Oxfordian and late Callovian ammonite faunas and biostratigraphy of the Neuquén-Mendoza and Tarapacá basins (Jurassic, Ammonoidea, Western South America)

During the Jurassic Period in the western border of Gondwana settled the NeuquEn-Mendoza and Tarapac· basins, separated by theAntofagasta Land �. In these basins there is a thick record of marine rocks with ammonites of the interval late Callovian-late Oxfordian (considering the Oxfordian/Kimmeridgian boundary at the base of the Platynota Zone of the primary international chronostratigraphic The rocks of this interval are included in the Lotena, La Manga, Barda Negra (subsurface) and Auquilco formations. The ammonite faunas of the NeuquEn-Mendoza Basin, their stratigraphic distribution and their relationships with those of the Tarapac· Basin and other regions of the world were poorly known in this interval of the Jurassic. In this report are presented the results of the first comprehensive study of the ammonite faunas and their biostratigraphy in these basins. The name Araucanian Sea is here introduced for the marine system of the NeuquEn-Mendoza Basin, and Tarapac· Sea for the marine system of the homonymous basin. A W ierzbowski, Cubasphinctes Chudoley & Furrazola, Passsendorferia Brochwicz-Lewinski, Lithacosphinctes OlUriz, ? Orthosphinctes Schindewolf, and Araucanites Westermann & Riccardi (including A. prereyesi n. sp.). The biostratigraphic classification proposed is based on the subdivision of the interval in six first-occurrence-biozones (with the conjugated homonymous, non-standard chronozones): Patagoniense Bz. (index species: Rehmannia patagoniense; age: late Callovian), Pressulus Bz. (index species: Peltoceratoides pressulus; age: early Oxfordian), Pseudokranaus Bz. (index species: Subvinalesphinctes pseudokranaus; age: early middle Oxfordian, Plicatilis Zone), Passendorferia Bz. (index species: Passendorferia cf. teresiformis; age: middle Oxfordian, Transversarium - ? early Bifurcatus zones), Tarapacaense Bz. (index species: Euaspidoceras tarapacaense n. sp.; age: middle Oxfordian, Bifurcatus - early Bimammatum zones), and Desertorum Bz. (index species: Lithacosphinctes desertorum; age: late Oxfordian, Bimammatum - Planula zones). The Lithacosphinctes aff. janus Horizon is introduced, comprising beds of the lower part of the Auquilco Fm. in Chacay MelehuE and RahuecU. The Patagoniense Zone may be correlated with theAthleta � and Primus Zones of the Tarapac· Basin; the Pressulus Z. with the Dimorphosus, Eugenii and Dunkeri zones; the Pseudokranaus and Passendorferia zones with theTransversarium � Zone; the Tarapacaense and Desertorum zones are defined in the Tarapac· Basin and are represented in the NeuquEn- Mendoza Basin.
INFLUENCE OF TILLAGE AND WEED MANAGEMENT METHODS ON CHICKPEA (Cicer arietinum L.). I. YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS

An experiment was conducted at the Agricultural College farm Duhok University Iraq to study the effect of different methods of weed control on chickpea growth and yield during the growing season of 2009. Ploughs types included disc plow, mould board plow, and cultivator. Weed management practices involved hand hoeing, trifluraline (soil incorporated), Aloxy and paraquat. Results indicated that plough types had no significant effect on any traits of growth or yield of chickpea. Hand hoeing significantly gave highest seed yield and weight of 100 seeds which were 120.4 kg per Donum (1 Donum = 1000m2) and 30.8 g respectively. Both hand-hoeing and paraquat treatments were superior in number of primary branches (3.5 and 3.4), number of pods per plant (12.3 and 11) and hay yield per donum (363.9 and 318.2 kg), respectively. The interaction of hand hoeing with cultivator and mould board was significant for most of traits under study. In addition, the interaction of paraquat with cultivator was significant in plant height and height of the lowest pod traits which were 41.3 and 23.1 cm, respectively.
Mapping of debris-covered glaciers in the Garhwal Himalayas using ASTER DEMs and thermal data

