Effect of dry large‐scale vertical motions on initial MJO convective onset

Anomalies of eastward propagating large‐scale vertical motion with ~30 day variability at Addu City, Maldives, move into the Indian Ocean from the west and are implicated in Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) convective onset. Using ground‐based radar and large‐scale forcing data derived from a sounding array, typical profiles of environmental heating, moisture sink, vertical motion, moisture advection, and Eulerian moisture tendency are computed for periods prior to those during which deep convection is prevalent and those during which moderately deep cumulonimbi do not form into deep clouds. Convection with 3–7 km tops is ubiquitous but present in greater numbers when tropospheric moistening occurs below 600 hPa. Vertical eddy convergence of moisture in shallow to moderately deep clouds is likely responsible for moistening during a 3–7 day long transition period between suppressed and active MJO conditions, although moistening via evaporation of cloud condensate detrained into the environment of such clouds may also be important. Reduction in large‐scale subsidence, associated with a vertical velocity structure that travels with a dry eastward propagating zonal wavenumbers 1–1.5 structure in zonal wind, drives a steepening of the lapse rate below 700 hPa, which supports an increase in moderately deep moist convection. As the moderately deep cumulonimbi moisten the lower troposphere, more deep convection develops, which itself moistens the upper troposphere. Reduction in large‐scale subsidence associated with the eastward propagating feature reinforces the upper tropospheric moistening, helping to then rapidly make the environment conducive to formation of large stratiform precipitation regions, whose heating is critical for MJO maintenance.
Lipid and nutritional profiles of Caribbean patients with chronic kidney disease

Aim Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is marked by the deterioration of kidney function and derangement in lipid metabolism. Thus, we aim at evaluating the lipid and nutritional parameters of Caribbean patients with CKD. Methods The study recruited 88 CKD patients and 105 apparently healthy subjects. Blood glucose, urea, creatinine, albumin, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, VLDL, and LDL were measured in duplicate on the Vitros 4600 Multi-Channel Chemistry Auto-Analyzer (Johnson & Johnson Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics Inc., Rochester NY, USA) in our laboratory. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 20) was used for statistical analysis. Results Mean levels of diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05), age, and systolic blood pressure between the patients and the healthy controls (p < 0.001) were different. In addition, mean levels of BUN (p < 0.05), serum creatinine, and uric acid were higher and eGFR lower in the patients compared with the healthy controls (p < 0.001). The mean levels of albumin, glucose, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and VLDL (p < 0.001) also differed between patients and healthy controls. Negative correlation between eGFR and triglycerides and a positive correlation between eGFR and total cholesterol, HDL-c and LDL were observed. The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia and underweight were 27.27%, 57.95% and 4.55% respectively in patients, compared with 10.48%, 44.74% and 2.86% respectively in healthy controls. Conclusion Dyslipidemia is common in CKD patients and is therefore, imperative that, routine lipid profile analysis be detailed in order to check any trend towards the development of CVD.
Performance of a Novel Real-Time PCR-Based Assay for Rapid Monkeypox Virus Detection in Human Samples

The ongoing epidemic of mpox, namely human monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, requires rapid and reliable laboratory diagnosis. We report on the QIAstat-Dx viral vesicular panel PCR assay that allows the detection of (within 75 min) six vesicular disease-causing viruses, including MPXV. We analyzed 168 clinical samples, known to be positive (51 samples) or negative (117 samples) for MPXV clade II, obtained from patients at their mpox diagnosis or follow-up. QIAstat assay results were compared to those of a MPXV-specific reference PCR assay. The QIAstat assay detected MPXV (clade II) in 51 (100%) of 51 samples and did not detect MPXV in 117 (100%) of 117 samples, resulting in a positive or negative agreement of 100% (95% CI, 93.0–100) and 100% (95% CI, 96.8–100), respectively. Of the 20 patients diagnosed with mpox, 18 (90.0%) had at least a vesicular swab and 1 (5.0%) had only an oropharyngeal swab positive for MPXV. At mpox follow-ups, 2 (10.0%) of 20 patients had first-time positive whole blood samples. Thirteen MPXV-negative samples were positive for mpox-mimicking viruses. Our findings show the excellent performance of the QIAstat-Dx assay for MPXV detection in clinical samples. Further studies are needed before considering a large-scale application of the QIAstat-Dx assay.
TravelSmart—large-scale cost-effective mobility management. Experiences from Perth, Western Australia

