    Abstract Background: Most studies have defined economic well-being as socioeconomic status, with little attention given to whether other indicators influence self-esteem. Little is known about racial/ethnic disparities in the relationship between economic well-being and self-esteem during adulthood.
    Aim: To explore the impact of economic well-being on self-esteem in adulthood and differences in the association across race/ethnicity.
    Methods: The current study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. The final sample consisted of 2267 African Americans, 1425 Hispanics, and 3678 non-Hispanic Whites. Ordinary linear regression analyses and logistic regression analyses were conducted.
    Results: African Americans and Hispanics were more likely to be in poverty in comparison with non-Hispanic Whites. More African Americans were unemployed than Whites. Those who received fringe benefits, were more satisfied with jobs, and were employed were more likely to have higher levels of self-esteem. Poverty was negatively associated with self-esteem. Interaction effects were found between African Americans and job satisfaction predicting self-esteem.
    Conclusion: The role of employers is important in cultivating employees' self-esteem. Satisfactory outcomes or feelings of happiness from the workplace may be more important to non-Hispanic Whites compared to African Americans and Hispanics.

    Abstract Alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a telomere maintenance mechanism mediated by break-induced replication, evident in approximately 15% of human cancers. A characteristic feature of ALT cancers is the presence of C-circles, circular single-stranded telomeric DNAs composed of C-rich sequences. Despite the fact that extrachromosomal C-rich single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs), including C-circles, are unique to ALT cells, their generation process remains undefined. Here, we introduce a method to detect single-stranded telomeric DNA, called 4SET (Strand-Specific Southern-blot for Single-stranded Extrachromosomal Telomeres) assay. Utilizing 4SET, we are able to capture C-rich single-stranded DNAs that are near 200 to 1500 nucleotides in size. Both linear C-rich ssDNAs and C-circles are abundant in the fractions of cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, which supports the idea that linear and circular C-rich ssDNAs are generated concurrently. We also found that C-rich ssDNAs originate during Okazaki fragment processing during lagging strand DNA synthesis. The generation of C-rich ssDNA requires CST-PP (CTC1/STN1/TEN1-PRIMASE-Polymerase alpha) complex-mediated priming of the C-strand DNA synthesis and subsequent excessive strand displacement of the C-rich strand mediated by the DNA Polymerase delta and the BLM helicase. Our work proposes a model for the generation of C-rich ssDNAs and C-circles during ALT-mediated telomere elongation.

    Abstract: ... for matching natural smile facial images. Int J Prosthodont 2023. doi: 10.11607/ijp.8364. ...

    Abstract Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the reliability of various reference areas for digital alignment between three-dimensional (3D) resting and smiling facial models.
    Materials and methods: 3D posed and natural smiling faces of 33 adults were registered to the respective neutral faces, using six matching strategies with different reference matching surfaces: nose (N), nose + central forehead (NFc), nose + whole forehead (NFw), nose + chin (NC), nose + central forehead + chin (NFcC), and nose + whole forehead + chin (NFwC). The positional discrepancies of the registered images were measured at the left and right pupil centers.
    Results: Two-way ANOVA and post hoc multiple pairwise t-test with Bonferroni correction (α = .05) were used to evaluate the measurements. As a result, the use of larger reference areas increases the trueness of image matching; whereas, there was no statistically significant difference between the matching strategies within the same smiling type. Meanwhile, the image registration of posed smiles resulted in fewer positional disparities than the natural smiles with significant differences observed for the registration using the NC and NFcC surface-based matching areas at the right pupil (
    Conclusion: The findings of this study suggested that the reference surface areas and smiling types have some impacts on the accuracy of 3D smiling facial image alignments. Large and evenly distributed matching surfaces are recommended for posed smiles; whereas caution should be taken when using the chin area as a reference surface for matching natural smile facial images.

