Injection of Oxygenated Persian Gulf Water Into the Southern Bay of Bengal

Persian Gulf Water (PGW) is an oxygenated, high‐salinity water mass that has recently been detected in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). However, little is known about the transport pathways of PGW into the BoB. Ocean glider observations presented here demonstrate the presence of PGW in the southwestern BoB. Output from an ocean reanalysis product shows that this PGW signal is associated with a northward‐flowing filament of high‐salinity water. Particle tracking experiments reveal two pathways: one in the eastern Arabian Sea that takes a minimum of 2 years and another in the western Arabian Sea that takes a minimum of 3 years. The western pathway connects to the BoB via equatorial currents. The greatest influx of PGW occurs between 82° and 87°E during the southwest monsoon. We propose that injection of PGW to the BoB oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) contributes to keeping oxygen concentrations in the BoB above the level at which denitrification occurs.
Joint Bandwidth Allocation and Path Selection in WANs with Path Cardinality Constraints

In this paper, we study a joint bandwidth allocation and path selection problem via solving a multi-objective minimization problem under the path cardinality constraints, namely MOPC. Our problem formulation captures various types of objectives including the proportional fairness, the total completion time, as well as the worst-case link utilization ratio. Such an optimization problem is very challenging since it is highly non-convex. Almost all existing works deal with such a problem using relaxation techniques to transform it to be a convex optimization problem. However, we provide a novel solution framework based on the classic alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) approach for solving this problem. Our proposed algorithm is simple and easy to be implemented. Each step of our algorithm consists of either finding the maximal root of a single-cubic equation which is guaranteed to have at least one positive solution or solving a one-dimensional convex subproblem in a fixed interval. Under some mild assumptions, we prove that any limiting point of the generated sequence under our proposed algorithm is a stationary point. Extensive numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the advantages of our algorithm compared with various baselines.
Endogenous Repair System of Oxidative Damage of DNA

DNA is one of the most important biomolecules of living cells which carries genetic information from generation to generation. Many endogenous and exogenous agents may disrupt the structure of DNA. Change in the cellular genome can lead to errors in replication, transcription and in protein synthesis. DNA damage occurs naturally or result from a metabolic and hydrolytic process which release some very active chemical entities like free radicals, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Reactive Nitrogen Intermediate (RNI), Reactive Carbonyl Species (RCS), lipid peroxidation products and alkylating agents. Superoxide radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide cause a significant threat to cellular integrity by damaging the DNA, lipids, proteins and other biomolecules. Oxidative stress may be explained as a disturbance in the number of free radicals and our system’s ability to neutralize these free radicals. Imbalances in the normal redox potential can also lead to toxic effects via the generation of peroxides. Oxidation of DNA bases leads to the base damage, nick in the strand and break in the strand either single or double strand. Oxidative stress can also cause modifications in normal mechanisms of cell signaling. DNA mutation can result in a number of genetic abnormalities such as cancer, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression. Human body has special protection in the form of antioxidant molecules and enzymes against these free radicals. Generation of ROS and its neutralization must be regulated to protect cells and signalling biomolecules from the deleterious effect of oxidative stress with the involvement of antioxidant systems, enzymes, and specific proteins. DNA repair system is a complex system which helps in the identification, removal of the wrong nucleotide and repairs them and as a result, the cell will produce correct and functional protein and active enzyme.
A Rab11-GEF Parcas recruits Rab11 onto recycling endosomes for rhodopsin transport in Drosophila photoreceptors

Rab11 and its effectors dRip11 and MyoV are essential for polarized post-Golgi vesicle trafficking to photosensitive membrane rhabdomeres in Drosophila photoreceptors. Here, we found that Parcas (Pcs), recently shown to have guanine-nucleotide-exchange (GEF) activity toward Rab11, co-localizes with Rab11 on the trans-side of Golgi units and post-Golgi vesicles at the base of the rhabdomeres in pupal photoreceptors. Pcs fused with the EM-tag APEX2 localizes on 150-300 nm vesicles at the trans-side of Golgi units, which are presumably fly recycling endosomes (RE). Loss of Pcs impairs Rab11 localization on the trans-side of Golgi units and induces the cytoplasmic accumulation of post-Golgi vesicles bearing rhabdomere proteins, as observed in Rab11-deficiency. In contrast, loss of the specific subunits of TRAPPII, another known Rab11-GEF, does not cause any defects on the eye development nor the transport of rhabdomere proteins, however, simultaneous loss of TRAPPII and Pcs shows severe defects on eye development. These results indicated that in pupal photoreceptors, Pcs is the predominant Rab11-GEF, and TRAPPII performs a function that is redundant but subsidiary to that of Pcs. Summary statement Parcas, a Rab11-GEF, recruits Rab11 onto Golgi-associated RE and post-Golgi vesicles in fly photoreceptors. Loss of Parcas results in rhodopsin accumulation within the cytoplasm, similar to that observed under Rab11-deficiency.
Aggregated VLC-RF Systems: Achievable Rates, Optimal Power Allocation, and Energy Efficiency

