Prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism in the Cenozoic Abanico Formation, Andes of central Chile (33º50'S): chemical and scale controls on mineral assemblages, reaction progress and the equilibrium state

In the El Volcan and Rodeo de los Bueyes areas, Andean Principal Cordillera (east of Santiago; 33o50'S), an Upper Oligocene-Lower Miocene volcanic series belonging to the Abanico Formation (Late Eocene-Early Miocene) is exposed. The rock successions outcropping in both areas, ca. 3,300 m total thickness, have been affected by very low-grade, non-deformative metamorphism in the prehnite-pumpellyite facies. This is represented by the widespread development of secondary mineral assemblages composed of epidote, mixed-layer chlorite-smectite, albite, quartz, white mica, and titanite. These mineral assemblages also contain pumpellyite, prehnite or prehnite+actinolite in a few samples. Chemical characteristics, such as low compositional variability of mixed-layer chlorite-smectite and actino- lite independent from the metadomain where these phases are hosted, along with a high proportion of chlorite layers in the former, suggest that these phases closely represent the whole rock effective bulk composition. On the contrary, pumpellyite compositions show a higher variability and a strong metadomain control evidencing its lower equilibration kinetics and leaving only those that grow in the rock matrix as the more closely representative of a whole rock effective bulk compositional control. Mineral assemblages from both areas show evidence of having been formed during the same metamorphic event where reactions have ocurred equivalently between them. However, local differences in chemical variables controlling this process are recognizable. A higher CO 2 concentration in the fluids during the metamorphism in the El Volcan area than in the Rodeo de los Bueyes area is suggested by the scarce development of prehnite and the ubiquitous presence of calcite in the metamorphic assemblages of the former. Pressure and temperature of this meta- morphic event have been roughly estimated to be lower than 2-3 kbar and 320oC, respectively.
Helicobacter Pylori: Prevalence and Relationship to Hematological Parameters of Symptomatic Patients who Conducted Gastroscopy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most important public health problems worldwide. The study was done to determine the epidemiology of H. pylori, and its relation to the hematological parameters of symptomatic patients who conducted upper gastrointestinal (GIT) endoscopy at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was done during the academic year 2016/2017. All records of the eligible cases who complained from GIT manifestations, and conducted upper GIT Original Research Article Ibrahim et al.; JAMMR, 28(9): 1-9, 2018; Article no.JAMMR. 44973 2 endoscopy at KAUH (during 2015) were assessed. Only cases with samples taken from the gastric mucosa and examined by the Rapid Urease Test (RUT) were included. Results of two sets of Complete Blood Count (CBC) before and 6 months after treatment of H. pylori were taken. Cases were interviewed at 2017 for follow-up. Results: Two-thousand patients’ files were reviewed with a 29.5% prevalence of H. pylori. The most frequently reported clinical presentation of H. pylori was epigastric pain (54.3%). Males had a significantly higher rate of infection compared to females. H. pylori was associated with gastric ulcer and gastritis. There was no association between H. pylori and the hematological parameters of patients. Treatment of H. pylori caused a little increase in RBCs & hemoglobin level. Conclusions: Nearly thirty percent of the symptomatic patients who conducted upper gastroendoscopy at KAUH were infected with H. pylori. Infection was associated with gastritis and gastric ulcer. There is no association between H. pylori and hematological parameters. Screening and management of symptomatic cases for H. pylori is recommended.
EFFECT OF SLOW RELEASE NITROGEN FERTILIZERS ON PRODUCTIVITY AND QUALITY OF POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.).

