USDA Forest Service National Woodland Owner Survey: national, regional, and state statistics for family forest and woodland ownerships with 10+ acres, 2011-2013

This report summarizes the results from the 2011-2013 National Woodland Owner Survey (NWOS) conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, Forest Inventory and Analysis program. The focus of the results reported here is family forest and woodland ownerships with holdings of at least 10 acres. Summaries are based on responses from 8,576 family ownerships with at least 10 acres of forest or woodland across 47 U.S. states. Survey summary tables are available at dx.doi. org/10.2737/NRS-RB-99 and include the 36 states in which the minimum target effective sample size of 100 respondents was obtained plus tables for the nation and four regions (North, South, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific Coast). An additional 11 states (Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, and Washington) have sample sizes between 10 and 99 and are included in national and regional summary tables, but state- level survey summary tables are not being published due to small sample sizes. Data for three states (Alaska, Nevada, and Wyoming) are excluded due to the low numbers of respondents (n<10) in each of these states. The survey summary tables provide statistics on general forest ownership patterns, effective sample sizes, and responses to the questions asked on the survey. The 37 survey questions, many with multiple parts, focus on ownership characteristics, land characteristics, reasons for owning land, land ownership history, uses of the forest and woodland, sources of information, concerns, the future of their land, and demographics. For comparison purposes, summary tables from the 2002-2006 iteration of the NWOS are provided along with an additional set of 2011-2013 regional and national summary tables where only states in common with the 2002-2006 iteration are included. In addition, this report includes separate tables with estimated area and estimated number of private, nonindustrial private, and family forest and woodland ownerships by state.
The Characteristics of the Coupling Variation Between the Subtropical Westerly Jet and the Surface Heating Fields over East Asia

The significant impact of heating fields on the upper-tropospheric westerly jet has been revealed in much previous research,but little effort has been paid on differentiating the relative contribution of various heating fields over tropical and subtropical regions.It is meaningful to objectively investigate the key areas of heating fields and their association with the westerly jet and further study the relative contribution of heating fields between tropical and subtropical regions to the variations of the westerly jet,which is helpful for understanding the mechanism of westerly jet activity and valuable for climate prediction of East Asia.In this paper the characteristics of coupling spatial patterns and their temporal variations of the surface heating fields and zonal winds at 200 hPa over East Asia are investigated by using the diagnosis method of singular value decomposition(SVD) for the NCEP/NCAR monthly reanalysis data.The results indicate as follows: In winter,the heating intensity in the Kuroshio Current area of the western Pacific Ocean shows significant correlation with the westerly jet in the upper troposphere with the stronger(weaker) surface heating corresponding to the stronger(weaker) jet intensity,and this coupling pattern shows evident interannual oscillation.On the other hand,the out-phase changes of surface heating between tropical and subtropical regions is closely associated with the uniform change of the westerlies and the key heating areas are mainly located in tropical regions.Moreover,this coupling pattern exhibits obvious decadal variability.In summer,the abnormally opposite variation of the heating between the land and the sea is mainly responsible for the variation of zonal wind at mid-low latitudes,whereas the Arab sea and the northern India Peninsula are the key areas for the meridional migration of the westerly jet,which mainly reflects the local variation of heating fields related to the existence of the Tibetan Plateau.The correlative mechanism of the surface heating fields and upper-tropospheric westerly jet can be explained by using the thermal adaptation exoterica that the vertical structure of atmosphere is determined by the distribution of the heat-source and the wind field always adjusts to the temperature(pressure) variations in large-scale circulation.Comparison of the atmospheric circulation differences in the anomalous years of surface heating further indicates that the response of the meridional differences of midupper air temperature to the anomalous heating is the basic reason for the zonal wind interannual variations in the upper troposphere.
Reynoutria sachalinensis: a new invasive species to the flora of Serbia and its distribution in SE Europe.

