Genetic analysis for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in cowpea

This work aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in cowpea to guide the development of efficient cultivars in N2 fixation. Inoculation was performed with a mix of three Bradyrhizobium strains. Two soil inoculations were performed with 1mL of the inoculum, at sowing and at five days after seedlings emergence. Plants were harvested and evaluated at 40 days after sowing. The means and variances of parents F1 and F2 and the BCs IC-1 (inefficient) × BRS Marataoã (efficient) (cross 1) and IC-1 × BRS Pujante (efficient) (cross 2) were analyzed. Segregation analyses for efficient and non-efficient plants indicate that BNF is controlled by two genes with dominant-recessive epistatic effect. Narrow-sense heritability estimates for crosses 1 and 2 were, respectively, 90% and 78% for shoot dry matter (SDM); 78% and 58%, for number of nodules/plant (NN); 86% and 58%, for nodule fresh matter (NFM); and 85% and 71%, for accumulated nitrogen (AN). Gene number estimates for SDM, NN, NFM, AN ranged from two to nine by the Mather and Jinks’ method, and from one to two, by the Lande’s method, in both crosses. SDM x NFM and NFM x AN had significant and positive correlations, while NN showed significant negative correlation with AN and SDM. BNF efficiency in cowpea can be easily achieved using autogamous breeding methods.
Russulashanglaensis sp. nov. (Basidiomycota: Russulales), a new species from the mixed coniferous forests in District Shangla, Pakistan

A new species in the genus Russula from the mixed coniferous forest of District Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan is described and illustrated. Phylogenetic data derived from DNA sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), along with morphological characterizations, indicate the species is novel. Russula shanglaensis sp. nov. is distinct from other known species in subsect. Virescentinae. It is characterized by the convex to slightly depressed grayish pilei that often reflect rusty brown to light purplish spots, with very lightly striated to tuberculate striated margins. The occurrence of subglobose to ellipsoidal basidiospores (6.5–8 × 6–7 μm) with irregular incomplete reticulation is another distinguishing feature of the species. The species description includes photographs and line drawings illustrating key morphological features and a discussion comparing this species to morphologically and phylogenetically related species.

Optimising decision making in mastitis control

Mastitis remains one of the most common diseases of dairy cows and represents a large economic loss to the industry as well as a considerable welfare issue to the cows affected. Decisions are routinely made about the treatment and control of mastitis despite evidence being sparse regarding the likely consequences in terms of clinical efficacy and return on investment. The aim of this thesis was to enhance decision making around the treatment and prevention of mastitis using probabilistic methods. In Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, decision making around the treatment of clinical mastitis was explored using probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The results from Chapter 2 identified transmission to be the most influential parameter affecting the cost of clinical mastitis at cow level and, therefore, highlighted how important the prevention of transmission was in order to minimise losses associated with clinical mastitis. The cost-effectiveness of an on-farm culture (OFC) approach to the treatment of clinical mastitis was explored in Chapter 3, and compared with the cost-effectiveness of a ‘standard’ approach commonly used in the UK. The results of this study identified that the OFC approach could be cost-effective in some circumstances but this was highly dependent on the proportion of Gram-negative infections and the reduction in bacteriological cure rate that may occur as a result of the delay before treatment. Therefore, in the UK, this approach is unlikely to be cost beneficial in the majority of dairy herds. In Chapters 4, 5 and 6, decision making around the control of mastitis was explored utilising data from UK dairy herds that had participated in a nationwide mastitis control plan. In Chapter 4, mastitis control interventions were identified that were not currently practised by a large proportion of herds, and the frequency at which they were made a priority by the plan deliverers was also reported. In Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, the cost-effectiveness of specific mastitis control interventions was explored within an integrated Bayesian cost-effectiveness framework from herds with a predominance of environmental intramammary infections. Results from the Bayesian microsimulations identified that a variety of interventions would be cost effective in different farm circumstances. The cost-effectiveness of different interventions has been incorporated in a decision support tool to assist optimal decision making by veterinary practitioners in the field.
Assessing Clinical Judgment Utilizing Embedded Patients In A Baccalaureate Nursing Program’s Simulation Laboratory

