Applying the collaborative assessment and management of suicidality (CAMS) to suicidal adolescents.

Suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death for adolescents, with limited evidence of empirically-supported treatment approaches for reducing risk of suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation in this population. The purpose of the current article is to present the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) therapeutic framework as a potentially useful approach to working with suicidal adolescents given the egalitarian dynamic between therapist and client, as well as the focus on targeting the client’s unique drivers of suicide. The published literature was reviewed to determine the current state of science for empirically-supported psychotherapies developed specifically for suicidal adolescents. We conclude that while initial CAMS research and clinical projects are promising, the therapeutic framework requires the development of a rigorous line of research to achieve important benchmarks for establishment as an empirically-supported psychosocial intervention for suicidal adolescents.
Timing and Outcomes of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy After Ischemic Stroke

Background Guidelines recommend using percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for dysphagia after 2 weeks of stroke onset. We aimed to study the impact of PEG timing on outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods In this retrospective study of patients with ischemic stroke and PEG between 2014 and 2019, early PEG was defined as PEG tube placed within 14 days of stroke and late PEG after 14 days. Outcomes of 30-day mortality, PEG-related complications, and functional swallow recovery were compared between early and late PEG. Logistic regression model assessed factors associated with PEG timing. Results The median time of PEG tube placement after stroke was 10.9 days. Of the 161 included patients, 60.9% had early PEG, and its associated patient factors were nursing facility discharge (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 3.4, confidence interval (CI): 1.48 - 7.82) and infection (OR: 0.32, CI: 0.139 - 0.178). Late PEG had 3.27 times greater odds of swallowing recovery, but mortality and complications were not significantly different between early and late PEG. Conclusions Skilled nursing facility disposition and lack of infection were predictors of early PEG, constituting the majority of PEG placed for ischemic stroke-related dysphagia. Although better odds of swallowing recovery were seen with late PEG, likely implicating better patient selection, overall, the timing of PEG tube placement did not impact short-term mortality and complications.

A PID Tuning Method for Hexapod Gait Control Based on Genetic Algorithm

Hexapods are widely used in the field of rescue robots that transport in complex terrains which are difficult for traditional wheeled robots to traverse. Currently, the method for hexapod gait control is often PID, a classical method that is universally exploited in all control systems in general. However, the fine-tuning of PID’s hyper-parameters(i.e. kp, ki and kd) mainly rely on chances and the experience of tuners. Therefore, it is both urgent and critical to find an automatic way to get through the tuning process and return optimal results. Aiming at this, this paper puts forward a novel approach to adjust these parameters with genetic algorithm. It first builds a computational model of the hexapod, then the terrain, then designates the input, output and constants of the system, builds the PID closed loop, and finally tunes it using genetic algorithm. The approach described in the paper leads to optimal results in a reasonable amount of time. This makes having hexapods walk on uneven terrain with ease and automacy an alluring possibility.
Studying anaerobiosis in a model experiment with kaolin

A stagnant moisture regime was modeled in kaolin containing a wide range of ferric minerals from the Prosyanovskoe site. The dynamics of growth of the main physiological groups of microorganisms and changes in the physicochemical properties of kaolin were studied. Experiments proved the ability of the FeRed iron-reducing bacterium strain found in the developing cenosis to reduce iron and synthesize magnetite; however, biogenic magnetite was not registered in the treated kaolin. Anaerobiosis resulted in formation of the thermodynamically unstable ferric hydroxides: ferrihydrite 5F e2 O 3 . 9H 2 O, akaganeite βFeOOH, and a new ferric hydroxide modification that caused an increase in the oxalate-soluble iron from 1 to 10% of the total iron. A low-ordered protolepidocrocite crystallized to a regular lepidocrocite. A decrease in the chemogenic forms of goethite and hematite and an increase in the biogenic forms of these minerals developing over the ferrihydrite were noted.
Harmful Substances in Cosmetics and Impact on Ocean

The article expresses the toxicological profile of micro plastics, heavy metals and active ingredients on cosmetics. The focus is on pollution hazards to the biosphere, humans and the environment. Animals easily absorb plastic particles, which not only spread throughout the food chain, but have also been shown to exist in humans. While the micro plastics in cosmetic bags themselves can leach toxins into the ocean, synergies between micro plastics and other pollutants can increase the toxicity of micro plastics to living things. Cosmetics are also harmful in the use of processing additives, polypropylene like absorb organic pollutants. In the future, in order to reduce the environmental pollution of cosmetics, we should use green cosmetics and reduce the use of packaging bags.
Morphology, Cytotoxicity, and Antimicrobial Activity of Electrospun Polycaprolactone Biomembranes with Gentamicin and Nano-Hydroxyapatite

