Veri ﬁ cation, implementation and harmonization of automated chemiluminescent immunoassays for MPO-and PR3-ANCA detection

Objectives: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) testing assists clinicians diagnose ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). We aimed to verify and harmonize chemiluminescent immunoassays for the detection of myeloperoxidase (MPO)- and proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA. Methods: An in-house ELISA, a capture ELISA, and a chemiluminescent assay QUANTA Flash on a BIO-FLASH analyzer were used to detect MPO-and PR3-ANCA in sera from 39 patients with AAV, 55 patients with various non-AAV, and 66 patients with connective tissue diseases. The results of the assays were evaluated, and their clinical performance was assessed. The precision and linearity of the QUANTA Flash assays were determined, and likelihood ratios (LRs) for AAV at diagnosis were calculated. Results: The precision and linearity of the QUANTA Flash assays were con ﬁ rmed. Overall agreement between 97.5 and 98.8 % and Cohen ’ s kappa coe ﬃ cients between 0.861 and 0.947 were observed for the results of the QUANTA Flash assays and ELISAs. The diagnostic sensitivity, speci ﬁ city, and ROC analysis of the assays for AAV were statistically similar (in-house ELISA 89.7 %, 95.0 %, and 0.937; capture ELISA 92.3 %, 98.3 %, and 0.939; and QUANTA Flash 89.7 %, 95.9 %, and 0.972). For the QUANTA Flash assay results, the interval-speci ﬁ c LRs for AAV at diagnosis were: 0 – 8 CU had LR 0.08, 8 – 29 CU had LR 1.03, 29 – 121 CU had LR 7.76, 121 – 191 CU had LR 12.4, and >191 CU had LR ∞ . Conclusions: The QUANTA Flash MPO and PR3 assays provide precise and consistent results and have comparable clinical utility for AAV. The calculated LRs were consistent with published LRs, con ﬁ rming the utility of LRs for harmonization of ANCA results.
Quality of Work Life of Public Secondary School Teachers in Far-Flung Areas: A Mixed Methods Study

: The primary goal of this mixed method study was to determine the quality of work life of public secondary school teachers in far-flung areas using the convergent approach in which quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analyzed separately, and then merged. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to test whether the quality of work life of selected 400 public secondary school teachers using an adapted survey questionnaire differ when grouped according to age, sex, and length of service. Also, the quality of work life through their lived experiences were extracted from seven participants during the in-depth interview and ten for focus group discussion. Adapted survey questionnaires were given to a sample of 400 teachers from public secondary school teachers in the region. Results showed that the status of quality of work life was rated high in the quantitative phase; these were then merged and converged with responses in the qualitative phase as being expressed by teachers in far-flung areas. Moreover, the teachers in far-flung areas may participate in the intervention program, which is the output of this study, abbreviated as SHAS for Seminars, H for help from the LGUs and assistance from other stakeholders, and A for ask assistance from more experienced teachers to assist in trainings.
Synchrotron-based X-ray tomographic images and segmentation techniques to account for effects of grain contacts and micro-cracks on rock properties

Synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy provides ultra-high-resolution 3D digital images of rock microstructures. We describe this method and, to demonstrate its wide applicability, we present 3D images of very different rock types: Berea sandstone, Fontainebleau sandstone, dolomite, calcitic dolomite, and three-phase magmatic glasses. For some samples, full and partial saturation scenarios are considered using oil, water, and air. We provide the raw image data sets as online supplementary material, along with laboratory data describing the rock properties. By making these data sets available to other research groups, we aim to stimulate work based on digital rock images of high quality and high resolution. We also present results from an image segmentation workflow with subsequent computation of permeability and velocities.
Paleomagnetism of the Santa Fé Group, central Brazil: Implications for the late Paleozoic apparent polar wander path for South America

