Research Interests
We are primarily interested in developing statistical methods and analytical tools to decode genomic data and dissect field performances. As both genomic and phenotypic data get BIG, it became one of our interests to achieve a High Performance Computation (HPC) through both software and hardware innovation. With the same scale of data, we are always interested in pursuing the highest statistical power and prediction accuracy.
To face the changing environments, we are fully considering the benefits and challenge of exploring the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. One of our efforts is to plant the same germplasm across multiple countries through international collaborations (e.g. USA and China).
We like to see the differences that our methods and tools bring to our community. We also like to see that happens among ourselves. We enhance our research with live experiences across multiple species, including maize, rice, soybean, humans, dog and chicken.

In cigarette smokers, the most commonly-reported areas of brain activation during visual cigarette cue exposure are: the prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and visual cortices. We sought to determine changes in brain activity in response to cigarette cues when smokers actively resist craving.
Forty-two tobacco dependent smokers underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging, during which they were presented with videotaped cues. Three cue presentation conditions were tested: cigarette cues with subjects allowing themselves to crave (cigarette cue crave), cigarette cues with the instruction to resist craving (cigarette cue resist), and matched neutral cues.
Activation was found in the cigarette cue resist (compared to the cigarette cue crave) condition in the left dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and precuneus. Lower MR signal for the cigarette cue resist condition was found in the cuneus bilaterally, left lateral occipital gyrus, and right post-central gyrus. These relative activations and deactivations were more robust when the cigarette cue resist condition was compared to the neutral cue condition.
Suppressing craving during cigarette cue exposure involves activation of limbic (and related) brain regions and deactivation of primary sensory and motor cortices.
Cigarette craving is associated with relapse in smokers attempting to maintain abstinence (Killen and Fortmann 1997; Niaura et al 1989; Swan et al 1996; Catley et al 2000). In tobacco-dependent smokers, craving increases naturally over the minutes and hours following the last cigarette (Schuh and Stitzer 1995; Jarvik et al 2000), and can be elicited readily in the laboratory using cigarette-related cues (Carter and Tiffany 1999; Due et al 2002; Brody et al 2002; McClernon et al 2005). The neurobiology of both craving (Nestler 2002; Weiss 2005) and the ability to resist craving (Modell and Mountz 1992; Stormark et al 1995) are growing areas of interest, because medications that inhibit craving or enhance the ability to resist craving may prove useful for the treatment of tobacco dependence (a condition with a relatively low long-term treatment response rate (Fiore et al 2000; Jorenby et al 1999)).
Several research groups have examined regional brain activation associated with presentation of cigarette-related cues, and correlations between brain activity and cigarette craving. The most commonly-reported areas of activation during presentation of visual cigarette-related (compared to neutral) cues are: the medial (Lee et al 2005; McClernon et al 2005) and lateral (Due et al 2002; Lee et al 2005) frontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) (Lee et al 2005; Smolka et al 2005; Wilson et al 2005; Due et al 2002; Brody et al 2002; McClernon et al 2005), precuneus (Lee et al 2005), cuneus (Smolka et al 2005; Wilson et al 2005), and occipital cortex (Wilson et al 2005; Lee et al 2005). The most commonly-reported regions found to have positive correlations between activity and cigarette craving are: the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) (McClernon et al 2005; Brody et al 2002) and ACC (McClernon et al 2005; Zubieta et al 2005). Recently, researchers have begun to use cues and functional brain imaging to examine situations that mimic more complex real life smoking situations (e.g., (Wilson et al 2005)).
In addition to functional imaging studies of cue-induced craving, studies of cognitive reappraisal and cognitive modulation of emotion provide insight into brain mechanisms of resisting the urge to smoke, since these functions may be elicited during exposure to cues with craving resistance. Prior research has demonstrated both activation of the dorsal ACC (Kalisch et al 2006; Ray et al 2005; Ochsner et al 2004; Phillips et al 2003), PFC (Ray et al 2005; Pessoa et al 2002) and other brain regions associated with emotion (Ray et al 2005; Ochsner et al 2004; Pessoa et al 2002) and deactivation of the visual system (Pessoa et al 2002) during active reappraisal and modulation of emotional responses to cues. Mental effort has also been linked to activation of the dorsal ACC (Paus et al 1998). Based on these studies and the imaging studies cited above, we hypothesized that the dorsal ACC, PFC, and related regions would be activated and that the visual system would be deactivated when smokers resist craving during cigarette-related cue exposure.
In the present study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain function in smokers facing a situation that they commonly encounter, especially if they are trying to quit smoking, namely resisting the urge to smoke while being exposed to cigarette-related cues.