Mapping of debris-covered glaciers using remote-sensing techniques is recognized as one of the greatest challenges for generating glacier inventories and automated glacier change analysis. The use of visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) bands does not provide sufficient continual information to detect debris-covered ice with remote-sensing data. This article presents a semi-automated mapping method for the debris-covered glaciers of the Garhwal Himalayas based on an Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) digital elevation model (DEM) and thermal data. Morphometric parameters such as slope, plan curvature and profile curvature were computed by means of the ASTER DEM and organized in similar surface groups using cluster analysis. A thermal mask was generated from a single band of an ASTER thermal image, while the clean-ice glaciers were identified using a band ratio based on ASTER bands 3 and 4. Vector maps were drawn up from the output of the cluster analysis, the thermal mask and the band ratio mask for the preparation of the final outlines of the debris-covered glaciers using geographic information system (GIS) overlay operations. The semi-automated mapped debris-covered glacier outline of Gangotri Glacier derived from 2006 ASTER data varied by about 5% from the manually outlined debris-covered glacier area of the Cartosat-1 high-resolution image from the same year. By contrast, outlines derived from the method developed using the 2001 ASTER DEM and Landsat thermal data varied by only 0.5% from manually digitized outlines based on Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS)-1C panchromatic (PAN) data. We found that post-depositional sedimentation by debris flow/mass movement was a great hindrance in the fully automated mapping of debris-covered glaciers in the polygenetic environment of the Himalayas. In addition, the resolution of ASTER stereo data and thermal band data limits the automated mapping of small debris-covered glaciers with adjacent end moraine. However, the results obtained for Gangotri Glacier confirm the strong potential of the approach presented.
Radar Monitoring in Sleep Medicine

An overnight sleep study can provide vital health diagnostics yet typically involves applying and monitoring multiple body-contact sensors, which can interfere with sleep and require cumbersome manual data analysis. Doppler radar technology has been demonstrated to provide a non-invasive means of measuring vital signs through clothing and bedding, including respiratory rate, heart rate, motion activity, body position, and tidal respiratory volume. This paper examines the potential for applying physiological radar to assess sleep apnea and intervention strategies.

Effect of Health Teaching Program on Promoting the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors of Women at the Reproductive Age Based on Pender’s Model

: Women with unhealthy lifestyle will threat their health status in long time and will enter into old age with a set of chronic disease and morbidity. One of the most important periods to be focused on it for promoting women’s health, is their reproductive age. Aim of the study: Was to determine the effect of health teaching program on promoting the healthy lifestyle behaviors of women at the reproductive age based on Pender’s model. Subjects and method: A quasi-experimental research design was utilized in this study. This study was conducted at maternal and child health (MCH) centers affiliated to the Ministry of Health in Tanta city, El-Gharbeya Governorate, Egypt. Study subjects: A convenient sample of 214 women at the reproductive age were included in the study. Three tools were used in this study. Tool I: Structured interview schedule: included the socio-demographic data and family history. Tool II: Health promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLPII): consisted of six sub-scales which encompassed the six healthy lifestyle dimensions (nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility, stress management, interpersonal relations, and spiritual growth). Tool III: Pender’s determinants of healthy behaviors among the studied women: consisted of four constructs of the Pender’s HPM (perceived benefits, perceived barriers, interpersonal influences, and perceived self-efficacy). Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the mean score of the total healthy lifestyle behaviors (HLBs) among the studied women throughout the study phases (P=0.001). Where, the mean score of their total score of HLBs improved from 52.40 ±5.86 pre-program intervention to 70.05±6.28 immediate post and 68.65±7.74 three months post-program intervention. Conclusion and recommendations: The health teaching program based on Pender’s model was effective and HLBs of the studied women at the reproductive age were improved. Therefore, health teaching programs based on Pender’s model should be planned and offered at regular basis to all women to improve their adherence to healthy lifestyle, particularly during the reproductive years.
Evaluation of the repeatability of male calves' birth weights in different grades of Jersey x Red Sindhi crosses