The aim of this research is to develop new nanocomposite membranes (NMs) for guided bone regeneration from polycaprolactone (PCL), with different concentrations of gentamicin sulfate (GEN) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) through electrospinning. The obtained NMs were characterized for structure through SEM and AFM, which revealed the influence of GEN and nHAP on the fiber diameter. The addition of GEN lowered the fiber diameter, and the addition of nHAP increased the diameter of the fibers. The NMs demonstrated antibacterial properties against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, B. cereus, and E. coli depending on the drug concentration, while being negligibly affected by the nHAP content. NM cytotoxicity assessment, performed once using the MTT assay, revealed no cytotoxicity. The developed NMs could be a promising alternative for guided bone regeneration.
Perceived Land Tenure Security and Rural Transformation: Empirical Evidence from Ghana

Tenure security is believed to be critical in spurring agricultural investment and productivity. Yet what improves or impedes tenure security is still poorly understood. Using household- and plot-level data from Ghana, this study analyzes the main factors associated with farmers’ perceived tenure security. Individually, farmers perceive greater tenure security on plots acquired via purchase or inheritance than on land allocated by traditional authorities. Collectively, however, perceived tenure security lessens in communities with more active land markets and economic vibrancy. Migrant households and women in polygamous households feel less secure about their tenure, while farmers with political connections are more confident about their tenure security.
The Alliance Puzzle: Known Terrain, Black Boxes, and the Road Ahead

S trategic alliances have been a focus of attention among management scholars for more than two decades, coming on the heels of earlier work in economics, sociology, and law, among other areas. Interest in the formation, operation, and performance of alliances has not abated but rather seems to be growing stronger by the day. In academic conferences such as those of the Academy of Management, the Strategic Management Society and the Academy of International Business, strategic alliances now capture a substantial, sometimes dominant, share of papers, symposia, and panels. Management journals as well as their counterparts in economics, sociology, marketing, and international business publish a large number of alliance-related papers, and many have devoted special issues to the topic. Alliances have been the subject of numerous scholarly and trade books, research reports, policy papers, and “how to” guides produced by scholars, practitioners, consultancies, law firms, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations (e.g., the Conference Board). Business schools offer alliance courses and training programs, whereas corporations, some with newly established units dedicated to alliances, have developed best practices. Associations of alliance professionals permit them to share experiences and develop remedies for the problems that often plague these hybrid forms of cooperation. Past research has greatly enhanced our knowledge of alliances. It has produced deeper understanding of the workings of alliances, from initiation and formation to operation and termination, and has yielded important insights into their shortcomings and vulnerabilities. This research has also shown, however, the confines of the current theoretical frameworks and the limitations of prevailing methodologies, which have produced often-inconsistent findings and numerous “black boxes. ” A vast, untapped terrain appears to lie beneath the revealed patterns of alliance diffusion and performance, which past scholarship has shown little inclination to explore. 1

An ELDC-Free 4th-Order CT SDM Facilitated by 2nd-Order NS CT-SAR and AC-Coupled Negative-R

This article presents an excess loop delay compensation (ELDC) free 20 MHz bandwidth (BW) fourth-order continuous-time sigma-delta modulator (CT SDM) facilitated by a noise-shaping continuous-time successive-approximation register (NS CT-SAR) ADC. The modulator comprises a second-order single amplifier biquad (SAB) loop filter (LF) and a second-order NS CT-SAR with a passive integrator. The NS CT-SAR provides a stable second-order NS with a dedicated reset operation to ensure a robust input biasing for its CT interface. With ping-pong operation in the passive integrator, the delay of the 6b CT quantizer (QTZ) with 1b redundancy reduces to only one SA cycle, thus enabling the ELDC-free design. An ac-coupled negative-R is introduced to support the SAB integrator, which achieves low power and maintains a stable performance at band-edge input. The prototype is fabricated in 28-nm CMOS technology, occupying an active area of 0.037 mm2. It achieves 75.5-dB SNDR with 20 MHz BW at 750 MHz sampling frequency while consuming 2.78 mW from 1.5 to 1 V supply voltage. The proposed SDM yields a Walden figure-of-merit (FoMw) of 14.3 fJ/conversion step and a Schreier FOM (FoMS) of 174.1 dB, which are competitive among single loop architectures with similar sampling frequency and BW, while this design is ELDC-free.
Hybrid FeWO4-Hyaluronic Acid Nanoparticles as a Targeted Nanotheranostic Agent for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Tumor Photothermal Therapy

Background Development of versatile nanoplatform still remains a great challenge due to multistep synthesis and complicated compositions. Therefore, it is significant to develop a facile method to synthesize a nanocomposite to achieve multimodal imaging and even imaging-guided cancer therapeutics. Methods and Results In our study, hyaluronic acid-functionalized iron (II) tungstate nanoparticles (HA-FeWO4 NPs) were successfully synthesized as a versatile nanoplatform by a facile one-pot hydrothermal procedure. The formed multifunctional HA-FeWO4 NPs were investigated via a series of characterization techniques, which demonstrated good biocompatibility, excellent dispersion, low cytotoxicity, active tumor-targeting ability and high photothermal efficiency. Furthermore, tumor was clearly visualized by HA-FeWO4 NPs with multimodal imaging of infrared thermal imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography imaging in 4T1 tumor bearing mice. More importantly, HA-FeWO4 could achieve multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy of 4T1 tumors. Conclusion The constructed HA-FeWO4 NPs have great potential as ideal nanotheranostic agents for multimodal imaging and even imaging-guided cancer theranostics in biological systems.

