Muscle Strength and Range of Motion in Adolescent Pitchers With Throwing-Related Pain Implications for Injury Prevention

young baseball players has perpetuated the great attention that this population has received in the literature. In a cohort of baseball pitchers aged 9 to 14 years, 32% complained of shoulder pain and 26% complained of elbow pain at some point during the season. McFarland and Ireland cite throwing-related injuries as the leading cause of upper extremity overuse injury in the adolescent athlete. Despite high injury prevalence and greater understanding of throwing biomechanics, there remains debate over the causes of throwing pain and respective treatment strategies. In their 3-part series, Burkhart et al defined glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) as the start of a cascade leading to dead arm syndrome in the overhead Muscle Strength and Range of Motion in Adolescent Pitchers With Throwing-Related Pain
Physicochemical properties and nutritional evaluation of wheat and water chestnut composite flour

The present investigation was carried out to study the physiochemical properties and proximate composition of wheat and dried water chestnut composite flour. Water chestnut fruit being a rich source of starch with no gluten, its flour can be used to replace wheat flour for the production of gluten free products. Four types of composite flours were prepared using wheat and water chestnut in ratios; 80:20, 60:40, 40:60 and 20:80 (type I, type II, type III and type IV, respectively). Type I flour had significantly higher bulk density, water absorption capacity, swelling capacity as compared to other types of composite flours. Overall it was noticed that in physicochemical properties of composite flours, as the level of water chestnut flour increased, the values for these properties decreased. Among all the composite flours type I composite flour had the highest crude protein (9.4%),crude fat (3.63%) and crude fibre content (1.93%) whereas type IV composite flour had the highest ash (2.50%) and total carbohydrates content (78.00%). It found that moisture, ash and total carbohydrates in the composite flours significantly increased with the increase in the level of water chestnut flour whereas crude protein, crude fat and crude fibre were decreased significantly.

Abstract This research paper will explore the issues underlying the under-representation of Latinas in higher education. The emphasis will be placed on Chicana females because Chicanos comprise 60 percent of the Latino population, and much of the existing research is focused on this group. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, barriers to the participation of Latinas in higher education will be explored. Second, factors contributing to the success of high-achieving Latinas will be discussed. Finally, implications for higher education programming and policies will be examined as they affect Chicanas in particular, and Latinas in general. Suggestions for ways in which university administrators, faculty, and student affairs professionals can promote the achievement of Latina students will be provided.
An Empirical Comparison of Fake News Detection using different Machine Learning Algorithms

Relying on social networks to follow the news has its pros and cons. Social media websites indeed allow the spread of information among people quickly. However, such websites might be leveraged to circulate low-quality news full of misinformation, i.e., "fake news. " The wide distribution of fake news has a considerable negative impact on individuals and society as a whole. Thus, detecting fake news published on the various social media websites has lately become an evolving research area that is drawing great attention. Detecting the widespread fake news over the numerous social media platforms presents new challenges that make the currently deployed algorithms ineffective or not applicable anymore. Basically, fake news is deliberately written on the first place to mislead readers to accept false information as being true, which makes it difficult to detect based on news content solely; consequently, auxiliary information, like user social engagements on social media websites, need to be taken into account to help make a better detection. Using such auxiliary information is challenging because users' social engagements with fake news produce noisy, unstructured, and incomplete Big-Data. Due to the fact that fake news detection on social media is fundamental, this research aims at examining four well-known machine learning algorithms, namely the random forest, the Naive Bayes, the neural network, and the decision trees, distinctively to validate the efficiency of the classification performance on detecting fake news. We conducted an experiment on a widely used public dataset i.e. LIAR, and the results show that the Naive Bayes classifier defeats the other algorithms remarkably on this dataset.

Low Genetic Diversity in Turkish Populations of Wels Catfish Silurus glanis L., 1758 (Siluridae, Pisces) Revealed by Mitochondrial Control Region Sequences

This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Wels catfish Silurus glanis L. 1758 in Turkey using squences of the mitochondrial DNA control region The 887-bp fragment of D-loop was aligned for 112 S. glanis individuals from ten wild populations in Turkey, defined by 29 polymorphic sites comprising 16 haplotypes. The low haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity within each population ranged from 0.000 to 0.378 and from 0.0000 to 0.0045, respectively. Analysis of molecular variance showed significant genetic differentiation among ten populations (FST =0.940; P<0.01). AMOVA revealed that the most of genetic variation was found between Thrace and Anatolia clades (74,07 %). The phylogenetic trees and haplotype network topologies were consistent with the results of AMOVA analysis. The non-significant negative Tajima's D (-0.875 P<0.05) and Fu's Fs (-0.381, P<0.02) values and mismatch distribution for S. glanis populations indicated no evidence for changes in population size. Furthermore, goodness-of-fit of the observed versus the theoretical mismatch distribution tested the sum of squared deviation (SSD; 0.00308, P>0.05), Harpending’s raggedness index (Hri; 0,300, P>0.05) and Ramos-Onsins & Rozas (R2; 0,0771, P>0.05), supporting population neutrality.
The Impact of Serotype Cross-Protection on Vaccine Trials: DENVax as a Case Study

