Geological evidence of the Cenozoic tectonic uplifting in Taihang Mountains——Apatite fission track evidence from Well Qincan 1

Apatite fission track rmochronolgy analysis from 12 samples in Well Qincan 1 of Qinshui basin,combined with the apatite-zircon fission track analysis from 9 samples of Shijiazhuang Xingtai,the results show that the uplifting of Taihang Mountains was unbalanced. Moreover,Taihang Mountains experienced pre-Cenozoic denudation-peneplaned process to uplift-erosion of the Paleogene,till the rapid uplifting of the Neogene.Since 23-18 Ma,Taihang Mountains main body formed. The rapid uplifting occurred in Taihang Mountains during the Pliocene,about 4 000 m uplifting and the average rate of uplifting 0. 18 mm / a. The Neogene uplifting of Taihang Mountains was attributed to three factors: 1 the remote effect of the Eurasian plate collision;2 the geothermal cooling; 3 the structural loads. The Cenozoic uplifting events are corresponding with the tectonic evolution of the adjacent basins and mountains,a regional uplifting event in North China.
Momentary Reports of Social-Evaluative Threat Predict Ambulatory Blood Pressure

Although laboratory research indicates that social-evaluative threat evokes a physical stress response, naturalistic studies of its situational determinants remain scarce. This work investigates the correlates of naturally occurring social-evaluative threats and tests the effects of situational control and social-evaluative threat on cardiovascular functioning. A total of 99 undergraduate students wore an ambulatory blood pressure monitor for 4 days. Following hourly activations of the monitor, participants described their activities at the time the monitor activated and rated situational control and social-evaluative threat. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses indicated relative elevations in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at times when participants reported more social-evaluative threat. Increases in heart rate were observed in low control situations. Cardiovascular reactivity to social-evaluative threat was observed in a young healthy sample during real-life social interactions, suggesting that situation-specific reactivity to social-evaluative threat does occur and that social-evaluative threat may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease.
EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE URBAN FORESTRY AND COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS OF TREE CITY USA MUNICIPALITIES IN INDIANA

The benefits of urban forests and the contributions of the extent and quality of the urban forest to the tangible sustainability and environmental quality of a city are well documented. Because the traditions of urban forestry and tree planting have a longer history than the more recent trend of community sustainability programs, there may be a potential for strong, successful urban forestry programs to catalyze broader sustainability movements. This study attempts to gain a better understanding of the connection between urban forest programs and broader sustainability programs. Two sets of indicators to assess urban forestry and sustainability program strength of Tree City USA communities in Indiana were developed. We used factor analysis to produce index scores representing the strength of each program in each city. Regression of index scores revealed a significant correlation between urban forestry and community sustainability program strength. We hypothesize that one reason for this is that community sustainability and urban forestry efforts are thematically related, and cities with an interest in one might naturally take an interest in the other. This and other predictions will have to be tested in future research to fully address all the factors that may influence the strength of these programs.
Study of high mobility group box 1 protein level in patients with Study of high mobility group box 1 protein level in patients with diffuse large b cell lymphoma diffuse large b cell lymphoma

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been the most common kind of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), representing for roughly 24% of new instances per year. The HMG box 1 protein is a nuclear DNA-binding protein that was identified more than thirty years ago. It binds to DNA and functions as a cofactor in the transcription of genes. Overexpression of HMGB1 was being discovered in many cancers, including breast cancer, gastric cancer
Applications of Romanian Propolis in Phyto-Inhibitory Activity and Antimicrobial Protection: A Comparative Study

Propolis use in medicine, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries is well known. This study aimed to investigate propolis’ phyto-inhibitory and antimicrobial potential. Nine propolis samples obtained from distinct Romanian regions and characterized in terms of physical–chemical parameters, phenols and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant properties were prepared as dry propolis and aqueous extracts. The phyto-inhibitory effect was comparatively tested on different cereals: hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), maize (Zea mays L.), oats (Avena sativa L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), while their in vitro antimicrobial activity was evaluated against bacterial and fungal strains specific to cereals: Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, Proteus mirabilis, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Aspergillus niger. All propolis samples showed a phyto-inhibitory effect on the cereals, the most pronounced being corn and oats. Propolis powder samples displayed a lower phyto-inhibitory activity than propolis extracts. Also, all tested products showed inhibitory efficacy against both bacteria and fungi. Furthermore, principal component analysis showed differences between the samples’ phyto-inhibitory and antimicrobial properties depending on the geographical origin. Positive correlations were found between the polyphenols, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity, respectively. These data support propolis’ phyto-pharmaceutical potential related to its use in plant crop management as an alternative in ecological agriculture.
Submarine slump sediments and related dewatering structures: Observations of 3D seismic data obtained for the continental slope off Shimokita Peninsula, NE Japan

