Predicting Nitrate Retention at the Groundwater‐Surface Water Interface in Sandplain Streams

Groundwater‐surface water ecotones present opportunities for nitrate retention because changes in organic carbon availability, redox potential, and nitrate demand often occur at these locations. Although there have been many measurements of nitrate retention and denitrification at the groundwater‐surface water interface, few investigators have quantitatively predicted where nitrogen transformation occurs in this zone. Our main objective was to describe and predict spatial variation in nitrate retention and removal in shallow groundwater among and within streams in the central sand plains of Wisconsin. We predicted that nitrate transformation rates would be positively related to nitrate and particulate organic carbon availability, a negative nonlinear function of dissolved oxygen availability, and would peak at intermediate rates of groundwater discharge. Five sites on four streams were chosen that spanned an order of magnitude in groundwater nitrate concentration. Nitrate retention and N2 production were quantified by determining how nitrate and N2 fluxes changed along nominal 55‐cm groundwater flow paths. Nitrogen transformation was widespread but highly variable within the study sites. Partial least squares regression models explained a much larger amount of variation in nitrate retention and N2 production at the local scale than at the regional scale. Dissolved oxygen availability and groundwater discharge were the most consistent predictors of nitrate retention at both scales. We conclude that nitrate retention at the groundwater‐surface water interface can be predicted but that more research is necessary to determine if nitrate transformation at this ecotone can be modeled at broader scales.
First MAX‐DOAS Observations of Formaldehyde and Glyoxal in Phimai, Thailand

Multiaxis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX‐DOAS) observations were performed for the first time in Thailand at the rural site of Phimai (15.18°N, 102.56°E). Vertical profiles of eight components were retrieved separately using the Japanese MAX‐DOAS profile retrieval algorithm, version 2. Here we focused on formaldehyde (HCHO) and glyoxal (CHOCHO) and evaluated their volume mixing ratios in the lowest layer (0–1 km) of the retrieved vertical profiles. We estimated the ratio of CHOCHO to HCHO concentrations (RGF), which has been suggested to be an important tracer indicative of changes in volatile organic compound emissions. Higher HCHO and CHOCHO concentrations were observed during the dry season, reflecting the influence of biomass burning. The mean RGF for the Phimai site was estimated to be 0.032 ± 0.005. The estimated RGF for the dry season (0.028 ± 0.002) was lower than that during the wet season (0.040 ± 0.003), when biogenic emissions were dominated. While Phimai can be characterized as an environment with low nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations (<1 ppbv), the potential impact of biomass burning on the lower RGF during the dry season was investigated by the occasional enhancement of NO2 concentrations as a tracer of biomass burning.
Identification and Toxicity Evaluation of Beauveria sp. Associated with White Muscardine Disease in Muga Silkworm Antheraea assamensis Helfer

The present study is an effort to isolate and identify the Beauveria sp. from white muscardine infected Antheraea assamensis Helfer (muga silkworm) larvae collected from rearing fields. The isolate was subjected to morphological identification followed by DNA barcoding analysis by sequencing the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region. The isolate was identified morphologically up to genus level. For molecular identification, the DNA was first isolated, amplified by using PCR followed by sequencing the ITS region. A phylogenetic tree was also constructed based on the data obtained from sequencing to trace the evolutionary history of the isolated fungus. The fungal species was identified as Beauveria bassiana with 98.6% sequence similarity with already documented B. bassiana strains. The toxicity of the isolated fungus was also evaluated against A. assamensis larvae. The LC50 value was determined at 96 hr and recorded at 1.1x108 spore/ ml concentration.
The Humanization and Maturation of an Anti-PrPc Antibody

