Spatial relationships between entomopathogenic nematodes and nematophagous fungi in 1 Florida citrus orchards 2 3

18 Relationships between entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), nematophagous fungi (NF) and soil 19 physical and chemical properties were studied in a survey of 53 citrus orchards in central ridge and 20 flatwoods ecoregions of Florida. Seven species of NF associated with nematodes were quantified directly 21 using a real time qPCR assay. All nematophagous fungi studied except Arthrobotrys musiformis 22 and Hirsutella rhossiliensis were frequently detected (24-56%) in both regions. Paecilomyces 23 lilacinus and Gamsylella gephyropagum were encountered more frequently in the flatwoods (P = 0.03) 24 and on the ridge (P = 0.02), respectively. Redundancy analysis revealed seven abiotic and biotic factors as 25 significantly related to the NF occurrence. Multiple regression of fungi on these variables explained 78%, 26 66%, 48%, 36%, 23% and 4% of the variation in Catenaria sp. , A. musiformis, A. dactyloides, P. 27 lilacinus, A. oligospora and G. gepharopagum, respectively. When the data from citrus were pooled with 28 those reported previously from natural areas and subjected to principle component analysis, the first two 29 principle components explained 43% of the variation in NF communities. The surveys (citrus vs natural 30 areas) were discriminated by PC2 (P <0.001) and the ecoregion by PC1 (P <0.002), and all but one NF 31 species were related (P < 0.01) to one or both components. NF communities tended to have more species 32 and greater diversity in the flatwoods, where EPN richness and diversity were the least. However, the 33 strength of associations between individual EPN and NF species as measured by SADIE reflected the 34 associations between each species and ground water depth, suggesting that ecoregion preferences affected 35 the species associations. Within each ecoregion, significant relationships between the individual NF and 36 EPN species measured by stepwise regression tended to be positive. The results did not support the 37 hypothesis that NF modulate the spatial patterns of EPN species between or within these two ecoregions. 38 39 40
Influences of Modified Atmosphere Packaging and Drip Absorbents on the Quality, Safety, and Acceptability of Fresh-Cut Cantaloupe

INFLUENCES OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING AND DRIP ABSORBENTS ON THE QUALITY, SAFETY, AND ACCEPTABILITY OF FRESH-CUT CANTALOUPE By Christopher Wilson In a growing market for fresh-cut produce, it is important to understand the impacts of shelf-life extending technologies and how they are perceived by consumers. In this study, the quality and safety of fresh-cut cantaloupe was examined when packaged in passive, low-O2, and high-O2 modified atmosphere packages (MAP), with and without drip-absorbent pads. To evaluate safety, growth of Listeria monocytogenes was examined over 9 days at 5°C, as well as package weight loss, pad weight gain, and headspace O2 and CO2. To evaluate quality, key physicochemical properties, the growth of spoilage microorganisms, and headspace O2 and CO2 were monitored over 15 days at 3°C. Also, consumer perception of absorbent sachets in packages of fresh-cut cantaloupe was examined through a hedonic sensory evaluation of package and product and asking their opinions of the sachets, change in fresh produce packaging, and willingness to pay for extra use life. The results show that high-O2 MAP held L. monocytogenes populations on fresh-cut melon significantly lower than passive or low-O2 MAP, while increasing redness and lowering pH. The combination of low-O2 MAP and drip-absorbent pads led to more drip, higher aerobic bacterial populations, and lower populations of yeasts and molds. For retaining quality attributes at beneficial O2 levels, the passive MAP atmosphere proved best, while drip-absorbent pads proved unnecessary. In addition, panelists in the sensory evaluation rated that they liked packages with absorbent sachets significantly less than packages without, but this judgment did not pass on to melon attributes. Still, most panelists were willing to pay for extra use life, showing that active compounds may be well received if delivered without sachets. Copyright by CHRISTOPHER WILSON 2017
Epidemiology, Clinical Features and Outcome of Hospitalised Patients with H1N1 Influenza in Chennai, India

