Photodissociation branching ratios for several absorption bands of 12C16O from 108,500 to 109,220 cm−1

In the present study, photodissociation branching ratios are measured with optimised experimental conditions for the 12C16O absorption bands with upper states of I′(5sσ) 1Σ+(v′ = 1), (6sσ) 1Σ+(v′ = 0) and (6pπ) 1Π(v′ = 0), which were not observed in the recent study covering the titled energy range (J. Chem. Phys. 137, 034305 (2012)). The absorption band with the upper state of (6pσ) 1Σ+(v′ = 0) has been reinvestigated, and a weak dependence of branching ratios into the spin-forbidden channels on the rotational quantum number is observed. In addition to these relatively strong absorption bands, two weak bands have also been identified in the C+ ion photofragment spectra, one with well rotationally resolved 1Π character and has never been observed before, and the other with diffuse structure and its upper state was assigned as C′1Σ+(v′ = 9) before in spectroscopic studies. Except for the two newly observed weak absorption bands, the four strong absorption bands all predominantly dissociate into the ground channel C(3P)+O(3P). By far, we have finished measuring the photodissociation branching ratios for all the strong 12C16O absorption bands of astrophysical importance above the photon energy of 102,700 cm−1. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Family policy support for the earner-carer and traditional family models: An application of SPIN data to Lithuania and Sweden, 1995-2015

Family policies influence how men and women structure their time in the labour market and in the home. Analyses based on expenditure data, regime types and single policies, however, cannot represent how policies support individuals’ labour market attachment and care for children. SPIN data offer a tool for measuring the extent to which family policies support the earner-carer and traditional family models. This large-scale database offers harmonized data on social policies over time for a wide range of countries. It has allowed scholars to empirically push the frontiers of research on the intersection of gender equality, family and employment dynamics, and social policy. We use the cases of Lithuania and Sweden to describe how measures of earner-carer and traditional-family support were constructed and compare the policy developments over time. We highlight areas of convergence and divergence in family policy in these two countries with very different histories.
Sense of Coherence: Learning to live with chronic illness through health education

Objective: This study examines people’s experiences of how to live with a chronic disease, their learning needs and their reasons for participating in a health education programme. The aim of the study was to examine if and how a Sense of Coherence (SOC) might guide an understanding of learning processes in health education. Methods: This study has a qualitative study design with data collected through five group interviews. Interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify principal categories of response. Directed content analysis was then used to reference the categories emerging in the first step to the study’s theoretical framework. Results: Three main categories were found: (1) the ability to cope with daily life, (2) assets for a better life both in the present and for the future, and (3) the need for knowledge. A synthesis of empirical findings with reference to the first stage of analysis, the three main aspects of learning, and the three dimensions of a SOC revealed that a SOC may be useful in guiding an understanding of learning processes in health education as a life-oriented mastering resource. Conclusion: SOC offers a useful framework for informing health education. Research is needed to deepen an understanding of how salutogenic theory can strengthen the development of health education programmes and understanding of participants’ learning.
Decentralized AC Optimal Power Flow for Integrated Transmission and Distribution Grids

The coordinated solution of AC optimal power flow (ACOPF) in the integrated transmission and distribution grid utilizes controllable energy resources in distribution grids for introducing additional operational economy and security benefits of power grids. However, it is rather impractical to compute the ACOPF centrally considering the information privacy in the operation of transmission and distribution grids. Due to the large capacity of distributed generators integrated to distribution grids, existing decentralized methods may encounter numerical problems and fail to converge when nonlinear ACOPF models are applied. In this paper, we propose a decentralized method to solve the ACOPF for integrated transmission and distribution grids. The proposed ACOPF model is characterized through polar-coordinate equations and branch flow equations for transmission grids and distribution grids respectively. A distribution-cost-correction framework is developed for a fast-convergent solution which is based on approximated distribution cost functions. A rigorous proof is provided for convergence and numerical simulations are analyzed for standard IEEE systems which demonstrate the advantages of the coordinated approach in reducing generation dispatch costs and mitigating overvoltage problems. The paper validates through simulations that the accuracy, computational efficiency, and scalability of the proposed approach are superior to those of traditional methods.
Central uprising sheet in simultaneous and near-simultaneous impact of two high kinetic energy droplets onto dry surface and thin liquid film