Forty-two otherwise healthy smokers (> 15 cigarettes/day), who met DSM-IV criteria for Nicotine Dependence, were recruited through local newspaper and internet advertisements. Subjects underwent telephone and in-person screening. For the telephone screening, medical, psychiatric, and substance abuse histories were obtained without personal identifiers. In-person screening was performed by a primary study investigator (A.L.B. or R.E.O.), and included screening questions from the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) (First et al 1995), and administration of the Smoker's Profile, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) (Fagerström 1978; Heatherton et al 1991), Urge to Smoke (UTS) Scale (Jarvik et al 2000; Brody et al 2002), and Hamilton Depression (HAM-D) (Hamilton 1967) and Anxiety (HAM-A) (Hamilton 1969) rating scales. Exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) levels were measured at the time of initial screening to verify recent smoking (an exhaled CO of > 8 ppm) using a MicroSmokerlyzer (Bedfont Scientific Ltd, Kent, UK). Smokers in this study were treatment-seeking, and received standardized treatment following this fMRI protocol with practical group counseling, bupropion HCl, or placebo.
Exclusion criteria included: (1) history of any Axis I psychiatric diagnosis other than Nicotine Dependence as determined by screening questions from the SCID, (2) medical conditions that might affect brain function, (3) current use of medications that could alter brain function, and (4) pregnancy (because of the medication trial following this fMRI study). Subjects with recreational alcohol (≤ 1 drink per day), drug (< one use per week), or caffeine (≤ two cups of coffee per day or the equivalent) use not meeting criteria for abuse/dependence were allowed to participate, but were instructed to abstain for 24 h prior to scanning (72 h for marijuana, verified by urine toxicology screen, if subjects reported illicit drug use within the past year).
Within one week of the in-person screening, subjects underwent fMRI scanning. They were instructed to smoke their usual morning cigarette(s) prior to testing which began at 7AM. At that time, subjects were interviewed to ensure that they had smoked that morning, and smoking was verified with an exhaled CO measurement in the same manner as described above. Scanning began at 7:15AM and the data of interest were obtained about 10 min later, so that these tobacco-dependent participants would be abstinent for 25 mins, and would be expected to have some craving (Schuh and Stitzer 1995), but would still be responsive to cigarette-related cues.
Functional scanning was performed with a 1.5 T Magnetom Sonata scanner (Siemens AG, Erlangen, Germany) with echo–planar imaging capability, using a gradient echo, echo–planar acquisition sequence in which the repetition time was 2.5 sec, echo time was 45 msec, flip angle was 80 degrees, matrix image was 128 by 64, field of view was 40 by 20 cm, and in-plane resolution was 3 mm. Sixteen slices, each 4 mm thick, with a 1-mm gap between slices were obtained every 2.5 sec for 45 sec while the subjects were exposed to each cigarette-related and neutral cue, and during control (resting state with a blank screen) periods. High-resolution spin–echo echo-planar scans (128 by 256 matrix; in-plane resolution, 1.5 mm; repetition time, 4000 msec; echo time, 54 msec; four excitations), acquired in the same plane as the functional scans, were acquired with bandwidth matched to that of the functional studies. The spatial distortions of the functional and high resolution spin echo EPI scans were held in common in order to facilitate the subsequent spatial normalization procedure.
Videotaped cues were developed based on work by our group (Brody et al 2002; Conklin and Tiffany 2001) and others. Twenty-seven video cues with different scenarios (eighteen cigarette and nine neutral) were used for this study. These cues were filmed from the first person point of view and were 45 sec in length. They were intended to present generic situations and were filmed with a professional actor and actress. Cigarette cue videos presented smoking in a variety of situations (e.g., writing a letter, standing outside of a building, driving), with the first 10 to 15 sec of each video being preparation to smoke (taking out a cigarette and lighter and preparing to light the cigarette) and the remainder of the video being actual cigarette smoking (with the burn of the cigarette upon being lit and exhaled cigarette smoke being visible). Neutral cue videos were filmed in similar settings, but did not include smoking or cigarette paraphernalia.
For presentation of videos, MRI-compatible goggles were fitted to the subject's head, using a headphone/microphone headset (MRVision 2000 Ultra, Resonance Technology, Northridge, CA). These goggles provide a 1024x768 digital image with a 30 degree field of view. The headphones provided stereo sound with noise cancellation and 30 db attenuation while the microphone utilized active noise cancellation. Each participant was positioned on the scanner bed and his/her head fixed in place using adjustable tabs in the coil to minimize movement.