The aggregated visible light communication (VLC) and radio frequency (RF) system, which can be viewed as a heterogeneous multi-input-multi-output system, can improve data rate compared to the conventional RF communication systems. In this paper, we first develop optimal power allocation schemes for the aggregated VLC-RF systems for the single and the multi-light-emitting diode scenarios under different dimming control setups. Moreover, we study the energy efficiency maximization problem of the considered system with the minimum rate requirement, transmitted power constraint, and the dimming control consideration which is non-convex. By using the Dinkelbach-type algorithm, we tackle this problem by solving a sequence of convex problems which converges to the global solution. Finally, the effect of critical parameters, such as total power threshold, dimming level, and bandwidths, are revealed by some selected numerical results.
Kriging‐based ionospheric TEC, ROTI and amplitude scintillation index (
 S
 4
 ) maps for India

In this study, an attempt is made to develop regional ionospheric total electron content (TEC), rate of TEC index (ROTI) and amplitude scintillation index (S 4) maps using data from 26 dual-frequency global positioning system (GPS) receivers under GPS aided geo-stationary earth orbit augmented navigation programme over Indian region. One-minute spatial TEC maps are generated for the entire Indian region covering 65–100°E geographic longitudes, 5–40°N geographic latitudes with 2° × 2° grid separation using Kriging method. Also, the ROTI and amplitude scintillation index (S 4) maps for every 5 min are generated. The performance of the generated regional TEC maps is evaluated during a severe geomagnetic storm condition. Patterns of equatorial ionisation anomaly (EIA) TEC structures are investigated for St. Patrick's storm between the days 15 and 20 March 2015 with the generated TEC maps. The proposed TEC maps depict the northern crest of EIA features in latitudinal extent and TEC strength. The kriging method detects the suppressed and downshift of EIA features on 18 March 2015. The movement of plasma bubbles are analysed over Indian latitudes during the transition period of a geomagnetic storm on 17 March 2015.
Barriers and Facilitators to Fruit and Vegetable Consumption among Lower-Income Families: Matching Preferences with Stakeholder Resources

ABSTRACT Experts generally agree that greater access to healthy food results in better diet and health for underserved communities. However, we still know very little about which strategies are most likely to reach target populations or have the most success improving diet. Using qualitative methods, we seek to understand the food access needs of lower-income Western New York families and the capacity of stakeholders. Top barriers to healthy food consumption included cost, accessibility, availability, and taste preferences. Top facilitators included affordability and nutrition education. There is interest and capacity among stakeholders to facilitate access to affordable and quality healthy food.
Telemedicine in the emergency department in the era of COVID‐19: front‐line experiences from 2 institutions

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, one of the major changes that has occurred in emergency medicine is the evolution of telemedicine. With relaxation of regulatory and administrative barriers, the use of this already available technology has rapidly expanded. Telemedicine provides opportunity to markedly decrease personal protective equipment (PPE) and reduce healthcare worker exposures. Moreover, with the convenience and availability of access to medical care via telemedicine, a more fundamental change in healthcare delivery in the United States is likely. The implementation of telemedicine in the emergency department (ED) in particular has great potential to prevent the iatrogenic spread of COVID‐19 and protect health care workers. Challenges to widespread adoption of telemedicine include privacy concerns, limitation of physical examination, and concerns of patient experience. In this clinical review, we discuss ED telemedicine applications, logistics, and challenges in the COVID‐19 era as well as recent regulatory and legal changes. In addition, examples of telemedicine use are described from 2 institutions. Examples of future applications of telemedicine within the realm of emergency medicine are also discussed.
Nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge–based dynamic stall control on an SC-1095 airfoil