During an extensive field mapping of Reynoutria taxa that was carried out in Serbia and Montenegro in the period 2006-2012, an interesting specimen was collected in the vicinity of the Special Nature Reserve and Ramsar site "Carska bara" (Vojvodina, Serbia). The recorded plant was identified as giant knotweed Reynoutria sachalinensis (F. Schmidt) Nakai, and it is the first certain record of this invasive species for Serbia. The species covered an area of 1748 m² on the bank of the canal connected to the river Begej, forming six separate compact stands on the edge of poplar-willow forest, wet grasslands and near agricultural fields, just 3 km from the northern border of Ramsar site "Carska bara". This finding indicates a range extension of R. sachalinensis in the Balkan Peninsula. All distribution data of Reynoutria sachalinensis in Serbia and SE Europe are presented and critically analyzed.
A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial on the homocysteine-lowering effects of different doses of folic acid among patients with hypertension and elevated homocysteine according to methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T genotypes: rationale and methods

Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a well-recognized and modifiable risk factor for cerebral and cardiovascular disease. Folic acid supplementation is the most effective treatment for reducing total homocysteine (tHcy) levels. Additionally, genetic variants of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR, a key enzyme in folate metabolism) modifies the effect of folic acid intervention. The Precision Folic Acid Trial to lower Hcy (PFAT-Hcy, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03472508) sought to answer a critical question: what is the optimal dose of folic acid for Hcy-lowering and whether the optimal dose differs by individual MTHFR genotype. Methods: PFAT-Hcy is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial, conducted at Wuyuan, Anqing, and Lianyungang, China. Eligible participants were men and women aged 45 to 75 years who had hypertension and elevated tHcy (≥10 μmol/L). Participants were randomly assigned to one of 8 different doses of folic acid, ranging from 0 mg to 2.4 mg daily. The primary endpoint was tHcy-lowering. Results: The trial was conducted between August 2017 and October 2018. In the screening period, a total of 5,382 participants were included; of those, 3,958 were included in the run-in period, from which, 2,697 eligible participants were randomized to one of 8 treatment groups, with 337 participants per dose group. Overall, 44.6% of participants were male (n = 1,202), with a mean age of 64.5 (SD:8.2) years. The randomization was successful as demonstrated by the well-balanced distribution of baseline characteristics across the 8 groups. Follow-up visits were completed at the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th weeks of treatment. The overall completion rate was 84.63%. Planned data analyses include curve fitting and nonlinear regression models to identify the optimal folic acid dose for tHcy-lowering. Potential effect modification by MTHFR C677T genotype will also be examined. Conclusions: This is by far the first large folic acid intervention trial in Chinese adults with hypertension and elevated tHcy, a population at high-risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases. This paper lays down essential backgrounds and methods for future publications from the PFAT-Hcy, which will provide high quality evidence to inform clinical and public health guidelines on the optimal dose of folic acid for tHcy-lowering while considering individual MTHFR genotype.
Soft tissue sarcomas: From a morphological to a molecular biological approach

Recently developed molecular genetic techniques have led to the elucidation of tumor‐specific genomic alterations and thereby the reclassification of tumor entities of soft tissue sarcoma. A solitary fibrous tumor‐mimicking tumor with the AHRR‐NCOA2 gene has been isolated as angiofibroma of soft tissue. As for small round cell sarcomas, novel fusion genes such as CIC‐DUX4 and BCOR‐CCNB3 have been identified in these tumor groups. SMARCB1/INI1 deficient tumors with round cell morphology are also expected to be reclassified in three types, based on the combination of their morphology and genotype. The identification of the MDM2 gene amplification in pleomorphic sarcomas has extended the entity of dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS). Our recent molecular investigations elucidated candidates for novel therapeutic strategies. Activation of the Akt‐mTOR pathway was correlated with poor prognosis or tumor grade in spindle cell sarcomas including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. In vitro and in vivo studies of transcription factor Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) demonstrated the close correlation between aggressive biological behavior or chemosensitivity and FOXM1 expression in synovial sarcoma, so far. Finally, in regard to the investigation of cancer‐testis antigens, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma showed frequent and high expression of PRAME and NY‐ESO‐1.
Le rapport Clavreul ou les errements d’un certain discours sur la laïcité . Rapport Clavreul (Principe de laïcité)

Ces dernieres annees ont vu une proliferation de la production non seulement normative mais egalement discursive traitant du principe de laicite. A cet egard, un certain nombre d’avis, d’etude ou encore de rapport ont ete rendus tant par des instances officielles (Conseil d’Etat ou autres autorites consultatives) que par des personnes missionnees par l’Etat. Le rapport de Gilles Clavreul, rendu sur commande du ministere de l’interieur, avait ainsi vocation a se prononcer sur une amelioration de la coordination des actions menees par l’Etat et les collectivites territoriales en matiere de laicite. A la lecture, il s’avere que le rapport ne s’est pas limite au traitement de cette question, et a procede davantage d’une volonte de faire ressortir des situations - reelles ou supposees - jugees problematiques en termes de « laicite, valeurs de la Republique et exigences minimales de la vie en societe ». L’apparentement realise, a cette occasion, entre ces trois notions ou concepts n’est pas etranger aux tensions actuelles relatives a leur interpretation, et ne semble, en definitive, pas etre de nature a contribuer a la tenue d’un debat public raisonne.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of polar lipids in vitro and implications for neurodegenerative disease