Travel demand management or mobility management is growing in interest as political decision-makers realise that it is not financially and socially feasible to attempt to build enough roads to satisfy growing car use. In reaching this conclusion, political decision-makers confront a dilemma. Car users want quicker travel times for their car trips but they are not prepared to suffer the negative impacts of excessive car use. The solution lies in changing the travel behaviour of individuals but not through measures that are seen to constrain current car use. Therefore low-cost voluntary behaviour change programmes that deliver change are very appealing. The implementation of the Western Australian large scale TravelSmart programme proves that it is possible to motivate people to use their cars less without constraining access to their destinations. The outcome is a very cost-effective alternative to building expensive road infrastructure solutions and provides better use of public transport, cycling and wal.

Cardiovascular Calcifications Are Correlated with Inflammation in Hemodialysis Patients

Background and Objectives: The main cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients is cardiovascular disease, which is quite common. The main objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular and valvular calcifications in hemodialysis patients. Materials and Methods: This observational study had 54 hemodialysis patients, with an average age of 60.46 ± 13.18 years. Cardiovascular ultrasound was used to detect and/or measure aortic and mitral valve calcifications, carotid and femoral atheroma plaques, and common carotid intima-media thickness. The aortic calcification score was determined using a lateral abdomen plain radiograph. The inflammatory, oxidative, metabolic, and dietary statuses, as well as demographic characteristics, were identified. Results: There were significant correlations between the levels of IL-6 and carotid plaque number (p = 0.003), fibrinogen level and aortic valve calcifications (p = 0.05), intima-media thickness (p = 0.0007), carotid plaque number (p = 0.035), femoral plaque number (p = 0.00014), and aortic calcifications score (p = 0.0079). Aortic annulus calcifications (p = 0.03) and intima-media thickness (p = 0.038) were adversely linked with TNF-α. Nutrition parameters were negatively correlated with atherosclerosis markers: number of carotid plaques with albumin (p = 0.013), body mass index (p = 0.039), and triglycerides (p = 0.021); number of femoral plaques with phosphorus (0.013), aortic calcifications score with albumin (p = 0.051), intima-media thickness with LDL-cholesterol (p = 0.042). Age and the quantity of carotid plaques, femoral plaques, and aortic calcifications were linked with each other (p = 0.0022, 0.00011, and 0.036, respectively). Aortic annulus calcifications (p = 0.011), aortic valve calcifications (p = 0.023), and mitral valve calcifications (p = 0.018) were all associated with an increased risk of death. Conclusions: Imaging measures of atherosclerosis are adversely connected with dietary status and positively correlated with markers of inflammation and risk of mortality.
Glacio-isostatic crustal movements caused by historical volume change of the Vatnajokull ice cap, Iceland

Measurements of the lake level of Lake Langisjor at the SW edge of the Vatnajokull ice cap indicate a tilt of 0.26 ± 0.06 μrad/year away from the ice cap in the years 1959–1991. The tilt is too large to be explained as an elastic Earth response to ice retreat this century, or to be caused by change in the gravitational pull of the ice cap, but it can be explained by sub-lithospheric viscous adjustment. Regional subsidence in historical times in SE Iceland can similarly be attributed to viscous adjustment resulting from the increased load of Vatnajokull during the Little Ice Age. The inferred sub-lithospheric viscosity is 1 × 1018 − 5 × 1019 Pa s.
Analysis of flood damages from the 1993 and 1995 Meuse Floods

This paper addresses uncertainties pertaining to damage assessments made for the floodings of the Meuse River in 1993 and 1995. The analysis is based on flood damage data that were collected by damage experts and consist of large sample sizes within each municipality. The most interesting aspect of these two floods is that although the volume of flooding and the inundated area were comparable in order of magnitude, the flood damage estimates in 1995 were 35% lower than in 1993. We conclude that part of the reduction in flood damage during the 1995 flood was due to a reduction in the damage to household goods. This may be explained by a marginal increase in flood warning time and experiences gained from the flood of 1993. As flood damage assessments are the cornerstone in the evaluation of flood damage mitigation schemes, empirical data of previous floods should be used to improve the foundations of the methods to assess flood damages.
Analysis of Akhlak Values in Science Textbooks for Madrasah Aliyah