The results of a three-dimensional seismic survey of the continental slope off Shimokita Peninsula, NE Japan, reveal the detailed features of typical slumps and related fluid-migration paths in Pliocene and Quaternary formations. Dewatering structures, which are strongly dependent on the development of imbricate structures within slump sediments, acted to drain excess fluid that accumulated upon the slip planes related to slumping. Damped and dimmed reflections in the dewatering structures and in the slumps indicate that the distribution of natural gas is strongly related to fluid circulation in and around the slump sediments. Slumping and dewatering structures are probably typical phenomena in such a continental slope of high methane flux.
Scottish Middle Devonian fishes in Estonia

A number of Estonian Devonian fishes are shown to be junior synonyms of Scottish species. The Estonian sarcopterygian osteolepid Gyroptychius pauli was originally thought to be closely related to the Scottish species Gyroptychius milleri being differentiated by minor morphological differences of the skull roof. However, here we show that the only skull roof available of G. pauli to the original description (the holotype) was badly damaged in places. This and the fact that skull roofs of osteolepid fishes are morphologically highly variable has allowed us to compare the Estonian and Scottish species and show that G. pauli is a junior synonym of G. milleri. It has also been known for some time that Estonian coccosteid arthrodire Coccosteus orvikui was a junior synonym of the Scottish species Coccosteus cuspidatus. Here we present the evidence for this assumption and also show that the Scottish coccosteid arthrodire Millerosteus minor is almost certainly present in Estonia. Finally, it is shown that the three species have the same stratigraphical distribution in the two regions, strongly indicating a close faunal connection between the Middle Devonian of Estonia and the Middle Devonian Orcadian Basin of Scotland.
A Two-step Approach for Effective Detection of Misbehaving Users in Chats ⋆ Notebook for PAN at CLEF 2012

This paper describes the system jointly developed by the Language Technologies Lab from INAOE and the Language and Reasoning Group from UAM for the Sexual Predators Identification task at the PAN 20 12. The presented system focuses on the problem of identifying sexual predators in a set of suspi- cious chatting. It is mainly based on the following hypotheses: (i) terms used in the process of child exploitation are categorically and psy chologically different than terms used in general chatting; and (ii) predators usually apply the same course of conduct pattern when they are approaching a child. Based on these hypotheses, our participation at the PAN 2012 aimed to demonstrate that it is possible to train a classifier to learn those particular term s that turn a chat con- versation into a case of online child exploitation; and, that it is also possible to learn the behavioral patters of predators during a chat conversation allowing us to accurately distinguish victims from predators.
Inorganic phosphorus fractions and phosphorus availability in long term fertilizer cum manurial trials under coconut cultivation

Phosphorus is one of the major nutrients required for coconut production. The information about the fate of native and applied phosphorus in soil is essential for better management of the nutrient. The changes on inorganic P fractions and P availability in soil after 43 years of coconut cultivation were studied from a long term fertilizer cum manurial experiment at CPCRI, Kasaragod. There were 6 treatments viz. tillage with organic and inorganic fertilizer, tillage with inorganic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizers with basin forking, tillage alone, herbicide application without tillage and fertilizer and the control. Soil samples were taken at two depths (0-30 and 30-60 cm) from coconut basin for analysis. Phosphorus was fractionated into Easily Soluble P (ES-P), Aluminium P (AI-P), Iron P (Fe-P), Calcium P (Ca-P) and Reductant Soluble P (RS-P) through sequential extraction. The dominant phosphorus fraction in the coconut basin at 0-30 cm depth was Ca-P and the trend is as follows: Ca-P> Fe-P> RS-P>Al-P>ES-P. However, at 30-60 cm depth, Fe-P became the dominant fraction and the trend is Fe-P>Ca-P>RS-P>Al-P>ES-P. Long-term phosphorus fertilization would facilitate the accumulation of soil Ca-P, and thus improve soil P availability. In the interspaces, Fe-P was the dominating fraction in both the depths followed by Ca-P and RS-P. The diﬀerence in P fractions in fertilized and non-fertilized plots clearly showed that the fertilized plots have high content of all the inorganic phosphorus fractions in both the depths. Application of mineral P along with forking in basin showed a high concentration of all the inorganic P fractions compared to other fertilizer applied treatments.
Impact of Diets on the Biology of Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton)

