Role of Pore‐Scale Disorder in Fluid Displacement: Experiments and Theoretical Model

The flow of multiple immiscible fluids in disordered porous media is important in many natural processes and subsurface applications. The pore‐scale disorder affects the fluid invasion pathways significantly and induces the transitions of displacement patterns in porous media. Extensive studies focus on pattern transitions affected by disorder under quasistatic or dynamic conditions, but how the disorder controls the pattern transitions from capillary‐dominated regime to viscous‐dominated regime is not well understood. Here, we combine microfluidic experiments and theoretical analysis to investigate the role of disorder in fluid displacement. We perform drainage experiments with four different disorders under six flow rate conditions and show that increasing disorder destabilizes displacement fronts for all flow rates considered. Based on the scaling analysis of pore‐filling events, we propose a theoretical model that describes the pattern transitions from compact displacement to capillary to viscous fingering as functions of disorder and capillary number. The effects of disorder on both capillary and viscous forces are quantified within the theoretical model. The phase diagram predicted by this model agrees well with our experimental results. We further elucidate the role of disorder in fluid displacement via energy conversion and dissipation. We find that increasing disorder enhances the capillary instabilities and induces more energy dissipated in a capillary‐dominated regime, with the dissipation ratio increasing from 28.3% to 56.7%. Our work extends the classic phase diagram to consider the effect of disorder and provides a better understanding of the impact of the disorder on flow behaviors by energy dissipation.
SENSORY QUALITY of IRRADIATED ONION and GARLIC BULBS

The radioinhibition process has shown to prolong shelf-life of “Valenciana sintetica 14” onion variety and “Colorado” garlic variety. Sensory attributes of the irradiated bulbs were tested monthly by trained judges during extended storage in warehouse conditions (6-32C, R.H. 40–50%). the sensory properties observed were external and internal appearance, firmness and odor. The irradiated bulbs were judged to be superior in quality with respect to internal and external appearance (p < 0.01) and firmness (p < 0.01), after 180 days postharvest. the irradiated bulbs showed no difference in odor (p < 0.05), when compared to unirradiated ones, through the storage period.

Hemodynamic and Flow Recirculation Effect on Rupture Prediction of Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm

The mortality and morbidity rate due to the severe effect of intracranial aneurysm (IA) is increasing, which has driven research trend on aneurysm rupture risk. By understanding the nature and causes of the aneurysm rupture, preventive measures could be taken in avoiding rupture besides recommending proper treatments such as endovascular coiling. However, the presence of flow recirculation causes the aneurysm wall to degenerate and weakened. The weakened wall is due to the haemodynamic factors such as velocity, wall shear stress (WSS), time average WSS (TAWSS), OSI and RRT, which were analysed in this study. In the present study, the flow model simulated a human patient-specific aneurysm at the apex of the bifurcation in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in the transient state. Experimental results of full-scale models were collected on a median, side plane to study the flow behaviour and validation to the numerical simulation settings, which resulted in good agreement with only 8% difference. The simulation results obtained showed several interesting findings. The jet flow into the aneurysm led to complex vortex formation due to impinging flow behaviour within the aneurysm dome. Additionally, the area that recorded low velocity was at 30% of low TAWSS with only 1% of OSI that was more than 0.3, while the OSI critical value and 0.27% area exceeded RRT threshold, which caused the large oscillating blood flow direction and activated the atherosclerosis progression. These results suggest that the jet flow into the dome may cause further damage to the wall of the MCA aneurysm, which will help in providing an insight towards completing a guidance system assessment of rupture risk for medical practitioners in future work.
OPTIMAL BANDWIDTH SELECTION IN NONLINEAR COINTEGRATING REGRESSION

We study optimal bandwidth selection in nonparametric cointegrating regression where the regressor is a stochastic trend process driven by short or long memory innovations. Unlike stationary regression, the optimal bandwidth is found to be a random sequence which depends on the sojourn time of the process. All random sequences $h_{n}$ that lie within a wide band of rates as the sample size $n\rightarrow \infty $ have the property that local level and local linear kernel estimates are asymptotically normal, which enables inference and conveniently corresponds to limit theory in the stationary regression case. This finding reinforces the distinctive flexibility of data-based nonparametric regression procedures for nonstationary nonparametric regression. The present results are obtained under exogenous regressor conditions, which are restrictive but which enable flexible data-based methods of practical implementation in nonparametric predictive regressions within that environment.
Strength of HRM systems and perceived organizational support as determinants of employment relationships: The perspective of HR managers and workers’ representatives

