Modeling Intra‐Caldera Resurgence Settings: Laboratory Experiments With Application to the Los Humeros Volcanic Complex (Mexico)

Scaled analogue models explored the role of different boundary conditions in intra‐caldera resurgence processes. Models investigated the role of magma intrusion depth (ID) (Series 1), asymmetric and symmetric caldera collapse (Series 2), as well as the presence of existing discontinuities in the pre‐volcanic substratum (Series 3) on the style of caldera resurgence. Experimental results indicate that different IDs resulted in different resurgence styles and structural patterns, which evolved from piston‐like resurgence, for deeper intrusions, to intra‐caldera resurgent domes for shallower intrusions. Asymmetric collapse was typically accompanied by a tilted roof block above the emptied analogue magma reservoir, while inherited faults influenced significantly the deformation pattern of piston‐like resurgence. Experiments simulate many of the principal characteristics of calderas. We compare our modeling results primarily to the Los Potreros caldera nested within the Los Humeros Volcanic Complex, where the largest Mexico's Quaternary eruption occurred and which hosts an important geothermal field (eastern Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt). A structural field survey was conducted to identify the kinematics of faults within the caldera and outside the volcanic edifice. The Los Potreros caldera shows a sub‐orthogonal fault pattern strikingly similar to that of models deformed with shallow ID. We interpret this correlation as an evidence of similarity in dynamic processes, whereby modeling results would indicate a scaled ID of ∼4.5 km. The Acoculco caldera complex, in Mexico, shows a fault pattern similar to the Los Potreros caldera, and geological information corroborates the attribution of renewed magmatic pressure to similar IDs.
Strategies to Reduce Fecal Phosphorus Excretion in the Broiler Industry Without Affecting Performance

Total phosphorus (P) in broiler manure has been reduced by decreasing dietary non phytate P (NPP) in combination with added phytase or low phytate (LP) grains. However, few studies have investigated the effects of diet amendment on performance and P excretion from broiler breeders, while the reported effects on water soluble P (WSP) from broilers have been inconsistent. To address this, broiler breeders were fed reduced NPP diets and phytase during the rearing (10-21 wk) and laying (22-64 wk) phase (Chapter 1). Decreasing dietary NPP below 0.37% reduced fertility, which was hypothesized to result from insufficient P intake during rearing. Decreasing NPP in breeder laying diets to 0.19% (no phytase) or 0.09% (with phytase) had no effect on eggs or chicks produced, but reduced manure total P and WSP by 39 to 42%, respectively. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 investigated reduced available P (AvP), phytase, phytate level, and the calcium (Ca):AvP or Ca:NPP ratios in broiler diets on ileal P and amino acid (AA) absorption, P retention, and total P and WSP in manure. Reduced AvP and phytase decreased manure total P. However, manure WSP and the ratio of WSP:total P were controlled by the dietary Ca:AvP ratio. Effects of Ca:AvP on WSP were dependent on the initial dietary phyate level and were mediated by altered phytate hydrolysis, precipitation of CaP complexes and urinary P output. Including LP soybean meal (SBM) in diets decreased total P and WSP by 49% and 56%, respectively, while phytase increased the WSP:total P ratio in manure. Maximum P retention and minimum total P output occurred when the dietary Ca:NPP ratio was 2.34:1 and 2.53:1 in LP and high phytate (HP) SBM diets, respectively. Dietary Ca had no effect on amino acid (AA) absorption in HP SBM but decreased AA absorption in LP SBM diets when Ca was >0.93%. Therefore, while a wider Ca:NPP ratio could decrease manure WSP, this may negatively affect AA absorption when diets contain LP SBM.
Non-word repetition in bilingual children: the role of language exposure, vocabulary scores and environmental factors

ABSTRACT Assessing language development in bilingual children is challenging in geographical areas where bilinguals have different native languages. Lexical development measures are often used as a starting point to study linguistic abilities in bilingual children. Non-word repetition (NWR) has been found to be very informative in detecting variation. The present study contributes to the broader research aim of documenting bilinguals’ language skills. In a sample of 19 Italian-speaking bilingual children with different native languages, correlations among performance on an Italian-like NWR and receptive vocabulary score (Italian PPVT-R), cumulative exposure, age of first exposure to Italian, current Italian exposure, maternal education, parental concerns and vocabulary in toddlerhood (MB-CDI) were calculated. NWR performances correlated with PPVT-R and parental concerns, but not with maternal education and language exposure measures. Neither NWR scores nor PPVT-R scores were related to Italian vocabulary size in toddlerhood (MB-CDI). We integrate our results with those of others and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of administering NWR to bilingual children, and more generally how to perform early bilingual language assessments.
The Leadership and Motivation on Inpatient Compliance in Preventing the Risk of Patients Falling