Integrating akhlak values ​with all subjects at all levels of education is one of the keys to forming students with a religious character. So that science and religion are no longer separated. Including at the Madrasah Aliyah (MA) education level, Islamic-based schools, but in reality, it is still difficult not to separate science and religion, especially in science subjects. Therefore, this study aims to analyze religious values, especially in the akhlak aspect in science textbooks for 10th grade Madrasah Aliyah (MA), and how students internalize these religious values. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, specifically content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the learning materials in science textbooks for 10th at Madrasah Aliyah (MA) contain akhlak values, including akhlak to Allah SWT, akhlak to fellow human beings, and akhlak to the environment. The media used to internalize akhlak values ​​in science learning is manufacturing printed and electronic teaching materials so students can easily access and understand them.
An I-Shaped Slot Grid Antenna Array with Substrate Integration and Enhanced Bandwidth

Aimed to transmit electromagnetic energy in wireless power transfer, a planar substrate-integrated grid antenna array with four I-shaped slots was designed. A transverse stub was added to the microstrip line to produce additional resonance; hence, the impedance bandwidth was enhanced from 1.9% to 6%. Four I-shaped slots were formed on a perfect electric conductor (PEC) sheet to realize boresight radiation. Four gaps were etched to refine and compress the in-band impedance property. Furthermore, characteristic mode theory was adopted to analyze the working mechanism. Finally, the measurement results showed that the antenna had an operating bandwidth of 5% (|S11| < -10 dB from 5.67 GHz to 5.96 GHz). In the operating band, the boresight gain varied from 9.3 dBi to 11.3 dBi. The cross-polarization level was lower than -30 dB on the boresight. Therefore, the proposed array is suitable for use in wireless power transfer systems and other related applications.
The Waters of Ur

The magnificent site-plans which we owe—with so much else—to Sir Leonard Woolley's brilliant and painstaking work at Ur show on the northern and western edges of the mound two harbours, opening out upon the white unknown outside the plan and thus tacitly posing the question of how much we can ever know about the great canal-system which once linked Ur and the other cities of Sumer in a net of intercommunication and—even more important—distributed to them the irrigation waters without which no city or other permanent human settlement could have existed. The question is certainly legitimate, but not altogether an easy one; for it is well known that the major rivers of Iraq have substantially changed their courses since antiquity and also that in large sections of the country heavy deposits of new soil now securely hide all ancient river- and canal-beds deep under the present surface out of reach of investigation. Special methods must therefore be brought to bear if the ancient system is eventually to be reconstructed and we should like to call attention here to one such method, that of Ceramic Surface Survey, which has already been applied with good results and moderately extensively.
Climate Change Mitigation Potential from Carbon Sequestration of Community Forest in Mid Hill Region of Nepal

Forest can capture and retain large amount of carbon over long periods. To estimate the climate change mitigation potential from carbon stock of the forest, the study was conducted in Ghwangkhola Sapaude Babiyabhir Community Forest (GSBCF) in SyangjaDistrict of Nepal. The total carbon stock of forest was measured from April 1-25, 2011 by following the Forest Carbon Measurement guideline. The forest was with Castonopsis-Scima lying at an altitude range of 970 to1320 masl. More than 90% of the trees having a diameter of less than 20 cm indicate high potential of increasing biomass in the future. The above ground tree biomass, above ground sapling biomass, biomass in herbs and litter and below ground biomass was 126.3, 2.88, 7.54 and 27.34 ton/ha, respectively. The total carbon stock, annual carbon sequestration rate and total CO2 mitigation potential was 122.29, 0.45 and 1.64 ton/ha, respectively. Reduced emission from deforestation and degradation (REDD) should be implemented for getting monetary benefit of carbon dioxide mitigation that will help to conservation of forest.
Scattering by rain and melting snow

With the increased sharing of frequencies in the SHF band by terrestrial and satellite communication systems potential interference between these systems is becoming a greater problem. One of the important interference mechanisms is that due to scattering by hydrometeors, e.g., rain and melting snow. A model is needed for interference and coordination calculations. The analysis and results are presented of the first phase of an investigation to explore the possibility of developing such a model for bistatic scattering by rain and melting snow. This phase deals primarily with backscattering from rain. The approach was successfully applied to the evaluation of the attenuation and phase characteristics of rain and melting snow over a frequency range of 1-1000 GHz and rainrate range of 5-100 mm/h.
Provenance of the Highland Border Complex: constraints on Laurentian margin accretion in the Scottish Caledonides