Prior to scanning, participants were shown how to provide ratings of their craving using an optically-isolated USB interface, which consisted of a five-button (1=low to 5=high) response box (Rowland Institute at Harvard, Cambridge, MA). Subjects provided ratings of their craving immediately following each cue presentation. Cabling for the response box and videos was passed though an RF and magnetically shielded panel (MRA Inc., Washington, PA) into a control room where Pentium notebook computers were used to play the video cues and record button presses.
Prior to fMRI scanning, subjects were instructed to allow themselves to crave cigarettes during the cue exposure unless instructed to resist such craving. During scanning, subjects were presented with three runs of three cue videos each (three conditions). Each run consisted of two cigarette cue videos and one neutral cue video. For the pair of videotaped cigarette cues, subjects were either given no instructions and allowed themselves to crave (cigarette cue crave) or were instructed to resist craving (cigarette cue resist). The resist instruction was stated as "during the next video clip, try to resist any feelings of craving for cigarettes." The brief instruction to resist craving was intended to mimic real life situations in which a smoker sees cigarette cues and attempts to resist craving. For the neutral cue videos, subjects were given no instruction. The order of cue conditions was a randomized Latin square design, so that each condition (cigarette cue crave, cigarette cue resist, and neutral cue) appeared in a balanced serial order, with six separate orders of cue presentation. Subjects underwent a brief semi-structured interview after the fMRI scan, and were asked (1) if the cigarette cues induced craving and (2) what strategy they employed to resist craving.
For the MRI scans, brain extraction was performed manually using MEDx 3.3 (Sensor Systems Inc., Sterling, VA) by removing structures outside of the brain. These extractions were then used to form an "average brain" template that was used later for co-registration (Woods et al 1999).
FMRI analysis was performed using the functional magnetic imaging of the brain (FMRIB) Software Library ([FSL]; www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl) (Smith et al 2004). Because this was a multi-session (multiple repetitions of stimuli presentation during a single fMRI session) multi-subject experiment, we used three levels of analysis hierarchically within the FEAT (FMRI Expert Analysis Tool, version 5.1) part of FMRIB, with the first level analyzing the data from each session (each series of cue presentations) within each subject, the second analyzing across sessions within each subject, and the third analyzing across the group of subjects.
First-level analysis used three primary explanatory variables (cigarette cue crave, cigarette cue resist, and neutral cue conditions). MR signal from the time spent on instructions and craving ratings was excluded from study analyses. Six contrasts were tested: cigarette cue crave minus neutral cue, neutral cue minus cigarette cue crave, cigarette cue resist minus neutral cue, neutral cue minus cigarette cue resist, cigarette cue crave minus cigarette cue resist, and cigarette cue resist minus cigarette cue crave. Prior to cluster analysis, the voxels were threshholded at Z > 2.3, with final cluster thresholding performed at p = 0.01. This cluster thresholding provides correction for multiple comparisons (Forman et al 1995).
Second and third level analyses were performed using FEAT's FLAME (FMRIB's Local Analysis of Mixed Effects) tool in order to estimate the inter-session and inter-subject random-effects component of the mixed effects variance, with the third level analysis carried out six times (once for each contrast), using the same statistical thresholds as for the first level analysis. These statistical thresholds are similar or identical to those of other published activation studies using FSL (Smith et al 2002; Parry et al 2003; Gobel et al 2004; Osterbauer et al 2005; Iannetti et al 2005).
Correlation analysis also was performed to examine the relationship between self-reported craving ratings and brain activity across the three conditions. First-level analysis was done using each session's scan as input data. Two explanatory variables were used, with the first one consisting of the rating scale data, and the second consisting of mean data (showing no variability for craving scores). A double-gamma HRF convolution and temporal filtering were used for both explanatory variables. Two contrasts were performed (rating scale minus mean data, and mean minus rating scale), with a Z threshold of 2.3 and a cluster threshold of p = 0.01. Higher level analyses were then performed in the same manner as described above.
Participants were adults (mean age 38.0 years ± standard deviation 12.4 years; 12 females, 30 males), who smoked an average of 23.3 (± 8.2) cigarettes per day and had a mean 24.1 (± 24.5) pack-year smoking history. FTND scores were moderately high (5.7 ± 1.7), and HAM-D and HAM-A scores were low (1.9 ± 2.4 and 2.3 ± 2.7, respectively). Exhaled CO levels were 21.1 ± 10.6 parts per million (ppm) at the time of screening and 15.2 ± 7.6 ppm at the time of scanning, consistent with the study protocol.