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between leadership and motivation in compliance with inpatient nurses in preventing the risk of falling in patients at X1 Hospital Bandar Lampung in 2020. Pre-survey data on nurses in receiving newly hospitalized patients at a hospital in Bandar Lampung Indonesia in December 2019 found several cases concerning nurses’ tasks: did not lower the patients' beds, did not label the patients with the triangles, did not carry out Morse Fall Scale score (MFS) assessments, did not give patients' wristbands the risk of falling, did not install fences of the bed. So far, there has been no incidence of falling patients, however, if there is no effort of preventing, there is a risk of falling patients. This study was a quantitative design and used an analytical cross-sectional approach. The population was of all inpatient nurses at a hospital in Bandar Lampung. The samples in this study were all inpatient nurses totaling 97 nurses. This study used a total sampling technique.The author concludes that 1) the leadership given is not good, 2) motivation is on a moderate scale, 3) the nurse is in the non-obedient category, 4) there is a leadership relationship with inpatient nurse compliance in preventing the risk of falling in patients, and 5) there is a relationship motivation with inpatient nurse compliance in preventing the risk of falling in patients.This article provides new insights regarding the management of fall patients in the context of healthcare practice in Indonesia
Effect of microwave heating and conventional processing on the nutritional qualities of tomato juice

Effect of microwave processing on the nutritional characteristics of tomato juice was investigated and compared with conventional extraction methods such as hot break and cold break extraction. Microwave processed juice had low electrolytes, high viscosity and high retention of ascorbic acid and total carotenoids and lycopene contents compared to conventionally processed juice.
Simultaneous determination of antiseptics and acidic drugs in sewage and river water

A multi-analytical method has been developed for the determination of different acidic drugs belonging to medicinal classes, like antiphlogistics, lipid regulating agents together with main metabolites of acetylsalicylic acid (salicylic acid, hippuric acid, gentisic acid) and together with phenolic antiseptics in sewage, river and drinking water. The method includes solid phase extraction, followed by methylation of carboxylic groups by diazomethane, acetylation of phenolic hydroxy groups by acetanhydride/triethylamine (1:1, v/v) and detection by GC/MS. Determination limits down to 5 ng/l have been achieved for phenolic compounds and drugs and down to 0.2 μg/l for hippuric acid and gentisic acid. The recovery rates mostly exceeded 70 %. Exposition data revealed that the phenolic antiseptics biphenylol and clorophene as well as the flame retardant 2,4,6-tribromophenol were frequently present in effluents of municipal sewage treatment plants (STP) and in German rivers and streams in the lower ng/l-range, whereas o-hydroxyhippuric acid and gentisic acid were only sporadically detectable. Obviously, these metabolites were removed in municipal STP. However, salicylic acid was often detectable in river waters as well as the antiphlogistic naproxen, which is applied in human and veterinary medicine.
Softcite dataset: A dataset of software mentions in biomedical and economic research publications

Software contributions to academic research are relatively invisible, especially to the formalized scholarly reputation system based on bibliometrics. In this article, we introduce a gold‐standard dataset of software mentions from the manual annotation of 4,971 academic PDFs in biomedicine and economics. The dataset is intended to be used for automatic extraction of software mentions from PDF format research publications by supervised learning at scale. We provide a description of the dataset and an extended discussion of its creation process, including improved text conversion of academic PDFs. Finally, we reflect on our challenges and lessons learned during the dataset creation, in hope of encouraging more discussion about creating datasets for machine learning use.
Radiometric survey of natural radioactivity concentration and risk assessment on dwellers around Ijako active dumpsite in Ogun State