The present investigation was carried out at Baramoon Research Station, Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt (+ 7m altitude, 30o 11- latitude and 28o 26- longitude), during Nili seasons of 2007/08 and 2008/09, to study the effect of slow release-N (urea formaldehyde "UF"; Sulfur coated urea "SCU", and compost) as compared with soluble-N (ammonium nitrate "AN") fertilizer on productivity, and quality of potato cv. Cara.The most important finding could be summarized as follows: Compost 9 ton fed-1plus SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 led to significant increase in all vegetative growth parameters of potato plants (plant height, leaf area/plant and dry weight/plant) in both seasons. Significant differences were detected in total tuber yield and yield components among various treatments in both seasons. Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1andSCU1 135 kg N fed-1had significant effect in this respect. Application of Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 significantly increased tuber dry matter (in both season), starch and specific gravity of tuber (1st season, only) and significantly decreased nitrate and nitrite content of tuber (both season), in comparison with other treatments. The NPK % of potato tubers in treatment amended with Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 was higher than with other treatments in two seasons. On the other hand, the greatest value of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) was obtained by the application of SCU1 followed by UF2. The highest net return was obtained from potato receiving Compost 9 ton fed-1 + SCU3 67.5 kg N fed-1 in comparison with other treatments. Generally, it could be concluded that, application of nitrogen fertilizer in the form of Compost at the rate of 9 ton fed-1+ SCU3 (67.5 kg N fed-1) in potato fields was the most effective treatment for satisfactory improvements in productivity and quality yields with keeping the health and safety of human and environment.

Wall Representations of Rectangular Dissections and Their Use in Automated Space Allocation

A procedure is described which generates dissections of rectangles into rectangular components in order to obtain solutions to space-allocation problems which arc restricted through topological and dimensional constraints, Solutions are generated in two steps: step 1 determines basic geometric properties of the arrangements to be produced, and step 2 computes the dimensions of the spaces in such an arrangement. Both steps are based on ‘wall representations’ of the solutions. These representations allow geometric relations and operations to be transformed into relations and operations defined on character strings. They furthermore allow the (possibly infinite) set of solutions to be systematically searched for a finite set of ‘principal options’. The importance of linear-programming techniques for step 2 is described.

Vibration Analysis in Turbomachines Using Machine Learning Techniques

This study proposes a method for diagnosing faults in turbomachines using machine learning techniques. In this study, a support vector machine-SVM algorithm is proposed for fault diagnosis of rotor rotation imbalance. Recently, support vector machines (SVMs) have become one of the most popular classification methods in vibration analysis technology. Axis unbalance defect is classified using support vector machines. The experimental data is derived from the turbomachine model of the rigid-shaft rotor and the flexible bearings, and the experimental setup for vibration analysis. Several situations of unbalance defects have been successfully detected.

Relationship of social anxiety and parental rearing style and self-esteem among medical freshman students

Objective To explore the relatianship of social anxiety and parental rearing style and self-es-teem among medical students, and to provide theoretical guidance for students' mental health. Methods 346 medical students were assessed with interaction anxiousness scale(IAS), Egala minnen on bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU) and self-esteem scale (SES). Results Medical students' social anxiety was negatively correlated with emotional warmth and understanding of parents (FF1, MFI) (r=-0.162,-0.150, P<0.01) and self-esteem (r -0.355, P <0.01), and positively correlated with mother's over-interference, over-protection, refusal, rejection and favoring subject(MF2, MF3, MF5) (r=0.137,0.127,0.116, P<0.05). Stepwise regression analysis re-vealed that father's warmth and understanding and father's over-protection and self-esteem enter regression equa-tion and adjusted R square was 0.047 and 0.123. Conclusion The medical students' social anxiety was influ-enced by EMBU and SES, but the level was lower. Key words: Social anxiety ; Parental rearing style ; Self-esteem ; Medical students ;
Respiratory viral infections by Non-influenza viruses are associated with more adverse clinical outcome in patients with underlying liver disease: a single centre laboratory based study.