This article seeks to explain and understand how the strength of a human resource management (HRM) system and perceived organizational support (POS) determine employment relationships (ERs) in organizations and the behaviors they generate in terms of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and intentions to remain (IR). A typology of ERs is proposed, considering perceptions about the HRM system (Ability, Motivation, and Opportunity [AMO] model), its strength, and POS. An analysis was adopted, looking into organizations in two separate studies in service sectors (hospitality and financial services), taking as informants to 130 and 87 HRM managers and 30 workers’ representatives as proxies of organizations and employees, respectively. Cluster analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted, and results are congruent with theoretical frameworks such as Attribution Theory and Social Exchange Theory. Depending on how stakeholders understand the way in which the HRM system is implemented and the level of POS, certain ERs are developed and explain employees’ responses in terms of OCB and IR behaviors.

Factors Influencing the Number of Relapse in Patients with Bipolar I Disorder

Background: Type I bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness with a recurrent nature. Objectives: This study was done to identify risk factors for relapse in patients with type I bipolar disorder using Poisson regression. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data were collected from 331 bipolar type I patients admitted to the largest and the only psychiatric hospital in West of Iran, Kermanshah. Poisson regression was used to identify risk factors for the relapse numbers in STATA software. Results: One hundred sixty six of 331 patients (50.2%) were men. Mean and standard deviation of relapse rates in males and females were 2.93 ± 0.16 and 2.93 ± 0.15, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the results showed that with increasing age of disease onset (RR = 0.98, 95% CI :(0.97 -0.99)) and adherence to medication (RR = 0.86, 95% CI :(0.75-0.98)), the relapse rate ratio decreased, and being divorced or widowed (RR = 1.20,95% CI :( 1.01-1.45)), cigarette smoking (RR = 1.28, 95% CI: (1.52-1.09)), and birth season of winter (RR = 1.18, 95% CI: (1.00-1.41)) increased the rate ratio of relapse. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the frequency of relapse was lower in bipolar patients younger at the time of disease onset, cigarette smokers, divorced or widowed patients, and patients with no treatment adherent. It is necessary to prevent or reduce the likelihood of relapse, especially in patients who do not have therapeutic adherence through educational and therapeutic measurements.
Determining the optimum feed duration of Artemia nauplii to maximize hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis) larval growth in cool-water culture conditions

ABSTRACT Four-day-old hybrid striped bass (HSB; Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis) larvae were stocked into a recirculating aquaculture system maintained at 18°C to mimic cool-water culture temperatures experienced by year-round producers to determine the earliest time HSB larvae could be weaned from Artemia to a commercial diet. After an initial 8-day rotifer feeding period where all treatments were fed three times daily with rotifers (60 rotifers/mL/tank/d), designated replicated treatments were progressively weaned from Artemia (12 Artemia/mL/tank/d) onto starter (3.0 g/tank/d) for 8 to 28 days in 4-day increments (DFA) for a total of six treatments. Survival of larvae by the end of the experiment ranged from 12.9% to 64.1% and averaged 31.2 ± 12.6% with no significant difference among treatments. At the end of the study, length of larvae ranged from 9.05 to 19.06 mm (mean 14.19 ± 1.92 mm), and body depth of larvae ranged from 1.52 to 4.35 mm (mean 2.71 ± 0.56 mm). Total length and body depth of larvae varied significantly based on DFA (P < 0.0001), with the largest larvae being the ones fed Artemia for the longest. Refinements of these feeding methods will help farmers more easily transition to tank-based production schemes, lead to year-round availability of fingerlings, and aid in expansion of the HSB aquaculture industry.
Regimes of wettability-dependent and wettability-independent bouncing of a drop on a solid surface

