Sea-level trends and interannual variability in the Caribbean Sea

Sea-level trends and their forcing have been investigated in the Caribbean Sea using altimetry and tide gauge time series from 19 stations. The basin average sea level rise is 1.7±1.3 mm y-1 for the period 1993-2010. Significant spatial variability of the trends is found. The steric variability above 800 m combined with the Global Isostatic Adjustment explains the observed trends for the altimetry period in most of the basin. Wind forcing changes causes the trends in the southern part of the basin, modulating the sea level through changes in the ocean circulation. The longest time series (102 y) of Cristobal shows a trend of 1.9±0.1 mm y-1 insignificantly different from the global mean sea level rise for the 20th century. By contrast Cartagena, a world heritage site, has a large trend (5.3±0.3 mm y-1) significantly affected by local vertical land movements. Stations dominated by the steric contribution have smaller trends (~ 1.3±0.2 mm y-1). Sea-level trends at tide gauges are not affected by atmospheric pressure changes or by the open ocean steric contribution at most stations. Decadal variability in the sea-level trends can partly be explained by steric and wind variability. The decadal variability in the trends is not spatially coherent. Interannual sea level variability accounts for 1/3 of the total sea level variability and can be partly explained by the influence of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at different time and spatial scales. No correlation with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is found.
Cultivation of Pleurotus spp. on agro-forest wastes of Manipur.

The proccessed substrates were pre-soaked in water for overnight and then partially pasteurized by immersing them for 2 to 3hr in boiling water. Excess water was drain off to maintain 60-70% moisture content by squeezing with hands and then allowed to cool down for a certain period (1hr). The cooled substrate was then mixed with grain spawn and filled in perforated polythene bags (60 x 45 cm). Spawning was done by ‘layer spawning method’ @ 100g/500g (dry wt.) of the substrate. After spawning, the mouth of the polythene bag was closed securely using a rubber band. For every treatment, 4 (four) replicates were kept. All the bags were then incubated in a warm dark room for spawn running. The temperature of the mushroom shed was maintained at 25-300C. The bags were cut open when the mycelial run was completed. Watering was done twice a day regularly and relative humidity (RH) was maintained at 80-90%. A total of 3 to 4 flushes were obtained within 45 days. Fresh weights of mushrooms were recorded upto third flush and biological efficiency of each Pleurotus sp. was calculated.

CBWF: A Lightweight Circular-Boundary-Based WiFi Fingerprinting Localization System

As a promising indoor localization technology, WiFi fingerprint-based localization encounters many issues that need to be addressed urgently, such as high-overhead fingerprint map construction, device heterogeneity among either mobile devices or access points (APs), etc. In this article, we present CBWF: a lightweight circular boundary -based WiFi fingerprinting localization system that is able to provide low-overhead, device calibration-free accurate indoor localization. CBWF achieves this by dividing a localization area into multiple subregions, and then leveraging the relation between the received signal strength (RSS) vectors from two different APs as fingerprints for localization. The key idea behind CBWF is that a superior division mechanism is attained to divide the localization area. Specifically, we propose the circle boundary mechanism to better approximate the real boundary of subregions, compared with the widely used linear boundary mechanism, and then sufficiently exploit the theoretical characteristics behind this novel mechanism. Extensive simulation and real-world experiments show that our lightweight system outperforms state-of-the-art approaches. Specifically, in a 40 m $\times 17$ m real scenario with only 20 reference points (RPs) and 11 APs, CBWF achieves an average localization accuracy of 2.95 and 4.15 m for two different mobile devices, respectively.

Adolescents and Electronic Vapor Product Use: A Dangerous Unknown

Electronic vapor products (EVPs) are non-conventional tobacco products that use a battery to heat liquid, generating an aerosol to be inhaled by the user. Despite being initially proposed as a harm reduction tool for adults looking to quit conventional tobacco cigarettes, EVP usage has grown significantly in the adolescent population over the past decade. Data from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) show that currently, in the United States, 36% of adolescents have ever used an EVP, 18% currently use an EVP, and 5% use EVPs daily. Initial studies have raised concerns about the health effects on multiple organ systems (e.g., respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurodevelopmental), and little information is known about the long-term effects, as well as the impacts specific to the still-developing adolescent body. EVP usage in the adolescent population is a public health crisis. The purpose of this narrative review is to address what is known thus far and to advise areas of focus for future research and advocacy.
Spatial-temporal Characteristics of Methane Emission Flux and Its Influence Factors at Miyun Reservoir in Beijing

