It is important that population-based cancer registries provide accurate and reliable data for public health purposes. These data are essential data for planning of cancer control and prevention. In this study, we examined cancer incidence rates (year 2005 – 2010) in four MECC registries (Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Izmir (Turkey)) and compared with the rates in the US. The overall age-standardized incidence rates for males were highest in the US followed by Israeli Jews, Izmir (Turkey), Cyprus, Israeli Arabs, and lowest in Jordan. In women the rates of cancer of all sites were also highest in US women followed by Israeli Jews, Cyprus, Israeli Arabs, Izmir (Turkey), and lowest in Jordan. It is of interest that although site-speci ﬁ c cancer rates differ between the countries studied, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers are within the ﬁ ve most common cancers males in all countries studied. In females, breast colorectal and endometrium cancers are three of the ﬁ ve most common cancers in females in all countries studied. The results presented in this paper can have implications for opportunities in cancer control and prevention in these countries. Future studies on individual cancer sites with highest rates in these Countries are currently underway.
Video Attribute Prototype Network: A New Perspective for Zero-Shot Video Classification

Video attributes, which leverage video contents to instantiate class semantics, play a critical role in diversifying semantics in zero-shot video classification, thereby facilitating semantic transfer from seen to unseen classes. However, few presences discuss video attributes, and most methods consider class names as class semantics that tend to be loosely defined. In this paper, we propose a Video Attribute Prototype Network (VAPNet) to generate video attributes that learns in-context semantics between video captions and class semantics. Specifically, we introduce a cross-attention module in the Transformer decoder by considering video captions as queries to probe and pool semantic-associated class-wise features. To alleviate noises in pre-extracted captions, we learn caption features through a stochastic representation derived from a Gaussian representation where the variance encodes uncertainties. We utilize a joint video-to-attribute and video-to-video contrastive loss to calibrate visual and semantic features. Experiments show that VAPNet significantly outperforms SoTA by relative improvements of 14.3% on UCF101 and 8.8% on HMDB51, and further surpasses the pre-trained vision-language SoTA by 4.1% and 17.2%. Code is available1.
Observer-Based Control of Position and Tension for an Aerial Robot Tethered to a Moving Platform

In this letter, we address a challenging version of the problem of controlling tethered aerial vehicles (also known as UAV, MAV, and UAS) by considering the aerial robot linked to a generic and independently moving platform. We solve the exact tracking control problem for both the 3-D position of the robot (either absolute or with respect to the platform) and the tension along the link. To achieve this goal, we prove some fundamental system properties, useful to design a nonlinear controller, such as differential flatness and dynamic feedback linearizability. To close the control loop, a set of minimal and standard sensors is proposed. Then, we show that it is possible to retrieve the full system state from those sensors by means of nonlinear measurements transformations and a bank of low-dimension estimators based on the nonlinear high gain observer. The ability of the proposed observer-controller method is tested by extensive numerical simulations spanning many nonideal conditions.
Imagen y posicionamiento de las marcas de automóviles en 2004 y 2009: diferencias de percepción en función de la experiencia en la conducción. Un análisis comparado entre estudiantes universitarios

The brand positioning is considered a cornerstone in the communication and marketing strategy for any organization that intends to compete in the market (Kotler y Keller,2007; Joachismtaler y Aaker, 2005; Trout y Rivkin, 2001). Moreover, in Spain the automotive sector occupies a prominent place in the industry, both in terms of its contribution to GDP and from the workplace. Therefore, in this study we analyzed the positioning of car brands by students in 2004 and 2009, and the incidence of driving practice on that positioning. The results reveal the structure of the automobile market in all cases where several competing groups depending on the price. Also found significant differences in the midrange segment in both periods analyzed, both in the case of students driving license as in the case of students without such authorization.
Integrating identification and quantification uncertainty for differential protein abundance analysis with Triqler

Protein quantification for shotgun proteomics is a complicated process where errors can be introduced in each of the steps. Triqler is a Python package that estimates and integrates errors of the different parts of the label-free protein quantification pipeline into a single Bayesian model. Specifically, it weighs the quantitative values by the confidence we have in the correctness of the corresponding PSM. Furthermore, it treats missing values in a way that reflects their uncertainty relative to observed values. Finally, it combines these error estimates in a single differential abundance FDR that not only reflects the errors and uncertainties in quantification but also in identification. In this tutorial, we show how to (1) generate input data for Triqler from quantification packages such as MaxQuant and Quandenser, (2) run Triqler and what the different options are, (3) interpret the results, (4) investigate the posterior distributions of a protein of interest in detail and (5) verify that the hyperparameter estimations are sensible.
Using brain cell-type-specific protein interactomes to interpret genetic data in schizophrenia

