Preharvest Measures for Postharvest Improvement in Marketable Fresh Citrus

Citrus canker caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), was once the scourge of the Florida citrus industry from the early 1900s on and off until the early 1990s. It has been replaced in importance, for the most part, by citrus greening but still continues to be a problem for Florida fresh citrus. The most recent canker outbreak peaked soon after the 2004 hurricanes, where the rains and winds spread the disease more quickly than it could be controlled. Although some of the strict quarantines placed on the citrus industry at the beginning of the latest canker epidemic have been lifted, there is still a problem with shipping fruit from cankered areas out of the country. Although work is continuing on postharvest measures to ensure that no live canker bacteria leave the packing houses, preharvest measures are also being improved to decrease the disease pressure in the groves as well as to lower incidence of infection on the fruit. Most commonly, a copper formulation is sprayed on the trees soon after petal fall for control of canker. Copper has long been used as an effective fungicide because fungi are sensitive to metals. However, the sprayed copper tends to be powdery and a good deal of it is removed from the leaves and fruit when it rains. Rain and wind are the chief means of carrying the canker bacteria from diseased to healthy plants and curtail the efficiency of copper applications. In 2009 copper and carnauba wax as “a sticking agent” were mixed and this formulation was used to spray experimental trees in a commercial grove. At the end of the growing season there was a significant reduction in canker lesions on the fruit as well as a dramatic reduction in melanose. With the emergence of yet two more fungal diseases on citrus (citrus black spot, Guignardia citricarpa Kiely; and sweet orange scab, Elsinoe australis Bitancourt& Jenk.), the increased exposure of these citrus pests to a pesticide that is maintained and protects the plant surfaces during times of great disease pressure will facilitate the harvest of more unblemished and marketable fruit.
SFCL PREVENT DISTRIBUTED GENERATING SOURCES FROM BLACKOUT IN SMART GRID

To prevent distributed generating sources from Blackout in smart grid system SFCL can be implemented. To enhance the reliability of the power system, interconnection of the distributed generating (DG) sources is required with the existing electrical grid. Presence of fault current due to extensive integration of DG sources within a smart grid causes failure of a successful implementation of smart grid. All running power plant are synchronized with each other in main power grid and continuously generating power and delivered to the grid. All conventional power plants are also connected with DG sources in grid and running in synchronized condition, if any fault will occur in system then the system will be unstable and which will affect DG sources found nearest location of fault. DG sources get Blackout, so to avoid from blackout condition one of the best innovative solution is to implement SFCL at optimum location in system. SFCL have capability to reduce the fault current level within the first cycle of fault current, which result in an increased in transient stability of the power system. A resistive type SFCL model has been developed in Simulink and the SFCL performance will analyses for different location. Location 1(near Substation). Second, single SFCL located at Location 2(near Branch Network). Third, single SFCL located at Location 3(near Wind farm integration point with the grid). Fourth, double SFCLs located at Location 1(Substation) and Location 4(Wind Farm) in the proposed system considering 10 MVA wind farm as a DG sources with synchronized big units as conventional power plant of 100 MVA. A Simulink based model has been developed and the simulation results of the proposed model obtained by using MATLAB.
CDCP 1 is a novel marker of the most aggressive human triple-negative breast cancers

CDCP1, a transmembrane noncatalytic receptor, the expression of which has been associated with a poor prognosis in certain epithelial cancers, was found to be expressed in highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell models, in which it promoted aggressive activities—ie, migration, invasion, anchorageindependent tumor growth, and the formation of vascular-like structures in vitro. By immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of 100 human TNBC specimens, CDCP1 was overexpressed in 57% of samples, 38% of which exhibited a gain in CDCP1 copy number by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). CDCP1 positivity was significantly associated between FISH and IHC. CDCP1 expression and gains in CDCP1 copy number synergized with nodal (N) status in determining disease-free and distant disease-free survival. The hazard ratios (HRs) of the synergies between CDCP1 positivity by IHC and FISH and lymph node positivity in predicting relapse did not differ significantly, indicating that CDCP1 overexpression in human primary TNBCs, regardless of being driven by gains in CDCP1, is for a critical factor in the progression of N-positive TNBCs. Thus, CDCP1 is a novel marker of the most aggressive N-positive TNBCs and a potential therapeutic target.
Nanoporous graphene oxide membrane and its application in molecular sieving