[1] Paleomagnetic and rockmagnetic data are reported for the Floresta Formation (Santa Fe Group) of the Sanfranciscana Basin, central Brazil. This formation represents the Permo-Carboniferous glacial record of the basin and comprises the Brocoto (diamictites and flow diamictites), Brejo do Arroz (red sandstones and shales with dropstones and invertebrate trails), and Lavado (red sandstones) members, which crop out near the cities of Santa Fe de Minas and Canabrava, Minas Gerais State. Both Brejo do Arroz and Lavado members were sampled in the vicinities of the two localities. Alternating field and thermal demagnetizations of 268 samples from 76 sites revealed reversed components of magnetization in all samples in accordance with the Permo-Carboniferous Reversed Superchron. The magnetic carriers are magnetite and hematite with both minerals exhibiting the same magnetization component, suggesting a primary origin for the remanence. We use the high-quality paleomagnetic pole for the Santa Fe Group (330.9°E 65.7°S; N = 60; α95 = 4.1°; k = 21) in a revised late Carboniferous to early Triassic apparent polar wander path for South America. On the basis of this result it is shown that an early Permian Pangea A-type fit is possible if better determined paleomagnetic poles become available.
A Site-Conditions Map for California Based on Geology and Shear-Wave Velocity

One simple way of accounting for site conditions in calculating seismic hazards is to use the shear-wave velocity in the shallow subsurface to classify materials. The average shear-wave velocity to 30 m ( V 30s) has been used to develop site categories that can be used for modifying a calculated ground motion to account for site conditions. We have prepared a site-category map of California by first classifying the geologic units shown on 1:250,000 scale geologic maps. Our classification of geologic units is based on V 30s measured in 556 profiles and geological similarities between units for which we have V s data and the vast majority of units for which we have no data. We then digitized the geologic boundaries from those maps that separated units with different site classifications. V s data for California shows that several widespread geologic units have ranges of V 30s values that cross the boundaries between NEHRP-UBC site categories. The Franciscan Complex has V 30s values across UBC categories B and C with a mean value near the boundary between those two categories. Older alluvium and late Tertiary bedrock have V 30s values that range from about 300 to about 450 m/sec, across the boundary between categories C and D. To accommodate these units we have created intermediate categories, which we informally call BC and CD. Geologic units that have, or are interpreted to have, V 30s values near the boundary of the UBC categories are placed in these intermediate units. In testing our map against the available V 30s measurements, we have found that 74% of the measured V 30s values fall within the range assigned to the V s category where they fall on the map. This ratio is quite good considering the inherent problems in plotting site-specific data on a regional map and the variability of physical properties in geologic units. We have also calculated the mean and distribution of V 30s for each of our map units and prepared composite profiles, showing the variation of V s in the upper 100 m from the available V s data. These data show that the map categories that we have defined based on geologic units have different V s properties that can be taken into account in calculating seismic hazards.
Trapping/Detrapping Kinetic Modeling Under Positive/Negative Gate Stress Including Inhibition Dynamics in 4H-SiC MOS Capacitors

Incorporating inhibition dynamics for the first time, in this work, we successfully model the trapping and detrapping kinetics under positive and negative bias stress in 4H-SiC MOS-capacitors. The positive/negative gate bias stress is applied during extended measure stress measure (eMSM)-fast C–V measurements, demonstrating noticeable trapping/detrapping dynamics. Analytical expressions based on the inhibition mechanism are developed to successfully model the trapping/detrapping phenomenon and estimate the location of the trap, which is found to be 1 nm from the dielectric/SiC interface due to border/interface traps. The developed analytical model can provide valuable insights in understanding positive/negative bias instability in SiC technology.
Teallite from the Toyoha mine, Hokkaido