There is a growing public health need for effective preventive interventions against dengue, and a safe, effective and affordable dengue vaccine against the four serotypes would be a significant achievement for disease prevention and control. Two tetravalent dengue vaccines, Dengvaxia (CYD-TDV—Sanofi Pasteur) and DENVax (TAK 003—Takeda Pharmaceutical Company), have now completed phase 3 clinical trials. Although Dengvaxia resulted in serious adverse events and had to be restricted to individuals with prior dengue infections, DENVax has shown, at first glance, some encouraging results. Using the available data for the TAK 003 trial, we estimate, via the Bayesian approach, vaccine efficacy (VE) of the post-vaccination surveillance periods of 12 and 18 months. Although better measurement over a long time was expected for the second part of the post-vaccination surveillance, variation in serotype-specific efficacy needs careful consideration. Besides observing that individual serostatus prior to vaccination is determinant of DENVax vaccine efficacy, such as for Dengvaxia, we also noted, after comparing the VE estimations for 12- and 18-month periods, that vaccine efficacy is decreasing over time. The comparison of efficacies over time is informative and very important, and brings up the discussion of the role of temporary cross-immunity in dengue vaccine trials and the impact of serostatus prior to vaccination in the context of dengue fever epidemiology.
Nutrient cycling in Patagonian ecosystems

The knowledge on nutrient cycling in Patagonian ecosystems of Argentina is scarce. However, studies not directly focused on nutrient cycling provide relevant information about the mechanisms of nutrient conservation in the climatically different ecosystems of the region. Here, we identified indicators of litter decomposition and soil N mineralization rates of some representative species of the dominant plant functional groups along the wide precipitation gradient of Patagonia. Senescent leaves and litter of forest trees have higher C concentration and C/N ratio and lower N concentration than steppe shrubs. Within the tree life form, evergreen species have higher C/N ratio than deciduous species. Differences in N concentration between green and senescent leaves suggest a higher N use efficiency in forest trees than in steppe shrubs. Within the steppe, grasses have higher nutrient use efficiency than shrubs due to their higher C and much lower N, P and K content in senescent leaves and litter. Thus, we hypothesize the occurrence of (i) a gradient from nutrientconserving ecosystems in wetter sites (Andean-Patagonian forest) to relatively nutrient-rich (low nutrient use efficient) ecosystems in drier sites (Patagonian steppe), and (ii) differences in nutrient conservation mechanisms among different functional groups: in the Andean-Patagonian forests N conservation and N use efficiency is greater in evergreens than in deciduous woody species and in conifers than in broad-leaf species, whereas in the Patagonian steppe, grasses have higher nutrient resorption than shrubs. Likely as a consequence of these differences in litter quality, potential N mineralization is greater in deciduous than in evergreen Patagonian forests. Within the steppe, N inineralization seems to depend on grass and shrub cover, which in turn is regulated by disturbance, largely grazing. Since nutrient conservation in vegetation, specially N, is associated to the rates of litter decomposition and soil N mineralization, the confirmation of these patterns would allow to predict ecosystem resilience and resistance to nutrient losses, and contribute to understand and predict the response of the different Patagonian species or functional groups to interannual climatic variability and natural or anthropogenic disturbances. There is a special need for further research on P cycling, nutrient allocation in vegetation, and field measurements of litter decomposition and N mineralization.
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization with Solid-State Millimeter Waves, 3D Printed Components, and Software-Defined-Radio-based NMR

A new dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) target system has recently come on-line at the University of New Hampshire. DNP is driven by a novel solid-state 140 GHz mm-wave source with quasi-optics transmission and low-loss ($<0.1$ dB/m) overmodal waveguide that is insensitive to magnetic fields. We have also developed a method to 3D print with Kel-F, which was used to produce target cups utilized in a recent cool-down. Polarization measurements are made and cross-compared on a Liverpool Q-meter, LANL Q-meter, and low-cost software-defined-radio based vector network analyzer.
Development of Malaysian Wastewater Polishing Index: Case Study on a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor

