The hydrodynamics of a recirculating (O-tube) flume

An O-tube flume is a horizontal closed-circuit flume that can be driven by an inline impellertype pump to produce steady and/or oscillatory flow over a mobile seabed. An O-tube has the ability to reproduce large combined wave and current conditions near the seabed, typical of (cyclonic) storm conditions. In this paper, we investigate the hydrodynamics of an O-tube and show applications of this technology. First, we derive a dynamic equation to explain the coupling between pressure and flow rate within the O-tube. This result can be thought of as an extension of the classical hydrodynamic equations developed for U-tubes and allows for improved control of the flow within the O-tube by providing a prediction of the non-linear interaction between steady flow (i.e. currents) and unsteady flow (i.e. waves). We demonstrate this improved control by comparing measurements of flow rate taken from an O-tube with the dynamic equation. Secondly, we present velocity measurements to give a detailed description of the flow field within the O-tube, including mean flow profiles and seabed shear stress. Finally, we conclude the paper by providing two example applications of the facility to study sediment transport and scour.
Real-world experience of IL-17Ai drug survival in a large cohort of axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis

Abstract Objective The aim was to assess the use and drug survival of IL-17Ai in a real-world cohort of axial SpA (axSpA) and PsA patients. Methods Patients ever commenced on an IL-17Ai (secukinumab or ixekizumab) for axSpA or PsA at the Leeds Specialist Spondyloarthritis Service were identified. Demographics, IL-17Ai treatment length and reason for cessation were collected. Drug survival data were plotted as a Kaplan–Meier curve, with log rank test of median survival compared between axSpA and PsA. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between diagnosis and length of drug survival. Results In total, 228 patients (91 axSpA and 137 PsA) were exposed to IL-17Ai. Drug survival for all patients at 12 months was 69% (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 63, 75%) and at 24 months 60% (95% CI 54, 67%). In axSpA and PsA, drug survival at 12 months was 63% (CI 54, 74%) and 73% (CI 66, 81%), respectively, and at 24 months it was 53% (CI 44, 65%) and 65% (CI 57, 75%), respectively. Median survival did not differ significantly between both diseases (log rank test 0.65). There was no association between diagnosis and survival (hazard ratio 0.92, 95% CI 0.63, 1.33), including when adjusting for age, previous biologic DMARD usage and sex (hazard ratio 0.89, 95% CI 0.61, 1.13). Conclusion This is the first study, to our knowledge, to analyse and compare real-world IL-17Ai drug survival in patients with axSpA and PsA from a single centre. We demonstrate that there is no difference in IL-17Ai survival rates and no relationship between diagnosis and drug survival. These results contribute to the body of real-world evidence confirming the role of IL-17Ai in the management of axSpA and PsA.
Physical quality of Northern Nigeria Savanna Alfisol: Influence of Jatropha curcas L. and other land use systems

Abstract This study investigated the impact of three adjacent land use systems [land under arable cropping (ARL), cattle grazing fallow (GFL) and Jatropha curcas L. Orchard (JCL)] on selected soil physical quality indicators in a Northern Nigeria Savanna Alfisol. GFL had significantly higher organic carbon content (26.2–32.1% higher) and bulk density (4.5–9.2% higher) than JCL and ARL respectively. Higher bulk density (ρb) in GFL aided by trampling induced compaction resulted in its high relative field capacity (RFC), permanent wilting point (PWP) and micro-pore spaces (PMIC). Continuous tillage in ARL created loose soil in the plough layer (<20 cm) which turn out to its low bulk density (ρb) and high plant-available water capacity (PAWC), total pore spaces (f) and macro-pore spaces (PMAC) over JCL and GFL. Total nitrogen content, dry stability of large macro-aggregate fractions [5–2 mm, (LMag)] and mean weight diameter (MWD) were higher in JCL than GFL and ARL to about 47.2–60.6, 12.5–68.8 and 8.57–44.76%, respectively. This showed some possibilities of JCL in improving the nitrogen content and stability of soil. Yet, long term studies on the impact of J. curcas L. on the soil quality are needed in order to evaluate if such possibilities are sustainable or not.
More Than Looks: Exploring Methods to Test Phonological Discrimination in the Sign Language Kata Kolok

