ExoMol molecular line lists – XXVII. Spectra of C2H4

A new line list for ethylene, 12C2 1H4, is presented. The line list is based on high-level ab initio potential energy and dipole moment surfaces. The potential energy surface is refined by fitting to experimental energies. The line list covers the range up to 7000 cm−1 (1.43 μm) with all ro-vibrational transitions (50 billion) with the lower state below 5000 cm−1 included and thus should be applicable for temperatures up to 700 K. A technique for computing molecular opacities from vibrational band intensities is proposed and used to provide temperature dependent cross-sections of ethylene for shorter wavelength and higher temperatures. When combined with realistic band profiles (such as the proposed three-band model), the vibrational intensity technique offers a cheap but reasonably accurate alternative to the full ro-vibrational calculations at high temperatures and should be reliable for representing molecular opacities. The C2H4 line list, which is called MaYTY, is made available in electronic form from the CDS (http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr) and ExoMol (www.exomol.com) databases.
Value of the Electronic Medical Record for Hospital Care: A Review of the Literature

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are a core means to reduce hospital costs and to improve quality of hospital care. In this work, empirical studies between 2004 and 2010 were analyzed to summarize the evidence of economic and medical benefits achieved. Using Medline, 578 articles were retrieved with seven studies compliant with the inclusion criteria. Five studies supported a reduction of costs; another study found a negative effect. Relating to health care quality, five studies gave at least positive indices, while another found mixed results. The small number of relevant studies might be due to a shift from hospital care to outpatient and ambulatory care. In view of the good evidence from local implementations, the pervasion of EMRs is surprisingly low. This corresponds with intermingled results based on analyses of secondary data from large samples of hospitals. More public awareness is needed to convince health care providers to implement EMRs.
Zby atlanticus, a New Turiasaurian Sauropod (Dinosauria, Eusauropoda) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal

ABSTRACT Here we describe a new partial sauropod skeleton from the late Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic) of the Lourinhã Formation, central west Portugal. The closely associated specimen comprises a complete tooth (with root), a fragment of cervical neural arch, an anterior chevron, and an almost complete right pectoral girdle and forelimb. The new sauropod, Zby atlanticus, n. gen. et sp. , can be diagnosed on the basis of four autapomorphies, including a prominent posteriorly projecting ridge on the humerus at the level of the deltopectoral crest. Nearly all anatomical features indicate that Zby is a non-neosauropod eusauropod. On the basis of several characters, including tooth morphology, extreme anteroposterior compression of the proximal end of the radius, and strong beveling of the lateral half of the distal end of the radius, Zby appears to be closely related to Turiasaurus riodevensis from approximately contemporaneous deposits in eastern Spain. However, these two genera can be distinguished from each other by a number of features pertaining to the forelimb. Whereas previously described Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropods show close relationships with taxa from the contemporaneous Morrison Formation of North America, it appears that turiasaurians were restricted to Europe. All adult sauropods recovered in the Late Jurassic of Portugal thus far are very large individuals: it is possible that the apparent absence of small- or medium-sized adult sauropods might be related to the occupation of lower-browsing niches by non-sauropods such as the long-necked stegosaur Miragaia longicollum.
The international diversification puzzle is not worse than you think

This paper offers two main contributions. First, it shows how the Baxter and Jermann (1997) claim that, once we consider human capital risk, the international diversification puzzle is worse than we think, is based on an econometric misspecification rejected by the data. Second, it outlines how, once the misspecification is corrected, the results are reverted: considering the human capital risk does not unequivocally worsen the puzzle and in some cases helps explaining it.
Performances of growing Muscovy ducks fed on diets supplemented with Quebracho tannin powder

Summary Vegetal tannins, extracted from the wood of Schinopsis lorenzii trees, was administered on the feed for growing ducklings to evaluate the effect on productive performances and nitrogen content in plasma and excreta. Ducks belonged to local strains of Muscovy duck, not selected for growth speed. Ninety 42 days old male Muscovy ducks were distributed in 9 open-air sandy ground pens (10 males/ pen; density 0.56 ducks/ sqm) and fed ad libitum on a commercial growing mash feed supplemented with three levels of Quebracho-tan nin (MGM-S product, manufactured by Unitan s.a.i.c.a., Buenos Aires): 0%, 1.5%, 2.5%. The experimental diets were randomly assigned to pens (30 ducks/ diet). Data on weight gain, feed conversion, plasma total protein level, excreta dry matter, slaughtering traits at 84 days of life were collected. Tannins added in the diets did not depress duck growth, and neither leg abnormalities nor mortality were observed. After six weeks of treatment weight gain and live weight were similar among groups, as well as slaughtering traits. Tannin level did not influence plasmatic total protein and excreta dry matter.
Investment by Korean Chaebols before and after the Crisis