Radiometric assessment of natural radioactivity concentration around Ijako dumpsite was done using hand held gamma spectrometer. A total of 10 in situ measurements were taken at the site. The U-238, Th-232, and K-40 radioactivity concentration obtained were used to assess the radiological hazard level in the area. Comparing the mean results of radiological parameter obtained with world average; Radium equivalent was far less than 370Bqkg-1, External hazard was less than 1, Annual effective dose equivalent was less than 0.08mSvy-1, Gamma index was less than 1, and Excess life cancer risk was less than 0.29 × 10-3. This implies that Ijako dumpsite poses no radiological hazard to the general public.
Crystallization of glass-forming liquids: Specific surface energy

A generalization of the Stefan-Skapski-Turnbull relation for the melt-crystal specific interfacial energy is developed in terms of the generalized Gibbs approach extending its standard formulation to thermodynamic non-equilibrium states. With respect to crystal nucleation, this relation is required in order to determine the parameters of the critical crystal clusters being a prerequisite for the computation of the work of critical cluster formation. As one of its consequences, a relation for the dependence of the specific surface energy of critical clusters on temperature and pressure is derived applicable for small and moderate deviations from liquid-crystal macroscopic equilibrium states. Employing the Stefan-Skapski-Turnbull relation, general expressions for the size and the work of formation of critical crystal clusters are formulated. The resulting expressions are much more complex as compared to the respective relations obtained via the classical Gibbs theory. Latter relations are retained as limiti.
Does Inpatient Palliative Care Facilitate Home-Based Palliative Care Postdischarge? A Retrospective Cohort Study

Introduction: Evidence of the impact of inpatient palliative care on receiving home-based palliative care remains limited. Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine, at a population level, the association between receiving inpatient palliative care and home-based palliative care postdischarge. Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine the association between receiving inpatient palliative care and home-based palliative care within 21 days of hospital discharge among decedents in the last six months of life. Setting/Subjects: We captured all decedents who were discharged alive from an acute care hospital in their last 180 days of life between April 1, 2014, and March 31, 2017, in Ontario, Canada. The index event was the first hospital discharge furthest away from death (i.e., closest to 180 days before death). Results: Decedents who had inpatient palliative care were significantly more likely to receive home-based palliative care after discharge (80.0% vs. 20.1%; p < 0.001). After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical covariates, the odds of receiving home-based palliative care were 11.3 times higher for those with inpatient palliative care (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.4–13.5; p < 0.001). The strength of the association incrementally decreased as death approached. The odds of receiving home-based palliative care after a hospital discharge 60 days before death were 7.7 times greater for those who received inpatient palliative care (95% CI: 6.0–9.8). Conclusion: Inpatient palliative care offers a distinct opportunity to improve transitional care between hospital and home, through enhancing access to home-based palliative care.

Fail to Yield? An Analysis of Ambulance Crashes in Taiwan

Introduction—Medical emergency vehicles help patients get to the hospital quickly. However, there were more and more ambulance crashes on the road in Taiwan during the last decade. This study investigated the characteristics of medical emergency vehicle crashes in Taiwan from January 2003 to December 2016. Methods—The ordered logit (OL) model, multinominal logit (MNL) model, and partial proportional odds (PPO) model were applied to investigate the relationship between the severity of ambulance crash injuries and its risk factors. Results—We found the various factors have different effects on the overall severity of ambulance crashes, such as ambulance drivers’ characteristics and road and weather conditions. When another car was involved in ambulance crashes, there was a disproportionate effect on the different overall severity, as found by the PPO model. Conclusions—The results showed that male ambulance drivers and car drivers who failed to yield to an ambulance had a higher risk of severe injury from ambulance crashes. Ambulance crashes are an emerging issue and need further policies and public education regarding Taiwan’s ambulance transportation safety.
Full‐Vector Paleosecular Variation Curve for the Azores: Enabling Reliable Paleomagnetic Dating for the Past 2 kyr