Droplet impact on both dry and wet surfaces is present in several applications, and often multiple droplets, instead of one single droplet, are involved. This paper focuses on the problem of two-droplet impingement on dry and wet surfaces with two Weber numbers (We) of 115 and 230, corresponding to two Reynolds numbers (Re) of 6100 and 8620, respectively. We study impact dynamics phenomena, compare simultaneous and time-delayed impact dynamics of two droplets, and investigate the time evolution of a central uprising sheet formed between the two droplets impinged on dry or wet surfaces, a problem that has been barely studied. A central uprising sheet forms between two impinging droplets at sufficiently high Re and We and short droplet to droplet spacing (high kinetic energy at the point of spread contact). Three different shapes for the central uprising sheet are observed for two droplet impact on a dry surface with various time delays: ordered two-dimensional (2D) semilunar shape (vertical and inclined), curved or C-shaped three-dimensional (3D) shape, and irregular splash. Our experiments show that the central uprising sheet undergoes splashing under conditions not predicted by existing correlations; also, during the early formation of the central uprising sheet, the effect of gravity force on the sheet evolution is negligible. Mixing and surface waves are also studied, taking advantage of liquids with three different colors.Droplet impact on both dry and wet surfaces is present in several applications, and often multiple droplets, instead of one single droplet, are involved.

The effects of different methods of zinc application on canola seed yield and oil content

Abstract Zinc (Zn) as a microelement plays a salient role in the vital processes of plants such as metabolism and nutrition. This experimental study was conducted in the research field of Agriculture Faculty, Zanjan University using two genotypes of canola as main factor (Okapi and Tassilo) and zinc fertilizer application method in 7 levels including control, foliar spraying (2, 3.5, and 5 g/L) at the beginning of flowering and soil application (25, 50, and 75 kg/ha) were considered as sub-plot factor. The results showed that the application of zinc significantly increased the chlorophyll content as compared to control treatment. The highest chlorophyll content was observed in foliar spraying of 3.5 and 5 g/L zinc in Okapi cultivar. While, the highest value of RWC content resulted only with spraying 5 g/L of zinc. The result showed that zinc foliar of 5 g/L obtained the highest oil and seed yields and seed yield components. In addition, the highest qualitative seed traits (oil and protein content and zinc content in seed and plant) resulted with spraying 5 g/L of zinc. Also, Okapi cultivar had more quantitative and qualitative yields than Tassilo cultivar. The foliar spray of 5 g/L Zn can be recommended to increase the quantity and quality seed yield of canola.
Detection of False Data Injection Cyber-Attacks in DC Microgrids Based on Recurrent Neural Networks

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Nowadays, the detection of cyber-attacks in microgrids as examples of CPS has become an important topic due to their wide use in various practical applications from renewable energy plants to power distribution and electric transportation. In this article, we propose a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for the detection of cyber-attacks in direct current (dc) microgrids and also the identification of the attacked distributed energy resource (DER) unit. The proposed method works based on the time-series analysis and a nonlinear auto-regressive exogenous model (NARX) neural network, which is a special type of recurrent neural network for estimating dc voltages and currents. In the proposed method, we consider the effect of cyber-attacks named false data injection attacks (FDIAs), which try to affect the accurate voltage regulation and current sharing by affecting voltage and current sensors. In the presented strategy, first, a dc microgrid is operated and controlled without any FDIAs to gather enough data during the normal operation required for the training of NARX neural networks. It is worth mentioning that in the data generation process, load changing is also considered to have distinguishing data sets for load changing and cyber-attack scenarios. Trained and fine-tuned NARX neural networks are exploited in an online manner to estimate the output dc voltages and currents of DER units in dc microgrid. Then, based on the error of estimation, the cyber-attack is detected. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, offline digital time-domain simulation studies are performed on a test dc microgrid system in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results are verified using real-time simulations using the OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator (RTDS).
Neglected old posterior dislocation of elbow: Treatment and results of open reduction

Neglected old dislocations of elbow are found only in developing countries in significant numbers and there is very less literature of this condition from developed countries. It is a huge challenge for orthopaedic surgeons in developing countries as even after treatment it is difficult to achieve full range of motion and function in a neglected case. In this article we report treatment and results of one of the largest series of 15 cases on neglected posterior elbow dislocation. Our management protocol was opening joint through posterior approach and using Speed Technique doing a V-Y plasty for tricep and most of times fixing reduced joint by 2 diverging k wires. At one year follow up
Prediction of Youth and Adult Recidivism Among Spanish Juveniles Involved in Serious Offenses

