Since the sequencing of the human genome, it has been revealed that the vast majority of DNA does not code for proteins. Instead, these regions of DNA produce long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which have recently been reported to play important roles such as protein regulation and small RNA processing (Wilusz, Sunwoo, & Spector, 2009). The catalog and functions of lncRNAs in the ripening of tomato species ( Solanum lycopersicum ) are largely unknown. Similarly, the mechanisms of cis-natural antisense transcripts (cisNATs) of proximal complementary RNA strings, which function to inhibit transcription, are also poorly understood (Wang, Gaasterland, & Chua, 2005). Global issues in food production and malnutrition exacerbate the relevance of understanding these biological mechanisms central to the development of fruit. We identified certain functions of lncRNAs and cisNATs in the tomato ripening process using an RNA-Seq pipeline (Wang, Gerstein, & Snyder, 2005). Raw reads from two different stages in the tomato ripening cycle were aligned to a reference genome to test the hypothesis that there would be different expression levels for certain lncRNAs and cis-NATs between the two stages. The two stages were Mature Green, the stage in which the tomato is completely green, and Breaker, the stage in which the tomato shows initial colors of red. Then, the reads were de novo assembled, assessed for coding potential, and annotated by transcript and function. Finally, the results were filtered for lncRNAs (length > 200 bp, ORF 0) and cis-NATs (sense-antisense pairs, overlap length > 50 bp, differential splice patterns, expression value = 0). Differentially-expressed lncRNAs and cis-NATs between the two stages of development were identified, and their functions were analyzed. However, experimental evidence is necessary to confirm our findings and hypothesize models of cis-NAT mechanisms for further classification and identification.

Every living organism on earth has developed and evolved in unit gravity (1G) conditions. It is likely that any deviation from earth’s standard gravity will influence development, particularly at early stages. Previous reports from this lab showed that total length is reduced and that ventricle size is increased during development at 7G. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of increasing levels of hypergravity on the development of the ventricular myocardial wall and the neuromuscular responsiveness of Xenopus laevis. At early gastrulation, embryos were placed in a centrifuge simulating 7G, 10G, 15G or 17G until they reached stage 45 (feeding tadpole stage, approximately 72 hours from initiation of gastrulation). Mortality was low and only the 17G exposure induced significant mortality. Immediately following centrifugation, the embryos were stimulated by touching with a probe to test neuromuscular responsiveness. With increasing G forces, responsiveness to this test was incrementally reduced. A quarter of the embryos were fixed and their body dimensions were measured. One group of remaining live embryos, those exposed to 7G, was maintained and swimming behavior was observed during daily 5-minute periods for 52 days. Overall, abnormal swimming behavior was found in 33% of 7G embryos and in 2% of controls during this time. These embryos were later subjected to an orientation-swimming test. Hypergravity-exposed embryos required, on average, one second longer (9% of time required) to become oriented. From the embryos exposed to increasing G levels and then fixed, we found that total length was reduced successively at increasing hypergravity levels, but the snout-vent proportion of total length increased. Stained sections of the fixed embryos revealed that the thickness of the ventricle wall was increased, especially the interior ridge component (trabeculae/papillary muscles). The data demonstrates that hypergravity has persistent effects on the development of the ventricular myocardial wall, neuromuscular responsiveness, and equilibrium organs.

In our technology-driven world, consumers have access to a wealth of product options, but this access also allows consumers the opportunity to obtain purchasable content through illegal means. Past studies have addressed the perceptions of the criminality of online versus face-to-face theft, but limitations have been consistent across studies with the frequent use of collegiate sample pools. It was important for this experiment to gather data from a broader world population to make results more generalizable. Therefore, we examined a total of 589 participants from a global participant pool to evaluate their perceptions of the criminality of online piracy or physical theft of music or software. This experiment hypothesized that (1) the perception of the criminality of illegal downloading of media would be assessed higher ratings by South Asian participants than North American participants, and (2) criminality ratings would be assessed higher ratings by females than males. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes. They were then asked a series of questions using semantic differential and Likert scales to assess their perception of the criminal act committed in the randomly selected vignette. A one-way ANCOVA and a multiple regression test were performed to test the hypotheses.

COPYRIGHT 2014 BY PSI CHI, THE INTERNATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY IN PSYCHOLOGY (VOL. 19, NO. 4/ISSN 2164-8204) Four more issues of the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research have been printed. I have exciting updates to share and new developments to report, but above all, I want to take a moment to thank the authors for submitting their fine work to our Journal. They provide the content that is critical to the advancement of science. I also want to thank reviewers for their tireless work on behalf of Psi Chi Journal. Their excellent peer reviews provide the feedback necessary for us to meet the Journal’s mission “to foster and reward the scholarly efforts of psychology students as well as to provide them with a valuable learning experience” (Psi Chi, 2014). Our publication standards are high. In the fiscal 2013–2014 year, 54 editorial decisions were made. Only eight manuscripts were conditionally accepted at the first submission. This represents an acceptance rate of 14.8%, which is comparable to rates for American Psychological Association (APA) journals (APA, 2013). However, a majority of first submissions were invited to return major revisions (n = 31, 57.4%) providing ample evidence of our efforts to support burgeoning authors in strengthening their publication skills. The Journal is growing in multiple ways. Our manuscript submissions are up. In 2013, we received 64 original manuscripts. As of September 15, 2014, we have received 69 manuscripts. At this printing, 75% of the manuscripts processed in 2014 were submitted by undergraduate students, 18% by graduate students, and 7% by faculty. The numbers are similar to 2013 when the proportions were 79%, 13%, and 8% respectively. Psi Chi Journal is also literally growing in size. For the past two years, we have published five manuscripts per issue. This was a deliberate decision intended to provide our members with a high-quality, consistent product. Due to the increase in submissions and improved manuscript management system, we have increased the number of original empirical articles to seven per issue, starting with the 19.3 issue. Finally, our Journal team has grown. Last year, we had three excellent Associate Editors, Drs. Debi Brannan, Carlos Escoto, and Shelia Kennison. This summer we added a fourth Associate Editor to our team, Dr. Steven Rouse. Dr. Rouse is a Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University (CA) whose work focuses on personality assessment, positive psychology, and spirituality-based conceptions of self-worth. He brings strong quantitative skills to the position. Dr. Rouse teaches Introductory Psychology, Psychological Testing and Measurement, Personality, and Psychology and Religion.

All life on earth has developed and evolved in a unity gravity (1G) environment. Any deviation below or above 1G could affect animal development, a period when much change occurs and sensitivity is high. We imposed simulated hypergravity through centrifugation and analyzed the effects on the overall body length and cardiac growth of Xenopus laevis embryos. We predicted that increased contractile force would be required from the heart to adequately circulate blood, dispersing nutrients, and that this would inhibit organism growth and possibly induce a state of hypertrophy. Embryos reaching gastrulation stage were exposed to a 7G or 1G (control) field via centrifugation for 96 hours. We then recorded behavior, mortality and took body length measurements. We found no significant differences in behavior or mortality, however, body length was significantly reduced by an average of 6.8% in the 7G group. We then fixed, embedded, sectioned and stained embryos in order to investigate the dimensions of cardiac tissue and of the cardiac region of the body using image analysis software. We found the 7G group had a significantly reduced average body cross-sectional area (-18%) and yet a significantly larger ventricular cross-sectional area (+36%) when compared to the 1G group. The average ratio of ventricle cross-sectional area to average body cross-sectional area was significantly higher in the 7G group when compared to the 1G. From these data, we conclude that hypergravity has a significant inhibitory impact on the Xenopus laevis embryo growth and causes a significant increase in ventricle size.