The cellular prion protein (PrPc) is a cell surface glycoprotein that is highly expressed in a variety of cancer tissues in addition to the nervous system, and its elevated expression is correlated to poor prognosis in many cancer patients. Our team previously found that patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with high-level PrPc expression had significantly poorer survival than those with no or low-level PrPc expression. Mouse antibodies for PrPc inhibited tumor initiation and liver metastasis of PrPc-positive human CRC cells in mouse model experiments. PrPc is a candidate target for CRC therapy. In this study, we newly cloned a mouse anti-PrPc antibody (Clone 6) and humanized it, then affinity-matured this antibody using a CHO cell display with a peptide antigen and full-length PrPc, respectively. We obtained two humanized antibody clones with affinities toward a full-length PrPc of about 10- and 100-fold of that of the original antibody. The two humanized antibodies bound to the PrPc displayed significantly better on the cell surface than Clone 6. Used for Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, the humanized antibody with the highest affinity is superior to the two most frequently used commercial antibodies (8H4 and 3F4). The two new antibodies have the potential to be developed as useful reagents for PrPc detection and even therapeutic antibodies targeting PrPc-positive cancers.
Channel Profile and Plan‐View Controls on the Aspect Ratio of River Basins

The ratio between the width and length (i.e., aspect ratio) of river basins is a fundamental attribute of Earth's surface. Topographic analyses showed that the aspect ratio of high‐order basins along linear mountain fronts is surprisingly consistent despite different tectonic, lithologic, and climatic conditions. Additionally, analysis of simulated landscapes showed that the aspect ratio depends on the concavity of the river profile. These observations remain difficult to explain because of the intricate shape of river networks. Here I present a simple geometric model that computes the aspect ratio from the location of a triple divide junction with neighboring basins, the concavity of the river profile, and the exponent that relates river length and drainage area (i.e., Hack's exponent). The model suggests that these seemingly independent empirical observations are interdependent and that small basins that bound larger ones play a key role in determining the aspect ratio of the larger basins.

Oceanographic factors related to Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) catches in the west Java Sea

The satellite data included sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) from AVISO, sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) from Aqua MODIS and Eastern Little Tuna (Euthynnus affinis) catches were used as a combined dataset to understand the ocean variations and further addresses their relations with the Eastern Little Tuna catches in the Java Sea. The fish catches and remotely sensed data were analyzed for the 5 years datasets from 2010-2014. The relationships of oceanographic factors and catch distribution were explored with a generalized additive model (GAM). Catch rates varied temporally relatively significant over year-round. The Eastern Little Tuna catch rates have the peak season in March and October (900 ton to 1000 ton). The ELT catch peaks during the transition season from southeast to northwest monsoon (September to November) and decreases during southeast monsoon (June to August). The GAM results showed that the 3-oceanographic parameter combination models explained the highest deviance (41.4%) with Chl-a explained the highest deviance (23.3%). High probabilities of Eastern Little Tuna catches corresponded to marine productivity of Chl-a concentration ranging from 0.3-0.5 mg/m3, for SSHA ranging from 0-8 cm and SST ranging from 28-29°C. We recommend to have further investigations through the use of long-term historical time series to predict fishing ground locations and an emerging need to improve our climate understanding and forecast skill to conserve small pelagic catches.
An Observational Study in the Real Clinical Practice of the Treatment of Noninfectious Uveitis

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of patients with uveitis associated with an immunologic or idiopathic disease that requires immunosuppressive treatment and the response to such treatments in real clinical practice. Methods: An observational, descriptive, longitudinal, and retrospective study of a cohort of patients diagnosed with noninfectious uveitis was performed. To assess the response to treatment, we evaluated the change in visual acuity, vitritis, and the presence of macular edema. Results: We included 356 patients. Overall, 12% required treatment with systemic corticosteroids, and 66 patients (18.5%) required immunosuppressive/biological treatment, with methotrexate being the most used (55%). Immunosuppressive drugs were used in 59 cases (in 56 patients, as the first choice of treatment and for 3 patients as the second choice after treatment with biologics). Treatment with biologics was the first choice in 10 patients out of 66 (15%), and 34 (48%) required them at some time during the disease, with adalimumab being the most commonly used. Thirty-five patients (53%) needed to switch drugs due to a lack of response to the first one. There were no differences between different drugs in the resolution of vitritis and improvement in vision. Conclusions: The use of systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive/biologics was necessary for a high number of patients with noninfectious uveitis. In our series, tocilizumab was significantly more effective in the resolution of macular edema.
Orange Peel and Skin Health: An Exploratory Study on Potential Benefits