This study analyzes the predictive validity of the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) for youth and adult recidivism in a Spanish juvenile sample. Participants’ age ranged between 14 and 18.09 years old (N = 264) and 82% were boys and all had been sentenced to probation and custody centers. Data on juvenile and young adult recidivism were collected for the sample with mean follow-up periods of 13.74 and 20.19 months, respectively. The area under the curve, Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression survival analyses were each conducted to check for predictive validity. The findings demonstrated that the YLS/CMI is able to predict recidivism in both the juvenile period and the emerging adult period in a different cultural context. Prior Offenses and Education/Employment emerged as significant predictors for youth and young adult recidivism. The entire YLS/CMI is therefore an effective tool for risk classification in a different cultural sample.
Detection of virulence genes of Salmonella in diarrhoeic ducks by using Polymerase chain reaction

Salmonella spp. is responsible for various foodborne outbreaks. Incidence of Salmonella among the examined diarrheic ducks was 5.5%. The occurrence was 6.15% in young ducks which was higher than that in adult duck 4.28%. The total incidence of Salmonella in slaughtered ducks was 3.33%. The serovars were S.Infants, S. Typhimurium , S. Virchow from fecal samples of adult ducks and S. Agona, S. Infants, 2 S. Kentucky, 2 S. longhorn, S. Typhimurium and S. Virchow in fecal samples of young ducks while from slaughtered ducks were (S. Kentucky and S. Typhimurium from both caeci and intestines and S. Typhimurium from livers ). Variation in pathogenicity and enterotoxin production of Salmonella isolates were observed. Sensitivity of salmonellae to ciprofloxacin, flumequine were 56.3%, enrofloxacin , gentamicin and norfloxacin were 50% and trimethoprim was 18.8%. All isolates were resistant to doxycycline hydrochloride and penicillin . All isolates from diarrheic and slaughtered ducks harbor invA gene and amplified at 284bp. Sixteen Salmonella isolates examined for pef gene at 700bp that was present in 2 S. Typhimurium, S. Agona and S. Kentucky isolated from diarrheic ducks and 2 S. Kentucky isolated from slaughtered ducks. Finally we investigate the presence of stn gene that was encoded on plasmid DNA and amplified a region 617bp in 16 isolates of Salmonella 2 S. Typhimurium, 2 S. Virchow, S. Agona, S. Infant, 2 S. Kentucky and S. longhorn isolated from diarrheic ducks while 2 S. Kentucky isolated from slaughtered ducks harbored this gene.
Prader-Willi Syndrome: an under-recognized cause of hypotonia?

The “floppy infant” is a well-recognized entity characterized by general­ized hypotonia presenting at birth or in early life. Hypotonia represents a diagnostic challenge because it may be the presentation sign of numerous diseases, as central or peripheral nervous system abnormalities, myopathies, genetic disorders, endocrinopathies, metabolic diseases and acute/chronic illness. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that results from an abnormality in chromosome 15. Diagnosis is often delayed because clinical findings are relatively nonspecific and the dysmorphism is often subtle. We describe three term male newborns admitted in the first day of life for hypotonia and feeding difficulties. Pregnancy and familiar history were unremarkable. Clinical examination revealed marked global hypotonia, few active movements, weak cry, poor suck reflex, micrognathia, cryptorchidism, facial dysmorphic features: almond-shaped eyes with short palpebral fissures, narrow bifrontal diameter and short neck. Laboratory evaluations were normal. Brain ultrasound and magnetic resonance had no alterations. Cardiac and metabolic evaluations were irrelevant. PWS was suspected and genetic evaluation was performed. The methylation analysis specific for PWS confirmed the diagnosis. In the three cases it was observed development milestones delay, with progressive improvement after multidisciplinary approach. At last follow-up visit, all of them walk alone, explore the surrounding environment, understand simple language and say some words. These reports reinforce the idea that PWS should be considered in the presence of newborn hypotonia, and feeding difficulties, even in absence of typical facial features. Detecting PWS at neonatal age is important because it allows early intervention and better management of such infants.
On the Term Structure of Liquidity in the European Sovereign Bond Market