This paper analyzes the investment behavior of the Korean corporate sector before and after the 1997 financial crisis. Using firm-level data, we find that after controlling for investment profitability and cash flows, chaebol-affiliated firms, particularly ones with weak corporate governance structure, made significantly higher investments than non-chaebol firms before the crisis. In contrast, there were no differences between chaebol and non-chaebol firms in terms of investment volume over the period following the crisis. While excessive investment by chaebol firms disappeared over the recovery and reform process, we do not find evidence that chaebol groups have improved the efficiency of investment allocation. We find that intragroup resource sharing through the internal capital market was strengthened in the post-crisis period.
Relationship Between Linear Running and Change of Direction Performances of Male Soccer Players

It is known that there is a strong correlation between performance and match performance in terms of soccer players. Furthermore, it is expressed that the agility and the linear sprint have different performance skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between linear sprint and change in performance scores and determine the most appropriate agility test for soccer players. 16 male soccer players (age: 21.93 ± 3.62 years, height: 175.06 ± 3.06 cm, body mass: 69.51 ± 7.40 kg, body mass index: 22.67 ± 2.16 kg / m 2, body fat ratio: 7.52 ± 2.64% linear sprint and agility tests. All participants completed a test battery involving linear sprinting (10, 20, 30 m), agility tests (T test, 505, Pro-agility, illinois). The 10, 20, and 30 m sprint performance were positively correlated with the illinois agility test (p <0.05). Furthermore, the 20-m sprint performance was positively correlated (r = .571, p = .042) with performance on pro-agility test. (R = .329, p = .272; r = .370, p = .214; r = .338, p = .259 respectively) with performance on T test but this correlation levels were not significance. Given these meaningless relationships, it may state that the most appropriate agility tests are T test for soccer players.

ENHANCEMENT OF BIOAVAILABLE MICRONUTRIENTS AND REDUCTION OF ANTINUTRIENTS IN FOODS WITH SOME PROCESSES

The most of plant foods, nuts and cereals contain antinutrient compounds. They reduce to mineral bioavailability and protein absorption of foods thanks to their chelating properties. They causes to micronutrient malnutrition and mineral deficiencies. The micronutrient malnutrition is a widespread global health problem not only in developing but also in many countries. Increasing micronutrient intake in food through food processing based approaches is a sustainable method of prevention of micronutrient malnutrition which should be achieved through food diversification. There are traditional and technological methods that provide reducing of antinutrient compounds.The pretreatment and processing techniques as soaking, fermentation, germination, debranning , and autoclaving are even traditional methods which use generally in consumption of foods.Removing antinutrients, the bioavailability of some cation (Ca, Fe and Zn) and the absorption of proteins make to increase and consequently nutrition value of food increase. It is possible to reduce antinutrient factors by using domestic or industrial basic food processing techniques alone or in combination.This review focused on various methods to reduce antinutrients in food such as phytic acid, tannin, and oxalate in food grain to improve nutritional quality of foods.

Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) Attracted to Animal Carcasses in the Brazilian Dry Forest and Implications for Forensic Entomology

The association of stingless bees with pig carcasses exposed in a Brazilian Dry Forest area were examined. Modified Shannon traps were settled together to collect these insects during two seasons (dry and rainy). 564 bees were collected, belonging to three tribes and nine species. The majority of bees (75.5%) was collected during the dry season, and Partamona seridoensis Pedro & Camargo (32.8%) and Trigonisca sp. (20.9%) were the most abundant species. Five decomposition stages were recognized, being the bloated, active and advanced decay the most attractive to the bees. Considerations about seasonal foraging and use of bees in the forensic entomology scope are presented.
Assessment of PTSD in Older Veterans: The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist: Military Version (PCL-M)

The Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist: Military Version (PCL-M) is a 17-item, self-report measure of PTSD symptomatology in military veterans and provides one total score and four subscale scores for older veterans’ PTSD (re-experiencing, avoiding, numbing, and hyperarousal symptoms). Study subjects are 456 male veterans over 55-years old with deployed experiences selected from a larger survey data by Veterans’ Affairs Canada (VAC). This study found that overall scale reliability was excellent with alpha of . 93 and subscale alphas ranging from . 81 to . 90. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) confirmed the best fit of four first-order factor models. Criterion validity was confirmed through significant associations of the PCL-M scores with well-established measures of depression, substance abuse, and general health indices. The PCL-M is recommended as a reliable and valid tool for the clinical and empirical assessment of screening PTSD symptomatology, specifically related to older veterans military experiences.
Buying Loyalty: Theory and Evidence from Physicians

