Structural Development of Jebel Abd Al Aziz, Northeast Syria

Jebel Abd Al Aziz, one of the most prominent topographic features in northeastern Syria, is a large surface anticline. An integrated structural and stratigraphic study conducted by Unocal from 1988 to 1995 resulted in recognition that Jebel Abd Al Aziz originated from inversion of a pre-existing graben. Understanding the complex structural and stratigraphic history of the Jebel Abd Al Aziz is important to hydrocarbon exploration and development in the northern Arabian tectonic plate. This importance is demonstrated by the strong correlation between hydrocarbon productive areas and the areas of Plio-Pleistocene structural inversion. Our study illustrates how the evolution of this structure is recorded in its local stratigraphy. Prior to the development of the Jebel Abd Al Aziz structure, Senonian shelf carbonates prograded southward from Turkey into the Palmyride-Sinjar Trough that extended from west central to northeastern Syria. The shelf edge of this carbonate system was south of and subparallel to the Syrian border. In the Jebel Abd Al Aziz area, fine-grained basinal mudstones were deposited on a thin, transgressive, rudistid, bioclastic unit. In Early Maastrichtian, an east-west-trending graben developed at the present site of Jebel Abd Al Aziz. Reactivated northwest- and northeast-striking faults bound structural blocks within the graben. Seismic data indicate that the edges of the rift basin were deeply eroded. Valleys, cut into the sides of the basin along the trend of the older cross-cutting regional faults, exposed Carboniferous and possibly older strata. Olistostromes formed along the basin-bounding fault scarps and small turbidite fans developed at the channel mouths. Paleocurrent direction data from the turbidite sand bodies corresponds well with the trends of the valleys mapped on seismic data. Maastrichtian-age sediments are largely confined to the graben proper. Early Tertiary sediments filled a wider basin, but there is evidence that minor episodic inversion on some northeast and northwest trending faults occurred during the Eocene and early Miocene. The main inversion of the Jebel Abd Al Aziz structure occurred in the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene. Inversion produced a large fault-propagation fold above east-west trending faults near the northern margin of the graben. Smaller folds developed above other graben-bounding faults and the northeast- and northwest-striking faults within the graben underwent oblique slip during the deformation.

Multi-Omics Approach to Elucidate Cerebrospinal Fluid Changes in Dogs with Intervertebral Disc Herniation

Herniation of the intervertebral disc (IVDH) is the most common cause of neurological and intervertebral disc degeneration-related diseases. Since the disc starts to degenerate before it can be observed by currently available diagnostic methods, there is an urgent need for novel diagnostic approaches. To identify molecular networks and pathways which may play important roles in intervertebral disc herniation, as well as to reveal the potential features which could be useful for monitoring disease progression and prognosis, multi-omics profiling, including high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics and tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics was performed. Cerebrospinal fluid of nine dogs with IVDH and six healthy controls were used for the analyses, and an additional five IVDH samples were used for proteomic data validation. Furthermore, multi-omics data were integrated to decipher a complex interaction between individual omics layers, leading to an improved prediction model. Together with metabolic pathways related to amino acids and lipid metabolism and coagulation cascades, our integromics prediction model identified the key features in IVDH, namely the proteins follistatin Like 1 (FSTL1), secretogranin V (SCG5), nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1), calcitonin re-ceptor-stimulating peptide 2 precursor (CRSP2) and the metabolites N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and adenine, involved in neuropathic pain, myelination, and neurotransmission and inflammatory response, respectively. Their clinical application is to be further investigated. The utilization of a novel integrative interdisciplinary approach may provide new opportunities to apply innovative diagnostic and monitoring methods as well as improve treatment strategies and personalized care for patients with degenerative spinal disorders.
Development and Realization an Android Based Software to Support Feasibility Study of Harmonics Mitigation

Harmonic distortion is not a new phenomenon and has several detrimental impacts on electrical power system. Therefore, installation of harmonic filter is needed to mitigate and suppress it. Most PC based software have been developed to conduct feasibility study such as OrCAD, ETAP, DigSILENT, PSIM, etc. Unfortunately, all of them only provide the harmonics data of power electronics from their library which can lead the simulation into inaccurate result since it will produce a wide range of deviation until 179,8% in the simulation of last research in reference [16]. Meanwhile conduct simulation using measured data from real condition of power system, comparing the harmonics distortion occurred to the standard, and filter’s parameter calculation can’t be conducted on those software yet. This research proposes an Android based software namely HFMS Usakti, an application to conduct harmonics distortion feasibility study more accurate and efficient. HFMS Usakti consists of three main steps: automatically check and compare harmonics distortion occurred according to the Standard IEEE 519TM-2014, automatically calculate the parameter of filters, and automatically simulate harmonics distortion after filtering. This research consists of three main aspects: application design, development, and testing. In the end, HFMS Usakti has been validated using PSIM software and experimental testing. The result shows that HFMS Usakti works properly and be able to significantly eliminate the deviation between the measured data and simulation value of harmonics distortion before filtering from 179,8% to 0%.