To assess the consistency of birth weight among male calves born to half-J x half-RS, quarter-J x ¾ RS, three-eighths Jersey x five-eighths RS, and one-eighth J x seven-eight RS cows. The SHUATS in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India obtained the data from a pedigree cum history sheet. Male calves born to 77 cows during the first (L1), second (L2), and third (L3) lactations, as well as 127 observations of Jersey x Red Sindhi cows of varying quality, were all measured and recorded in kilos. Increased reproducibility across many cross-breed dairy cow performance tiers indicates superiority. This research shows that choosing cows with higher estimations based on the birth weight. of their male calves can increase the output of herds. The mean of birth weight of male calves L1, L2, and L3 were 18.11, 20.15, 22.07 kg. of ½ J × ½ RS, 20.50, 19.88, 20.77 Kg f ¼ J × ¾ RS crosses, 20.06, 20.88, 22.24 kg. of 3/8 J × 5/8 RS, 19.08, 18.76, 22.83 kg of 1/8 J ×7/8 R.S proportionately. The ranges of birth weight of male calves from the Ist (L1), IInd (L2) and third (L3) lactations were 15.80 - 20.10, 15.80 - 26.6, 19.6 - 25.8 kg. of ½ J × ½ RS, 15.42 - 24.94, 14.51 - 25.70, 13.6 - 28.12 Kg. of ¼ J × ¾ R.S, 14.96 - 26.40, 16.32 - 24.30, 15.42 - 27.50 kg. of 3/8 J × 5/8 RS crosses, 15.87 - 24.23, 12.70 - 24.51, 18.14 - 25.80 kg. of 1/8 J ×7/8 RS respectively. The mean of birth weight of male calves was 20.13 kg. of ½ J × ½ RS, 17.68 Kg. of ¼ J × ¾ RS, 21.07 kg. of 3/8 J × 5/8 RS, 19.92 kg. of 1/8 J ×7/8 RS respectively. The highest birth weight of male calves were 25.8 Kg. and the lowest 15.80 Kg of ½ J × ½ R.S, 28.12 kg. highest and lowest 13.60 kg. of ¼ J × ¾ RS, 27.50 kg at highest and lowest 14.96 kg of 3/8 J × 5/8 RS, 25.8 kg at highest and lowest 12.70 kg. of 1/8 J ×7/8 RS, respectively. The repeatability of birth weight of male calves for 0.60 ± 0.20 of ½ J × ½ RS, 0.46 ± 0.19 of ¼ J × ¾ RS, 0.78 ± 0.15 of 3/8 J × 5/8 RS, 0.57 ± 0.15 of 1/8 J ×7/8 RS. The more repeatability for various grades of crossbred dairy cattle shows better performance.
GraphPNAS: Learning Probabilistic Graph Generators for Neural Architecture Search

Neural architectures can be naturally viewed as computational graphs. Motivated by this perspective, we, in this paper, study neural architecture search (NAS) through the lens of learning random graph models. In contrast to existing NAS methods which largely focus on searching for a single best architecture, i.e . , point estimation, we propose GraphPNAS , a deep graph generative model that learns a distribution of well-performing architectures. Relying on graph neural networks (GNNs), our GraphPNAS can better capture topologies of good neural architectures and relations between operators therein. Moreover, our graph generator leads to a learnable probabilistic search method that is more ﬂexible and eﬃcient than the commonly used RNN generator and random search methods. Finally, we learn our generator via an eﬃcient reinforcement learning formulation for NAS. To assess the eﬀectiveness of our GraphPNAS, we conduct extensive experiments on three search spaces, including the challenging RandWire on Tiny-ImageNet, ENAS on CIFAR10, and NAS-Bench-101/201. The complexity of RandWire is signiﬁcantly larger than other search spaces in the literature. We show that our proposed graph generator consistently outperforms RNN based one and achieves better or comparable performances than state-of-the-art NAS methods. We open source our code here: https://github.com/DSL-Lab/GraphPNAS .
The evaluation of tear production and dry eye symptoms in patients with osteoporosis

Aims: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mass, compromised bone density and strength. Dry eye is a common disease of the ocular surface characterized by tear film instability with ocular discomfort, pain, and visual disturbances. Both conditions share risk factors, including age, gender, and hormonal factors. In this study, our aim is to assess the tear production and dry eye symptoms in patients with osteoporosis and compare their results a control group without osteoporosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 32 osteoporosis patients and 30 age-matched controls without osteoporosis. Tear production was assessed using Schirmer test and the symptoms of dry eye using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. The results of both groups were compared. Results: The mean age of the osteoporosis group was 61.4±4.9 years, and the mean age of the control group was 57.7±6.4 years (p:0.224). The Schirmer test results were 12.3±7.4 mm for the osteoporosis group and 23.1±13.7 mm for the control group. The Schirmer test results were significantly lower in the osteoporosis group (p:0.009). The mean OSDI scores for the osteoporosis group was 30.4±23.1 while it was 20.6±14.6 for the control group. The difference was not statistically significant (p:0.329). Conclusion: This study reveals a potential connection between osteoporosis and dry eye. Patients with osteoporosis have lower tear production compared to control group without osteoporosis. Further research is necessary to understand this relationship and its implications.
DP-LFlow: Differentially Private Latent Flow for Scalable Sensitive Image Generation