Genetics have nominated many schizophrenia risk genes that lack functional interpretation. To empower such interpretation, we executed interaction proteomics for six risk genes in human induced neurons and found the resulting protein network to be enriched for common variant risk of schizophrenia in Europeans and East Asians. The network is down-regulated in layer 5/6 cortical neurons of patients and can complement fine-mapping and eQTL data to prioritize additional genes in GWAS loci. A sub-network centered on HCN1 is enriched for common variant risk and also contains proteins (HCN4 and AKAP11) enriched for rare protein-truncating mutations in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disease. Our findings establish brain cell-type-specific interactomes as an organizing framework to facilitate interpretation of genetic and transcriptomic data in schizophrenia and psychiatric diseases.
FAULTING ASSOCIATED WITH LARGE EARTHQUAKES AND THE AVERAGE

We determine approximate average rates of deformation in portions of eastern and central Asia for the last 80 years. These rates are based on estimates of source dimensions, average displacements, seismic moments, and orientations of faults of all large earthquakes (M>7.5) and as many other major earthquakes (M≥7.0) as possible in Asia since 1900. A major part of this study is the compilation of these data. For separate parts of Asia we combine seismic moment tensors to estimate the average rotational strain (or deformation) tensors for these regions for the last 80 years. We estimate that shortening across the Tien Shan has occurred at 11 mm/yr (between 5 and 19 mm/yr). Left-lateral shear on easterly trending planes in Mongolia, in northwestern Tibet, Gansu, and Ningxia, and on the Xianshuihe fault in western Sichuan has been very rapid, more than 10 mm/yr in each region, and apparently as rapid as 40 mm/yr in northwestern Tibet, Gansu, and Ningxia. Slower rates of a few to 10 mm/yr appear to characterize east-west extension and conjugate north-south shortening of Tibet. The earthquake history of the Himalaya is consistent with rates of underthrusting of more than 10 mm/yr but is probably less than the convergence rate of India with Eurasia of about 50 mm/yr. The overall strain field is consistent with a large part of India's penetration into Eurasia being absorbed by the extrusion of material out of India's way. As a result, southeast China moved at about 21 mm/yr east-southeast with respect to Eurasia in the last 80 years with an uncertainty of about a factor of 2 in this estimated rate.

Integrating Physical Therapists Into Primary Care Within A Large Health Care System

Background: Bellin Health in Wisconsin has pioneered the colocation and integration of physical therapists into primary care pods. Methods: This is an observational study based on one in-person visit and several interviews. Results: For patients with musculoskeletal complaints, providers make warm handoffs to the physical therapist, who is a few steps away. The physical therapist performs most of the visit, providing diagnosis, treatment, and patient education. Research studies show that—compared with physician management—appropriate patients managed by physical therapists have better outcomes, lower costs, and higher patient satisfaction. In a fee-for-service environment, the business case for this innovation requires an increased number of follow-up referrals to the physical therapy department. In the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, physical therapists can provide video visits with equal quality compared with in-person visits. Conclusion: The Bellin Health program is a blueprint for other primary care practices to integrate physical therapists into primary care teams. ( J Am Board Fam Med 2021;34:866–870.)

Conservation Across Borders: Biodiversity in an Interdependent World

Conservationists have long been aware that political boundaries rarely coincide with natural boundaries. From the establishment of early "peace parks" to the designation of continental migratory pathways, a wide range of transborder mechanisms to protect biodiversity have been established by conservationists in both the public and private sectors. "Conservation Across Borders" presents a broad overview of the history of transboundary conservation efforts and an accessible introduction to current issues surrounding the subject. Through detailed examinations of two initiatives, the International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA) and the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative (Y2Y), the book helps readers understand the benefits and challenges of landscape-scale protection. In addition to discussing general concepts and the specific experience of ISDA and Y2Y, the author considers the emerging concept of "conservation effectiveness" and offers a comparative analysis of the two projects. The book ends with a discussion of the complex relationships among civil society, governments, and international borders. By considering the history, goals, successes, and failures of two divergent initiatives, the book offers important insights into the field of transborder conservation along with valuable lessons for those studying or working in the field.
Wavelets for modeling in remote sensing