Abstract Tiny drops of millimetre size are known to bounce on a solid surface if the surface is superhydrophobic. Recent experiments show that bouncing can occur even on hydrophilic surfaces under conditions where the drop is supported on a thin cushion of gas preventing it from making contact with the surface. We present a detailed insight into this observation by simulating bouncing dynamics of a drop on a flat solid surface using axisymmetric direct numerical simulations. The dynamics of drop motion is governed by three important dimensionless parameters, namely, Reynolds number, $Re$, Weber number, $We$, and capillary number, $Ca_g$. We generate a phase diagram in the $We\text {--}Re$ plane separating the wettability-independent (non-contact bouncing) and wettability-dependent (contact bouncing) regions. We show that $We=2.14$ is the optimum value of Weber number which can support a gas cushion for the widest range of Reynolds numbers. The phase diagram is further divided into five sub-regions based on the shape of the drop and the gas film beneath it. The simulations can reproduce experimentally reported gas films of ${\sim }1\ \mathrm {\mu }\textrm {m}$ with excellent agreement spatially and temporally. Simulations also reproduce well-known scaling laws for a variety of parameters characterising the gas film. New scaling laws for the radial extent of the gas film as well as time taken for impact are derived. For higher Weber and Reynolds numbers, a bouncing drop captures a gas bubble inside it consistent with simple experiments carried out for water drops bouncing on superhydrophobic surfaces.
Prevalence of malocclusion in primary dentition in Tbilisi, Georgia: Clinical and epidemiological study

Background: Primary dentition is determinant for future permanent occlusion. Aim: The aim of this study was to reveal occlusion anomalies and associated risk factors among two research groups: clinically referred group and Tbilisi preschooler group. Methods: The clinical study was conducted at the Orthodontic centre and included 206 children aged 3-6 years of both gender. 396 children aged 3 to 6 were evaluated in kindergartens of Tbilisi. Multi-stage cluster sampling with preliminary stratification was applied to obtain a representative sample of preschoolers. In each stratum kindergartens were selected using the PPS (Probability Proportional to Size) method. Questionnaires were given to parents to find out general health problems, functional changes and the presence of non-nutritive sucking habits. Data analysis was done with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.00. Results: The prevalence of malocclusion among Tbilisi preschoolers was 49.8%, with no significant differences found in genders. This study showed that the prevalence of Class II was 21.2%(±4.091), followed by deep overbite 10.7% (±3.14), cross bite 7% (±2.561), anterior open bite 6.9% and Class III 1.6% (±1.513). Children with breathing problems had Class II in 41.5% and cross bite in 13%. Speech disorder in 46.8% of cases was associated with anterior open bite. Pacifier users had Class II in 22.5%, deep overbite in 12.2% and open bite in 9.2% of cases. There was a high prevalence of anterior open bite (25.2%) in children with a thumb sucking habit (RR=4.90). Clinically tested patients had twice as high prevalence of malocclusions than preschoolers (49.8%) and 87,9 % of the total amount had occlusal problems. The most frequent disorder was Class III (39.1%), followed by cross bite (19.9%), open bite (9.6%), deep overbite (9.3%) and Class II (6.4%). The significance level is 0.05 for all statistical tests. Conclusions: The results revealed a high prevalence of malocclusion in primary dentition in children aged 3-6 years old of Tbilisi, Georgia, especially in sagittal dimension. The malocclusion frequency was higher in clinically referred children. The most frequent malocclusion among Tbilisi preschoolers was Class II, while clinically, the most frequent disorder was Class III. The need for preventive orthodontic therapy is extremely desired and oral health education about malocclusion should be strengthened.
Endo-Parasites of Apparently Healthy Wild Birds in Kaduna State, Nigeria

Aims: Wildbirds interaction with poultry increases the likelihood of exchange of parasites between wild birds and poultry highlighting the need to understand wild bird endoparasites to reduce cross-infection at the wild bird-poultry interface. This study investigates the prevalence and diversity of endoparasites among wild birds in Kaduna State to provide baseline data on the wild birds' endoparasites which could be a source of infection to poultry. Study Design: Wild birds in live wild bird markets, free-flying wild birds and semi-domesticated birds were the samples for endoparasites. Place and Duration of Study: Birds were sampled in Kaduna State, Nigeria and the samples were analyzed at the helminthology laboratory of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria between April 2012 and December 2012. Methodology: Wild birds faecal samples were examined for endoparasites by the simple flotation method. Results: Of the 357 birds sampled, 36.4% were infected with at least one species of endoparasite. Charadriidae (7.1%) and Meleagris gallopavo (23.5%) had the lowest family and species prevalence respectively. Free flying, live poultry markets (LPM) and live wild bird markets (LWBM) birds had a prevalence of 39.1%, 37.2% and 34% respectively. The endoparasites identified were coccidia (30.5%), Ascaridia (5.9%), nematode larvae (0.8%), Capillaria (0.6%); Syngamus, Raillietinia and Trichuris (0.3% for each). There was a significant difference between the prevalence (p = 0.00), mean intensities (p = 0.00) and abundance (p = 0.01) of coccidia and Ascaridia. The prevalence of multiple infections was 2.0% representing 5.4% of infected birds. The study is first to report in Kaduna State, Nigeria of Trichuris in Anas platyrhynchos and Raillietina in Laniarius barbarous. Conclusion: Wild birds in Kaduna State, Nigeria harbours endoparasites of economic significance to poultry and there is the need for more study of these wild birds’ endoparasites at the wild bird–poultry interface.
Adolescents Problematic Internet Use: Family factors Systematic review