Influence of Industrial Processing on Physiochemical Characteristics of Soybean Oil and Deodorizer Distillates

The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of industrial processing (neutralization/degumming, bleaching, and deodorization) on physicochemical characteristics of soybean oil and soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SBO-DD) collected from two different industries. The substantial impact of processing was observed on all physicochemical parameters except the iodine value (IV) and saponification value (SV). Gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analytical techniques were used for the quantification of individual fatty acids, sterols, and 3-monochloropropane diol (3-MCPD) ester. Among the fatty acids, palmitic and linoleic acids were present at higher concentrations in all processing stages. Among sterols, β-sitosterol was found to be higher (25.65 and#181;g/g) in crude soybean oil and reduced to 16.44 and#181;g/g after processing till the final deodorization stage. 3-MCPD ester was developed during the neutralization/degumming process and further increased during bleaching and deodorization up to 315 and#181;g/kg, respectively. SBO-DD was found to be a rich source of total and individual sterols as compared to crude or processed soybean oil. High free fatty acid (FFA) level in deodorizer distillate indicated that SBO-DD is a potential source of biodiesel production.

Single nuclear transcriptional signatures of dysfunctional brain vascular homeostasis in Alzheimer’s disease

Brain perfusion and normal blood brain barrier integrity are reduced early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We performed single nucleus RNA sequencing of vascular cells isolated from AD and control brains to characterise pathological transcriptional signatures. We found that endothelial cells (EC) are enriched for expression of genes associated with susceptibility to AD. EC transcriptional signatures identified mechanisms for impaired β-amyloid clearance. Evidence for immune activation was found with upregulation of interferon signalling genes in EC and in pericytes (PC). Transcriptional signatures suggested dysregulation of vascular homeostasis and angiogenesis with upregulation of pro-angiogenic signals (HIF1A) and metabolism in EC, but downregulation of homeostatic growth factor pathways (VEGF, EGF, insulin) in EC and PC and of extracellular matrix genes in fibroblasts (FB). Our genomic dissection of vascular cell risk gene enrichment suggests a potentially causal role for EC and defines transcriptional signatures associated with microvascular dysfunction in AD.
Clay Minerals as Bioink Ingredients for 3D Printing and 3D Bioprinting: Application in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

The adaptation and progress of 3D printing technology toward 3D bioprinting (specifically adapted to biomedical purposes) has opened the door to a world of new opportunities and possibilities in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this regard, 3D bioprinting allows for the production of tailor-made constructs and organs as well as the production of custom implants and medical devices. As it is a growing field of study, currently, the attention is heeded on the optimization and improvement of the mechanical and biological properties of the so-called bioinks/biomaterial inks. One of the strategies proposed is the use of inorganic ingredients (clays, hydroxyapatite, graphene, carbon nanotubes and other silicate nanoparticles). Clays have proven to be useful as rheological and mechanical reinforcement in a wide range of fields, from the building industry to pharmacy. Moreover, they are naturally occurring materials with recognized biocompatibility and bioactivity, revealing them as optimal candidates for this cutting-edge technology. This review deals with the use of clays (both natural and synthetic) for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine through 3D printing and bioprinting. Despite the limited number of studies, it is possible to conclude that clays play a fundamental role in the formulation and optimization of bioinks and biomaterial inks since they are able to improve their rheology and mechanical properties, thus improving printability and construct resistance. Additionally, they have also proven to be exceptionally functional ingredients (enhancing cellular proliferation, adhesion, differentiation and alignment), controlling biodegradation and carrying/releasing actives with tissue regeneration therapeutic activities.
Gender differences in test anxiety

GENDER DIFFERENCE IN TEST ANXIETY Angela M. Fiore The research regarding overall general test anxiety and sex difference is contradictory at best. There is no clear answer to the research question concerning general test anxiety and sex difference according to the literature. An experiment using the modified Suinn Test Anxiety Behavior Scale (1971) was conducted to detect differences between the sexes with regard to test anxiety. There was no overall significant difference between the genders; however, when a multivariate regression was conducted to account for variability contributed by age and class, there was a statistically significant difference. This finding can be perceived as an indication that it is not gender alone that causes significant differences in general test anxiety. More research must be conducted to isolate the variables accounting for significant differences.
Predictive Factors Influencing Functional Results After Proximal Hamstring Tendon Avulsion Surgery: A Patient-Reported Outcome Study After 227 Operations From a Single Center