The discarded orange peel from the citrus fruit industry has recently been found to have potential benefits for skin health. Orange peel contains flavonoids, limonoids, and carotenoids, which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds protect the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation caused by environmental factors like Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and pollution. This peel is also observed as a rich source of vitamin C which is beneficial in maintaining collagen synthesis, a protein that maintains skin elasticity and firmness. Using orange peel extract or essential oil in cosmetics reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. The compounds present in orange peel also possess antimicrobial properties, which are beneficial for treating acne and other skin infections. Additionally, the extracts of orange peel can lighten the skin, and have potential to treat hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It suppresses the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. Overall, orange peel is considered a valuable source of bioactive compounds that can improve skin health. Its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, collagen-stimulating, antimicrobial, and skin lightening properties make it a potential ingredient in skincare products. This review aims at exploring the potential benefits of orange peel for skin well-being. The major focus is on the antioxidant content, antimicrobial properties, and anti-inflammatory effect of orange peel extracts. Through this investigation, the goal is to get a better understanding of how orange peel can support healthy skin and potentially offer natural solutions for skin-related concerns. The findings from this study will serve as a basis for future research and the potential creation of skincare products incorporating orange peel extracts.
Chromosome counts and karyotype features of different ecotypes of Allium L. species (Amaryllidaceae – Subg. Melanocrommyum) in Iran

This study aimed to investigate the karyotypes of five Allium species, which belong to three sections of the subgenus Melanocrommyum. Bulbs from these species were collected from natural habitats in Iran, and their somatic chromosomes were analysed. The results revealed that all examined members of subg. Melanocrommyum had a basic chromosome number of x=8 and were diploid (2n=2x=16). Chromosomal data for A. saralicum and A. shatakiense are reported here for the first time. The karyotypes exhibited a variety of chromosome types and sizes, including variations observed among different accessions of the same species. In particular, A. saralicum showed satellite chromosomes ranging in size from 2.2 to 3.71 µm, located on the short arm. Seven accessions of A. saralicum, A. stipitatum, and A. haemanthoides demonstrated the presence of 1-3 B chromosomes with centromeres located in the median or subterminal position. Notably, the number of B chromosomes varied even among different accessions of the same species. Based on various indices, the karyotypes of the species were classified into symmetric and asymmetric groups. All karyotype asymmetry methods consistently identified A. stipitatum as the species with the most asymmetric chromosomes, while A. ubipetrense was recognized as the most symmetric species. This study contributes to the karyological knowledge of the genus Allium and provides valuable data for future taxonomic research. It emphasizes the significance of chromosomal characteristics in understanding plant evolution and species diversity within the Allium genus.
On the use of Fredlund gas–fluid compressibility relationship to model medium-dense gassy sand behavior

This paper presents the influence of gas bubbles trapped in a soil mass on the stress–strain–strength response of medium-dense sands. A hypoplastic constitutive sand model enhanced with the intergranular strain concept was coupled with the Fredlund gas–fluid compressibility relationship to capture gassy soil behavior. Boundary value element representations in a finite element platform of oedometer and saturated drained and undrained triaxial compression tests are performed for the calibration of soil parameters. For the numerical simulation of gassy soil behavior, pore fluid compressibility is modified to account for the presence of free gas in the pore fluid. The gassy soil mechanical response is studied by using only one set of parameters determined from the saturated soil response. The testing bed for this evaluation is a laboratory experimental program conducted on sands retrieved from the Oakridge Landfill, a sanitary landfill located in South Carolina, USA. The hypoplasticity sand model specialized with the Fredlund relationship reproduces reasonably well the stress–strain–strength response of these sands for a wide range of loading conditions and at a reasonable level of testing for the calibration of constitutive parameters. It is found that a slight reduction in the degree of saturation significantly decreases the undrained shear strength of the soil and causes changes in volume (i.e., drained-like behavior).
Long-Term Outcomes Following Single-Stage Reamed Intramedullary Exchange Nailing in Apparently Aseptic Femoral Shaft Nonunion with Unsuspected Proof of Bacteria