Introduction: Although being a vaccine preventable infection, influenza still causes significant morbidity and mortality in vulnerable population. Epidemiology of H1N1 influenza depends on the geographical features of the location and is variable across the world. Methods: This was a retrospective study done between October 2013 and March 2016 in a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, India. Case records of all hospitalised patients with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) confirmed H1N1 were analysed. Results: In analysis of 100 patients, fever was the most common symptom (75%). Upper respiratory tract symptoms (sore throat and rhinorrhea) were seen in 47% of patients. History of sick contacts was elicited in only 23%. Most of our cases occurred in month of February, matching with the annual rainfall in Chennai. Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) was the most common complication. Over-all mortality rate was 3%. Conclusion: Knowledge of local epidemiology is required for high clinical suspicion and prompt diagnosis of influenza as well as in deciding the optimal time for annual influenza vaccination.

Publications Archive Archives des publications du CNRC beliefs and preferences for lighting

OBJECTIVE An understanding of end users is necessary if one is to design to meet human needs. This study measured four broad concepts related to lighting to contribute to our understanding of end users in this domain: knowledge about technical aspects of lighting; beliefs about the ef fects of lighting on people; preferences regarding lighting; and importance of lighting. The study was a survey of a large group of university undergraduates. Sets of questions relat ing to each of the four concepts were created from the literature on lighting and interviews with other subjects. The lighting types and settings deliberately referred to circumstances fa miliar to these subjects. The questionnaire was completed during university classes. six hypotheses, developed from sug gestions in the literature on lighting from the research prior experience in lighting research, about interrela tionships between the variables. The relevant research is re viewed below. The hypotheses are as follows:

Efficacy of tigecycline vs. imipenem in the treatment of experimental murine pneumonia

The in vivo activity of tigecycline was evaluated in an experimental pneumonia model (C57BL/6 mice) by Acinetobacter baumannii. Two clinical strains were used: minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of imipenem and tigecycline 1 and 2 μg/mL (imipenem-susceptible, IPM-S), and 8 and 2 μg/mL (imipenem-intermediate, IPMI), respectively. For imipenem (30 mg/Kg), ∆T/CMI (h) were 1.04 and 0.51 for IPM-S and IPM-I, respectively. For tigecycline (5 mg/Kg), the area under the concentration– time curve (AUC)/MIC0–24 h (serum and lung) were 9.24 and 4.37 (for the two strains), respectively. In the efficacy experiments with the IPM-S, imipenem (log CFU/g 3.59± 0.78, p=0.006) and tigecycline (2.82±1.2, p=0.054) decreased the bacterial counts in lungs with respect to its controls; with the IPM-I, both imipenem (1.21±0.52, p= 0.002) and tigecycline (3.21±0.28, p=0.035) decreased the bacterial counts with respect to the controls. In the survival experiments, with the IPM-S, the mortality was the same in the control (67%) and in the tigecycline (77%) groups, and imipenem reduced it (21%, p=0.025); with the IPM-I, the mortality was the same in the control (87%) and in the tigecycline (85%) groups, and imipenem (0%) reduced it (p<0.001). In summary, the present study shows that tigecycline is less efficacious than imipenem in the treatment of experimental A. baumannii pneumonia caused by IPM-S and IPM-I strains.
Etiology of Childhood Diarrhea Following Rotavirus Vaccine Introduction: A Prospective, Population-Based Study in Nicaragua

Background— Nicaragua was the first developing nation to implement routine immunization with the pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV5). In this RV5-immunized population, understanding infectious etiologies of childhood diarrhea is necessary to direct diarrhea treatment and prevention efforts. Methods— We followed a population-based sample of children less than 5 years in León, Nicaragua for diarrhea episodes through household visits. Information was obtained on RV5 history and sociodemographics. Stool samples collected during diarrhea episodes and among healthy children underwent laboratory analysis for viral, bacterial, and parasitic enteropathogens. Detection frequency and incidence of each enteropathogen was calculated. Results— The 826 children in the cohort among 61.1% of the 337 diarrheal stools collected. The most common enteropathogens among diarrheal stools were: norovirus (20.4%), sapovirus (16.6%), enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC, 11.3%), Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (8.3%), Giardia lamblia (8.0%), and enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC, 7.7%), with rotavirus detected among 5.3% of diarrheal stools. EPEC and ETEC were frequently detected among stools from healthy children. Among children with diarrhea, norovirus was more commonly detected among younger children (< 2 years) and G. lamblia was more commonly detected among older children (2-4 years). The mean age of rotavirus detection was 34.6 months. Conclusions— In this Central American community following RV5 introduction, rotavirus was not commonly detected among children with diarrhea. Prevention and appropriate management of norovirus and sapovirus should be considered to further reduce the burden of diarrheal disease.
The evaluation on liquefied natural gas truck promotion in Shenzhen freight