Currently, extra treatment of secondary effluent to remove nitrogen and phosphorous may be required for its unrestricted reuse. This can be achieved by installing the wastewater polishing systems (or tertiary treatment). The wastewater polishing solutions are environmentally friendly, cheap and effective. The experiments were conducted on a pilot scale using a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) with a capacity of 500 L to polish the municipal effluent from organic pollutant, undesirable nutrients and bacteria without the use of disinfectants. The major purpose was to define and apply a model for evaluating polishing of secondary effluent and implement the optimal technology for unrestricted use. Wastewater Polishing Index (WWPI) is a new tool that has been employed for rapidly evaluating of water quality improvement. It can be implemented into any surface water effluent treatment system or for reuse. WWPI can be an important tool designed for decision makers. The total average weight of six parameters (COD, BOD5, SS, Ammonia nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and Escherichia coli) are defined as the index, each one converted to sub-index which is scaled from zero to one hundred. If none of six parameters exist in the effluent WWPI, it is equal to zero, while if the parameters match the Malaysian’s effluent Standard B, It amounts to one hundred. In turn, WWPI is ninety when all six of them are equal to their corresponding Malaysian National Water Quality Standard (IV) for re-use. The index of wastewater polishing was validated and approved for the pilot MBBR study.
Effect of expanded polystyrene content and press temperature on the properties of low-density wood particleboard

In this study, three-layer low-density (about 400 kg/m3) particleboards consisting of a mixture of wood particles and expanded polystyrene (EPS) were manufactured. EPS bead was incorporated in the core layer as a light filler. The influence of EPS content (0 %, 2,5 %, 5 %, 7,5 %, 10 %, and 12,5 %) and press temperature (110 °C and 140 °C) on the microstructure, density profile, bending properties, internal bond and thickness swelling of the panels were investigated. Results showed that incorporation of EPS beads filled in the voids between wood particles improved the core layer integrity, and generated a more pronounced density profile. Consequently, the bending properties and internal bond of panels adding EPS were remarkably improved, and the thickness swelling was decreased. However, the variation of the number of EPS from 2,5 % to 12,5 % had no significant effect on the bending properties and thickness swelling. Comparing the two press temperatures, higher temperature (140 °C) was more favourable in control panels without EPS as filler. For panels adding EPS filler, 140 °C had a negative effect on the properties of panels, especially at high EPS contents (10% and 12,5%), attributing to the shrinkage of EPS bead under press temperature that is much higher than its glass transition temperature (104 °C)

Characterizing and bypassing decoherence in semiconductor quantum dot-based light-matter interfaces

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been demonstrated to be versatile candidates to study the principles of light-matter interaction [1]. In contrast to fundamental atom-photon interfaces, a key factor to the understanding of observed phenomena in semiconductor quantum electrodynamics is the interaction of electrons with the semiconductor QD host material, cf. Fig. 1(a). The inherent many-body properties of a solid-state, in particular the electron-phonon interaction, lead to often undesired decoherence, where the superposition of otherwise distinct quantum states becomes lost and information about the system is carried away into the surrounding of the embedded QD. For example, the Wigner delay of QD light emission is limited not only by twice the radiative lifetime as in the case for isolated atoms but also by the phonon-scattering induced decoherence time to approximately the lifetime of the exciton, cf. Fig. 1(b). This decoherence is, however, intrinsically non-Markovian with a memory effect of the host material and the detuning dependence clearly shows an interplay between incoherent and coherent electron-phonon processes, not captured with Lindblad-based dephasing models.

A Real-Time Entity Monitoring based on States and Scenarios

Scenario: The current markets require online processing and analysis of data as soon as they arrive to make decisions or implement actions as soon as possible. PAbMM is a real-time processing architecture specialized in measurement projects, where the processing is guided by measurement metadata derived from a measurement framework through the project definition. Objective: To extend the measurement framework incorporating scenarios and entity states as a way to online interpret the indicator’s decision criteria according to scenarios and entity states, approaching their conditional likelihoods. Methodology: An extension based on entity and context states is proposed to implement scenarios and entity states. A memory structure based on the occurrence matrix is defined to approach the associated conditional likelihoods while the data are processed. A new hierarchical complimentary schema is introduced to foster the project definition interoperability considering the new concepts. An extension of the cincamipd library was carried forward to support the complementary schema. An application case is shown as a proof-of-concept. Results: A discrete simulation is introduced for describing the times and sizes associated with the new schema when the volume of the projects to update grow-up. The results of the discrete simulation are very promising, only 0.308 seconds were necessary for updating 1000 active projects. Conclusions: The simulation provides an applicability reference to analyse its convenience according to the project requirements. This allows implementing scenarios and entity states to increase the suitability between indicators and decision criteria according to the current scenario and entity state under analysis.