Methane emission from the reservoirs has been one of the hot issues in the green energy development debate.This study focuses on the study of spatial-temporal variation of methane emission flux at Miyun Reservoir in Beijing.Gas samples were taken at three zones of the water reservoir,including the surrounding non-wetland zone,the permanent water body of the reservoir,and' the seasonal flooded zone between the non-wetland and the water body.Standardized static chambers were applied to assist gas sampling in June,August and October 2009 and January and May 2010,these months represent the 4 seasons(January for winter, May for spring,June and August for summer,and October for autumn)in Beijing.Meanwhile,key environmental factors that may contribute to the methane emission flux were measured,including soil temperature at 5 cm depth,ground surface temperature,surface temperature of water,water depth and plant biomass.The results showed that there was a significant seasonal variation of methane emission flux at the seasonal flooded zone,the methane emission fluxes in June and August 2009 were significantly higher than those in other seasons (paired-samples T test:n=6,p0.05),and those at the water body zone(paired-samples T test:n=9,p0.05). At the flooded zone,methane emission flux in June and August 2009 far higher than that in May 2010; at water zone,the one in summer was higher.No significant seasonal difference in methane emission flux from the non-wetland zone around the reservoir(paired-samples T test:n=6,p0.05). The methane emission flux had a significant spatial variation from the surrounding non-wetland zone to the seasonal flooded zone and the permanent water body(one-way ANOVA:p0.01,df=80). Among 3 zones,the maximum methane emission flux was(5.780±8.683)mg/(m~2·h)occurred at seasonal flooded zone,compared with(0.002±0.178) mg/(m~2·h)at non-wetland zone,(0.298±0.313)mg/(m~2·h)at the permanent water body of the reservoir.Those results provided an evidence of a significant increase of methane emission flux when non-wetland is transformed into water reservoir.The methane emission flux was also influenced by a number of environmental factors.Under dry environment or at dry season,e.g.,sampling sites located at the non-wetland zone and the seasonal flooded zone,its methane emission flux was mainly controlled by fresh plant biomass(n=42,r=0.532 4, p0.01),whereas both ground surface temperature and soil temperature at 5 cm depth had not any significant impact on methane emission flux.Under flooded conditions or at wet season,e.g.,sampling sites located at the seasonal flooded zone and the permanent water zone,the methane emission flux was significantly promoted by surface water temperature(n=39,r=0.529 2,p0.01),and negatively correlated with water depth of the reservoir in August and October 2009(n=9,r=0.852 6,p0.01;n=9,r=0.753,p0.05),implied the water deeper of the reservoir,the lower rate of methane emitted to the atmosphere.
Variations in the Teleconnection of ENSO and Summer Rainfall in Northern China: A Role of the Indian Summer Monsoon*

Abstract Observational studies have created a dilemma on how El Nino–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) may have affected interannual variations of summer rainfall in northern China; some suggested a consistent effect while others showed a complete lack of effect. This dilemma is resolved in this study, which shows that ENSO has affected the summer rainfall in northern China and the effect has varied at multidecadal scales. The question of how the ENSO teleconnection with northern China rainfall variation was established is addressed, and an answer pointing to the Indian summer monsoon as a “facilitator” connecting ENSO and northern China rainfall variation is examined. The Indian monsoon circulation interacted with the regional circulations in northern China in some epochs and such interaction was interrupted in other epochs. When the interaction was active, the Indian monsoon variations originating from ENSO, during El Nino or La Nina, was extended to affect the rainfall variation in northern China, creating a.
Status of the Building Blocks for Sustainable Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Systems in Nepal: A Review