Background and aims: Among factors influencing the development of Adolescent Internet Addiction familial factors have a serious contribution. The present review examined some results of research on family factors influencing adolescent problematic internet use. Methods: We examined overall 22 studies published during the period 2013-2018 that included following variables: 1) Parent-child relationship; 2) family structure and functioning; 3)Parenting approaches 4) Parental attitude toward internet use; 5) Parental on-line behaviour 6) Parental mental health; 7)family violence. Results: Majority of studies concerned with parent-child relationship reporting that poor quality of such relationship negatively affects adolescent problematic internet use. Parental internet attitude and rules demonstrated ambiguous and gender-dependent data, it seems that overall caring supervision on adolescents daily activity affects negatively problematic internet use and rules in case of boys. Also, the study revealed a variety of assessment tools which may be the cause of ambiguity in some cases. The review revealed lack of studies concerning on the parental behaviour and mental health, though it’s obvious that researchers should focus more on those factors. Discussion: Our analysis reported that parent-child relationship affects adolescents online behaviour. Family functioning high scores seem to be protective factors. As long as the internet plays important role in contemporary daily lives it should be considered the online behaviour of adults who are responsible for the raising children as well as their attitude towards the use of the internet. Conclusions: Family-related variables need to be regarded while treating problematic internet use in adolescents in direction of the more caring atmosphere within family and parents mental health should be considered as well.
Critical Positive Youth Development: A Framework for Centering Critical Consciousness

While positive youth development (PYD) has proven beneficial in developing youth’s strengths, fomenting youth–adult partnerships, and cultivating leadership, missing from the framework is a critical understanding of the role and impact of power, privilege, and oppression on young people’s development and lived experiences. To address this absence, we developed a critical positive youth development (CPYD) framework. Bridging positive youth development (PYD) with critical theory, CPYD positions critical consciousness—consisting of critical reflection, political efficacy, and critical action—as the 7th C of PYD and as integral to both the learning process and healthy socioemotional development. This paper introduces the CPYD framework and examines implications and applications for practitioners, including exploring the role of storytelling as an effective method through which to apply CPYD and highlighting one specific example.
Reconstructing Depositional Rates and Their Effect on Paleoenvironmental Proxies: The Case of the Lau Carbon Isotope Excursion in Gotland, Sweden

Variations in depositional rates affect the temporal depositional resolutions of proxies used for paleoenvironmental reconstructions; for example, condensation can make reconstructed environmental changes appear very abrupt. This is commonly addressed by transforming proxy data using age models, but this approach is limited to situations where numerical ages are available or can be reliably inferred by correlation. Here we propose a new solution, in which relative age models are constructed based on proxies for depositional rates. As a case study, we use the onset of the late Silurian Lau Carbon Isotope Excursion (LCIE) in Gotland, Sweden. The studied succession is a gradual record of shallowing upward in a tropical, neritic carbonate platform. As proxies for depositional rates we tested thorium concentration, carbonate content, and the concentration of pelagic palynomorphs. These three proxies were used to create relative age models using the previously published DAIME model. We applied these models to transform the δ13Ccarb values as well as concentrations of selected redox‐sensitive elements. The three relative age models yielded qualitatively similar results. In our case study, variations in depositional rates resulted in peaks of redox proxies appearing up to 76% higher when taken at face value, compared to when accounting for these rates. In the most extreme cases, our corrections resulted in a reversal in the stratigraphic trend of elemental concentrations. This approach can be applied and developed across depositional setting and types of paleoenvironmental proxies. It provides a flexible tool for developing quantitative models to improve our understanding of the stratigraphic record.