The purpose of this study was to determine if clinical judgment could be assessed in baccalaureate nursing students during a 15 to 20-minute embedded (live patient) simulation scenario using role play. Graduate nurses are expected to apply critical reasoning and be clinically competent when caring for patients when they enter the nursing profession. The use of simulation scenarios is an approved and effective supplement to the clinical experience of nursing students. This study was conducted due to the sparsity of evidence referencing clinical judgment in live patient simulation scenarios. This study used a convenience sample (n=22) of baccalaureate nursing students in their final semester of a nursing program. The study used a mixed-method (quantitative/qualitative) approach to assess clinical judgment. It was framed on Khalili’s clinical simulation practise framework. The clinical judgment section of Creighton’s Competency Evaluation Instrument (C-CEI®) measured observed clinical decision making based on nine dimensions or competencies. A self-assessment pretest/posttest utilized a five-point Likert scale and an open response to record participant’s perceptions of applied clinical judgment. Fisher’s exact test returned a p-value of . 02 (α = .05) for the C-CEI dimensions and was considered statistically significant. Only two of the nine observed competencies met or exceeded a score of 77% (the passing grade for this program). The Likert scale mode of ‘4’ was self-reported on the pretest, while the posttest reported a mode of ‘3’ for clinical judgment. A
Serum biochemistry suggests grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have poorer physiological condition in urban settings

Human food waste in cities presents urban wildlife with predictable, easily accessible high-calorie food sources, but this can be both beneficial and harmful for individual health. We analyzed body condition and serum chemistry (electrolyte levels, markers of kidney and liver function, protein, glucose, and cholesterol) in an urban and rural population of eastern grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) to assess whether proximity to the human food waste that is associated with urban habitats had ill effects on health. We found no differences in body condition between habitats and no evidence of malnutrition at either site. However, urban squirrels had higher blood glucose, lower potassium, phosphorus, chloride, and albumin:globulin ratios. These results align with previous findings of increased dietary sugar in cities, and suggest that urban populations of grey squirrels are under greater environmental stress than rural populations.
Zukünftige Entwicklungen bei implantierbaren Netzhautprothesen

Zusammenfassung Implantierbare retinale Sehprothesen werden bereits in der Klinik eingesetzt. Bei blinden Patienten mit Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) lassen sich mit den bisherigen Systemen Phosphene auslösen, jedoch ist der messbare Sehschärfengewinn begrenzt. Die Ursachen hierfür liegen einerseits in dem eigentlichen retinalen Degenerationsprozess und andererseits in der zum Einsatz kommenden Technologie. Forschergruppen und Hersteller arbeiten an Lösungskonzepten und neuen Prototypen für implantierbare Sehprothesen, um diese Limitationen zu überwinden. Zu den Maßnahmen gehört die Vergrößerung der Fläche des Stimulators mit dem Ziel, ein größeres Gesichtsfeld wiederherzustellen, eine Erhöhung der Zahl der Elektroden, um das räumliche Auflösungsvermögen der Implantate zu verbessern und die Schaffung einer Registrierfunktion neben der eigentlichen Stimulation. Mit einer solchen Registrierfunktion könnte das Implantat Informationen über die unter den Elektroden liegenden Ganglienzellen gewinnen und so das Stimulationsmuster auf die jeweilige Situation anpassen. Neben der Implantation auf oder unter der Netzhaut werden auch Systeme entwickelt, die im Suprachoroidalraum, am Sehnerv, am Corpus geniculatum laterale oder direkt in der Sehrinde implantiert werden.
Unexpected variability of allelic imbalance estimates from RNA sequencing

RNA sequencing and other experimental methods that produce large amounts of data are increasingly dominant in molecular biology. However, the noise properties of these techniques have not been fully understood. We assessed the reproducibility of allele-specific expression measurements by conducting replicate sequencing experiments from the same RNA sample. Surprisingly, variation in the estimates of allelic imbalance (AI) between technical replicates was up to 7-fold higher than expected from commonly applied noise models. We show that AI overdispersion varies substantially between replicates and between experimental series, appears to arise during the construction of sequencing libraries, and can be measured by comparing technical replicates. We demonstrate that compensation for AI overdispersion greatly reduces technical variation and enables reliable differential analysis of allele-specific expression across samples and across experiments. Conversely, not taking AI overdispersion into account can lead to a substantial number of false positives in analysis of allele-specific gene expression
Incidence of bradyarrhythmias in hypertensive and chronic kidney disease patients with mild vs. severe obstructive sleep apnea

Received: November 28, 2016; Accepted: December 20, 2016; Published: December 23, 2016 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may lead to atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia. Particularly, OSA is a risk factor for stroke and hypertension [1,2]. Further, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces death and cardiovascular events and improves hypertension control [3,4]. Accentuated sympathetic nerve activity is a robust risk factor for cardiovascular events, such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction [5]. Peripheral sympathetic nerve activity is accentuated in patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, OSA, obesity, diabetes, and chronic renal illnesses. The obstructive events result in sleep disruption, hypoxemia, and are associated with an increased prevalence of arrhythmias [6].