Due to the raising economy development of Shenzhen, environmental problems brought by road transport have become more serious. Promoting liquefied natural gas vehicle in the road freight is a key to reduce emissions, change the direction for road freight development, and build a resource-saving society. This article studies the application of liquefied natural gas vehicle in Shenzhen in-depth through official data sets, field investigation, expert consultation, and so on. Economic benefit analysis shows that liquefied natural gas vehicle has the advantage of saving considerable fuel costs for enterprises. Moreover, the Monte-Carlo method is used to evaluate the economic benefits considering a lot of factors. The economic analysis shows that the liquefied natural gas vehicle is more affordable than the diesel vehicle. Finally, the current issues of liquefied natural gas vehicles on the promotion are discussed and some advices are proposed to improve air quality and reduce emissions.
Hierarchical Ranking of Universities or Differentiation Strategy: A Dilemma in the Advent of Education 5.0 in Zimbabwean

the manuscript explored the benefits of ranking universities on the basis of research output or qualifications of staff members in juxtaposition with the strategic differentiation approach in Zimbabwe. The humanistic paradigm informed the study specifically focusing on Maslow’s need theory and Rogers’ person-centred theory coupled with Porter’s focus strategy. The study followed the interpretive paradigm and it adopted the qualitative research approach. The phenomenological research design was used. The purposive sampling method was used to select a sample of 20 research participants. The researchers selected the respondents on the basis of their experience as employees in higher and tertiary faith-based institutions and allied Christian organisations. Semi-structured telephone interviews and questionnaires containing both closed and openended items were both used as a form of methodological triangulation to collect data during the empirical investigation. The study established that the hierarchical ranking of universities on the basis of research output is sometimes misleading since it is not entirely true to claim that lowly ranked university are not contributing much to society. The study also established that the differentiation strategy approach enables various stakeholders to acknowledge the contribution of various universities to human holistic development in their unique ways.
Effect of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Pulmonary Function

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic and vascular disorder affecting various organs and systems. Many studies have shown impairment of pulmonary functions in diabetics subjects, whereas some studies did not show any changes in pulmonary functions. Therefore, objective of the present study is to find out alterations in the pulmonary functions. Methods Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital among patients attending medicine department. The sample size was 200. A total of 100 known cases of DM without any acute or chronic lung disease and 100 healthy controls were included in the age group of 40–50 years. History of smoking was excluded in both groups. The diabetic subjects had at least 1 year of duration of disease. Intervention: Pulmonary function test (spirometry) was performed with NND TrueFlow Easy OneTM diagnostic spirometer. Main Outcome Measures: The forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) were the primary outcome measures to assess the pulmonary functions. Results: In Phase 1 analysis, diabetic subjects did not show any changes in both FVC and FEV1 when compared with controls. In Pearson correlation test, a significant negative correlation between duration of disease and pulmonary functions, FVC at the level of 0.05 and FEV1 at the level of 0.01 were observed. However, in Phase 2 analysis, a significant reduction in FVC and FEV1 was observed in diabetic subjects with duration of diabetes more than 5 years. Conclusion: The decline in FVC and FEV1 in diabetic subjects is more likely to be the effect of DM. The decline is more pronounced with the duration of the disease.
A Robust Model for Person Re-Identiﬁcation in Multimodal Person Localization

—Determining person ID (Identity) is one of the crucial steps in indoor human localization system. It is more exactly stated as person Re-ID (Re-Identiﬁcation) problem because for each user’s position, the user ID at the ﬁrst occurrence needs to be shown correspondingly at the later times of localization. In this paper, a multimodal person localization system of WiFi and camera is proposed, with the analysis for the key role of appearance-based person Re-ID in fusing different information sources. A new model for person appearance representation based on kernel descriptor is proposed to tackle the challenges of person Re-ID in camera network. Additionally, a dataset for the real scenario of the proposed multimodal person localization is also established, in which we set a database for vision-based human Re-ID evaluation. The experiments on the benchmark datasets and our dataset show the outperforming results in comparison with other state-of-the-art approaches.