Teallite was firstly found in Japan from a new vein (Sorachi uwaban-hi) of the Toyoha mine, Hokkaido. It occurs in association with galena and sometimes sphalerite in central drusy portion of zinc and lead veinlet, 0.5 to 1.0cm in width, which cuts principal pyrite ore containing sphalerite, arsenopyrite, quartz and small amounts of cassiterite and stannite in the vein. Teallite appears as aggregate of curved thin-platy or flaky crystals, 0.5 to 5.0mm in length and 1 to 20μm in thickness, and shows metallic ruster of silver white in color. Under ore microscope, it has distinct pleochroism from yellowish white to pale brownish white, and strong anisotropism from brownish gray to bluish brown. It changes to black immediately by HNO3 (1:1), and reacts slightly with FeCl3 (20%) to stain pale brown. No etching reaction with HCl(1:1), HgCl2 (sat.), KCN (20%) and KOH (sat.) was observed. The reflectances measured at 406, 436, 497, 546, 586 and 648nm in wave length are: 34.3-50.0, 31.5-50.7, 32.1-50.2, 34.7-49.7, 35.2-48.6, 34.5-49.5%, respectively. Vickers hardness (10g load) on {010} is 10.8-19.3kg/mm2. Its cell dimension is orthorhombic, a=4.258 (1), b=11.447 (3), c=4.103 (1)A. Chemical compositions of teallite obtained by EPMA are Pb1.07-1.10Cu0. 02-0.04Fe0. 01-0.02Zn0. 02-0.08Sn0. 84-0.87S1. 95-2.02 on the basis of 4 atoms per molecule. They are plotted in PbS side of PbSnS2 in the PbS-SnS join, although all the compositions of teallite reported by authors up to now are in the SnS side of the join.
Mobilizing Professors’ Support of Digital Change: Multi-Level Insights on IT Resources as a Boundary Condition

The success of top-down digital change initiatives in higher education institutions (HEIs) largely depends on the support of professors as change recipients and catalysts within their departments. For effectively managing change, a better understanding of how process factors under management control (i.e., vision communication, change facilitation, participation opportunities, change coordination) simultaneously relate to professors’ cognitive and behavioral change support is crucial. Moreover, we examine how department-level IT resources as a context factor shape process–reaction relationships. Based on data from 1,400 professors nested in 258 departments within German HEIs, multilevel regression analyses support the relevance of vision communication, change facilitation, and participation opportunities — but not of change coordination. As department-level IT resources increase, vision communication more strongly relates to cognitive change support, pointing to unexplored higher-level boundary conditions of vision communication. Our study advances knowledge about mobilizing change support and managing top-down change with limited top-down influence to impose change.
Geobotánica, estructura demográfica, consevación y biología predispersiva de prunus lusitanica L. (loro) en la Península Ibérica

La Peninsula Iberica alberga una de las floras mas ricas de Europa en la que se reconoce un amplio espectro de elementos floristicos. Entre ellos sobresale el elemento Paleotropical cuyos integrantes constituyen la huella de una vegetacion primitiva extinta con notables relaciones con las actuales laurisilvas subtropicales. El loro (Prunus lusitanica) se incluye en este conjunto de plantas y se considera un superviviente de los bosques de niebla lauroides que poblaron las montanas en la cuenca mediterranea durante el Terciario. Es, por tanto, una planta singular en el seno de la flora iberica y su caracter relictual le otorga una gran importancia paleofitogeografica. En la presente memoria doctoral se muestran y discuten parte de los resultados obtenidos sobre la variabilidad floristica, demografia y ciclo vital de Prunus lusitanica L (loro). La variabilidad floristica detectada en las loreras ibericas responde fundamentalmente a los dos dominios biogeograficos predominantes en la peninsula Iberica (Mediterraneo y Templado-atlantico). Tambien queda patente que las loreras son formaciones freatofitas, ricas en plantas caducifolias y hemicriptofitos exigentes en humedad de optimo templado y atlantico. La presion humana parece condicionar condiciona no solo la abundancia del loro (cerca de 31.000 ejemplares) sino tambien su capacidad de regeneracion poblacional a escala iberica, regional y local. Solamente en determinados enclaves se observa que el loro ha escapado recientemente a perturbaciones. Por otra parte, la especie no muestra severas limitaciones en su etapa reproductiva, aunque el ratio fruto/flor es muy bajo. La productividad aumenta con el tamano de la planta y no resulta constante entre poblaciones y anos. Ademas, el loro atrae un alto numero de insectos diferentes que incrementan la produccion de semillas. Aunque es mera especulacion, el excedente de flores detectado contribuiria a asegurar la reproduccion tan
A 116 TOPS/W Spatially Unrolled Time-Domain Accelerator Utilizing Laddered-Inverter DTC for Energy-Efficient Edge Computing in 65 nm