Dynamic stall is a time-dependent flow separation and stall phenomenon that is present in many applications, including violently maneuvering aircraft, surging compressor, wind turbine, and, most observably, rotorcraft. Nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator has previously demonstrated the control ability in static stall conditions and shows promise to address dynamic stall. The present work explores the ability of nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge to control dynamic stall over an SC-1095 airfoil and summarizes the control law of actuation parameters. The actuation voltage, actuation frequency, and reduced frequencies were varied over large ranges: Vp–p = 7–13 kV, F+ = 0.5–10, and k = 0.05–0.15. Direct aerodynamic measurements were taken for each combination of actuation voltages and actuation frequencies, and fixed combination at different experimental reduced frequencies. It was observed that nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge could effectively improve the dynamic stall characteristics, and three major conclusions were drawn. First, there is a threshold for actuation voltage. Only when the actuation voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage can the separation be effectively suppressed and the steep stall can be alleviated. Second, High F+ has better control performance of maintaining peak lift in the stall regime and achieves better effects in moment control and drag reduction while lift reattachment is better with low F+ on downstroke. Last, with the increase of reduced frequency, the control effect of nanosecond dielectric barrier discharge with settled actuation parameter combination becomes worse, so greater cost needs to be paid for effective control at a larger reduced frequency.
The Effects of Two Elementary School-Based Universal Preventive Interventions on Special Education Students’ Socioemotional Outcomes

A group, randomized, comparative effectiveness trial of two elementary universal preventive interventions (PAX Good Behavior Game [PAX GBG] and the integration of PAX GBG with Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies [PATHS to PAX]) was carried out in general education classrooms in 27 urban elementary schools. Ialongo et al. report on results of the trial for all students. Here, we examine the outcomes of students receiving special education services (N = 650). A linear mixed model analysis of variance (ANCOVA) was conducted with school included as a random effect to examine planned comparisons between conditions. Significant interactions were probed using the Johnson–Neyman technique. For significant and trending results, effect sizes were calculated. Results demonstrated improvement for a number of socioemotional and behavioral variables for students in either intervention, however, the integration of PATHS to PAX appeared to have the most substantial impact for students in special education. Effect sizes ranged from 0.07 to 0.50.

Efficient FEC Scheme for Solar-Powered WSNs Considering Energy and Link-Quality

In solar-powered wireless sensor networks (SP-WSNs), the best use of harvested energy is more important than minimizing energy consumption since energy can be supplied periodically. Meanwhile, as is well known, the reliability of the communication between sensor nodes is very limited due to the resource constraints of sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose an efficient forward error correction (FEC) scheme which can give solar-powered wireless sensor networks more reliable communication. First, the proposed scheme provides energy-adaptive operation for the best use of solar energy. It calculates the amount of surplus energy which can be used for extra operations and then determines the number of additional parity bits for FEC according to this amount of surplus energy. At the same time, it also provides a link quality model that is used to calculate the appropriate number of parity bits for error recovery required for the current data communication environment. Finally, by considering these two parity sizes, it is possible to determine the number of parity bits that can maximize the data reliability without affecting the blacking out of nodes. The evaluation of the performance of the approach was performed by comparing the amount of data collected at the sink node and the number of blackout nodes with other schemes.
The Influence of Organizational Support on Career Commitment of New Generation Employees

With the gradual entry into the post-90s, the new generation of employees has gradually become the main group in the job market, and the post-90s employees are no longer a fresh vocabulary; However, the new characteristics of the new generation of employees are that they make organizations or enterprises unprepared, especially the high turnover rate of employees after the 1990s, which makes the research on the new generation of employees become a hot issue Among them, the research on career commitments of the new generation of employees is rare, so this article will use this as the entry point. To explore the impact of organizational support on the career commitment of the new generation of employees. This paper studies the new generation of employees as the object, constructs a theoretical model of the impact of organizational support on career commitments, and conducts empirical research on the method of sending questionnaires to 205 new generation employees. The research results show that the sense of organizational support has a significant positive impact on the career commitment of the new generation of employees. Among them, in the three dimensions of organizational support, interest in care is most significant for the emotional commitment in the career commitment of the new generation of employees. Positive effect. Gender and age have no significant effect on the sense of organizational support and career commitment for new generation employees. These conclusions have reference value for the management practice of the company.
The Rotenone Models Reproducing Central and Peripheral Features of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex, multi-system, neurodegenerative disorder; PD patients exhibit motor symptoms (such as akinesia/bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability) due to a loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, and non-motor symptoms such as hyposmia, autonomic disturbance, depression, and REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), which precedes motor symptoms. Pathologically, α-synuclein deposition is observed in the central and peripheral nervous system of sporadic PD patients. To clarify the mechanism of neurodegeneration in PD and to develop treatment to slow or stop PD progression, there is a great need for experimental models which reproduce neurological features of PD. Animal models exposed to rotenone, a commonly used pesticide, have received most attention since Greenamyre and his colleagues reported that chronic exposure to rotenone could reproduce the anatomical, neurochemical, behavioral, and neuropathological features of PD. In addition, recent studies demonstrated that rotenone induced neuropathological change not only in the central nervous system but also in the peripheral nervous system in animals. In this article, we review rotenone models especially focused on reproducibility of central and peripheral multiple features of PD. This review also highlights utility of rotenone models for investigation of PD pathogenesis and development of disease-modifying drugs for PD in future.
DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF WHEAT GENOTYPES TO HEAT STRESS DURING GRAIN FILLING