The lack of diversity in the language sciences has increasingly been criticized as it holds the potential for producing flawed theories. Research on (i) geographically diverse language communities and (ii) on sign languages is necessary to corroborate, sharpen, and extend existing theories. This study contributes a case study of adapting a well-established paradigm to study the acquisition of sign phonology in Kata Kolok, a sign language of rural Bali, Indonesia. We conducted an experiment modeled after the familiarization paradigm with child signers of Kata Kolok. Traditional analyses of looking time did not yield significant differences between signing and non-signing children. Yet, additional behavioral analyses (attention, eye contact, hand behavior) suggest that children who are signers and those who are non-signers, as well as those who are hearing and those who are deaf, interact differently with the task. This study suggests limitations of the paradigm due to the ecology of sign languages and the sociocultural characteristics of the sample, calling for a mixed-methods approach. Ultimately, this paper aims to elucidate the diversity of adaptations necessary for experimental design, procedure, and analysis, and to offer a critical reflection on the contribution of similar efforts and the diversification of the field.
Effect of Mobile Health Self-Care Training on Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Background: Technological advancements have facilitated disease management. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of mobile health training on the fatigue levels of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in Zahedan. Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 80 MS patients who joined the Zahedan Multiple Sclerosis Association in 2023. Patients were selected through convenience sampling and then randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Patients in the intervention group received mobile health education on fatigue reduction strategies using a website (www.Betterlifems.ir) created by the researcher, in addition to the standard education. The control group received only the standard education. In both groups, data were collected through a demographic information questionnaire and the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) at the beginning and two months after the intervention, using the interview method. The SPSS software (version 26) was used to analyze the collected data via paired t-test, independent t-test, chi-square test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at a significance level set at less than 0.05 (P < 0.05). Results: In the control group, the average fatigue score increased from 43.72 ± 9.04 to 44.07 ± 9.13, which did not demonstrate a significant increase (P = 0.69). Conversely, in the intervention group, the average fatigue score significantly decreased from 43.47 ± 8.15 to 30.10 ± 8.28 (P = 0.001). The ANCOVA results, which accounted for significant pretest score effects, revealed a significant difference in mean fatigue scores between the two groups after the intervention (P = 0.001). Conclusions: This study confirms that mobile health training has a significantly positive effect on the fatigue experienced by patients with MS. Therefore, mobile health can be utilized to teach self-care strategies to manage and alleviate fatigue in MS patients.

Technology in education through mobile learning application (MLA) and its impact on learning outcomes: Literature review

Integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in teacher education is a means to support the teaching and learning process. Good teaching by utilizing technology certainly requires changes, especially in the realm of pedagogy, but teachers apparently do not have enough ability to optimize ICT in the learning process. In fact, ICT has the potential to provide various benefits for teachers and students, including joint learning areas, cooperative and collaborative learning opportunities. Therefore, this research aims to identify the use of mobile learning application (MLA) and its impact as a form of ICT integration in learning. The method used is literature study, by taking data from various relevant scientific articles and books. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis from the results of the synthesis of several literature reviews obtained. The research results show that a number of 10 main articles and 15 relevant supporting articles as well as several book sources show that mobile-based learning with smartphone devices is becoming a trend at various levels of education, both academic and vocational.
Polar accumulation of pyoverdin and exit from stationary phase

Pyoverdin is a water-soluble metal-chelator synthesized by members of the genus Pseudomonas and used for the acquisition of insoluble ferric iron. Although freely diffusible in aqueous environments, preferential dissemination of pyoverdin among adjacent cells, fine-tuning of intracellular siderophore concentrations, and fitness advantages to pyoverdin-producing versus nonproducing cells, indicate control of location and release. Here, using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy to track single cells in growing microcolonies of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25, we show accumulation of pyoverdin at cell poles. Accumulation occurs on cessation of cell growth, is achieved by cross-feeding in pyoverdin-nonproducing mutants and is reversible. Moreover, accumulation coincides with localization of a fluorescent periplasmic reporter, suggesting that pyoverdin accumulation at cell poles is part of the general cellular response to starvation. Compatible with this conclusion is absence of non-accumulating phenotypes in a range of pyoverdin mutants. Analysis of the performance of pyoverdin-producing and nonproducing cells under conditions promoting polar accumulation shows an advantage to accumulation on resumption of growth after stress. Examination of pyoverdin polar accumulation in a multispecies community and in a range of laboratory and natural species of Pseudomonas, including P. aeruginosa PAO1 and P. putida KT2440, confirms that the phenotype is characteristic of Pseudomonas.
LA ESCUELA SECUNdARIA ARGENTINA EN PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA Y COMPARAdA: MOdELOS INSTITUCIONALES Y dESGRANAMIENTO dURANTE EL SIGLO XX Argentina High School in historical and comparative perspective: Institutional models and drop out during the twentieth century

This article is aimed at the peculiarities of the secondary school expansion in Argentina. Through a comparative historical context shows that the high school settings in Argentina recognizes similarities and differences with the school settings in other developing countries such as the massification early to mid-century and the configuration of institutional models selective in nature. However, secondary school expansion in Argentina has also certain specificities: the increase in enrollment was accompanied by a significant rate of drop out from its origins. This paper will argue that the high school expansion in Argentina is produced from an array of incorporation and expulsion simultaneously and that these processes are related to the institutional model of high school whose origin lies in the institutional model of the colegio nacional .
Plant Growth Parameters and Soil Potassium Pool as Influenced by Potassium Fertilization in Kharif Season Rice

Attaining Food Security had been a major challenge for the nation since independence. With ever increasing population it is very crucial for our country to increase food grain production from the current level. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal no. 2 also talks about increasing agro productivity two fold by the end of 2030. The current stagnation in food grain production necessitates special initiatives to meet the increasing demands of food grains. Expansion of the area has ceased to be a major source of increased output. Most of the targeted increase in production now must result from greater yield per hectare. Appropriate nutrient management in general and potassium management in particular, will play a major role in overcoming stagnation in crop production. The picture of crop responses to potassium (K) in India has been changing with time. Although Indian soils were sufficient in terms of potassium status but intensive cropping without its application has rendered the soils deficient in potassium.