For archeomagnetic dating, high‐quality directional and intensity paleosecular variation curves are needed. The Azores Archipelago in the mid‐Atlantic Ocean provides a wealth of volcanic products erupted during the Holocene, making it an ideal location to (1) gather paleomagnetic data from well dated lava flows and (2) construct a paleosecular variation (PSV) curve that enables paleomagnetic dating of volcanic products with unknown age. Here, we present new full‐vector paleomagnetic data from Pico Island, and combine the new data with existing data from neighboring islands to construct a new full‐vector PSV curve for the Azores Archipelago. An extensive rock‐magnetic study underpins the quality of our paleomagnetic carriers. From Pico Island, we obtained 21 new mean site directions; and 15 paleointensity estimates with the multimethod paleointensity approach from 12 sites, the age was known for 14 and 10 sites, respectively. By bootstrapping the non‐Gaussian uncertainty estimates of the radiocarbon age calibrations and the confidence intervals associated with the direction and paleointensity estimates, we produce the first full‐vector PSV curve with confidence intervals for the Azores covering the past 2 kyr. The PSV curve reveals a period of low inclination between ∼900 and 1560 AD, with minimum values of 32°. The potential of our new full‐vector PSV curve is demonstrated by successfully dating five lava flows from Pico Island.
Step on up! A multi-component health promotion intervention to promote stair climbing

Objectives: To study the influence of a multi-component poster-based intervention to promote stair climbing in a library on a Canadian university campus. Participants: Adults who ascended to upper levels via staircase/elevator. Methods: Individuals who used the staircase/elevators were counted by observers for 28 days, while either in the absence/presence of a poster-based intervention. Chi-square tests were used to compare staircase versus elevator use before, during and after the poster-based intervention. Data from weekdays and weekends were analysed separately. Results: A total of 7,663 stair climbers and elevator users were observed. Compared to the baseline period, the frequency of staircase use on weekdays was significantly higher during the intervention and follow-up periods. This effect was not found at weekends. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that a multi-component poster-based intervention can result in increased staircase use. The increase observed in this study is similar to that in previous research using point-of-choice prompts only.
Open books decompositions of links of minimally elliptic singularities

We present an explicit Milnor open book decomposition supporting the canonical contact structure on the link of each minimally elliptic singularity whose fundamental cycle Z satisfies −3≤Z·Z≤−1 . For the Milnor open books whose pages have genus less than three, we give a factorization of the monodromy which does not involve any left‐handed Dehn twists around interior curves. Necessary results regarding the roots of reducible, and irreducible elements in mapping class groups are proved, and some new relations in the mapping class groups are presented.
Development of Aeration-Assisted Combined Nitrification and Solid Removal Unit for a Compact Recirculating Aquaculture System

This work focused on the development of water treatment unit, called aeration-assisted combined nitrification and solid removal (ACNS), for compact aquaculture system. Results of preliminary study indicated that aerated filtration could extend filtration time significantly and capture more solids as compared to non-aerated filtration. Operating parameters of ACNS, including screen pore size, influent flow rate, aeration rate and position of air diffuser, were determined at 130 μm, 750 L/h, 120 L/h and 1.0 cm below the base of screen, respectively. ACNS was subsequently evaluated for its performance in nitrogen and solid removal during the 60-days closed-water tilapia cultivation. Performance of aquaculture system with ACNS, as the only treatment unit, was comparable to the aquaculture system having both nitrifying biofilter and ACNS, as separated units. Specifically, ACNS could maintain suspended solids (28 ± 7.6 mg SS/L), ammonia (< 0.5 mg N/L) and nitrite (< 0.5 mg N/L) concentration below the recommended limits for extended period. ACNS also produced relatively high and constant effluent flux close to initial value despite increasing the filtration time in aerated compartment up to 7 days. This led to continuous filtration, without stopping the system to remove solids on screen, for 50 days.

Methodology: The research employed a descriptive research design. Census method of sampling was employed, all the 43 commercial banks formed the study units. Both primary and secondary data were used. Secondary data was obtained from the audited annual financial reports of the commercial banks in Kenya while primary data was collected using questionnaire which was designed in form of Likert scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, whereby correlation and regression were used to establish the strength of the relationship between the financial management practices and financial performance of the commercial banks. Data was presented inform of tables, mean and standard deviation. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the financial management practices and financial performance of the commercial banks. Results: The study concludes that liquidity management had positive significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Measuring liquidity risk is important to making sure that liquidity problems are identified in time. The study concludes that capital structure management practice has positive significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. On credit risk management practice, the research found strong positive significant on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Most of financial institutions have risk eliminating strategy in place, proper risk management. Finally, the study concludes that working capital management practice has positive significant on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: The research recommends that banks management should make sure that they maintain substantial levels of liquidity, so as to maintain competitive performance. Commercial institution must have a feasible capital structure in place that addresses issues such, as flexibility where changes in the capital market should be well adapted to the capital structure.