Coping Strategies of Stress Adopted by Female Employees with Children in the University of Cape Coast: Implications for Management Practices

The study investigated the coping strategies of stress adopted by female employees with children in the university of Cape Coast. A descriptive study was the designed employed in carrying out the study. Two hundred and four (204) respondents were sampled from 431 female employees with children to answer a set of questionnaires. The results revealed that demands from husbands and thinking of promotional issues were some of the stressors that confronted the respondents. The major effects of stress among the respondents were their inability to plan well and lack of concentration on household chores. The result showed that the most prevailing coping strategy adopted by the respondents was engaging in conversation with friends and family members as well as getting assistance from colleagues. It was concluded that female employees with children in the University of Cape Coast go through stress, which emanates from different sources. Some of the recommendations were that management of the University must educate their employees on and appropriate strategies to cope with their stress. That could be done by management through seminars conferences, workshops on coping strategies of stress.

Mixed-Valence Lanthanide-Activated Phosphors: Invariance of the Intervalence Charge Transfer (IVCT) Absorption Onset across the Series

Recently, direct evidence was given for the existence of intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) states of Eu2+/Eu3+ pairs in Eu-doped fluorite hosts and their signature in absorption spectra was characterized [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2019, 10, 1851]. Here we show, by means of multiconfigurational ab initio calculations, that the IVCT absorptions of all 2+/3+ mixed valence lanthanides doped in CaF2 start basically at the same energy. This is rationalized with a simplified model of IVCT absorptions. Emissions above that energy are expected to be partly or totally quenched when 2+/3+ pairs are formed. On the basis of this finding and existing calculations, we report expected IVCT absorptions of mixed valence lanthanides doped in several fluoride, oxide, and sulfide hosts.
Applications of BIM in Construction Engineering in China：A Review

Based on the CNKI database from 2002-2019, this paper conducts the comprehensive literature survey on the BIM applications in construction engineering. Aiming to pros and cons summarized from the current research examples, the BIM shows great potential and the related study is a rapidly evolving field in construction engineering. In general, the diversity of BIM application studies is involved in construction engineering, such as, design and construction of new building, operation and maintenance of the existing buildings. BIM can be a powerful tool if it was properly taken advantage. However, the BIM application in design is more emphasized than that in the other aspects, which hinders the popularization of its application. Therefore, suggestions for future research are given accordingly: (i) constructing a feasible and flexible system according to the different applications; (ii) expanding the research content based on proposed system; (iii) establishing a method of evaluation of BIM application.
Real-time ultrasound imaging of complex skeletal defects and fractures Preliminary results

We report preliminary results on the use of ultrasound imaging techniques for real-time assessment of intact bones and bones with different types of fractures in animal samples ex vivo. Methods: Twenty-three cases of intact tibias and sixteen cases of fractured tibias obtained from rabbit, chicken and sheep samples were 2D and 3D scanned using a Sonix RP diagnostic ultrasound system and the results were statistically analyzed. Results: We report representative 2D and 3D results obtained for intact and fractured tibias in selected ex vivo rabbit, chicken and sheep animal samples. In selected cases, X-rays and CT data are also reported for a visual comparison with the ultrasound images. These preliminary results suggest that 2D and 3D real-time ultrasound imaging techniques have the potential to provide non-invasive and fast visualization of cortical defects in different types of bones. Conclusion: This study indicates that ultrasound imaging techniques can be used for a prompt assessment of bone defects including fractures and controlled defects. Off-line, more advanced image processing and analysis techniques can be used to further refine and improve the quality of the 3D ultrasound images especially in the case of bones located in deep tissues.
The impact of dementia care mapping on nursing staff

Section one The literature regarding dementia care mapping (DCM) and its use as a reliable, valid and efficient tool to assess care practice, is reviewed. Evidence for the growing efficacy of DCM is provided, however, the need for further development and research in a number of areas is highlighted, including nursing staffs experiences of DCM and the impact it has on them. Section two The current study aimed to explore the impact of dementia care mapping (DCM) on nursing staff. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants and grounded theory was used to analyse the transcripts. The analysis revealed one core category of conflict and four main categories of carer’s role, learning processes, responses and learning consequences. The impact of DCM was such that it represented a learning process that interacted with the carer’s role, evoked a response and produced learning consequences. Furthermore, DCM was such that it both induced and reduced conflict for the participants. The findings provide an insight for clinicians working in the field of dementia care who are involved in the training, development and support of nursing staff. Further research is required to define the role and needs of nursing staff who care for individuals with dementia. In addition continued investigation into effectively implementing tools, like DCM, for the purposes of staff development is also required.