Gas transport through graphene-derived membranes has gained much interest recently due to its promising potential in filtration and separation applications. In this work, we explore Kr-85 gas radionuclide sequestration from natural air in nanoporous graphene oxide membranes in which different sizes and geometries of pores were modeled on the graphene oxide sheet. This was done using atomistic simulations considering mean-squared displacement, diffusion coefficient, number of crossed species of gases through nanoporous graphene oxide, and flow through interlayer galleries. The results showed that the gas features have the densest adsorbed zone in nanoporous graphene oxide, compared with a graphene membrane, and that graphene oxide was more favorable than graphene for Kr separation. The aim of this paper is to show that for the well-defined pore size called P-7, it is possible to separate Kr-85 from a gas mixture containing Kr-85, O2 and N2. The results would benefit the oil industry among others.
Frailty in Heart Failure: A Coalesce of International Guidelines

An ever-growing elderly population is likely accompanied by increased rates of preeminent comorbidities - particularly cardiovascular disease which seems to be taking precedence over all other age-associated, end-organ disorders. Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It has become a public health problem for global citizens, caregivers as well as economies that must bear its financial burden. The repercussions of HF, however, are not solely attributed to a dysfunctional bodily system, but also to a decline in physiologic reserve that denotes frailty. Although physicians may recognize a frail picture from a clinical standpoint, frailty regrettably remains equivocal. We have yet to formulate a universally agreed-upon definition, meaning that the most appropriate frailty screening and assessment tools cannot be designated. Nevertheless, the present review aims to summarize the latest international guidelines on HF management while encouraging liberal use of frailty measures for the purpose of risk stratification, signifying prognosis and potentially influencing the management of HF altogether.
Nanostructure Silicon Anodes Prepared by Chemical Reduction Method for Lithium Ion Batteries

Nanostructure Silicon Anodes Prepared by Chemical Reduction Method for Lithium Ion Batteries by Xiaobo Zhan Silicon is a promising anode material in high energy density application of lithium ion batteries because it is known to have the largest specific capacity (~4200mAh/g), ten time that of the commercially graphite carbon. However, they have shown great capacity fading and short battery life due to big volume changes upon insertion and extraction of lithium, which results in pulverization and loss of the electrical contact between the active material and the current collector. In this thesis, we successfully fabricated two kinds of nanostructured silicon anodes by chemical reduction method and test them versus Li as half-cell. Porous Si showed a reversible capacity of 1482mAh/g after 30 cycles, which is 50% of its initial capacity. Carbon coating greatly improves the cycling stability and increase the capacity retention to 85%. Compared Si nanosheets structure, graphene-silica sandwich structure showed great improvements in capacity and cycling stability. This chemical reduction method is facile, mass productive and thus is promising in the nanostructure silicon anode fabrication.
Leucemia mieloide crónica: Un modelo terapéutico de biología molecular

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a clonal disorder characterized by the proliferation of myeloid elements at all stages of maturation. It was the first neoplasm associated with a constant acquired genetic anomaly and is currently the best studied molecular model of leukemia. The knowledge of the crucial genetic event and the phenotypic abnormalities that it causes, as well as the development of biotechnology, offer a unique opportunity to develop therapies aimed at a molecular target in a rational way. A descriptive, retrospective study was carried out, analyzing the clinical records of the patients treated during the years 1992 to 2002 in the Hematology Service of the Hospital of San Jose. We analyzed 34 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia; 25 (73.5%) were men. The average age was 43.14 years +/- 14.4. The reason for consultation in the majority of patients (61.8%) was due to general symptoms. Only one was diagnosed during the acceleration phase. A cytogenetic study was performed in 27, of which 20 were Philadelphia positive. The initial treatment was hydroxyurea in 17 patients (50%), busulfan in 5.9%, interferon in 2.9%, hydroxyurea plus busulfan 2.9%. Eight (24%) presented acceleration phase and nine (26%) blast crisis. To date, 25 patients (73.5%) are alive. The median survival was 29.7 months +/- 31.14. Chronic myeloid leukemia is the first successful model of neoplasia treated with substances aimed at the molecular event, and opens the door to new ways of addressing this type of disease.
Disabilities yperfocusing as a dimension of adult attention deficit yperactivity disorder

Patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) suffer not only from inability to focus but also from inability to shift attention for events that trigger their interests. This phenomenon is called “hyperfocusing”. Previous literature about hyperfocusing is scarce and relies mainly on case reports. The study aimed to investigate and compare the severity of hyperfocusing in adult ADHD with and without psycho-stimulant use. ADHD (DSM-IVTR) patients either psycho-stimulant naive (n = 53) or on psycho-stimulants (n = 79) from two ADHD clinics were recruited. The control group (n = 65) consisted of healthy university students. A socio-demographic form, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Wender-Utah Rating Scale, the Adult ADHD SelfReport Scale and the Hyperfocusing Scale were applied to the participants. There was no difference between total Hyperfocusing Scale and Adult ADHD SelfReport Scale scores of two patient groups, but both have higher scores than controls (p < 0.001). Hyperfocusing is higher in adult ADHD and there was no difference between stimulant-naive patients or patients on stimulants. Hyperfocusing can be defined as a separate dimension of adult ADHD. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Review on Gastric Cancer

Epidemiology of stomach cancer varies depending on several parameters including demographic, histological and geographic features. On the other hand, the measures of the associations of gastric cancer with putative risk factors are relatively robust with regard to these variations [1]. Each year approximately 990,000 people are diagnosed with gastric cancer worldwide, of whom about 738,000 die from this disease, making gastric cancer the 4th most common incident cancer and the 2nd most common cause of cancer death [2]. However, its incidence rates in different geographical regions are distinctly varied. Etiologically, gastric cancer is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, nutritional and lifestyle factors, and genetics [3,4]. This review provides an update of the current trends of gastric cancer. Overall, in most developed countries, its incidence has decreased substantially in the past five decades, with the disorder now the 14th most common neoplasm in the USA. However, in many developing countries, the incidence of gastric cancer has increased during the same period. In the Middle East, the incidence varies from high in Iran (age-standardized incidence rate 26·1 per 100 000 individuals per year) to low in Israel (12·5 per 100 000 per year) and Egypt (3·4 per 100 000 per year). Gastric cancer is the most common malignant disease in Iran and Oman [5-7].

Efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment-resistant depression: the evidence thus far

Depression is a common mental disorder, which attributes to significant morbidity, disability and burden of care. A significant number of patients with depression still remain symptomatic after adequate trials of antidepressant treatment as well as psychotherapy, which is often referred to as treatment-resistant depression. Neuromodulation techniques—like electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation, may be useful augmenting techniques in depression, mostly recommended for treatment-resistant cases. Robust evidence exists regarding the efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy in the management of treatment-resistant depression; however, other techniques are understudied. TMS has been increasingly studied in various psychiatric disorders including depression. It has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in major depressive disorder. Over the past two decades, TMS has been studied in diverse groups of the population with depression using several research designs. This article gives an overview of the efficacy of repetitive TMS in treatment-resistant depression with the recent evidence.
Assessing Korean Consumers’ Valuation for BSE Tested and Country of Origin Labeled Beef Products

The objective of this study is to estimate Korean consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for beef products with BSE testing and country of origin labeling. We use a choice experiment to examine consumers’ valuation for beef products with these labels. In addition to analysis using the pooled sample, we also conduct sub-sample analyses based on consumers’ level of risk perception about beef consumption and selected socio-demographic characteristics. Results suggest that Korean consumers value BSE tested beef. They also have a preference for domestic beef vis-a-vis imported beef. When we conducted separate analysis between respondents who have low vs high risk perception about beef consumption, results suggest that those with high risk perception tend to value BSE testing more than country of origin labeling while those with low risk perception value country of origin labeling more than BSE testing. Moreover, results from separate analysis between respondents who have higher education vs lower education and between older vs younger respondents suggest that young or high educated respondents tend to value BSE testing and imported beef from countries which have not experienced BSE outbreaks more than do older or lower educated respondents.
Development of a Depression Screening Protocol for At Risk Patients Based on the Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with increased risk for adult depression. Utilization of the Patient Health Questionnaire Nine (PHQ-9), in combination with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSMV) criteria, aids in the diagnosis of comorbid depression and assessment of severity. Objectives: To standardize the process of screening new adult patients at a specialty care clinic for ACEs. Then, implement a depression screening protocol based on ACE criteria to identify adult patients with comorbid depression. Methods: Demographic, ACE score, PHQ-9 score, and protocol implementation data collected and analyzed by the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) student during initial new patient visit, as well as subsequent visits (if applicable). Results: Of the 105 patients, 104 (99%) were appropriately screened for ACEs, and if applicable depression via the PHQ-9. Following protocol implementation, 15 patients were identified and diagnosed with comorbid depression with appropriate follow-up completed in 93%. Conclusions: Depression screening in at risk patients demonstrating significant childhood trauma leads to an increase in diagnosis comorbid depression. Implications: Depression screening in adults, following assessment of childhood trauma via the ACE questionnaire, aids in the identification of patients with comorbid depression.
The earliest directly dated rock paintings from southern Africa: new AMS radiocarbon dates