Skilled-services firms often lack full control over their key assets -- the relationships between their workers and clients. This problem can lead to investment holdups that distort labor market equilibria. We study how non-compete agreements (NCAs), which prohibit a worker from leaving a firm and then competing against it, can overcome this control problem. We show theoretically that NCAs reduce investment holdups and increase productive efficiency. These direct effects lead to higher worker earnings, larger returns to tenure, and longer job spells. However, NCAs also reduce the ex post bargaining power of workers, which can alter the structure of contracts. Using new survey data from physicians, we find that physicians with NCAs have contracts with output incentives that are more than twice as strong, they are over 40% more productive, earn 14% higher wages, and have within-job earnings growth that is 21 percentage points higher, despite being of the same average quality as physicians without NCAs. Decomposing earnings growth, we find that NCAs increase returns to both tenure and experience, suggesting that they promote general as well as firm-specific human capital investment. All of the effects increase in magnitude with the enforceability of state NCA laws.
Limiting eccentricity of subparsec massive black hole binaries surrounded by self-gravitating gas discs

We study the dynamics of supermassive black hole binaries embedded in circumbinary gaseous discs, with the SPH code GADGET-2. The sub-parsec binary (of total mass M and mass ratio q = 1/3) has excavated a gap and transfers its angular momentum to the self‐ gravitating disc (Mdisc = 0.2M ). We explore the changes of the binary eccentricity e, by simulating a sequence of binary models that differ in the initial eccentricity e0, only. In initially low-eccentric binaries, the eccentricity increase s with time, while in high-eccentric binaries e declines, indicating the existence of a limiting eccentric ity ecrit that is found to fall in the interval [0.6,0.8]. We also present an analytical interpretation for this satu ration limit. An important consequence of the existence of ecrit is the detectability of a significant residual eccentricity eLISA by the proposed gravitational wave detector LISA. It is found that at the moment of entering the LISA frequency domain eLISA � 10 3 10 2 ; a signature of its earlier coupling with the massive circumbinary disc. We also observe large periodic inflows across the gap, occurring on the binary and disc dynamical time scales rather than on the viscous time. These periodic changes in the accretion rate (with amplitudes up to � 100%, depending on the binary eccentricity) can be considered a fin gerprint of eccentric sub-parsec binaries migrating inside a circumbinary disc.
Radiocarbon in Annual Tree Rings from Thailand During the Pre-Bomb Period, Ad 1938–1954

Annual tree rings from Thailand were analyzed by radiocarbon AMS for AD 1938–1954. The results showed no significant depletion in atmospheric 14C over Thailand during the pre-bomb period, even though the air mass to Thailand during the growing season of tree rings is transported over a potentially significant source of oceanic 14C-depleted CO2, out-gassing in the northern Indian Ocean. When compared with Washington and Chile for different periods from the 17th century to AD 1954, Thailand appears to have the characteristics of Southern Hemisphere 14C. This supports our previous finding that Thailand was strongly influenced by the entrainment of Southern Hemisphere air parcels in the southwest Asian monsoon (Hua et al. 2004). For Thailand, this effect is much stronger than the reduction of atmospheric 14C in association with CO2 out-gassing in the northern Indian Ocean.
Genotyping of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dairy herds in Mexico

In the present work, Staphyloccous aureus field strains were isolated from 27 mastitic cows representing 12 dairy herds. This was selected of almost 3,000 field strains of mastitic cows. The strains were subjected to different Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the toxin encoding genes SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, SEE, SEG, SEJ and TST genes. The investigated strains were then subjected to fingerprinting by the means of Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). The screening for the previously mentioned toxin encoding genes revealed the absence of all toxin encoding genes with the exception of SEI which could be detected in a single strain. Meanwhile, the data obtained through the PFGE analysis indicated the close relationship of S. aureus field strains responsible for the induction of mastitis in western Mexico.
PATHOLOGICAL OUTCOME IN THE PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT AILMENTS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY IN LAKHIMPUR DISTRICT, ASSAM