The paper provides a high-frequency analysis of liquidity dynamics in the eurozone sovereign bond market over tranquil and crisis periods. We study time series of liquidity across the yield curve using high-frequency data from MTS, one of Europe’s leading electronic fixed-income trading platforms. We document flight-to-liquidity effects as investors prefer to trade on shorter-term benchmarks during liquidity dry-ups. We provide evidence of significant commonalities in spread and depth liquidity proxies which are weaker during the crisis period for both core and periphery economies although periphery countries display higher commonality than core countries during the crisis. We show that illiquidity of the periphery countries plays an important role in market dynamics and Granger causes illiquidity, volatility, returns, and CDS spreads across the maturity spectrum in both calm and crisis periods. Liquidity is priced both as a characteristic and as a risk factor even when controlling for credit risk, pointing to liquidity’s systematic dimension and importance.
A Nonisolated Bidirectional DC–DC Converter With High Voltage Conversion Ratio Based on Coupled Inductor and Switched Capacitor

In this article, a nonisolated bidirectional dc–dc converter is proposed based on coupled inductor (CL) and switched capacitor (SC). The converter can achieve a high voltage conversion ratio (VCR) by using CL and SC. The CL is operated not only as a filter inductor to regulate voltage but also as a transformer to improve the VCR. Furthermore, the voltage stresses of capacitors and switches are reduced by introducing SC structure. The pulsewidth modulation plus phase-shift control is employed, where the duty cycle is used to ensure that the voltages of two sides are matched and the phase-shift angle is used to control the direction and amount of power flow. In addition, all the switches can achieve zero voltage switching in both forward and backward modes under a wide operating range, which can improve the efficiency of power conversion. The operating principle and steady-state analysis are examined, and a 400-W prototype is designed to verify the validity of the proposed converter.
c(RGDyk)-modified nanoparticles encapsulating quantum dots as a stable fluorescence probe for imaging-guided surgical resection of glioma under the auxiliary UTMD

Abstract Surgical resection remains the preferred approach for some patients with glioblastoma (GBM), and eradication of the residual tumour niche after surgical resection is very helpful for prolonging patient survival. However, complete surgical resection of invasive GBM is difficult because of its ambiguous boundary. Herein, a novel targeting material, c(RGDyk)-poloxamer-188, was synthesized by modifying carboxyl-terminated poloxamer-188 with a glioma-targeting cyclopeptide, c(RGDyk). Quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent probe were encapsulated into the self-assembled c(RGDyk)-poloxamer-188 polymer nanoparticles (NPs) to construct glioma-targeted QDs-c(RGDyk)NP for imaging-guided surgical resection of GBM. QDs-c(RGDyk)NP exhibited a moderate hydrodynamic diameter of 212.4 nm, a negative zeta potential of –10.1 mV and good stability. QDs-c(RGDyk)NP exhibited significantly lower toxicity against PC12 and C6 cells and HUVECs than free QDs. Moreover, in vitro cellular uptake experiments demonstrated that QDs-c(RGDyk)NP specifically targeted C6 cells, making them display strong fluorescence. Combined with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD), QDs-c(RGDyk)NP specifically accumulated in glioma tissue in orthotropic tumour rats after intravenous administration, evidenced by ex vivo NIR fluorescence imaging of bulk brain and glioma tissue sections. Furthermore, fluorescence imaging with QDs-c(RGDyk)NP guided accurate surgical resection of glioma. Finally, the safety of QDs-c(RGDyk)NP was verified using pathological HE staining. In conclusion, QDs-c(RGDyk)NP may be a potential imaging probe for imaging-guided surgery.
Factors predicting the development of asthma in wheezing children

Introduction: Wheeze is a common symptom in infants, but not all wheezers will develop asthma. How to predict if early wheeze will become asthma is still a matter of vivid debate. Aim: To assess the clinical and pathological factors possibly predicting the future development of asthma in children. Methods: 109 children (mean age 5.5 yrs) undergoing an indicated bronchoscopy were followed for a mean of 5 yrs. At baseline clinical characteristics with a particular focus on wheezing and its presentation (episodic, multitrigger) were collected. Structural and inflammatory changes were quantified in bronchial biopsies. Results: Children presenting with multitrigger wheeze were more likely to become asthmatics at follow-up than those with episodic or without wheeze (67% vs 29% vs 19%; p 2 ; p=0.01). Conclusion: Multitrigger wheeze, low birth-weight, reduced breast-feeding and increased IgE are predictors of asthma development. The thickening of basement membrane in early childhood is closely associated to the development of asthma, highlighting the importance of airway remodeling in early life.