The paper aims at reviewing the building blocks of sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems in the context of Nepal. The study consisted of a descriptive research design based on secondary data that were collected from different published documents. The review was made through descriptive comparison, percentages, graphs, and ratios to compare whether the country’s status is in line with the global context. The study concludes that the proportion of the population having safely managed water services in Nepal (16 percent) is quite lower than the global average (73 percent). Moreover, the proportion of the population having safely managed sanitation services in Nepal (51 percent) is slightly lower than the global average (57 percent). Similarly, the proportion of the population having basic hygiene services in Nepal (64 percent) is lower than the global average (75 percent). Furthermore, the findings on the status of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems are mixed in the context of Nepal. Some of them have good progress and some of them need to be accelerated to go a long way to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030. The study further concludes that institutionalization, policy and legislation, and accountability mechanisms at the federal level have been initiated while it is yet to materialize at the provincial and local levels. In the case of planning, only 10 percent of rural/municipalities completed their WASH plan. In terms of finance, there is not only a resource gap but also two-thirds of the total country’s WASH budget has been allocated at the federal level. Action research should be prioritized to capture learning and awareness leading to adaptation and knowledge creation in the sector. The study can be extended by incorporating the citizens’ views on WASH systems strengthening in the context of Nepal.
THE INFLUENCE OF WORKLOAD AND COMPENSATION ON STUDENT WORK SATISFACTION IN CERTIFIED INTERNSHIP & INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM (MSIB) CLASS 3 PT. INKA MULTI SOLUSI SERVICE IN THE CITY OF MADIUN

Workload refers to the volume and intensity of tasks and responsibilities assigned to interns during their internship period. It encompasses the amount of work, deadlines, complexity, and the level of autonomy given to students. Compensation, on the other hand, refers to the monetary or non-monetary benefits provided to interns for their work. This study aims to determine the effect of workload on job satisfaction, the effect of compensation on job satisfaction, and the effect of workload and compensation on student job satisfaction in the Certified Independent Study & Internship Program (MSIB) Batch 3 PT. INKA Multi Solusi Service in Madiun City. The study utilizes quantitative data obtained from questionnaires distributed to 35 participants. The data were analyzed using the simple linear regression analysis method with the help of SPSS for data processing to prove the hypothesis. The results indicate that the workload variable has a significant negative effect on job satisfaction, meaning that higher workloads are associated with lower job satisfaction. Conversely, the compensation variable has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction, meaning that higher compensation leads to higher levels of job satisfaction. Simultaneously, the variables of workload and compensation show a significant combined effect, suggesting that lower workloads and higher compensation result in higher job satisfaction among students in the 3rd batch of the Certified Independent Study & Internship Program PT. INKA Multi Solusi Service in Madiun City.
Regolith evolution and geochemical dispersion in transported and residual regolith – Bronzewing gold deposit

Geochemical dispersion in the regolith was investigated at the Bronzewing gold deposit in a variety of geomorphological environments. A series of economic gold deposits are concealed by 5–35 m of sediments, and a thick residual profile about 100 m thick. Prior to mining, samples of regolith materials were collected from surface and drill cuttings, along several lines over the north–south trending, elongate zone of mineralization. These samples were examined in detail to determine element distributions, their relationship to regolith evolution and their significance to exploration. The residual materials (lateritic residuum and ferruginous saprolite) have Au, W and Cu anomalies in the vicinity of the deposit. Elements associated with the Au mineralization in the lateritic residuum of the Laterite Pit are Ag, Ba, Ce, W, Mo, As, Sb and Cu. Gold anomalies in lateritic residuum are less consistent in the Discovery Pit and, at both the Central and Discovery Pits, are enriched in Cu and W only close to the weathered primary mineralization. Three-dimensional modelling indicates that Au in saprolite is localized and largely residual. Geochemical dispersion from primary mineralization into the sediments is only minor, except immediately overlying the lateritic residuum or saprolite. This dispersion is, however, almost entirely mechanical and there appears to have been little, if any, post-depositional chemical dispersion. Ferruginous mottles developed in palaeochannel sediments have very low Au contents (<5 ppb) but are slightly enriched in Cu. There is a significant concentration of Au (up to 300 ppb) in authigenic smectites formed at the residual-transported interface. The deposits are blind to soil sampling (10–30 cm depth) using total and several partial extraction techniques. The results demonstrate that dispersion of ore-related elements at Bronzewing is mostly confined to the lateritic residuum and ferruginous saprolite and that sampling of these materials, even if buried beneath transported overburden, will readily locate deposits of this type. However, it is important to distinguish between residual and transported regolith, especially nodules and pisoliths. In the absence of residual materials, sampling of the lowermost sedimentary units (gravelly sediments), possibly including the unconformity, is recommended because it may show the geochemical dispersion that is wider than the primary anomaly in saprolite or bedrock. The results also provide strong support for the use of multi-element geochemistry, with elements such as Cu and W being enriched close to primary mineralization.
Low bone mineral density is associated with gray matter volume decrease in UK Biobank