Background Respiratory viral infections are an important cause of acute respiratory tract infections. They are caused by both Influenza and non influenza viruses. Respiratory viral infections are known to be associated with severe clinical outcome especially in the critically ill. A constant surveillance is needed for early etiological identification which can help in timely and appropriate management and will further help in prevention of indiscriminate use of antibiotics in patients with viral etiology. Methods In this retrospective study, clinical records of all adult liver disease patients with clinically confirmed ARI, whose request for respiratory viral testing were received in the virology laboratory during September 2016 - March 2019 were reviewed. Respiratory viruses were identified by real time PCR on FilmArray 2.0 instrument (BioFire Diagnostics, Utah, USA) using Respiratory panel as per the manufacturer's instructions. Results Of the 603 patients of liver disease with clinically confirmed influenza like illness, over all incidence of respiratory viral infection was 24.3% (n= 147). Infections by non-influenza viruses (87, 59.1%) were more than influenza group of viruses. Mortality was higher in non influenza group (43, 49.4%) as compared to influenza (24, 40%) [p=0.015] being maximum in Rhinovirus, 22 (32.8%). Two peaks were observed in both influenza and non influenza groups, first in the months of January and February and the other one in August and October. Conclusion With the emergence of SARS- CoV-2 it has now become imperative for a constant surveillance of the non influenza viruses for early etiological identification of the respiratory viral infection for proper and timely management in the critically ill.
Early clinical characteristics of Covid-19: scoping review

ABSTRACT Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) pandemic has spread rapidly across the globe. Accurate clinical characterisation studies are essential to informing research, diagnosis and clinical management efforts, particularly early in a pandemic. In this scoping review we identify the clinical characteristics of patients admitted to hospital in the early months of the pandemic, focusing on symptoms, laboratory and imaging findings, and clinical outcomes. Methods: A scoping review. MEDLINE, EMBASE and Global Health databases were searched studies published from January 1st 2020 to April 28th 2020. Studies which reported on at least 100 hospitalised patients with covid-19 of any age were included. Results: Of 1,249 studies identified through the search 78 studies were eligible for inclusion; one randomized control trial and 77 observational studies presenting data on 77,443 patients admitted with covid-19. Most studies were conducted in China (82%), 9% in the US and 10% in Europe and two studies were set in more than one country. No studies included patients from low and middle income countries. Coagulopathy was underrecognised as a complication in the early months of the pandemic. Use of corticosteroids varied widely, and the use of anticoagulants was reported in only one study. Fever, cough and dyspnoea are less common in older adults; gastrointestinal symptoms, as the only presenting feature may be underrecognised. The most common laboratory finding was lymphocytopenia. Inflammatory biomarkers were commonly elevated, including C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. Typical computed tomography findings include bilateral infiltrates however imaging may be normal in early disease. Data on clinical characteristics in children and vulnerable populations were limited. Conclusions: Clinical characterisation studies from early in the pandemic indicated that covid-19 is a multisystem disease, with biomarkers indicating inflammation and coagulopathy. However, early data collection on symptoms and clinical outcomes did not consistently reflect this wide spectrum. Corticosteroid use varied widely, and anticoagulants were rarely used. Clinicians should remain vigilant to the possibility of covid-19 in patients presenting without fever, cough and dyspnoea, particularly in older adults. Further characterisation studies in different at-risk populations is needed.

Logical Foundations of Proof Complexity: INDEX

This book treats bounded arithmetic and propositional proof complexity from the point of view of computational complexity. The first seven chapters include the necessary logical background for the material and are suitable for a graduate course. Associated with each of many complexity classes are both a two-sorted predicate calculus theory, with induction restricted to concepts in the class, and a propositional proof system. The result is a uniform treatment of many systems in the literature, including Buss's theories for the polynomial hierarchy and many disparate systems for complexity classes such as AC0, AC0(m), TC0, NC1, L, NL, NC, and P.
The Developmental Test Scheduling Problem

Developmental testing of aircraft systems in the United States Air Force requires a complex set of resources for each test. The optimal scheduling of those resources is the job of the 412 Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base. With more than 20 different Combined Task Forces requesting resources for roughly 300 flying missions each week, manual scheduling is a difficult task. The current process takes a team of schedulers several days to get a workable result from which they can start tailoring the final schedule. While concepts and techniques can be taken from industry scheduling problems, the body of knowledge as it relates to developmental test scheduling is sparse. The contribution of this paper is to initially document the Developmental Test Scheduling Problem, define it in structured terms for which a solution methodology can be designed, and present an Integer Programming based solution. The design allows for a scheduler to tailor an initial answer to fit nuanced and timely objectives and constraints. For this prototype effort the problem is scoped to the “Iron” Resources while bearing in mind the extensibility of the approach to “Range” Resources. This study and prototype will demonstrate results that will create an initial schedule in several hours and serve as a good starting point for the final schedule.
Compiling effect handlers in capability-passing style

