Factors Predicting Return to Play in Sports-Related Concussion: An Empirical Evaluation

Sports-related concussion and its subsequent management have become a top priority within the sports medicine research spectrum. In order to properly understand the complex nature of concussion management, multiple aspects of the injury were explored including the psychobiological nature of the injury, risk for further injury, diagnostic concerns, and return to play decision making. While much research has been dedicated to these areas, one in particular, return to play, is the focus of this current research study. To date, there has not been a method for accurately predicting return to play time after an athlete has sustained sports-related concussion. In order to advance the understanding of return to play and the clinical management of concussion, the current study applied a unique statistical methodology to empirically develop an equation to predict average return to play time using a set of post-injury variables. This equation predicted average return to play time with significant accuracy and resulted in a strong correlation between predicted return to play time and observed return to play time. Importantly, the predication equation was moderately stable across multiple samples. The results suggest that return to play time can be successfully predicted via a set of post-injury variables. Thus, the understanding of concussion severity as well as the clinical management of the injury can be

Demographics and Asset Markets: A Survey of the Literature

This paper surveys the theoretical and empirical literature examining the effects of population age structure on financial asset prices, including critical reviews of the methodologies used and an evaluation of contradictory results. The survey focuses on the effects of the Baby Boom generation on asset prices, and in particular, the question of the asset meltdown hypothesis (AMH). The existing literature reveals that an asset meltdown may never eventuate nevertheless it remains plausible that ageing of the Baby Boomers will have a significant negative impact on asset prices. The previous studies were based on where the proportion of the old age population is relatively low. With the first Baby Boomers reaching 65 years of age in 2011 this proportion is projected to increase substantially and hence the effect is reinforced. Thus new research is needed to address the unresolved issues given that population ageing has serious policy issues in the developed economies.
IMPACTS OF GAMMA RADIATION ON NUTRITIONAL COMPONENTS OF MINIMAL PROCESSED CULTURED SEA BASS (DICENTRARCHUS LABRAX)

Eviscerated sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax were irradiated by Cobalt-60 at commercial irradiation facility at dose of 2.5 and 5 kGy at 2–4°C. The influences of the irradiation on proximate, fatty acid and amino acid composition in cultured sea bass were investigated. Significant differences (P<0.0.5) were found between non-irradiated and irradiated sea bass in terms of moisture, protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate contents. Total saturated and total monounsaturated fatty acid contents were 27.97-24.72% for non-irradiated sea bass respectively. The amonts of these two fatty acids in irradiated samples increased to 28.1825. 75% for 2.5 kGy and 29.08-28.54% for 5 kGy. Total polyunsaturated fatty acid content for irradiated samples was higher than nonirradiated samples. Aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagines, histidine, serine, glycine, arginine, alanine, tyrosine, cystine, methionine, lysine, hydroxyproline and proline contents for 2.5 and 5 kGy irradiated sea bass were significantly different (P<0.05).
loud pattern and water relations in Picea rubens and Abies fraseri , southern ppalachian Mountains , USA

The spruce-fir [Picea rubens Sarg. -Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir. ] forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains are considered refugial, endangered communities that exist on only seven mountaintop areas in Virginia and North Carolina, USA. These relict forests continue to be threatened by stress factors such as logging, acid rain deposition, attacks from invasive insects, and climate change. It has been suggested that these communities have persisted because of frequent cloudiness and periods of cloud immersion (fog), although few studies have examined corresponding effects on microclimate and tree ecophysiology. Incident sunlight (PPFD), air temperature, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and xylem water potentials were measured throughout the summer growing season in Mount Mitchell State Park, NC (35◦45′53′′N, 82◦15′54′′W), along with continuous camera recordings of the forest canopy and accompanying cloud conditions. Approximately 60% of all summer days had at least 2 h of cloud immersion with the large majority (80.3%) of immersion events occurring during morning hours. Cloud-immersed days had the greatest reduction in cumulative daily PPFD compared to clear days (11.09 mol m−2 day−1 vs. 38.03 mol m−2 day−1, respectively), as well as substantially reduced mean VPD (0.98 kPa vs. 1.81 kPa) but only slightly lower mean air temperatures (14.5 ◦C vs. 14.9 ◦C, respectively). Moreover, xylem water potential ( ) increased significantly (∼0.2 MPa; values) from morning to afternoon on cloud-immersed days. In contrast, clear days showed no afternoon recovery in , but a continued decrease during the afternoon. Juvenile was more responsive to daily cloud regime compared to adult and had a strong negative correlation with vapor pressure deficit. When all measurement days were sorted by the cloud pattern of the previous day, there was a strong response in juveniles trees, i.e. increased following previous afternoon cloud-immersion. Juveniles of both species also had greater seasonal decreases in than adults (P. rubens, adult: 0.05 MPa, juvenile: 0.13 MPa; A. fraseri, adult: 0.06 MPa, juvenile: 0.20 Mpa). For climate change models that predict a higher cloud base (resulting in less immersion) and dryer conditions, the water relations of Abies fraseri and Picea rubens could be substantially and negatively influenced.
Manipulating Perspective in Stereoscopic Images