The platelet-activating factor (PAF) molecule is a pro-in ﬂ ammatory phospholipid mediator that functions by binding its receptor PTAFR. PAF is known to have a key role in the mechanism of chronic in ﬂ ammation (1) . The pathology of cardiovascular disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases has been linked to chronic in ﬂ ammation (2) . Studies have shown that polar lipids have a signi ﬁ cant anti- in ﬂ ammatory and antithrombotic effect and thus present a potential source of nutraceuticals that protect against the detrimental effects of pro-in ﬂ ammatory processes (3) . This has important implications for disease pathologies linked to chronic in ﬂ ammation. The goal of our study is to determine if polar lipids derived from salmon can attenuate chronic in ﬂ ammation and oxidative stress, in the context of neurodegenerative disease. We performed bioassays to study the anti-in ﬂ ammatory and antioxidative role of salmon lipids. Using DI TNC1 rat astrocytes as an in vitro model, we stimulated one set of cells with 1 μ M amyloid-beta protein (A β ) to induce in ﬂ ammation in the cells. Astrocytes stimulated with LPS (1mg/ml) were included as a positive control. After 24 h incubation with either A β or LPS, the cells were treated with salmon-derived polar lipid extract (SPL). We also treated astrocytes with lipid alone without any induced in ﬂ ammation. Subsequently, RNA was puri ﬁ ed from the cells to analyze PTAFR gene expression levels by qRT-PCR. To understand effects on oxidative stress levels, cells were stained with CellROX Green dye to detect intracellular ROS and imaged using the IMX micro confocal system. All experiments were performed in technical triplicate. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey ’ s post hoc test. Our results show that SPL produce a statistically signi ﬁ cant reduction in PTAFR expression compared to cells stimulated with A β alone (p-value 0.0021) and LPS alone (p-value 0.00027). In addition, after inducing oxidative stress (OS), SPL cause a statistically signi ﬁ cant reduction in intracellular ROS compared to cells not treated with lipid (p-value 0.0057). We conclude that speci ﬁ c lipids attenuate oxidative stress and downregulate pro-in ﬂ ammatory signaling in cells relevant for mediating immune responses. Mechanistically, lipids may exert their activity via inhi-biting PTAFR pro-in ﬂ ammatory signaling in astrocytes. Future experiments will aim at investigating the properties of lipids from different sources, for example, dairy lipids. These ﬁ ndings could inform highly effective dietary preventive strategies against chronic in ﬂ ammation.
Efecto de la alimentación con grasa sobrepasante sobre la producción y composición de la leche de cabra en condiciones tropicales

Effects of supplementation with protected fat and parity on goat milk production and composition were determined with 31 crossbreed Canarias goats located in Maracay, Venezuela. Also, effects on body weight changes, body condition, and blood triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations were evaluated. Additive linear statistical models with repeated measures of time with Proc GLM were used and Tukey test to detect significant differences. The treatment and the calving number had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) over the total production. Goat receiving diets with protected fat showed the longest lactation. Neither treatment nor parity affected milk physical characteristics, but the treatment did increase significantly (P<0.01) all milk components in a profitable way. Treatment had no significant effect on body weight, body condition or voluntary consumption. The calving number had a significant effect (P<0.01) on the milk components and body weight, all of them increased accordingly up to the 4 th calving number. Neither treatment nor parity had a significant effect on blood cholesterol or triglyceride concentrations. There were not significant correlations between blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels or between milk production, milk component levels, body weight or body condition.