Subjects rated their craving as mild to moderate (2.4 ± 1.3, on the 1 to 5 scale) during the neutral condition, and significantly higher during the cigarette cue crave (2.9 ± 1.4) and cigarette cue resist (3.0 ± 1.3) conditions (paired Student's t-tests, p < .0001 for both contrasts). Differences in craving severity between the cigarette cue crave and cigarette cue resist conditions were not significant (paired Student's t-tests, p = .45). In the semi-structured interview following the scans, seven subjects reported that the videos did not affect their craving levels, while the remaining subjects reported mild to moderate changes in craving in response to the cigarette-related cues. In describing strategies used to resist craving, 74% of subjects reported that they tried to distract themselves with thoughts unrelated to smoking or to ignore thoughts about smoking. The remaining 26% were unable to verbalize the strategy that they used. Eight subjects spontaneously reported that the distraction strategy was similar to the one they used when trying to resist the urge to smoke in natural settings.
In comparing the cigarette cue crave with neutral cue exposure, higher MR signal was found during the cigarette cue crave condition in secondary visual processing centers on the left (cuneus, lingual gyrus, and lateral occipital gyrus), the supramarginal gyrus bilaterally (extending to the lateral occipital gyrus on the right) and left angular gyrus (Table 1 and Fig. 1). There were no voxels with significantly lower MR signal for the cigarette cue crave (compared to the neutral) condition.
For the comparison of the cigarette cue resist with the neutral cue exposure, higher MR signal was found in the cigarette cue resist condition in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) extending to the precuneus and retrosplenial area bilaterally, medial aspect of the superior frontal gyrus and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) spanning the midline, left angular gyrus, and supramarginal gyri bilaterally (Table 2 and Fig. 2). Lower MR signal was found in the cigarette cue resist condition in the cuneus and post-central gyri bilaterally and right pre-central gyrus.
In directly contrasting the cigarette cue resist with the cigarette cue crave condition, higher MR signal was found in the cigarette cue resist condition in the left ACC, medial superior frontal gyrus, precuneus, and PCC (Table 3 and Fig. 3). Lower MR signal for the cigarette cue resist condition was found in the cuneus and lateral occipital gyri bilaterally, left middle temporal gyrus, and right post-central gyrus. Analysis of the subgroup of subjects that used distraction as a strategy to resist cue-induced craving revealed almost identical areas of activation and deactivation to the overall group, except that the size of the lower MR signal in the cuneus was considerably larger (5031 voxels).
Examination of associations between Urge to Smoke Scale ratings and MR signal revealed positive correlations for the medial aspect of the superior frontal gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, precuneus, inferior frontal gyrus/anterior insula, and corpus callosum bilaterally, along with the left pre-central gyrus, putamen, and middle frontal gyrus and right lingual gyrus extending to the fusiform gyrus. Negative correlations were found for the cuneus bilaterally; left occipital gyrus, anterior temporal lobe, post-central gyrus, and insula; and right angular gyrus (Table 4 and Fig. 4).
Treatment seeking cigarette smokers have heightened craving when exposed to cigarette-related cues in a laboratory setting, regardless of whether or not they attempt to resist the urge to smoke. The extent of this heightened craving was consistent with prior functional brain imaging research demonstrating cigarette cue-induced craving (Brody et al 2002; McBride et al 2006; Wilson et al 2005). However, patterns of regional brain activation (and deactivation) were clearly different depending on whether or not subjects attempted to resist craving.
Consistent with prior research (Smolka et al 2005; Wilson et al 2005; Lee et al 2005), exposure to visual cigarette cues when subjects allowed themselves to crave (compared with the neutral cue condition) activated primary (left lateral occipital gyrus) and secondary (left cuneus, precuneus, and lingual and angular gyri, and bilateral supramarginal gyri) visual processing centers that also are activated during heightened visual attention (Makino et al 2004; Servos et al 2002; Roland and Gulyas 1995) and recognition of familiar objects (Sugiura et al 2005) and memories (Yonelinas et al 2005). The retrosplenial cortex also showed activation in this analysis, possibly related to its role in memory formation (Ranganath et al 2005), (including recall of autobiographical (Steinvorth et al 2005) and emotionally salient events (Maddock 1999)). While these results do overlap with regions found to activate in previous studies, we did not find activation in the prefrontal cortex or ACC, as has been reported previously when comparing cigarette-related with neutral cue states, possibly because subjects in this study may have experienced greater arousal when asked to resist craving with corresponding lower levels of arousal when not asked to resist.