SUMMARY Climatic change affects global agriculture and is a severe threat to global food security due to variability of the three factors measuring climate change (CO2, temperature and precipitation) with temperature being the most crucial one. Wheat is severely affected by high temperatures with reproductive and grain-filling phases being most sensitive, impacting grain number, size and weight. Seed size and weight are the key agronomic traits subjected to artificial selection and involved in the domestication process since the origin of agriculture. Three genotypes Banks, EGA Gregory and Fang-60 with the latter known to be heat tolerant were grown under glass house conditions and subjected to heat stress for 3 days during early- (11–14 dpa – days post anthesis) and late- (27–30 dpa) grain filling stages in a mutually exclusive fashion. The impact of heat stress during early- and late- grain filling on the four major grain characteristics, thousand grain weight (TGW), grain length, grain width and grain thickness was assessed. The tolerant genotype Fang-60 exhibited significantly higher TGW during early-grain filling heat stress than the control possibly due to an ability to exploit the accelerated release of fertilizer under high temperature. Banks and EGA Gregory were moderately tolerant to susceptible to heat stress, respectively, at early- and late-grain filling with Fang-60 being tolerant to both early- and late- grain filling heat stress. This study confirms the availability of significant genetic variation in heat stress response in wheat that might be exploited to adapt wheat to higher growth temperatures.
Patient-centered visualization on supporting patients’ decision-making

Objective: To develop and validate a patient-centered visualization approach to support decision-making by patients who are choosing between two hypothetic therapeutic options. Methods: Infographics that contrast two hypothetical drugs, Drug A (low benefit/low risk) and Drug B (high benefit/high risk), were developed based on the input of the clinicians and patients. We adopted a crowdsourcing approach to test the association of a stakeholder-informed infographic, versus text-based educational information, with audience understanding of the risks and benefits of therapeutic options and with decision-making concerning a particular therapeutic option. Results: The low benefit/low risk drug was consistently preferred over high benefit/high risk. The importance that people placed on potential benefits was consistently associated with medication choice. Perceived importance of medication harms was associated with medication choice only among low-risk patients. Information display (textual versus infographic) and user literacy were not associated with medication choice. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that patient-centered infographics can be developed using participatory design to support patient decision-making process. The potential benefits of a drug was the most consistent predictor of medication choice in the study. Practice Implications: Participatory design and crowdsourcing demonstrates promise to facilitate the participatory design of educational materials necessary for shared-decision making.
Magnetic Organization of Neural Networks via Micro‐Patterned Devices

Guiding neuronal migration and outgrowth has great importance for therapeutic applications and for bioelectronics interfaces. Many efforts have been devoted to the development of tools to form predesigned structured neuronal networks. Here, a unique approach to localize cell bodies and direct neurite outgrowth is described based on local magnetic manipulations. Inspired by spintronic devices, a multi‐layer deposition process is developed to generate nanometric‐thick films with perpendicular magnetization that provide stable attraction forces toward the entire magnetic pads. PC12 cells, a common neuronal model, are transformed to magnetic units by incubation with superparamagnetic nanoparticles, which are then plated and differentiated atop the substrates. The vast majority of MNPs‐loaded cells adhere to the magnetic pads, showing high affinity to the magnetic patterns in correlation with numerical simulations of the magnetic force strength. Additionally, neuronal growth analysis shows that the magnetic substrate is effective in directing the extending neurites, which tend to remain atop the magnetic pads, and even follow complex patterns such as hexagons. This suggests that the MNPs diffuse into the neuronal processes throughout network formation. The ability to remotely control neuronal motility together with network design via smart magnetic materials opens possibilities for new neuronal interfaces and implantable therapeutic devices.
