are presented over a load range of 1 mN to 100 mN. Scanning electron microscopy images of residual indentation impressions showed homogeneous deformation for small loads in which the peak displacement was shallow relative to the film–substrate interface. The characteristics of the load–displacement responses changed from periodic discontinuities, associated with cell wall fracture and pore collapse, to smooth and increased stiffness, as a result of densification due to the accumulation of material under the indentation tip and proximity (and contact) of the substrate. Load–displacement responses were translated into pressure–volume space, in which the average pressure during indentation is a measure of the crushing pressure of the cell walls.

Magnetoconvection simulations on meso-granule and granule scales near the solar surface are used to study small scale dynamo activity, the emergence and disappearance of magnetic flux tubes, and the formation and evolution of micropores.
From weak seed fields, convective motions produce highly intermittent magnetic fields in the intergranular lanes which collect over the boundaries of the underlying meso-granular scale cells. Instances of both emerging magnetic flux loops and magnetic flux disappearing from the surface occur in the simulations. We show an example of a flux tube collapsing to kG field strength and discuss how the nature of flux disappearance can be investigated. Observed Stokes profiles of small magnetic structures are severely distorted by telescope diffraction and seeing.
Because of the strong stratification, there is little recycling of plasma and field in the surface layers. Recycling instead occurs by exchange with the deep layers of the convection zone. Plasma and field from the surface descend through the convection zone and rise again toward the surface. Because only a tiny fraction of plasma rising up from deep in the convection zone reaches the surface due to mass conservation, little of the magnetic energy resides in the near surface layers. Thus the dynamo acting on weak incoherent fields is global, rather than a local surface dynamo.

The natural state of the Solar chromosphere is very dynamic. Any photospheric disturbance will grow and naturally form shocks over the twenty scale-heights in density between the photosphere and the corona. Observations in the resonance lines from singly ionized calcium and recently in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum observed with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite also show a very dynamic chromosphere. This dynamic picture is further supported by numerical simulations. Static and dynamic pictures of the chromosphere are fundamentally different. The simulations also show that time variations are crucial for our understanding of the chromosphere itself and for the spectral features formed there.

Millions of seismic eigenmodes are excited to low amplitudes in the Sun, with an amplitude spectrum that grows approximately as a power of the frequency until it reaches a maximum at 3 mHz, and then drops off again towards higher frequencies (Libbrecht, 1988; Libbrecht & Woodard, 1991).

The shearing box has rapidly become the accepted way to investigate turbulence in Keplerian shear flows. In this paper we discuss to what extent and in which way the outcome of the shearing box is affected by the adopted boundary conditions, and how the shearing box can be modified to capture more of the physics of an accretion disc. The original shearing box model is too symmetric to generate a net accretion flow, but the symmetry can be broken by including the main effects of the cylindrical geometry of the real disc. However the quantitative change in the resulting angular momentum transport is small.

We explore the general properties of convection in a solar surface layer. Our three-dimensional simulations use a tabulated equation of state that includes excitation and ionization of hydrogen and other abundant atoms, and the formation of H2 molecules. The radiative energy exchange is determined by solving the radiative transfer equation. This is particularly important in the upper cooling layer, where the observed granulation pattern is created. Our hydrodynamic runs simulate a region 6 × 6 × 3 Mm, extending vertically from the temperature minimum at 0.5 Mm above the visible surface, down to 2.5 Mm below it. We have run a new simulation at twice the resolution (25 km horizontally, and 15 - 35 km vertically) of a previous run. The bulk properties of the convection are very similar in both runs.

Three-dimensional simulations of solar convection are described. The simulations show that viewing convection as a hierarchy of eddies does not properly represent the large scale topology. A better picture is to view convection as a broad warm upflow with embedded cool, narrow, downdrafts. These downdrafts penetrate many scale heights through the convection zone and carry most of the net convective flux. Near the solar surface there are extremely large fluctuations in the temperature (5000-11000 K), entropy and pressure (factor of four). Radiation temperature does not provide an accurate measure of the gas temperature at a given geometric depth, because the opacity is very temperature sensitive. The emergent intensity in the infrared is smaller and has a smaller contrast than in the visible. However, in terms of radiation temperature the infrared is hotter and has a higher contrast than the visible.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we now reveal to you the secrets of how to create chaos out of order. The existence of a chromosphere or corona requires the existence of motions. A chromosphere or corona requires some non-radiative heat input. There has to be some kind of motion, either oscillatory or quasi-static, to transport the energy up to the chromosphere or corona. This ordered motion may be observed as chaos: microturbulence, macroturbulence, line asymmetries or shifts. Of course, it is necessary to actually compute the effects of motions on line profiles in order to see what will really happen.

The crucial question in the analysis of social unrest is why it occurs at a particular moment in history. Whether one refers to the new militant movements in the United States (“Black Power,” “Red Power,” “Ethnic Power”), Ukrainian nationalism in the Soviet Ukraine, Great Russian revitalization, or the recent World Slovak Congress held in New York; it is clear that traditional systems of social stratification in the United States and Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe are now being severely strained. As Shibutani and Kwan have emphasized, in stable stratified societies the inequality of prerogatives goes unquestioned, even by the subjugated who willingly support it. Only in periods of instability is the differential access to opportunity questioned. And dissatisfaction arises only when alternatives to the status quo are perceived. This insight is the core of the “theory of relative deprivation.”