This paper addresses the problem of modeling of Earth phenomena from remotely sensed images. In the field of remote sensing, the observed phenomena are most often multi- scale phenomena such as the waves in oceans, the spatial organization of street networks in cities. For extracting information, or processing this kind of images, a multiresolution approach and modeling is often most powerful than classical approaches. We intend to present some winning applications based on multiresolution models derived from the representation provided by multiresolution analysis and wavelet transforms (WT). After a short reminder of WT and an example of application to a remotely sensed image, three applications where modeling based on WT improves the quality of results are presented: vine detection, streets extraction in urban areas and improvement of the spatial resolution of remotely sensed images.
A petrogenetic model for the comagmatic origin of chassignites and nakhlites: Inferences from chlorine‐rich minerals, petrology, and geochemistry

Twelve samples belonging to the chassignite and nakhlite subgroups of Martian meteorites were investigated using a variety of micro‐beam analytical techniques to gain insight into the petrogenesis of these two meteorite classes. There are a striking number of geochemical similarities between the chassignites and nakhlites, including mineralogy and petrology, crystallization age, cosmic‐ray exposure age, and radiogenic isotopic compositions. However, there are also geochemical differences, namely in trace element systematics of pyroxenes, that have led some authors to conclude that the nakhlites are comagmatic with each other, but not comagmatic with the chassignites. On the basis of data presented here, we propose a model in which these differences can be reconciled by the addition of an exogenous Cl‐rich fluid to the chassignite‐nakhlite magma body shortly after the formation of the cumulate horizon that was sampled by the Chassigny meteorite. This model is supported by the textural and chemical associations of the volatile‐bearing minerals apatite, amphibole, and biotite, which record a history starting with the addition of a Cl‐ and LREE‐enriched fluid to the magma body. As the magma continued to crystallize, it eventually reached chloride saturation and degassed a Cl‐rich fluid phase. Depending on the provenance of the Cl‐rich fluid, this model could explain how the chassignites and nakhlites originated from an LREE‐depleted source, yet all exhibit LREE‐enriched bulk‐rock patterns. Additionally, the model explains the range in oxygen fugacity that is recorded by the chassignites and nakhlites because eventual exsolution and loss of Cl‐rich fluid phases near the end of crystallization of the nakhlite sequence leads to auto‐oxidation of the magma body due to the preferential partitioning of Fe2+ into the fluid phase.
Analysis of Upper Air, Ground and Remote Sensing Data for the Atlas Field Campaign in San Juan, Puerto Rico

The general climate of the island of Puerto Rico is dominated by the easterly trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean, and during synoptically calm days by the topographic and local land surface characteristics [1]. The urban canopy of the metropolitan area of San Juan, capital city of the Island, may introduce a new microclimate that changes the characteristics of the low atmosphere and interacts with the other microclimates already present in the island. The primitive land cover and land use (LCLU) of the metropolitan area of San Juan was composed by broadleaf trees, moist soils, and very dense vegetation in general. The urban LCLU changes the balance for the mass, momentum and energy between the bottom boundary and the lower atmosphere, creating different climate conditions over urban and rural regions. Some of these differences are low relative humidity and high temperatures observed in urban areas when compared to rural areas. These in turn produces a convective circulation over the urban areas, a phenomenon compared to the sea and land breezes, commonly known as heat islands (UHI). Factors that contribute to the formation of the UHI are anthropogenic heat sources, aerosols from pollutants, fast water canalization due to the presence of buildings and streets, among others. The comparison between urban and rural climates is the most common approach to analyze the UHI. These contrasts are larger in clear and calm conditions and tend to disappear in cloudy and windy weather. The UHI was recognized in the early 1950 s as closed isotherms that separates the city from the general temperature field [2]. The impact of the urban LCLU in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was quantified calculating the difference between historical data sets for the air temperature over an identified urban area and a rural area dT(U-R). The analysis of the climatological data revealed that a UHI exists in the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The data reveals a permanent urban heat island effect present in the SJMA during the year, which is increasing at a rate of 0.41oC/decade. These findings encouraged the planning and execution of an intense field campaign in February 2004 referred as the ATLAS San Juan mission. The focus of the remaining of this report is the analysis of the data for this field campaign.
Ozone and nitrogen dioxide vertical distributions by UV‐visible solar occultation from balloons