Background: Although debilitating, proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injuries are rare and often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Consequently, delayed diagnosis and surgical treatment may result in poor outcomes. Studies investigating a correlation between postoperative functional outcomes and this delay in surgical treatment or other concomitant factors in large cohorts have not yet been performed to our knowledge. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to conduct an investigation in a large patient group regarding factors that could influence a patient’s functional outcome after hamstring surgery. We hypothesized that this outcome would significantly correlate to the time between trauma and surgery. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Patients who received surgical treatment of proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injuries in our institution between the years 2010 and 2020 were asked to complete a validated, injury-specific outcome measurement, the Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT; 0-100 points). In addition to calculating these outcomes, we evaluated the association of the obtained results with possible predictive factors such as age, sex, stump retraction shown on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and timing and duration of surgery. Results: A total of 226 patients (227 operations) were eligible for the study, and 204 cases of hamstring tendon avulsion injury met our inclusion criteria. The return rate for the PHAT questionnaire was 85.3%. The mean PHAT score revealed good results (79.8 ± 19.1). Irrespective of concomitant factors, the scores of male patients were significantly higher compared with those of female patients (83.8 ± 16.9 vs 75.8 ± 20.6 respectively; P = .004). The mean time to surgery was 5.7 weeks after trauma, and more delayed surgery correlated significantly with lower PHAT scores (P = .003; r = –0.228). The mean degree of stump retraction on MRI (5 cm) did not significantly influence PHAT scores (P = .525; r = –0.06). Conclusion: Delay of surgery and female sex were disadvantageous in terms of a good functional outcome measure (PHAT score) after hamstring tendon refixation surgery. By contrast, patient age as well as the retraction of the tendon stump on preoperative MRI did not influence PHAT scores in the present study.
The Accidental Origins, Underappreciated Limits, and Enduring Promises of Platform Transparency Reporting about Information Operations

Intense public and regulatory pressure following revelations of Russian interference in the US 2016 election led social media platforms to develop new policies to demonstrate how they had addressed the troll-shaped blind spot in their content moderation practices. This moment also gave rise to new transparency regimes that endure to this day and have unique characteristics, notably: the release of regular public reports of enforcement measures; the provision of underlying data to external stakeholders and, sometimes, the public; and collaboration across industry and with government. Despite these positive features, platform policies and transparency regimes related to information operations remain poorly understood. Underappreciated ambiguities and inconsistencies in platforms’ work in this area create perverse incentives for enforcement and distort public understanding of information operations. Highlighting these weaknesses is important as platforms expand content moderation practices in ways that build on the methods used in this domain. As platforms expand these practices, they are not continuing to invest in their transparency regimes, and the early promise and momentum behind the creation of these pockets of transparency are being lost as public and regulatory focus turns to other areas of content moderation.
Spatiotemporal Rates of Tectonic Deformation and Landscape Evolution above a Laterally Propagating Thrust Fault: Wheeler Ridge Anticline, California, USA

The Wheeler Ridge anticline, located in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California, USA, is a well-studied and classic example of a laterally growing fault propagation fold. New high-resolution lidar elevation data combined with nine infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) ages of discrete geomorphic surfaces that are bounded by prominent transverse wind and river gaps allow for investigation of tectonic topography through time. Luminescence ages from four of the six surfaces yield depositional ages that range from 32 ka to 153 ka, which are broadly consistent with a previously published soil chronosequence. Our graphical modeling indicates an average surface uplift rate of ~2.1 mm/yr and an average along-strike fold propagation rate of ~20 mm/yr. However, our probabilistic modelling and topographic analysis suggest a rate decrease of both uplift and lateral propagation toward the fault tip from ~2.4 to 0.7 mm/yr and from ~49 to 14 mm/yr, respectively. Rate decreases are not progressive but rather occur in punctuated deformational intervals across previously documented structural barriers (tear faults) resulting in a fold that is characterized by discrete segments that exhibit a systematic deformational decrease toward the east. The punctuated tectonic growth of Wheeler Ridge has also locally controlled the topographic evolution of the anticline by effecting the formational timing and position of at least seven wind and river gaps that result from multiple north-flowing antecedent streams that traverse the growing structure. We quantify the timing of wind and river gap formation, based on IRSL results and inferred incision rates, and present a model for the spatiotemporal evolution of transverse drainages and the topographic development of Wheeler Ridge. Our chronology of gap formation broadly correlates with regional Late Pleistocene dry climate intervals suggesting that both tectonics and climate were integral to the geomorphic development of the Wheeler Ridge anticline.