Stereoscopic (‘3D’) devices and content relying on stereopsis are now widely available. However, traditional image editing techniques cannot be directly used to edit stereoscopic media, as extra constraints are needed to ensure consistent changes are made to both left and right images. This paper addresses the problem of manipulating perspective in stereoscopic pairs. We note that a straightforward approach based on depth recovery is unsatisfactory. Instead, our method relies on feature correspondences between stereoscopic image pairs. Given a new, user-specified perspective, we determine correspondence constraints under this perspective, and optimize a 2D warp for each image which preserves straight lines, and guarantees proper stereopsis relative to the new camera. Experiments demonstrate that our method generates new views with suitable stereoscopic output which correspond well to expected projections, for a wide range of specified perspective. Various advanced camera effects, such as dolly zoom and wide angle effects, can also be readily generated for stereoscopic image pairs using our method.
Sensing Seasonality in the Arabian Sea: a coupled δ18O-Mg/Ca approach

Abstract. Millennial scale climate variability punctuates the record of Northern Hemisphere glacials in the form of Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles. The coldest episodes within these cycles have a marked impact on the location of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone and thereby the intensity and extent of the Asian monsoon system. Arabian Sea oceanography is closely linked to the monsoon cycle and responds rapidly to changes therein. Seasonally varying upwelling intensity, adhesive mixing and the resulting variability on sea surface temperature and salinity, however, make it challenging to precisely reconstruct the behaviour of the Indian monsoon system through the Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles. To reconstruct impact of millennial-scale changes in the monsoon on the Arabian Sea, paired single-specimen Mg/Ca and stable oxygen isotope analyses were performed on three species of planktonic foraminifera from the northern as well as the western Arabian Sea. Mismatches between Mg/Ca- and δ18O-derived temperatures reflect changes in salinity caused by regional variability in the hydrological cycle. Comparison of Mg/Ca-derived temperatures from Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerina bulloides and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei over Heinrich Event 4 and Interstadial 8 allows for reconstructing the seasonal range in temperatures (minima and maxima) and vertical stratification of the water column during these intervals. Results show that Arabian Sea surface water temperatures were lower during the North Atlantic Heinrich Event 4, and that temperatures in the northern and western Arabian Sea differed relatively much. This implies that the north east monsoon (i.e. boreal winter) was enhanced during this interval. In contrast, the summer upwelling related species G. bulloides reveals lower temperatures during Interstadial 8 in the western Arabian Sea, showing an enhanced summer monsoon during the warmers stages of millennial-scale climate variability. Together, these results show that summer and winter monsoon intensities were thus also anti-phased on a millennial scale. An intensified NE monsoon might have contributed to enhanced mixing of surface waters in the northern Arabian Sea.
Learning to Count Leaves in Rosette Plants

Counting the number of leaves in plants is important for plant phenotyping, since it can be used to assess plant growth stages. We propose a learning-based approach for counting leaves in rosette (model) plants. We relate image-based descriptors learned in an unsupervised fashion to leaf counts using a supervised regression model. To take advantage of the circular and coplanar arrangement of leaves and also to introduce scale and rotation invariance, we learn features in a log-polar representation. Image patches extracted in this log-polar domain are provided to K-means, which builds a codebook in a unsupervised manner. Feature codes are obtained by projecting patches on the codebook using the triangle encoding, introducing both sparsity and specifically designed representation. A global, per-plant image descriptor is obtained by pooling local features in specific regions of the image. Finally, we provide the global descriptors to a support vector regression framework to estimate the number of leaves in a plant. We evaluate our method on datasets of the \textit{Leaf Counting Challenge} (LCC), containing images of Arabidopsis and tobacco plants. Experimental results show that on average we reduce absolute counting error by 40% w.r. t. the winner of the 2014 edition of the challenge -a counting via segmentation method. When compared to state-of-the-art density-based approaches to counting, on Arabidopsis image data ~75% less counting errors are observed. Our findings suggest that it is possible to treat leaf counting as a regression problem, requiring as input only the total leaf count per training image.
Susceptibility of Tetranychus uticae Koch ( Acari : Tetranychidae ) on seven strawberry cultivars