For the cigarette cue resist compared to the neutral cue condition, activation was also found in secondary visual processing centers (bilateral precuneus, left angular gyrus, and bilateral supramarginal gyri) and retrosplenial cortex (bilaterally), but these clusters were larger than those found in the preceding analysis. This analysis also revealed activation of the dorsal ACC (a region associated with response conflict (Liu et al 2004), decision-making (Paulus et al 2005; Rushworth et al 2004; Turk et al 2004), regulation of anxiety-related behavior (Kalin et al 2005), and planning (Lazeron et al 2000)) and the PCC (a region associated with responses to anxiety-provoking video (Fredrikson et al 1997), and recognition of words in an emotionally negative context (Maratos et al 2001)). Deactivations were found with resisting craving in the sensorimotor cortices (bilateral post-central and right pre-central gyri) and cuneus bilaterally.
For the central analysis of this study comparing responses to the cigarette cues with versus without resisting cigarette craving, greater MR signal was found with resisting craving in regions involved in decision-making/planning (left dorsal and perigenual ACC) and attentional motivation (left PCC), along with a secondary visual processing center (left precuneus). Lower MR signal was found in a visual processing center (left cuneus) and in motor cortex (right post-central gyrus). The dorsal ACC activation and visual cortical deactivation found here are consistent with examinations of brain function during cognitive reappraisal and cognitive modulation of emotion (Pessoa et al 2002; Ochsner et al 2004; Ray et al 2005; Kalisch et al 2006). Engagement of the ACC, which is implicated in conflict avoidance and attentional control (Barch et al 2001; Braver et al 2001; Liu et al 2004), may reflect the active direction of attention away from the hypersalient smoking stimuli as an effortful process that is contrary to automatic patterns of attention. Taken together, these findings suggest that actively suppressing the urge to smoke involves a redistribution of resources from sensory and motor areas to limbic (and related) brain areas.
While results here are in agreement with prior work, two aspects of the central study comparison were surprising, namely that subjects reported slightly (and non-significantly) more craving and that brain activation (particularly in the ACC and PCC) was greater when subjects were actively trying to resist the urge to smoke than when they allowed themselves to crave. These findings may be partly accounted for by the "white bear" effect, where subjects paradoxically think more strongly about a topic that they are instructed to suppress (Wegner et al 1987; Enticott and Gold 2002). While control instructions, such as asking subjects to actively try to crave during the cigarette cue crave presentation or to resist craving during the neutral cue presentation, would control for the intention aspects of the results, the present study sought to simulate real-life situations. And indeed, subjects did report that study conditions mimicked naturally-occurring situations.
Craving levels positively correlated with MR signal in the same decision-making (dorsal ACC), attentional processing (PCC), sensorimotor (left pre-central gyrus) and secondary visual processing (precuneus, right lingual and fusiform gyri, and bilateral supramarginal gyri) regions as in the preceding analyses, as well as regions that mediate (Kimbrell et al 1999; Goldin et al 2005; Kuchinke et al 2005) and interpret (Menon et al 2000; Kesler-West et al 2001; Drexler et al 2000) emotional stimuli (anterior insula and inferior frontal gyri bilaterally) and a region associated with sustained attention and episodic memory (left middle frontal gyrus (Cabeza and Nyberg 2000)). Negative correlations were found in visual and auditory processing centers, as well as left motor cortex.
One limitation of this study was the absence of a non-smoking control group exposed to the same cues as the smokers studied here. However, in our prior work (Brody et al 2002), non-smokers demonstrated neither cigarette craving nor changes in mood/anxiety associated with presentation of cigarette-related cues. Also, since the primary analysis here was the examination of cigarette cue exposure with and without resisting craving, the use of non-smoking control subjects would not be expected to help in the central interpretation of this study. The main strengths of this report include a relatively large sample size for a study of this type, the control of cue presentation through specialized MR-compatible equipment, and the fact that cues (e.g.- video of chore performance with or without smoking) and states (allowing oneself to crave versus resisting craving while watching similar cues) were matched closely.