Objectives Previous research has found an association of low bone mineral density (BMD) and regional gray matter (GM) volume loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We were interested whether BMD is associated with GM volume decrease in brains of a healthy elderly population from the UK Biobank. Materials and methods T1-weighted images from 5,518 women (MAge = 70.20, SD = 3.54; age range: 65–82 years) and 7,595 men (MAge = 70.84, SD = 3.68; age range: 65–82 years) without neurological or psychiatric impairments were included in voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis in CAT12 with threshold-free-cluster-enhancement (TFCE) across the whole brain. Results We found a significant decrease of GM volume in women in the superior frontal gyri, middle temporal gyri, fusiform gyri, temporal poles, cingulate gyri, precunei, right parahippocampal gyrus and right hippocampus, right ventral diencephalon, and right pre- and postcentral gyrus. Only small effects were found in men in subcallosal area, left basal forebrain and entorhinal area. Conclusion BMD is associated with low GM volume in women but less in men in regions afflicted in the early-stages of AD even in a sample without neurodegenerative diseases.
Association of Quadriceps Angle (Q Angle) with Gender, Anthropometric Measurements and Quadriceps Muscle Strength in Healthy Young Adults

Background: Quadriceps angle is the angle produced between the quadriceps muscle and the patellar tendon, which is also known as Q angle. It is also regarded as a key component for the correct knee posture and movement. Q angle is frequently employed as a diagnostic indicator for knee-related issues such as anterior knee pain, degenerative knee disorders, osteoarthritis etc. It has a great clinical and biomechanics significance and this angle gives useful information about alignment of lower limb. Present study shows association of Q angle with gender, various anthropometric measurements and Quadriceps muscle strength. Methods: Total 150 healthy young individuals (20 male and 130 female) between the age of 18 to 30 years from the different constituent institutes of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth University were included in the study. Q angle was measured in degrees by using universal goniometer on both sides. Anthropometric measurements - Height, weight. Body mass index, Waist and Hip circumference, Intercondylar distance between femur and Quadriceps muscle strength were measured. Results: In this study, the correlation between Q angle and Anthropometric measurements were analyzed. The mean Q angle on right side was 18.87 and on left side was 18.87. Bilaterally, no significant differences were found in Q angle. The angle of right and left side was significantly correlated with weight, height, BMI, intercondylar distance and quadriceps muscle strength. However, these angles are not correlated with WHR. Conclusion: This study supported positive correlation of weight and BMI with Q angle; negative correlation of height, intercondylar distance of femur and quadriceps muscle strength with Q angle. Although, no significant correlation was found between Q angle and WHR.
Metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses of microbial amino acid metabolism during Cantonese soy sauce fermentation

Cantonese soy sauce is an important type of traditional Chinese brewed soy sauce that was developed in southern China, mainly in Guangdong. Due to the long fermentation period and complex microbiota in Cantonese soy sauce, there are few reports on the microbial metaproteomics of Cantonese soy sauce. In this study, integrative metagenomic and metaproteomic analyzes were used to identify the changes in the dominant microbiota and amino acid synthesis-related enzymes and metabolism during Cantonese soy sauce fermentation. Metagenomic analysis revealed that Tetragenococcus halophilus, Weissella confusa, Weissella paramesenteroides, Enterobacter hormaechei, and Aspergillus oryzae were the dominant microbiota. Using the Top 15 dominant microbiota identified by metagenomics as the database, LTQ Orbitrap Velos Pro ETD mass spectrometry was used to obtain metaproteomic information about the microbes in the soy sauce, and the results indicated that the active enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids were secreted by microorganisms such as A. oryzae, T. halophilus, and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. During the Cantonese soy sauce fermentation process. Among them, early fermentation (0-15d) was dominated by A. oryzae and T. halophilus, mid-term fermentation (60-90d) was dominated by Z. rouxii, A. oryzae, and T. halophilus, and late fermentation (90-120d) was dominated by A. oryzae, Z. rouxii, and T. halophilus. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that the main enzymes involved in the metabolism of umami amino acids were aspartate aminotransferase, citrate synthase, aconitase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase, which were produced by Z. rouxii and A. oryzae during early fermentation (0–15 d) and the middle fermentation stage (60–90 d). This study constructed a regulatory network of enzymes potentially involved in the metabolism of flavor amino acids, which provided a theoretical basis for studying the amino acid metabolism of Cantonese soy sauce.