Privacy concerns grow with the success of modern deep learning models, especially when the training set contains sensitive data. Differentially private generative model (DPGM) can serve as a solution to circumvent such concerns by generating data that are distributionally similar to the original data yet with differential privacy (DP) guarantees. While GAN has attracted major attention, existing DPGMs based on flow generative models are limited and only developed on low-dimensional tabular datasets. The capability of exact density estimation makes the flow model exceptional when density estimation is of interest. In this work, we will first show that it is challenging (or even infeasible) to train a DP-flow via DP-SGD, i.e. the workhorse algorithm for private deep learning, on high-dimensional image sets with acceptable utility, and then we give an effective solution by reducing the generation from the pixel space to a lower dimensional latent space. We show the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed method via extensive experiments, where the proposed method achieves a significantly better privacy-utility trade-off compared to existing alternatives. Notably, our method is the first DPGM to scale to high-resolution image sets (up to 256 × 256). Our code is available at https://github.com/dihjiang/DP-LFlow .
Teaching teamwork: an evaluation of an interprofessional training ward placement for health care students

: The establishment of interprofessional teamwork training in the preprofessional health care curriculum is a major challenge for teaching faculties. Interprofessional clinical placements offer an opportunity for teamwork education, as students in various professions can work and learn together. In this sequential, mixed-method study, focus group and survey techniques were used to evaluate students’ educational experiences after 2-week ward-based interprofessional clinical placements. Forty-five senior nursing, medicine, and other health care students cared for patients in hospital wards under professional supervision, with nursing-medicine student “teams” leading care. Thirty-six students attended nine exit focus groups. Five central themes that emerged about training were student autonomy and workload, understanding of other professional roles, communication and shared knowledge, interprofessional teamwork/ collaboration, and the “inner circle”, or being part of the unit team. The learning environment was described as positive. In a postplacement satisfaction survey (n = 38), students likewise rated the educational experience highly. In practicing teamwork and collaboration, students were able to rehearse their future professional role. We suggest that interprofessional clinical placements be regarded as an essential learning experience for senior preprofessional students. More work is needed to fully understand the effect of this interactive program on students’ clinical learning and preparation for practice.
Effect of Educational Instructions Regarding Self Care of Women with Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema

: Breast cancer related lymphedema represents a major complication of breast cancer treatment, impacting the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Patients with lymphedema need to conduct lifelong self-care activities to control the progression of swelling, manage lymphedema-associated symptom burden, and minimize long term negative outcomes. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of educational instructions regarding self-care of women with breast cancer related lymphedema. Study design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized to conduct this study. Setting: This study was conducted in the outpatient breast clinic at Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Center, affiliated to Ain Shams University Hospitals. Subjects: A purposive sample of 50 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer related lymphedema, post mastectomy, treated with radiotherapy free from any other dysfunctional disabilities that might interfere with self-care and didn't receive any instructions regarding breast cancer related lymphedema. Data collection tools: A structured interview questionnaire for women with breast cancer related lymphedema, lymphedema scale, lymphedema functioning, disability and health questionnaire, upper limb functional index and lymphedema self-care practices questionnaire. Results: The mean age of the studied women was 47.71±71.16, and 88% of them had satisfactory level of total knowledge post implementation of self-care educational instructions, also; 92% of them had adequate level of total lymphedema self-care practices post implementation of self-care educational instructions. Conclusion: The implementation of educational instructions regarding self-care for women with breast cancer related lymphedema has a statistically significant positive effect on their knowledge and self-care practices. Recommendation: Self-care educational instructions should be added to the routine nursing care delivered to those women in all breast cancer treatment units and should be updated periodically in order to enhance their knowledge and self-care practices.