ABSTRACT: The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch is one of the cosmopolitan pests, which attack many agricultural and greenhouse plants. The suitability of seven strawberry cultivars (Marak, Yalova, Aliso, Gaviota, Sequoia, Camarosa and Chandler) for the development, reproduction and preference of T. urticae were investigated. To antixenosis mechanisms of resistance, 400 adult mites were released in the center of seven cultivars. Mites were counted 24 and 48 hours after releasing. Sequoia and Marak could be defined as preferred and Gaviota was the least preferred by the spider mite. Antibiosis test was studied on leaflet of the same cultivars. Life table parameters of T. urticae was studied in the laboratory conditions (27±1 ̊C, 60±5% RH and 16L: 8D photoperiod). Data were analyzed based on the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. Proportion of mite surviving to adult ranged from 48% to 84%. Duration of protonymph and deutonymph stages reared on different cultivars showed a significant difference. Total longevity of mites reared on Chandler (10.58 days) were significantly longer than those reared on other cultivars, whereas female longevity was the same on the seven strawberry cultivars. The life time fecundities of T. urticae on Marak and Sequoia (26.70, 45.43 eggs/female, respectively) were lower than those on other cultivars. Lowest intrinsic rate of increase found in mites reared on Marak and Sequioa. Higher intrinsic rate (0.28 day -1 ) and fecundity found in mite reared on Chandler, it may be due to the higher nutritional quality and low density of trichome. Marak and Sequoia were least suitable cultivars for T. urticae.
On the transitions in marine boundary layer cloudiness

Abstract. Satellite observations and meteorological reanalysis are used to examine the transition from unbroken sheets of stratocumulus to fields of scattered cumulus, and the processes controlling them, in four subtropical oceans. A Lagrangian analysis suggests that both the transition, defined as the temporal evolution in cloudiness, and the processes driving the transition, are quite similar among the subtropical oceans. The increase in sea surface temperature and the associated decrease in lower tropospheric stability appear to play a far more important role in cloud evolution than other factors including changes in large scale divergence and upper tropospheric humidity. During the summer months, the transitions in marine boundary layer cloudiness appear so systematically that their characteristics obtained by documenting the flow of thousands of individual air masses are well reproduced by the mean (or climatological) fields of the different data sets. This highlights interesting opportunities for future observational and modeling studies of these transitions.

Parity-time-symmetric topological superconductor

Nonequilibrium open systems effectively described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with parity-time ($P\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}T$) symmetry have recently attracted considerable attention due to their properties with no Hermitian counterparts. In particular, there exists a growing interest in non-Hermitian topological phases of matter. Here, the authors show that a $P\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}T$-symmetric topological superconducting wire possesses two distinct types of unconventional edge modes, those with complex energies and with nonorthogonal Majorana zero modes. The latter induce anomalous particle transport with nonlocal currents present only at the edges. This work explores a unique nonequilibrium topological phenomenon that results from the interplay between $P\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}T$ symmetry and topological superconductivity.
Effects of Resident Species on Recruitment into a Community: Larval Settlement Versus Post-Settlement Mortality in the Oyster Crassostrea virginica

Laboratory and field experiments revealed that a variety of species of common, sessile invertebrates, including barnacles, ascidians, and bryozoans, affected the settlement and post-settlement abundance of the oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin). While the nature of the effects varied, most species both reduced oyster settlement by covering and removing substrate available for attachment, and increased settlement on adjacent surfaces. The solitary ascidians Ciona intestinalis (L.) and Styela clava (Herdman), were found to be predators of oyster larvae. Post-settlement survivorship and growth were also strongly affected by the presence of sessile species. In most cases the effects were negative and correlated with the abundances of the species. Data suggest that competition for planktonic food was the mostly likely cause of reduced growth and survivorship. For many resident species, the combination of reduced oyster settlement on their own exposed surfaces, increased settlement on substrate adjacent to them, and decreased post-settlement survivorship in theu presence resulted in these species havlng little effect on net recruitment. These results demonstrate the need for distinguish~ng interactions among benthic invertebrate populations during the period from settlement to recruitment.
A comparison in attitudes and knowledge about behavioral therapy in the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder between family practice physicians and psychiatrists

79 Objective: This study explored attitudes and knowledge about behavioral therapy in the treatment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) between family practice physicians (FPs) and psychiatrists. Other topics included adult ADHD, the barriers of mental health referrals, and stimulant medication. Method: After IRB approval, multiple-choice surveys were hand-delivered to 116 participants, including family practice physicians and psychiatrists, in the Northwest Ohio region. Surveys were anonymously returned by mail and data was analyzed for significance using SPSS. Results: There was no significant statistical difference in the identification of the AAP treatment guidelines for ADHD between the two medical specialties. There was also no significant statistical difference in the acknowledgement of the importance for behavioral therapy in the treatment of ADHD between the two medical specialties. Significant results indicated FPs are hesitant to prescribe stimulant medication to children with ADHD. Lastly, it was discovered that participants in general did not realize the prevalence of ADHD into adulthood. Conclusion: It was found that there was no difference in the attitudes or knowledge about behavioral therapy in the treatment of ADHD between FPs and psychiatrists. This study agrees with other literature in that clinicians know the correct treatment guidelines for ADHD yet are not following them in practice either due to barriers in the systems that prevent mental health referrals or other unknown bias.