The influence of various diets was evaluated on the biology of Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) under laboratory conditions. Results revealed that the lowest egg hatching (60.33%) was found on wheat diet 100% and highest (87.50 %) was on bajra (32.33%) + maize (32.33%) + wheat (32.33%) + sugar (3%) diet.The shortest and longest incubation period (3.83 and 6.67 days), larval period (31.83 and 40.67 days) and total developmental period (50.50 and 65.00 days) were recorded on bajra (100%) and wheat (100%) diet, respectively. Meanwhile shortest and longest pupal period (14.83 and 19.33 days) were recorded on bajra (100%) and maize (100%) diet, respectively. The maximum and minimum adult emergence (88.33 and 53.75 %), sex ratio (1.72:1 and 0.42:1), adult male lifespan (12.50 and 7.17 days), fecundity (239.16 and 180.67 eggs/ female) and growth index (2.66 and 1.39) were recorded on maize (48.5%) + sorghum (48.5%) + Groundnut (3%) diet and Wheat (100%) diet, respectively. Life span of adult female was longest (8.67 days) and shortest (4.67 days) on diet maize (48.5%) + sorghum (48.5%) + groundnut (3%) and bajra (100%) diet, respectively. It may be concluded that among the seven diets, the most preferred diet for rearing of C. cephalonica was maize (48.5%) + sorghum (48.5%) + groundnut (3%) and the least preferred diet was wheat (100%).
Watershed modeling for regional water budget analysis

Watershed models can play an important role in regional planning. Their ability to consider large, spatially diverse regions and assess the impact of different land use scenarios on water resources can lead to better, more informed decision making. Recent legislation in Ontario has led to the adoption of watershed models as part of drinking water source protection planning processes. In this study, the ability of the SWAT model to simulate the hydrology of the Raisin River watershed, an area of 556km located in eastern Ontario, is examined. The model was calibrated using data from 1985 to 1994 and validated using data from 1995 to 2004. Weekly average flow rates were used to evaluate the model, producing a Nash Sutcliffe coefficient of 0.798 for the period of calibration and 0.788 for the validation period. Model error is most significant during the annual snowmelt period, suggesting deficiencies in the way snowmelt is modeled. Baseflow predictions are correct on an annual basis but exhibit more volatility than the observed flow. The Nash Sutcliffe coefficient is a common measure of hydrologic model performance but suffers from being strongly biased to certain times of the year. Specifically, it is insensitive to periods of low flow which are important for source protection planning. The possibility of transforming the observed and predicted flow rates to compensate is discussed. The methodology presented takes advantage of readily available standardised data, permitting a similar modeling exercise to be easily undertaken for a different region. Results and analysis as presented could be used directly in the development of source protection plans. Spatial and temporal variation of water budget components (runoff, recharge and evapotranspiration) throughout the watershed is discussed. The impact of land use and soil type on the water budget is also highlighted.
3D Finite Element Study on Load Transfer at Doweled Joints in Flat and Curled Rigid Pavements

ABSTRACT This study examines load transfer across doweled joints in rigid pavements using 3D finite element analysis. A recently developed dowel modeling strategy is employed that allows the efficient and rigorous consideration of dowel/slab interaction. Parametric studies on the response of a typical, dowel-retrofitted pavement system subjected to axle loads and varying degrees of slab curling are conducted. To examine the effect of slab support on pavement response, the studies consider two different foundation types: layered elastic with an asphalt-treated base and a dense liquid foundation. The results of the studies are discussed with emphasis on the effect of slab curling and foundation type on joint load transfer and the potential for joint distress. While there are significant differences in response for the ATB-supported slabs and the slabs founded on a dense liquid, slab curling does generally increase dowel shears and dowel/slab bearing stresses. However, further examination of the parametric s.
Thermomechanical Inuences from the Non-Monotonicity of the Rheological Activation Parameters in the Lower Mantle

The recently discovered iron spin transition in major mantle minerals at high pressures should exert dramatic inuences on the transport properties, such as the activation creep parameters in the deep mantle. The high-spin to low-spin transition, which is like a second-order phase transition, changes the electronic environment of the d-orbitals of Fe++. One can calculate the changes in the activation enthalpy from an elastic strain energy model, in which the activation parameters of the lower-mantle rheology can be related to the bulk and shear moduli under high temperature and pressure conditions. Wentzcovitch et al. (2009) have computed these elastic parameters at high pressure and temperature conditions, using the rst principles of total energy calculations of the materials elasticity. As a consequence of the spin transition, there is a signican t softening of the elastic parameters and an attendant strong reduction of the Gibbs free energy in the creep law, leading to its non-monotonic behavior to develop in the middle of the mantle. With a parameterized model of the rheological parameters capturing the basic physics, we have studied the dynamical consequences within the framework of a 2-D Cartesian convection model. The non-monotonicity in the rheological parameters leads to the formation of viscosity minimum at a depth of about 1600 km followed by a \viscosity hill" in the bottom half of the lower mantle. Our numerical simulations reveal a tendency to the formation of superplumes and/or plume clustering in the deep lower mantle with the dynamical behavior, which is inuenced by the changes of the activation parameters throughout the lower mantle and other material properties at the bottom of the mantle (decrease of thermal expansivity, viscosity reduction due to the perovskitepostperovskite phase change, radiative thermal conductivity). Therefore non-monotonic behavior
Emerging Pest Problems in Exotic Olive and Grower Specific IPM Modules for Jammu and Kashmir