Abstract Rock art worldwide has proved extremely difficult to date directly. Here, the first radiocarbon dates for rock paintings in Botswana and Lesotho are presented, along with additional dates for Later Stone Age rock art in South Africa. The samples selected for dating were identified as carbon-blacks from short-lived organic materials, meaning that the sampled pigments and the paintings that they were used to produce must be of similar age. The results reveal that southern African hunter-gatherers were creating paintings on rockshelter walls as long ago as 5723–4420 cal BP in south-eastern Botswana: the oldest such evidence yet found in southern Africa.
Peer-Navigator Support for Latinx Patients with Serious Mental Illness

Background The physical health care needs of Latinxs (Latinx is a term adopted by advocates to refer to men and women, Latinos and Latinas) with serious mental illness (SMI)—individuals unable to complete education, work, or independent living goals because of psychiatric illness—are hindered by a fragmented care system that fails to meet their cultural concerns. Research on African Americans with SMI showed peer navigator programs (PNPs) to be one possible solution to these kinds of problems. Peer navigators are full-time, provider agency employees in recovery from SMI and from the same ethnic group as service recipients (Latinx). They partner with service recipients in day-to-day tasks to help them better engage in and benefit from health care systems. Objectives The purpose of this project was to conduct community-based participatory research (CBPR) to understand the health care needs of Latinxs with SMI, barriers to these needs, and solutions to these barriers. We then used this information to adapt the PNP for African Americans with SMI for Latinxs with SMI. A subsequent comparative effectiveness research study tested the impact of PNP, vs integrated care (IC) alone, on service engagement and secondary outcomes including perceived health, recovery, empowerment, and quality of life. Methods A CBPR team that included 6 Latinxs with SMI, researchers, and service providers conducted all research. The CBPR team conducted 2 studies. Study 1 was a qualitative project with 35 Latinxs with SMI or their service providers. Focus groups were completed with data being coded for themes by independent raters. Study 2 was a controlled trial with 110 research participants randomized to PNP or IC alone. More than 80% of participants’ primary DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) diagnosis was anxiety disorder or depression. Research participants completed measures of service engagement (scheduled and achieved appointments) plus secondary outcomes including perceived physical health, recovery, empowerment, and quality of life at baseline and 4, 8, and 12 months. Results Study 1. Focus group participants reported specific needs related to overall health with special focus on preventive services and healthy living. Barriers to these needs included services that failed to address cultural perspectives including absence of language skills, immigration
Evidence for European stock markets

A fundamental index weighs stocks proportionally to fundamentals such as book value, dividends, or sales. We investigate risk/return characteristics of fundamentally-weighted and market-cap-weighted indexes and employ various riskadjustment approaches to ensure that return differences are not driven by risk. Based on stocks in the DJ Stoxx 600 index from July 1993 to April 2007, we show that fundamentally-weighted indexes achieve higher risk-adjusted returns than marketcap-weighted indexes. Our results provide empirical evidence for former theoretical findings that cap weighting may result in suboptimal risk/return characteristics.
Implementation of a Heart Failure Risk Screening Tool in a Primary Care Setting

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a progressive disease that is difficult to identify in its early stages. The Health ABC HF screening tool allowed primary care providers to identify and target interventions at their highest risk patients. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to introduce providers to the Health ABC HF screening tool and assess the feasibility of using this tool in a primary care setting. Intervention: Six primary care providers used the Health ABC screening tool for 4 weeks on their patients over age 65 with a diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or atherosclerosis. Providers then completed surveys regarding the feasibility of utilizing this screening tool in primary care. Results: 140 unique and eligible patients were seen by included providers. 17.1% of eligible patients were screened by the providers. 25% of those patients screened received interventions from the providers based on the screening tool results. Discussion: Providers appreciated the information from the tool, but felt it was too time consuming. The project was limited by a small sample size of providers, limited time with providers for education, and potential for missing eligible patients based on ICD 10 codes.