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate detection rates and risk factors for unsuspected proof of bacteria, as well as clinical and radiologic outcomes following femoral shaft nonunion without clinical signs of infection treated by a single-stage surgical revision procedure including reamed intramedullary exchange nailing. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in a European level I trauma center between January 2015 and December 2022. Fifty-eight patients were included who underwent reamed intramedullary exchange nailing as a single-step procedure for surgical revision of posttraumatic diaphyseal femoral nonunion without any indications of infection in medical history and without clinical signs of local infection. Clinical details of the patients were analyzed and functional and radiologic long-term outcomes were determined. Results: In all patients, with and without proof of bacteria osseous, healing could be observed. The physical component summary of the SF-12 demonstrated significantly better results at least one year after the final surgical revision in case of a negative bacterial culture during exchange nailing. Conclusions: Clinical long-term outcomes demonstrated a trend towards better results following femoral shaft nonunion revision if there was no evidence for the presence of low-grade infected nonunion. In this case, a single-stage surgical procedure may be recommended.
Vertical motion structure in tropical mesoscale convective systems

VERTICAL MOTION STRUCTURE IN TROPICAL MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS VHF wind profiler data were used to smdy the vertical draft structure within 13 tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) near Darwin, Australia during the wet season of 19891990 and 1990-1991. Single-Doppler radar and surface rainfall data were also utilized in order to correlate the reflectivity and surface rainfall patterns with the structure of the vertical air motion measured by the wind profiler during the passage of each system. Because of Darwin's unique location at the southern tip of the Maritime Continem, the wind profiler was able to observe vertical drafts in both the monsoon (maritime) and monsoon break (continental) convective regimes. The break regime MCSs (6 total) were all squall lines, characterized by a leading line of convection with intense precipitation and sharp horizontal reflectivity gradients. A prominent zone of weaker reflectivities and very light precipitation was observed to the rear of the convective line (transition zone) in most cases, as well as a region with relatively small horizomaI reflectivity gradients, light rainfall and a characteristic bright band marking the trailing stratiform region. In contrast, the monsoon systems (7 total) were characterized as relatively unorganized regions of stratiform cloud with embedded convective bands which moved on-shore in the monsoon flow. Results from the Darwin rain gauge network indicated that the vast majority of the total rainfall in

Purpose of the Study: This study sought to find out the influence of principals’ implementation strategies of Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) tool on the performance of teachers in public secondary schools in Kikuyu Constituency, Kiambu County. Teachers’ performance appraisal is one of the important processes in determining the performance of teachers in every country. In Kenya, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) introduced Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) tool in public schools to enable school principals to objectively evaluate teachers in their respective schools. Two research questions together with management by objectives theory guided the study. Statement of the Problem: In spite of the underpinning objective of the strategy in improving teachers’ performance, the implementation of TPAD has faced considerable resistance from teachers and their umbrella body, Kenya National Union of Teachers. Research Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey design with a blend of qualitative and quantitative paradigm. The concurrent triangulation design was adopted for the study. The study targeted all public secondary schools, principals, teachers, TSC County Directors, and Quality Assurance and Standards Officers (QASOs). Both probability and non-probability sampling procedures were used to determine different samples for the study. Probability sampling, in particular simple random sampling was adopted to select 12 public secondary schools; proportionate sampling was used to select 190 teachers from the sampled schools. Non-probability sampling mainly purposive sampling was used to select 12 principals, One TSC