About 34 insect species were found infesting olive orchards in UT of J&K Among them, olive psylla, Euphyllura pakistanica; olive black scale, Saissetia olea and tinged bug, Eteoneus sp. sigilatus Drake caused serious damage. The avoidable yield losses caused by all the pest species were 33 to 53%. On the basis of various field trials conducted neem insecticidal soap (NIS @ 2.5 %) and horticultural mineral oil (HP spray oil 2% of solution) were found effective against major pests. In case of severe infestation imidacloprid (17.8 SL) a.i. 0.075 % and cartap hydrochloride 4G @ 100g/ tree resulted in their efficient suppression. As such these treatments were incorporated in grower specific IPM modules evaluated for two years. Amongst the tested modules, integrated module (M1) followed by pesticide module (M3) were found most effective. However, for resource poor farmers and non-disruptive cultural module M1 and organic growers M2 could be alternatively practiced. It was concluded that for scale and psyllids, the insecticide protection is necessary but the infestation by lace bug could be managed by non-disruptive methods.
Comparative Study Between Extracapsular Dissection and Comparative Study Between Extracapsular Dissection and Superficial Parotidectomy in Treatment of Benign Parotid Tumors Superficial Parotidectomy in Treatment of Benign Parotid Tumors

Background: Preterm delivery occurrence (especially in thiose wome with a high risk) Predection is a matter of great importance in order to achieve careful antenatal care and decrease the incidence of associated maternal and fetal complications. Pregnant women US assessment, Since the development of transvaginal probes and the growing adoption of transvaginal sonography during pregnancy by patients, has been an essential aspect of obstetric diagnostic imaging recently. Aim of the work: to see if using ultrasound for cervical length measurements and uterine artery doppler may help predict preterm labour, especially in the high-risk mothers. Patients and methods: Our study included 100 pregnant women at gestational age 18-26 weeks with history of preterm labor & threatened preterm labor who were recruited from Port Said Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialized Hospital, Port Said, Egypt. Results: There was no discernible change in basic sociodemographic data based on the presence of premature labour. Except for the percentage of previous preterm, which was higher in the cases with preterm, there was no statistically significant variation in obstetric history according to the occurrence of preterm. When comparing the moms who gave birth to preterm babies to the mothers who gave birth to term babies, the percentage of HTN and dyslipidemia was statistically considerably greater. The preterm group had a statistically significantly greater rate of newborn problems. Conclusion: Diagnostic accuracy of cervical length measurement was higher as compared with the PI of uterine artery.

Background: Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is treated surgically by suboccipital craniectomy with or without duraplasty. Duraplasty may be performed using a variety of dural grafts, including autologous pericranium, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic substitutes. Aim of the work: To assess outcome and CSF leakage incidence according to type of dural graft in CM-I patients. Patients and methods: This study included twenty-eight patients with Chiari malformation type I who underwent posterior fossa decompression with duroplasty were randomly assigned into two equal groups: Group A (N=14): patients were treated with a dural substitute Engineered collagen matrix grafts (DuraGen). Group-B (N=14): patients were treated with free tissue fascia lata graft. All patients had neurological assessment and basal laboratory investigations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and craniocervical junction as well as computed tomography (CT) of the brain were done preoperatively. Results: Regarding clinical outcome, fascia lata group showed higher significant excellent rate (92.9%) than DuraGen group (57.1%) (p=0.032). Also, one patient showed good outcome and none showed poor outcome in patients with fascia lata graft while there were four patients with good outcome, two with poor outcome in DuraGen graft patients without significance. Considering postoperative complications, only one patient (7.1%) in fascia lata group showed tight bandage while DuraGen group showed eight patients (57.1%) with CSF leakage (p=0.001), four patients (28.6%) needed reoperations (p=0.033), two cases (14.3%) with Aseptic meningitis and ten cases (71.4%) with tight bandage (p < 0.001). Conclusion: CM-I decompression surgery with duraplasty by fascia lata graft has a better outcome and lower significant rate of CSF leakage and other postoperative complications than engineered collagen graft (DuraGen).