A light and easily handled balloon-borne uv-visible spectrometer was designed for investigating ozone photochemistry in the Arctic winter. The optical sonde was flown 10 times during the EASOE campaign at Kiruna in Northern Sweden from November 1991 until March 1992. The flights gave the first simultaneous measurements of the vertical distributions of ozone and nitrogen dioxide in the Arctic winter.
Modeling solute transport influenced by multiprocess nonequilibrium and transformation reactions

We present an advective-dispersive solute transport model that explicitly accounts for multiple sources of nonequilibrium and transformation reactions during steady state flow in porous media. The multiprocess nonequilibrium with transformation (MPNET) model is formulated for cases where nonequilibrium, caused by a combination of transport-related and sorption-related processes, and abiotic/biotic transformations can be described as first-order processes. The impact of the coupling of nonequilibrium and transformation reactions on solute transport is examined using selected illustrative examples. The performance of the model is evaluated by comparing predictions obtained with the model, where values for all model parameters are obtained independently, to a data set obtained from the literature. The prediction obtained with the MPNET model matched the data very well, much better than did the predictions obtained with the MPNET model assuming no degradation and with a model that does not account for rate-limited sorption.
Conquest: Better Performance Through a Disk/Persistent-RAM Hybrid File System

Conquest is a disk/persistent-RAM hybrid file system that is incrementally deployable and realizes most of the benefits of cheaply abundant persistent RAM. Conquest consists of two specialized and simplified data paths for incore and on-disk storage and outperforms popular diskbased file systems by 43% to 97%.
Control of recollection by slow gamma dominating mid-frequency gamma in hippocampus CA1

Behavior is used to assess memory and cognitive deficits in animals like Fmr1-null mice that model Fragile X Syndrome, but behavior is a proxy for unknown neural events that define cognitive variables like recollection. We identified an electrophysiological signature of recollection in mouse dorsal Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) hippocampus. During a shocked-place avoidance task, slow gamma (SG) (30–50 Hz) dominates mid-frequency gamma (MG) (70–90 Hz) oscillations 2–3 s before successful avoidance, but not failures. Wild-type (WT) but not Fmr1-null mice rapidly adapt to relocating the shock; concurrently, SG/MG maxima (SGdom) decrease in WT but not in cognitively inflexible Fmr1-null mice. During SGdom, putative pyramidal cell ensembles represent distant locations; during place avoidance, these are avoided places. During shock relocation, WT ensembles represent distant locations near the currently correct shock zone, but Fmr1-null ensembles represent the formerly correct zone. These findings indicate that recollection occurs when CA1 SG dominates MG and that accurate recollection of inappropriate memories explains Fmr1-null cognitive inflexibility.
Greenland ice sheet surface melt extent and trends: 1960–2010

Abstract Observed meteorological data and a high-resolution (5 km) model were used to simulate Greenland ice sheet surface melt extent and trends before the satellite era (1960–79) and during the satellite era through 2010°. The model output was compared with passive microwave satellite observations of melt extent. For 1960–2010 the average simulated melt extent was 15 ± 5%. For the period 1960–72, simulated melt extent decreased by an average of 6%, whereas 1973–2010 had an average increase of 13%, with record melt extent in 2010. The trend in simulated melt extent since 1972 indicated that the melt extent in 2010 averaged twice that in the early 1970s. The maximum and mean melt extents for 2010 were 52% (∼9.5 × 105 km2) and 28% (∼5.2 × 105 km2), respectively, due to higher-than-average winter and summer temperatures and lower-than-average winter precipitation. For 2010, the southwest Greenland melt duration was 41–60 days longer than the 1960–2010 average, while the northeast Greenland melt duration was up to 20 days shorter. From 1960 to 1972 the melting period (with a >10% melt extent) decreased by an average of 3 days a−1. After 1972, the period increased by an average of 2 days a−1, indicating an extended melting period for the ice sheet of about 70 days: 40 and 30 days in spring and autumn, respectively.