The increasing demand for high performance and energy efficiency in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) accelerators has driven a wide range of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Besides, the rapid deployment of low-power IoT devices requires highly efficient computing, which as a result urges the need to explore low-power hardware implementations in different domains. This paper proposes a spatially unrolled time-domain accelerator that uses an ultra-low-power digital-to-time converter (DTC) while occupying an active area of 0.201 mm2. The proposed DTC is implemented using a Laddered, Inverter (LI) circuit, which consumes 3<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> less power than the conventional inverter-based DTC and provides reliable performance across different process corners, supply voltages, and temperature variations. Post-synthesis results in 65nm CMOS show that the proposed core achieves a superior energy efficiency of 116 TOPS/W, a throughput of 4 GOPS, and an area efficiency of 20 GOPS/mm2. The proposed core improves energy efficiency by 2.4 - 47<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> compared to prior time-domain accelerators.
Dysregulated monocyte-derived macrophage response to Group B Streptococcus in newborns

Introduction Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) is a leading pathogen of neonatal sepsis. The host-pathogen interactions underlying the progression to life-threatening infection in newborns are incompletely understood. Macrophages are first line in host defenses against GBS, contributing to the initiation, amplification, and termination of immune responses. The goal of this study was to compare the response of newborn and adult monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to GBS. Methods Monocytes from umbilical cord blood of healthy term newborns and from peripheral blood of healthy adult subjects were cultured with M-CSF to induce MDMs. M-CSF-MDMs, GM-CSF- and IFNγ-activated MDMs were exposed to GBS COH1, a reference strain for neonatal sepsis. Results GBS induced a greater release of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70 and IL-23 in newborn compared to adult MDMs, while IL-18, IL-21, IL-22, TNF, RANTES/CCL5, MCP-1/CCL2 and IL-8/CXCL8 were released at similar levels. MDM responses to GBS were strongly influenced by conditions of activation and were distinct from those to synthetic bacterial lipopeptides and lipopolysaccharides. Under similar conditions of opsonization, newborn MDMs phagocytosed and killed GBS as efficiently as adult MDMs. Discussion Altogether, the production of excessive levels of Th1- (IL-12p70), Th17-related (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-23) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines is consistent with a dysregulated response to GBS in newborns. The high responsiveness of newborn MDMs may play a role in the progression of GBS infection in newborns, possibly contributing to the development of life-threatening organ dysfunction.

Combining Ability and Reciprocal Effects for the Yield of Elite Blue Corn Lines from the Central Highlands of Mexico

The development of hybrid plants can increase the production and quality of blue corn, and, thus, satisfy its high demand. For this development, it is essential to understand the heterotic relationships of the germplasm. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining ability, as well as the reciprocal effects (REs) on the yields of 10 blue corn lines, and to select the outstanding lines. Diallel crosses were generated with 10 lines and evaluated at the Valle de México Experimental Station in Chapingo, Mexico, and Calpulalpan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. There were differences (p ≤ 0.01) in the hybrids, Loc, effects of GCA, SCA, and REs, and in the following interactions: hybrids × Loc, GCA × Loc, SCA × Loc, and RE × Loc. For GCA, lines Ll, L4, L6, and L9 stood out, with significant values of 3.4, 2.9, 2.9, and 3.1, respectively. For SCA, the hybrids featured were L4 × L10, L2 × L10, L1 × L10, L7 × L8, and L2 × L6, with values of 3.0, 2.5, 2.3, 2.3, and 2.2, and yields of 11.2, 10.2, 10.4, 10.4, and 10.5 t ha−l, respectively. There were no significant REs in these lines. Considerable effects of GCA and SCA were detected; therefore, we concluded that native populations had favorable dominance and additive genetic effects that could be used to support the development of high-yielding lines and hybrids.