    Abstract Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) is a telomere maintenance mechanism mediated by break-induced replication (BIR), evident in approximately 15% of human cancers. A characteristic feature of ALT cancers is the presence of C-circles, circular single-stranded telomeric DNAs composed of C-rich sequences. Despite the fact that extrachromosomal C-rich single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs), unique to ALT cells, are considered potential precursors of C-circles, their generation process remains undefined. Here, we introduce a highly sensitive method to detect single stranded telomeric DNA, called 4SET (Strand-Specific Southern-blot for Single-stranded Extrachromosomal Telomeres) assay. Utilizing 4SET, we are able to capture C-rich single stranded DNAs that are near 200 to 1500 nucleotides in size. Both linear C-rich ssDNAs and C-circles are abundant in the fractions of cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, which supports the idea that linear C-rich ssDNA accumulation may indeed precede C-circle formation. We also found that C-rich ssDNAs originate during Okazaki fragment processing during lagging strand DNA synthesis. The generation of C-rich ssDNA requires CST-PP (CTC1/STN1/TEN1-PRIMASE-Polymerase alpha) complex-mediated priming of the C-strand DNA synthesis and subsequent excessive strand displacement of the C-rich strand mediated by the DNA Polymerase delta and the BLM helicase.

    Abstract Recent studies have proven that DNNs, unlike human vision, tend to exploit texture information rather than shape. Such texture bias is one of the factors for the poor generalization performance of DNNs. We observe that the texture bias negatively affects not only in-domain generalization but also out-of-distribution generalization, i.e., Domain Generalization. Motivated by the observation, we propose a new framework to reduce the texture bias of a model by a novel optimization-based data augmentation, dubbed Stylized Dream. Our framework utilizes adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) to augment the style of an original image yet preserve the content. We then adopt a regularization loss to predict consistent outputs between Stylized Dream and original images, which encourages the model to learn shape-based representations. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in out-of-distribution settings on public benchmark datasets: PACS, VLCS, OfficeHome, TerraIncognita, and DomainNet.

    Abstract We present a learning framework for reconstructing neural scene representations from a small number of unconstrained tourist photos. Since each image contains transient occluders, decomposing the static and transient components is necessary to construct radiance fields with such in-the-wild photographs where existing methods require a lot of training data. We introduce SF-NeRF, aiming to disentangle those two components with only a few images given, which exploits semantic information without any supervision. The proposed method contains an occlusion filtering module that predicts the transient color and its opacity for each pixel, which enables the NeRF model to solely learn the static scene representation. This filtering module learns the transient phenomena guided by pixel-wise semantic features obtained by a trainable image encoder that can be trained across multiple scenes to learn the prior of transient objects. Furthermore, we present two techniques to prevent ambiguous decomposition and noisy results of the filtering module. We demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art novel view synthesis methods on Phototourism dataset in a few-shot setting.

    Abstract This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal economic well-being and children's mental health outcomes in adulthood and to consider the moderating effect of race/ethnicity. This study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 for Children and Young Adults. The two datasets were merged, and 4224 pairs were selected for the final sample. Ordinary linear regression and logistic regression analyses were used. Poverty and lower net worth among mothers were positively associated with their children's depression in young adulthood. Race/ethnicity moderated the relationship between maternal poverty and children's depression. Therefore, women's economic resources may be an important factor in the development of mental health issues among their children in young adulthood. Developing anti-poverty policies that target women may assist in reducing depressive symptoms in their children once they reach young adulthood, specifically for non-Hispanic White children.

    Abstract As women's labor participation has increased, the fertility rate has decreased. However, there is little research addressing economic well-being among females and the effect of females' economic well-being on the fertility rate. Through this study, we examines the effects of females' economic well-being on fertility and differences in the association across ethnicity/race. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 was used. 3734 females were selected for the final sample. The sample consists of 1834 non-Hispanic Whites, 1175 African Americans, and 725 Hispanics. Ordinary Linear Regression Analyses and Logistic Regression Analyses were conducted. There were ethnic/racial disparities in economic well-being amongst females. Poverty was positively associated with both having more children and higher numbers of miscarriages/stillbirths. Interaction effects were found: African Americans and Hispanics moderated the association between poverty and number of children. This research contributes to further understanding ethnic/racial disparities between females' economic well-being and fertility.