In conclusion, we report significant differences in brain function when treatment-seeking smokers are exposed to cigarette-related cues and are actively resisting craving versus allowing themselves to crave. During craving resistance, activation was found in brain regions involved in decision-making, regulation of anxiety-related behaviors, and heightened attention, while deactivation was found in primary visual and motor cortices. Similar activations and deactivations were found when comparing the cigarette cue resistance to the neutral cue condition. Additionally, exposure to cigarette cues without craving resistance was found to activate visual processing centers when compared with neutral cue exposure. These results identify regions that may mediate the effects of existing Tobacco Dependence treatments and that may be targets for medication development. For example, enhanced catecholiminergic (Passerin et al 2000; Schweimer et al 2005), acetylcholinergic (Jacobsen et al 2004; Gozzi et al 2006; Choi et al 2006), and cannabinoid (Mathew et al 1997; Mathew et al 1999; O'Leary et al 2002) neurotransmission activate the ACC, including activation during effortful decision-making (Schweimer et al 2005), while enhanced GABA (Passerin et al 2000; Mintzer et al 2001) neurotransmission diminishes ACC activation. Currently available medications for Tobacco Dependence, such as the catecholamine reuptake blocker bupropion HCl (Ascher et al 1995; Horst and Preskorn 1998) and nicotine replacement (acetylcholine agonist) therapy may exert their therapeutic effects at least partly through enhancement of ACC activation with concomitant improvement in the ability to resist craving, while medications that alter cannabinoid and GABAergic neurotransmission are currently under investigation as potential treatments for Tobacco Dependence. Thus, the present study may help elucidate the brain mediation of existing Tobacco Dependence treatments and suggests potential neurotransmitter system targets for medication development.

All students are expected to acquire a copy of
The mid-semester test will take place during week 6 (reading week), at 15.00 on Thursday 02 November 2017, in University Place Theatre B: any student who has special arrangements for taking tests and examinations should attend at the location specified by the Teaching and Learning office. This is a University examination, and can only be missed under the most exceptional personal circumstances.
The format of the test will be described here by Monday 02 October 2017.
Here are solutions to the 2016 test, and my feedback to students on how it went.
Problems for work in Feedback Classes are listed below. Answers (including partial attempts!) should be submitted for marking. Handing-in procedures and weekly deadlines should be negotiated directly with supervisors, who may (or may not) wish to focus on starred questions. Throughout this initial semester, marks are awarded for effort, rather than accuracy.
Students are responsible for ensuring that they are properly prepared by downloading these pages well in advance of the relevant week. The time and place of each supervision class (with name of supervisor) will be posted on the 1st year notice board at the start of the semester.
Solutions will be uploaded within 2 weeks of problems becoming live. Please note that week 6 is reading week.
The format of the January 2018 examination will be the same as that of January 2017; students will be expected to attempt 5/5 questions (worth 5 marks each) in Part A, and 5/5 (worth 10 marks each) in Part B. This differs from the format used between 2008 and 2016. Nevertheless, the style and content of the questions will be similar to those of all previous years, which may therefore still be used for revision.
Here is a sample paper, together with solutions and marking scheme, which is a reformatted version of the January 2016 examination.
Here are my questions from the 2017 examination, together with the solutions and marking scheme. Current students should study my feedback to those who took this paper.
Here is my feedback in response to the 2016/7 course questionnaires. You will, of course, get your own chance to influence next year's events!

San Joaquin Valley
Salary: Competitive
CALSTART will be hiring a very capable person, with strong leadership skills, to open and lead the San Joaquin Valley Clean Transportation Center (SJVCTC). This person will be responsible for accelerating the rapid deployment and use of clean and low carbon fuels, cars, trucks, buses, and non-road equipment in the valley.
This is a growth opportunity, with significant potential to build programs and expand CALSTART's office and presence in the San Joaquin Valley. CALSTART is the leading organization in California dedicated to improving air quality and protecting the environment by working to accelerate the growth of the clean transportation technology industry. CALSTART has a 22-year track record of successfully working with industry and government to deploy leading edge clean vehicles. With funding from a California Energy Commission (CEC) grant, the Director of the SJVCTC will be focused on the following five areas: zero
emission passenger cars; zero or near zero emission buses; clean and low carbon trucks; high efficiency non-road equipment; and low carbon fuel production. A prototype example of what CALSTART wants to do in the San Joaquin Valley already exists. In 2012 CALSTART secured a grant from the CEC that allowed the San Joaquin Regional Transit District (SJRTD) to buy the first two zero emission buses placed into revenue service in the valley. In early 2015, CALSTART
partnered with the SJRTD to win federal funding for five more electric buses. In part due to these programs, the manufacturer of those buses is now establishing a manufacturing facility in California. This is the type of success that the Director
of the SJVCTC will have the opportunity to expand.