Hemoglobin, total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, random blood sugar, creatinine and blood urea levels were measured in a total of 1123 participants attended at North lakhimpur Civil hospital during the year 2013. The prevalence of anemia was observed in 45.33% (509/1123) cases. Among the study participants, 5.08% (57/1123) cases were typhoid widal test positive. The level of low monocyte count observed in all the typhoid positive cases. Beside this an increase level of ESR value, random blood sugar, creatinine and blood urea were examined in a considerable number of cases. Male tend to have higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate values than the females. Only a single Plasmodium falciparum positive case was detected among the study samples. The study concludes that hematological and biochemical estimation is probably useful in early detection of case infection.
XMM-Newton observations of the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676 in quiescence

The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676 started a transition from outburst to quiescence in August 2008, after more than 24 years of continuous accretion. The return of the source to quiescence has been monitored extensively by several X-ray observatories. Here, we report on four XMM-Newton observations elapsing a period of more than 19 months that started in November 2008. The X-ray spectra contain a soft thermal component that we fit with a neutron-star atmosphere model. In only the first observation do we find a significant second component above similar to 3 keV accounting for similar to 7% of the total flux, which might be indicative of residual accretion. The thermal bolometric flux and the temperature of the neutron star crust decrease steadily by 40% and 10%, respectively, between the first and the fourth observations. At the time of the last observation in June 2010, we obtain a thermal bolometric luminosity of 5.6 x 10(33) (d/7.1 kpc)(2) erg s(-1) and a temperature of the neutron star crust of 109 eV. The cooling curve is consistent with a relatively hot medium-mass neutron star cooling by standard mechanisms. From the spectral fits to a neutron-star atmosphere model, we infer limits to the mass and the radius of the neutron star. We find that to achieve self-consistency between the neutron-star masses derived using the different methods, the value of the distance is constrained to be less than or similar to 6 kpc. For this value of the distance, the derived mass and radius contours are consistent with a number of EoSs with nucleons and hyperons.
Propagation of tracer gas in a subway station controlled by natural ventilation

To minimize risk from passengers and emergency rescue teams in occurrence of an event of the release of toxic agents or a fire scenario, an understanding of the dispersion process inside subway systems is valuable information. To gather knowledge about the airflow conditions in the subway system of the Tyne and Wear Metro in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, air velocity and tracer gas dispersion were obtained during a nightly experiment in the absence of train movement. Results indicate that dispersion ways and passenger routes often overlap.
A pr 2 01 8 On irreducible components of Rapoport-Zink spaces

Under a mild condition, we prove that the action of the group of self-quasi-isogenies on the set of irreducible components of a Rapoport-Zink space has finite orbits. Our method allows both ramified and non-basic cases. As a consequence, we obtain some finiteness results on the representation obtained from the l-adic cohomology of a Rapoport-Zink tower.
Detecção de Circovírus suíno 2 (PCV2) por reação em cadeia pela Polimerase (PCR) nas fezes e baia de suínos em granja sem vacinação.

The circovirosis caused by porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is responsible for generating economic losses in swine production in Brazil. Infected animals can develop post weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), reproductive disorders and respiratory diseases. An important subclinical manifestation leads to arrested development. Feces are the main form of contamination. Vaccination is the most effective way to decrease the viral circulation, because it minimizes viral shedding in feces. Unfortunately, the high cost prevents the use of the vaccine for many producers. The objective of this study was to detect PCV2 in stool samples collected from piglets and from the sty of a pig farm, unvaccinated for the agent. A total of 16 samples were collected using swabs, six from the rectum of animals and 10 from the sty. DNA extraction was performed using the Qiagen QIAamp kit, followed by PCR amplification. The amplicons were checked on agarose gel electrophoresis. Our results showed that 87.5% of the samples were positive for PCV2 (14/16), 83.3% of tested animals were infected (5/6) as well as 90% of the sty samples (9/10), indicating a high spread of the virus in the environment. These results were similar to those described in the literature for farms that also did not use vaccination to control PCV2 infection.
Allelopathic effects of Juglone and decomposed walnut leaf juice on muskmelon and cucumber seed germination and seedling growth

In this study, effects of juglone and decomposed walnut leaf juice on muskmelon (Cucumis melo cv. Galia) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Beith Alpha) seed germination percentage and postgermination seedling growth were investigated. Decomposition was carried out by keeping the leaves in distilled water. Muskmelon and cucumber seeds were germinated in Petri dishes at 25°C. Seed germination, seedling elongation and weights were determined at day 10. No significant effect of juglone and decomposed walnut leaf juice on muskmelon seed germination percentage was observed. However, germination of cucumber seed was inhibited significantly. It was found that while both the dry weight root and stems elongation of muskmelon and cucumber seedlings were affected negatively by juglone and undiluted decomposed walnut leaf juices. The negative effect decreased as dilution ratios of decomposed leaf juice increased.