Algorithms for fundamental invariants and equivariants of finite groups

For a ﬁnite group, we present three algorithms to compute a generating set of invariant simultaneously to generating sets of basic equivariants, i.e., equivariants for the irreducible representations of the group. The main novelty resides in the exploitation of the orthogonal complement of the ideal generated by invariants; Its symmetry adapted basis delivers the fundamental equivariants. Fundamental equivariants allow to assemble symmetry adapted bases of polynomial spaces of higher degrees, and these are essential ingredients in exploiting and preserving symmetry in computations. They appear within algebraic computation and beyond, in physics, chemistry and engineering. Our ﬁrst construction applies solely to reﬂection groups and consists in applying symmetry preserving interpolation, as developed by the same authors, along an orbit in general position. The fundamental invariants can be read oﬀ the H-basis of the ideal of the orbit while the fundamental equivariants are obtained from a symmetry adapted basis of an invariant direct complement to this ideal in the polynomial ring. The second algorithm takes as input primary invariants and the output provides not only the secondary invariants but also free bases for the modules of basic equivariants. These are constructed as the components of a symmetry adapted basis of the orthogonal complement, in the polynomial ring, to the ideal generated by primary invariants. The third algorithm proceeds degree by degree, determining the fundamental invariants as forming a H-basis of the Hilbert ideal, i.e., the polynomial ideal generated by the invariants of positive degree. The fundamental equivariants are simultaneously computed degree by degree as the components of a symmetry adapted basis of the orthogonal complement of the Hilbert ideal.
ON THE ENERGY DISSIPATION OF HIGH OVERFLOW DAM WITH FLIP BUCKET AND ESTIMATION OF DOWNSTREAM LOCAL EROSION

This paper deals with the problem of energy dissipation of high overflow dam with flip bucket and the estimation of downstream local erosion. Besides the kinetic energy carried away by the tailwater flow, the three ways of energy dissipation, i.e. (1) along the surface of overflow dam, (2) within the trajectory of jet and (3) in the effected water cushion, are discussed firstly. Thereby, the amount of energy, △E_(3-4), dissipated in the water cushion composed of the tailwater and the scour pit eroded by the fallen jet is estimated. By knowing the rate of energy dissipation per unit volume of the water cushion, η, the volume of water cushion to fulfill the requirement of energy dissipation is obtained as V=△E_(3-4)/η. Furthermore, the maximum depth of water cushion, T, is determined from the relationship between V and T. Since η is proportional to H~(1/2), so the expression of T obtained by the above procedure is T=K_3q~(0.5)H~(0.25). In the stage of planning and preliminary design, K_3 may be considered as 1.25 for the quick estimation of local erosion. Prototype observation and model test data of erosion pit of eight overflow dams are compared with the corresponding estimated erosion depth, and their basic agreement is acquired. In the another part of this paper, the horizontal distance of trajectory is discussed. It indicates that the elevation of flip bucket plays important role as well as the lip angle of the bucket. So that, the lip angle of the bucket corresponding to the maximum trajectory distance is usually less than 45°. The rear slope of the erosion pit is used as the criterion of the effect of local erosion against the stability of dam, and the critical value of this slope is suggested.
Integrated MRI-guided radiation therapy: Opportunities and challenges

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can categorize cancerous and healthy tissues both anatomically and functionally with high spatial and temporal resolution. This non-invasive biological probe has been integrated with a radiation therapy device that can differentially target the most aggressive and resistant regions of the tumor. These treatment devices, combining imaging and targeting, have recently been clinically deployed, making the aspiration of integrated MRI-guided radiation therapy (MRIgRT) a reality. The two main clinical drivers for the adoption of MRIgRT are the ability to image and adapt to the patient anatomy changes that occur before and during treatment, and to also adapt to the biological characteristics of the tumor. Motion management and biological targeting can improve patient outcomes by increasing the radiation dose delivered to the tumor to improve the chance of cure and simultaneously reducing the radiation delivered to healthy tissue, thereby reducing treatment related toxicities. Together, the benefits are expected to result in increased survival and quality of life for cancer patients. In this review we describe MRIgRT as it is today, and the opportunities and challenges of this new weapon in the fight against cancer.