Duties and Responsibilities
While CALSTART has been operating for 22 years, this new program is a start-up. The Director will be in charge of launching and growing the SJVCTC. The Director will serve as the primary interface between the stakeholders and needs of the Valley and the capabilities of the CALSTART team and its 150+ member
companies. The Director will need to take the lead in identifying and building teams, and securing federal, state, and regional funding to expand the use of clean and low carbon vehicles in the Valley. Creating new programs and growing the team in
the SJV will be the responsibility of the Director. The Director will need to build and help manage at least two key advisory groups consisting of leaders from industry, government, and the non-profit sector in the Valley. One Advisory Committee will be chaired by an executive from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The second Advisory Committee will be focused on transit properties in the Valley, and will be chaired by the General Manager of the SJRTD. In addition to building teams and winning proposals that will have concrete
results in terms of deploying cleaner vehicles and fuels, the Director will need to become familiar with the Governor's GoBiz office and look for opportunities to grow the industry and encourage economic development in the San Joaquin
Necessary Skills and Experience
The following are considered necessary knowledge, skills and attributes for the SJVCTC Director position: strong communication and writing skills; personal confidence; the ability to make presentations and be understood and respected;
be passionate about the CALSTART mission; the ability to listen and learn; the ability to lead and organize; the tenacity to get done what must get done; and a 24/7 insistence on doing things right.
The ideal candidate will have lived in the San Joaquin Valley and be aware of or know many of the key stakeholders. This candidate would also be knowledgeable about the clean transportation technology industry and either know or be able to
quickly learn about different technologies.
The ideal candidate should be comfortable communicating with a truck driver, an elected official, a senior government executive, a farmer, a fleet manager and an engineer. The ideal candidate will see a problem as an opportunity.
The candidate should possess at least an undergraduate degree, preferably though not necessarily one with a technical emphasis. It would be very helpful if the candidate already was familiar with the broad array of California clean transportation and climate policies, funding sources, rules, and regulations. Familiarity with government contracting and strong program management skills would also be significant pluses.
Compensation and Benefits
CALSTART offers a strong compensation package. In addition to competitive salary, CALSTART provides its employees with a full HMO health plan (with no monthly employee contribution) including dental and vision care.

Brendan Fraser pleaded to a Connecticut court to reduce his nearly one million dollar a year alimony and child support payments to ex-wife Afton Smith because he can no longer afford them. Despite being one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, and having numerous films in the pipeline, Brendan says he is no longer earning enough to cover the support costs, and even cites medical records as to why he cannot find work.

The UC Davis student senate has made it optional to display the American flag at its meetings, stirring up controversy on campus and conservative blogs.
Senate Bill 76 passed Thursday, said Michael Gofman, a student senator who opposed the change.
The bill amends bylaws that required the United States flag to be on display at every senate meeting of the Associated Students, University of California, Davis. The revised bylaws give senate members the option to petition for the display of the flag 24 hours before each meeting. The ASUCD senate pro tem ultimately has authority to decide whether the U.S. flag will be displayed, according to the revision.
The resolution says that since "the concept of United States of America and patriotism is different for every individual, it should not be compulsory that the flag is in view at all times during Senate meetings."

As indie rock group Little Dragon [1]'s latest road stint supporting 2011 album "Ritual Union" winds down, the group is planning to mix in a few inspired collaborations while conceptualizing their next album.
Aside from working with Big Boi on a track that may appear on the rapper's forthcoming solo album, Little Dragon might be collaborating with a hip-hop veterans De La Soul. "Other than that, we don't really seek out full collaborations. We still feel like we're collaborating with each other," drummer Erik Bodin told Billboard while he and singer Yukini Nagano hung out at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on Friday (June 8).
Little Dragon just toured South America for the first time, and Nagano says that the band is "gonna keep playing festivals in the summer, and this fall coming, we're just gonna only write -- no shows -- so we're really looking forward to that." The group typically writes while at home in Sweden, and will do so again for their fourth studio album this fall. "We haven't figured it out yet really, how to let it not be such a time-consuming thing to set up a mobile studio," adds Bodin. "Plus, I think it's good to fill up your reservoir of music and emotions when you're traveling."
Little Dragon's Friday performance at Bonnaroo was among the 10 best sets Billboard.com scoped out at this year's festival. Check out the full list [3] of the best of Bonnaroo 2012.

Business owners find inspiration from nurturing retreat
A debut retreat provided a boost for some of New Zealand's most innovative business owners, reports Tao Lin.
Businessman Dave Lewis says he has been given a rocket boost after attending the first ever Nurture Change business retreat.
The founder of rubbish collection company Junk2go won a place on the trip through the Sunday Star Times and joined other business owners, managers and leaders in the five-day learning and recharge event.
Organised by Sunday Star Times columnist and international business coach of the year Zac de Silva and lifestyle entrepreneur Steve Pirie, the Nurture Change retreat featured business coaching, networking and wellness sessions set on the pristine shores of Fiji's Natadola Bay.