Effect handlers encourage programmers to abstract over repeated patterns of complex control flow. As of today, this abstraction comes at a significant price in performance. In this paper, we aim to achieve abstraction without regret for effect handlers. We present a language for effect handlers in _capability-passing style_ (λCap) and an implementation of this language as a translation to simply-typed lambda calculus in _iterated continuation-passing style_. A suite of benchmarks indicates that the novel combination of capability-passing style and iterated CPS enables significant speedups over existing languages with effect handlers or control operators. Our implementation technique is general and allows us to generate code in any language that supports first-class functions. We then identify a subset of programs for which we can further improve the performance and guarantee full elimination of the effect handler abstraction. To formally capture this subset, we refine λCap to λ λCap with a more restrictive type system. We present a type-directed translation for λ λCap that inserts staging annotations and prove that no abstractions or applications related to effect handlers occur in the translated program. Using this second translation we observe additional speedups in some of the benchmarks.
Skills and Competencies for Effective Academic Advising and Personal Tutoring

Advising/personal tutoring has moved from the fringes of higher education to the center of student success initiatives. Advising professionals serve as faculty members, mentors, student advocates, and campus leaders. Drawing upon data from an empirical investigation regarding the professionalization of academic advising, we examine the critical aspects related to performing effective academic advising and personal tutoring. Using directed qualitative content analysis, data were examined for evidence of professional values, professional skills, professional behaviors, training, and continuing professional education and development. We consider the findings in comparison to NACADA’s Core Values, the John N. Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education in support of student success by promoting excellence in academic advising (EAA), NACADA’s Core Competencies of Academic Advising, Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) Standards, UKAT Professional Framework for Advising and Tutoring, and United Kingdom’s National Occupational Standards.
Dynamic Changes in Antithyroperoxidase and Antithyroglobulin Antibodies Suggest an Increased Risk for Abnormal Thyrotropin Levels

Background: Antithyroperoxidase (TPOAb) and antithyroglobulin (TgAb) antibodies are associated with abnormal thyrotropin (TSH) levels. However, the effect of dynamic changes in TPOAb and TgAb on incident abnormal TSH is unknown. Methods: A total of 2,387 euthyroid participants aged 18 years or older from three rural areas in northern China were enrolled in this cohort study. Questionnaire interviews and laboratory measurements were performed at baseline in 1999 and at follow-up in 2004. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between changes in thyroid antibodies and incident abnormal TSH levels. Results: In this 5 year follow-up study, TPOAb tier gain was significantly associated with an increased risk of subnormal TSH levels (adjusted RR, 1.535; 95% CI: 1.357–1.736) and supranormal TSH levels (adjusted RR, 1.378; 95% CI: 1.196–1.587), and TgAb tier gain was significantly associated with an increased risk of supranormal (adjusted RR, 1.090; 95% CI: 1.007–1.179) TSH levels. Both thyroid antibody-positive seroconversion and persistent positivity were significantly associated with an increased risk of incident abnormal TSH levels. Thyroid antibody positive seroconversion was associated with a higher risk of incident subnormal TSH than incident supranormal TSH, whereas persistent positive thyroid antibody was associated with a higher risk of incident supranormal TSH than incident subnormal TSH. Conclusions: Dynamic thyroid antibody changes may be related to incident abnormal TSH levels. Those with persistent positive thyroid antibody were more likely to have supranormal TSH than subnormal TSH, and those with positive seroconversion were more likely to have subnormal TSH than supranormal TSH. Further studies are needed to confirm this conclusion and to explore this association mediated by TSH receptor antibodies.