There is promising evidence with the use of topical oatmeal compounds in the management of inflammationand itch-responses associated with diverse dermatologic conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefit of colloidal oatmeal cream in the management of chronic irritant HE. Methods: From October 2018 to November 2019, 79 patients with diagnosis of chronic irritant HE were allocated into either intervention or control groups by block randomization method. Besides fluocinolone 0.025% ointment for the first 2 weeks of treatment period, patients in the intervention and control groups were asked to use colloidal oatmeal 1% cream or base cream for additional 4 weeks as monotherapy. Changes in the HE severity based on the hand eczema severity index (HESCI) score, pruritus severity based on the visual analogue scale (VAS), and impact of skin disorder on patients quality of life based on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) from baseline to weeks 2, 4, and 6 were assessed in the study groups. Results: Fifty subjects, 26 in intervention and 24 in control, completed the course of the study. The results indicated, though relatively comparable decrease in mean HESI and VAS scores was observed in both groups by the end of week 2, thereafter until end of the study a non-return of symptoms to baseline conditions was observed in the intervention group, while there was a significant return of symptoms to baseline conditions in the control group (p value<0.001 in both conditions). Further, a noticeable improvement in the DLQI score was seen in the intervention group compared with the control group (p value<0.001). Conclusion: Findings demonstrate that colloidal oatmeal, a natural product with proven barrier protection, moisturization, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, can have ameliorative effects on eczema severity symptoms in patients with chronic irritant HE.
Efficacy of some biotic and abiotic treatments in controlling Alternariasolani the causal of tomato early blight disease in vitro and in vivo

Early blight of tomato caused by Alternariasolaniis one of the most common foliar diseases of tomato. Fivetested Trichoderma isolates were most effective in reducing growth of A. solani(As-3) than the tested Bacillus isolates. The highest reduction% was recorded with Trichodermaaureoviride-I(T-1) followed by Trichodermaaureoviride-II (T-2), Bacillussubtilis-I (B-24) and Bacillusamyloliquefaciens-II(B-19). Spraying plants with any of the tested antagonists before inoculation with A. solani under greenhouse conditions decreased the early blight disease severity (DS) by 15.1 to 45.3% compared with the infected control treatment with the pathogen only which recorded 93.4% of DS%. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens-II (B-19),T. virens (T11)and T. harzianum-II (T-13) were the most effective for controlling early blight disease at 21-day post inoculation. All plant oils reduced the growth of A. solani isolate (As-3) with superiority of the high concentrations. The highest decreased % in growth of A. solani occurred with the 6.0% concentration. Among the five plant oils, cinnamon was the most effective followed by cloves then marjoram, while garlic was the least effective. Moreover, all oils at 3% concentration were moderately effective in controlling the disease. Clove and marjoram oil were the most effective in decreasing the infection at 21-day post inoculation with the pathogen while, garlic oil was the least effective. All tested chemical inducers reduced the growth of A. solani(As-3) on PDA plates. The high concentration 400 mM of sodium bicarbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate was the most effective. Salicylic acid at 3 and 5mM was more effective in reducing the growth of isolate As-3 compared with the same concentrations of ascorbic acid. Spraying plants with the tested chemical inducers against early blight disease caused by A. solani(As-3) was moderately effective in controlling the infection. All tested chemical inducers controlled the early blight infection where the recorded DS% was ranged between 30.1 to 45.4% at 21day post inoculation with A. solani(As-3). Spraying tomato plants with salicylic acid was the most effective treatment in controlling A. solani (As-3) infection compared with the other chemical