Association Between Anterior Hip Capsule Thickening and Sagittal Pelvic Alignment Among Patients With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Introduction: The pathogenesis and pathology of secondary osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip, which is mainly due to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), in Japan are obscure. There are some reports on the thickening of the hip capsule, but the relationship between the thickness of the hip capsule and the pelvic alignment due to hip deformity is not well known. This research investigated whether the capsular thickness of female DDH patients was related to pelvic alignment. Methods: This single-center cross-sectional study included female patients aged 50-79 years (n=13) who had undergone primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to secondary hip OA with a background of DDH. The part of the hip capsule including the iliofemoral ligament was resected and measured directly with a digital caliper. The Sharp angle, center-edge (CE) angle, sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), and lumbar lordosis angle (LLA) were measured with an X-ray image to investigate the relationship between the capsular thickness and the pelvic posture. Results: Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a negative correlation between hip capsular thickness and Sharp angle (r=-0.57, p>0.05). No significant correlation was found between the thickness of the hip capsule and the sagittal X-ray parameters including SS, PT, PI, LLA, and CE angle in the coronal plane. Conclusion: The thickness of the hip capsule is moderately associated with the Sharp angle on the coronal plane. The results of this study suggest that the thickness of the joint capsule does not necessarily relate to the degenerative process among patients with DDH and the process can be complex to apply two-dimensional postural indices for the explanation.
Influence of cluster exposure on fruit composition and wine quality of seyval blanc grapes

Experiments were conducted in 1981 and 1982 to investigate the influence of duster exposure on fruit composition, wine quality, and incidence of bunch rot ( Botrytis cinerea PERS.) of the French-American hybrid grape cultivar Seyval blanc. Berry sampling from 4 exposure categories (western exposure, eastern exposure, partial shade, and full shade) indicated highest °Brix, pH and tartrate, and lowest titratable acidity (TA) and malate in the exposed fruit post veraison. Total acidity and malate were highest in exposed fruit between fruit set and veraison. Exposure of the fruit also reduced the incidence of bunch rot during the 1981 season. Wine quality differences were small and not statistically significant, although wines vinted from exposed fruit tended to score higher. Canopy management practices that optimize fruit exposure would be helpful in maximization of fruit and wine quality.
Weed management with herbicdes in chickpea

India is a premier chickpea growing country accounting 76% of total area and production of the world. Yield losses due to weed competition depending on the level of weed infestation and weed species. Yield reduction in chickpea due to presence of weeds to the extent of 75% was noticed by Chaudhary et al. (2005). Considerable variations were observed in the application of herbicides by farmers for the control of weeds in chickpea. In view of the above points, the present experiment was planned to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides for weed management in chickpea under middle Gujarat conditions.
Maturation and Bio-Banding in Youth Soccer Players: Insights from Turkish Male Academy across U-10 to U-15 Age

Soccer academies are vital in identifying and nurturing young talent for senior-level competition. Relative age and biological maturation influence player performance and selection in youth soccer. While often grouped by Chronological Age (CA), variations within a CA category can lead to differences in maturation, with the Relative Age Effect (RAE) favoring older players' performance. Maturation, marked by physical and cognitive development, can significantly affect performance. Therefore, this study examined the interrelations between relative age, maturation status, and bio-banding in youth soccer players in U10 to U15 age cohorts. This study examined 60 male soccer players aged 10 to 15 (mean ± standard deviation; age: 12.6 ± 1.7 years; Weight: 49 ± 15.1 kg; Height: 157.2 ± 12.8 cm; sitting height: 69.7 ± 6.7 cm), assessing anthropometric measurements, maturation status, and physical performance. Players' physical attributes and performance levels were influenced by their maturation status rather than their relative age, with maturation-related disparities in strength and jump performance observed among age groups. Bio-banding, a strategy categorizing players by maturation status, created more equitable groups with homogenized physical attributes and performance. Early-maturing players showed advantages in physical attributes, while late-maturing players displayed enhanced leadership and self-confidence. Understanding maturation status is crucial for accurate performance assessment and equitable player grouping in youth soccer. This study underscores the significance of considering maturation status as a distinct determinant in evaluating young soccer players.