Lewis says he learnt something from every speaker and getting to engage with them outside of the seminar room was a highlight of the trip
"I learnt so much, I connected with amazing people. I'm re-energised, I'm like a rocket man ready to go."
Jo Williamson, who owns Howler Hotdogs in Christchurch, also won a trip through Sunday Star Times and says connecting with other business owners was invaluable.
"A lot of the value was in catching up with different people at breakfast, at morning tea time, at lunch and in the evenings and understanding their stories in a relaxed environment and the challenges they're facing in their business," she says.
"There's not a lot of opportunities for small business owners to connect in that way."
Williamson is taking matters into her own hands back home and is organising regular catch-ups with fellow Christchurch retreat attendees as a way to help keep everyone accountable for their progress.
The retreat encompassed four values - inspire, connect, learn and recharge - and the "inspire" aspect was well and truly met by Order of Australia medal holder Peter Cole, who spoke about setting up the Spirit of Sharing.
Cole started the organisation in 2000 when he was 17 to help improve many aspects of life for rural Fijians including sending sporting equipment to schools in need, building school dormitories and providing scholarships for students.
Paralympian and author Curtis Palmer, who was an avid rugby league player before experiencing a life-changing injury at 15 years old, also wowed the group with his story of perseverance, resilience and having a positive, problem-solving mindset.
Plenty of free time to soak up the sun, swim in the crystal-clear waters and sip cocktails took care of the recharge aspect, while connecting happened naturally and freely when you put a group of like-minded people together for five days.
With speakers like Xero managing director Victoria Crone, former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry and tech entrepreneur Dan Khan, the learning opportunities were endless and every speaker had something valuable to add.
Here are some key tips and learnings from the inaugural Nurture Change business retreat speakers:
Sir Graham Henry, former All Blacks coach: Connect with your team, develop individuals and empower them. Having a solutions-focused mentality is huge.
Victoria Crone, managing director of Xero: All sorts of opportunities come up if you're thinking innovatively, not being comfortable with the status quo and recognising issues. Innovation isn't just for the tech companies.
On mobile apps - "You need to be operating where your customers are. If you're not building now you're losing your competitive advantage."
On social media - Social media is not going away. It's harder to get "on the boat". Get in and play, even if you don't say very much. Learn and follow those you admire.
Craig Donaldson, chief executive of Kea: Never make a cold call. Make connections, build relationships and leverage them. Rich connections are made on the golf course and in coffee shops, not sitting in an office.
Karl Dwight, partner at PWC: When looking to sell your business, make sure you get your house in order. Put good information systems and procedures in place, formalise key customer and supplier relationships and arrangements, protect your intellectual property, ensure you have robust financial and business records, make sure board and management papers can withstand due diligence scrutiny.
Aaron Callaghan, high-performance coach: Eat real food (as opposed to processed and definitely no sugar), make time for sleep (seven to eight hours a night) and make time every day for recovery, whether that's practising deep diaphragmatic breathing or spending time in nature.
Dr Sam Hazledine, entrepreneur and author: one of the foundations to a success mindset is hunger. Ask, "What would excite me?" not "What can I achieve safely?"
Dan Khan, tech entrepreneur and start-up adviser: Don't set growth milestones. Set learning ones. What do we need to learn to get to the next stage?
On culture: culture exists whether you like it or not and it's the decisions you make that make the culture. The best start-ups don't let culture just happen to them - they turn it into a massive competitive advantage instead.
Zac de Silva: a lack of focus is the number one reason businesses are not performing at an A+ level. What's the one thing you can do to get to your greater goals?
On knowing what you're good at: why do clients choose you? How do you truly standout? What you think your company is good at may not be what it's actually good at.
A panel of four answered the question: what has been the best business advice given to you? These were their answers:
Lizzi Hines, managing director of Spaceworks: Surround yourself with the right people.
Karl Dwight: the importance of executing good ideas well.
Dr Sam Hazledine: If you can't sum up your business in one line you probably don't know what you're doing. Put staff before customers. Build a strategy that solves an existing problem.
Karen Silk, general manager commercial, corporate and institutional at Westpac: What's your unique value proposition? If you don't understand what it is, you won't have anything worth selling.

Abstract or Description
We present GFL-Web, a web-based interface for syntactic dependency annotation with the lightweight FUDG/GFL formalism. Syntactic attachments are specified in GFL notation and visualized as a graph. A one-day pilot of this work- flow with 26 annotators established that even novices were, with a bit of training, able to rapidly annotate the syntax of English Twitter messages.