Many software artifacts are created, maintained and evolved as part of a software development project. As software developers work on a project, they interact with existing project artifacts, performing such activities as reading previously filed bug reports in search of duplicate reports. These activities often require a developer to peruse a substantial amount of text. In this paper, we investigate whether it is possible to summarize software artifacts automatically and effectively so that developers could consult smaller summaries instead of entire artifacts. To provide focus to our investigation, we consider the generation of summaries for bug reports. We found that existing conversation-based generators can produce better results than random generators and that a generator trained specifically on bug reports can perform statistically better than existing conversation-based generators. We demonstrate that humans also find these generated summaries reasonable indicating that summaries might be used effectively for many tasks.
Der biologische Landbau in Österreich: Eine Erfolgsgeschichte

Summary Austria is, with a proportion of 15%, the leading country in Europe in terms of agricultural land under organic management. Since the beginning of the rapid development of organic farming in the 1990s three stages of the development can be identified: an expansion period, a stagnation period and a period of balanced growth. However analyses show a different sequence of these periods at the regional level. The spread of organic farming is closely
Velocity structure in northern Chile: evidence of subducted oceanic crust in the Nazca Plate

SUMMARY 2-D P -wave velocity models were determined for the subduction zones near Iquique and Antofagasta in northern Chile, simultaneously inverting P - and S-wave arrival times from locally recorded earthquakes for velocity structure and hypocentral locations. A 2-D parametrization was used because of the paucity of data, but is justified by the lack of significant variations along the strike of the subduction zone observed from both refraction profiles and simple 3-D inversions. The crust and upper mantle are parameterized by constant velocity regions of irregular shape, with the size and boundaries of these regions governed by prior information about the structure and by the ability of the data to resolve P-wave velocities. Beneath the Antofagasta region there is evidencc of an approximately 10 km thick layer of oceanic crust attached to the top of the subducting Nazca plate. This crust has a P-wave velocity of 7.3 f 0.1 km s-' and is observed down to a depth of 60 f 10 km. This depth also corresponds to the maximum depth of seismogenic coupling in the Chilean subduction zone. The subducted oceanic crust overlies an oceanic upper mantle with a P-wave velocity of 8.0 f 0.1 km s-'. Apparently, oceanic crust is being subducted beneath Iquique as well. However, this feature is less constrained by the data available from this region.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Empowerment of cancer survivors through information technology : an integrative review

Background: Patient empowerment may be an effective approach to strengthen the role of cancer survivors and to reduce the burden on health care. However, it is not well conceptualized, notably in oncology. Furthermore, it is unclear to what extent information technology (IT) services can contribute to empowerment of cancer survivors. Objective: We aim to define the conceptual components of patient empowerment of chronic disease patients, especially cancer survivors, and to explore the contribution of existing and new IT services to promote empowerment. Methods: Electronic databases were searched to identify theoretical and empirical articles regarding empowerment. We extracted and synthesized conceptual components of patient empowerment (ie, attributes, antecedents, and consequences) according to the integrated review methodology. We identified recent IT services for cancer survivors by examining systematic reviews and a proposed inventory of new services, and we related their features and effects to the identified components of empowerment. Results: Based on 26 articles, we identified five main attributes of patient empowerment: (1) being autonomous and respected, (2) having knowledge, (3) having psychosocial and behavioral skills, (4) perceiving support from community, family, and friends, and (5) perceiving oneself to be useful. The latter two were specific for the cancer setting. Systematic reviews of IT services and our additional inventory helped us identify five main categories: (1) educational services, including electronic survivorship care plan services, (2) patient-to-patient services, (3) electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) services, (4) multicomponent services, and (5) portal services. Potential impact on empowerment included knowledge enhancement and, to a lesser extent, enhancing autonomy and skills. Newly developed services offer promising and exciting opportunities to empower cancer survivors, for instance, by providing tailored advice for supportive or follow-up care based on patients' input. Conclusions: We identified five main components of empowerment and showed that IT services may especially contribute to empowerment by providing knowledge. The components of empowerment could be used to develop IT services for cancer survivors. It is important to take into account patients’ needs, follow up on these needs, and create a service that is attractive and easy to use. (J Med Internet Res 2015;17(11):e270) doi:10.2196/jmir.4818
Nonuniform Distribution of Tundra Snow Cover in Eastern Siberia

Abstract Characteristics of snow cover in a small watershed in Arctic tundra near Tiksi, eastern Siberia, were studied by observation and model simulation. First, helicopter observation, snow survey on three traverse lines, and trigonometric survey of snowdrift were carried out at the end of the winters of 1999 and 2000 to estimate the amount and distribution of snow. The observed locations of snowdrifts in the two years were mostly the same. The area of the snowdrift, including shallow snowdrifts, was larger in the year of high winter precipitation than in the year of low winter precipitation. The snowdrifts were formed on the riverbed and lee sides of cols rather than on steep leeward-facing slopes. Second, snow distribution was simulated using a snow distribution model. The results of simulated snow distribution at the end of winter agreed well with the results of the observations. The results of the simulations showed that approximately 40% of winter precipitation was sublimated. The simulations also .
