Responding to the epidemic of the dying art of conversation (Asha, 2014; Barnwell, 2014 April), this activity constructs a space in which students tap into social lubricants as a conversational, artistic tool to increase conversational skills. Inspired by Monahan & Lannutti’s (2000) social lubricant work, this study views social lubricants— any object or action that facilitates social interaction, such as a dog or a compliment— as a vital resource that merits pedagogical attention. After completing a role-play in which students tap into a social lubricant to achieve an assigned goal, students will be able to: (a) define social lubricants; (b) describe the utility of social lubricants in social interaction; and (c) critically appraise ways in which using social lubricants can lessen communication apprehension.

Ndt Platform For Structures Management And Decision Support In Emergency Situations2019 •
The use of non-destructive techniques (NDT) for structural health monitoring (SHM) of civil infrastructures is crucial especially for those structures, like buildings and roads, that need efficient and reliable emergency management systems. For this reason, this study aims at designing and validating a new sensorbased NDT platform for SHM, emergency management, and decision support. Different structures of a thematic park have been monitored. The effects of different events (e.g., seismic) and failures (i.e., cracks) have been investigated using a wireless monitoring system consisting in several sensor units (properly placed), wirelessly linked to one controlling unit. The set-up of the software platform has been tuned using the data gathered through in-lab simulations and on-site experiments. Results show that the hardware and software platform paves the way to automatic detection of failures, to identify which infrastructures are still available around the monitored areas, and to ...

Hypothalamic KISS1 Expression, Gonadotrophin‐Releasing Hormone and Neurotransmitter Innervation Vary with Stress and Sensitivity in Macaques2014 •
The present study examined the effect of short‐term psychosocial and metabolic stress in a monkey model of stress‐induced amenorrhaea on the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal axis. KISS1 expression was determined by in situ hybridisation in the infundibular arcuate nucleus. Downstream of KISS1, gonadotrophin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) axons in lateral areas rostral to the infundibular recess, serum luteinising hormone (LH) and serum oestradiol were measured by immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay. Upstream of KISS1, norepinephrine axons in the rostral arcuate nucleus and serotonin axons in the anterior hypothalamus and periaqueductal grey were measured by immunohistochemistry. Female cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) characterised as highly stress resilient (HSR) or stress sensitive (SS) were examined. After characterisation of stress sensitivity, monkeys were either not stressed, or mildly stressed for 5 days before euthanasia in the early follicular phase. Stress consisted...