Contrasting tectonic models for the Highland Border Complex in the Scottish Caledonides view it either as part of the rifted Laurentian margin of the Iapetus Ocean or as an oceanic terrane. Detrital zircon data from sandstones of the complex yield age peaks at 2.8–2.6, 1.3 and 1.1–1.0 Ga and minor peaks at c. 1.7–1.9 Ga. These characteristics compare closely with those of the upper Dalradian Supergroup of the adjacent Grampian terrane, and with the record of eastern Laurentia. The data are also consistent with the Laurentian provenance indicated by palaeontological evidence from the complex, and field evidence for continuity with the Dalradian Supergroup. Detrital ages for the Cambrian Salterella Grit of the Caledonian foreland compare with those for approximately age-equivalent sandstones from the Highland Border Complex. Both were contemporaneous with the regressive Hawke Bay event, accounting for similarities in provenance, and further linking the Highland Border Complex to Laurentia. The Grampian terrane was being uplifted and shedding detritus throughout the Ordovician and Silurian. The absence of this event from the detrital zircon records of either the Midland Valley or Southern Upland terranes suggests that these blocks cannot have been in their current location relative to the Grampian terrane before the end of the Silurian.

Myopericarditis as a Delayed Complication of COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report

Pericarditis is the inflammation of the pericardial layers. Myopericarditis is diagnosed when this inflammation involves the myocardium, which is marked by elevated serum cardiac enzymes. With these two pathologies sharing overlaps in etiology, we present a case of a young patient with a recent history of COVID-19 infection who presented with pleuritic and positional chest pain with troponin I elevation and serial ECG changes attributed to myopericarditis as a post-viral sequela of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection. This case demonstrates the importance of identifying and managing the potential cardiac complications in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, regardless of age or symptom onset.
Dimensionality and Directionality Effects in Newmark Sliding Block Analyses

Newmark sliding block analyses represent a useful and practical tool for evaluation of seismic slope stability hazards. The analysis requires assumptions about material and failure surface behavior that have been well documented in the literature. This paper investigates the effects of assumptions about the manner in which loading is applied on the results of the analysis. The common practice of applying a one-dimensional input motion parallel to the plane of the sliding block model was compared with the application of two- and three-dimensional input motions for sliding block models with frictional and cohesive failure surfaces; the differences were found to be small for some cases and large for others—in both conservative and unconservative directions. The effect of slope azimuth on Newmark sliding block displacements was also investigated. Computed displacements were found to be very sensitive to the assumed azimuthal direction of the input motion, particularly for cases of high yield acceleration. Pro.
Insight into Mt. Etna (Italy) kinematics during the 2002–2003 eruption as inferred from seismic stress and strain tensors

Seismic activity linked to the 2002–03 Mt. Etna eruption was investigated by analyzing the Md > 2.3 earthquakes. The results of 3D relocation were used to compute fault plane solutions and a selected dataset was inverted to determine stress and strain tensors. The analysis revealed a complex kinematic response of the eastern flank dominated by fast stress propagation and reorientation. We hypothesize that a vertical dike intruded the southern flank, generating an extensional regime that triggered a radial intrusion in the northeast sector of the volcano. The combined effects gave rise to a rotation of the stress tensor that controlled the activation of the Pernicana fault system. The volcanic and tectonic interactions produced a second reorientation of the stress tensor, causing a structural response in the southeast lower flank. The overall result of the deformation processes observed during the eruption was an E‐W extension on the eastern flank of the volcano.
Inundation Risk in Large Tropical Basins and Potential Survey from Radar Altimetry: Example in the Amazon Basin

Altimetry turns out to be a highly valuable source of data in remote areas such as the unmonitored wetlands at the upstream part of contributors in continental-scale basins. We illustrate this for the Amazon basin, in the area of upper Rio Madeira, where the inundation risk increased recently on populations downstream because of changes in the local economy. With use of satellite altimetry, the hydrological relationship between the main stem and the related water bodies that cyclically retain and liberate large amounts of water can be explained with sufficient details to aid in risk mitigation.
