Saturated area dynamics and streamflow generation from coupled surface–subsurface simulations and field observations

Abstract A distributed physically-based model describing coupled surface–subsurface flows is applied to an instrumented catchment to investigate the links between runoff generation processes and the dynamics of saturated areas. The spatial characterization of the system is obtained through geophysical measurements and in situ observations. The model is able to reproduce the dynamics of the system through the calibration of only few parameters with a clear physical interpretation, providing a solid basis for our numerical investigations. Such investigations demonstrate the important control exerted by surface topography on the time evolution of saturated area patterns, mainly mediated by topographic curvature, that dictates both the dominant streamflow generation process at the local scale and the connection-disconnection dynamics of saturated areas. The relation between hillslope water storage and streamflow, Q = f(V), is shown to be highly hysteretical and dependent on the mean saturation of the catchment: higher degrees of saturation tend to yield one-to-one relationships between streamflow and water storage. On the contrary, streamflow-water storage relations are importantly affected by the specific configuration of saturated areas connected to the outlet when the system is far from complete saturation. This observation contradicts common assumptions of a one-to-one relationship Q = f(V) often used to justify widely observed power-law Q vs. dQ/dt recession curves. Furthermore, even when Q = f(V) becomes unique at high degrees of saturation, no power-law form emerged in our runs, speculatively because of the small size of the catchment formed by a single incision and the corresponding hillslope.
Water bottle assembly having gnaw protection shield

A shield or guard for preventing damage to an animal watering bottle by an animal within a cage comprises a generally planar web of metal or similarly hard material having length and width dimensions similar to the water bottle assembly being protected. A pair of tabs are formed at the upper edge of the web, and are angled downwardly to engage a lateral wire of the animal cage wall. A tube opening is provided in the web adjacent to the lower end thereof to permit the water delivery tube to extend from the bottle through the shield and through the cage wall. The water bottle is disposed to impinge on the outer surface of the web, with the delivery tube extending through the tube opening, and a wire bail is secured about the bottle and hooked to a lateral wire of the cage wall to support the bottle on the cage. To remove and service the water bottle, there is no need to remove the shield; rather, the wire bail is unhooked from the cage wall, and the bottle is removed by withdrawing the delivery tube from the tube opening in the shield. The bottle is replaced by inserting the delivery tube through the tube opening in the shield, abutting the bottle against the shield, and re-joining the bail about the bottle to the cage wall. The web of the shield blocks access by the animal to the soft plastic of the water bottle, and prevents damage to the bottle due to gnawing and chewing by the animal.
Antihyperalgesic and Antiedematous Activities of Bisabolol-Oxides-Rich Matricaria Oil in a Rat Model of Inflammation

From the dried flower heads of Matricaria recutita L., essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation, and in the obtained blue oil, α-bisabolol oxide A (21.5%), α-bisabolol oxide B (25.5%) and (Z)-spiroether (cis-en-yn-spiroether) (10.3%) were identified as the main compounds, by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry analyses. The antihyperalgesic effects of this oil were examined in a rat model of inflammation induced by carrageenan, through a modified 'paw-pressure' test. Antiedematous effects were examined in a rat model of inflammation induced by carrageenan, dextran and histamine, through plethysmometry. Matricaria oil (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o.) exhibited a significant dose-dependent reduction of hyperalgesia and edema induced by carrageenan in both prophylactic and therapeutic treatment schemes. It was more efficacious in the prophylactic treatment scheme, and the corresponding median effective dose (ED50 ) ± standard error of the mean (SEM) values were 49.8 ± 6.0 and 42.4 ± 0.2 mg/kg for antihyperalgesic and antiedematous effects, respectively. Prophylactic treatments with matricaria oil (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o.) caused a significant dose-dependent antiedematous effect in dextran-induced edema with lower efficacy than in the carrageenan model. In a dose of 100 mg/kg, p.o., matricaria oil caused a slight reduction of histamine-induced edema. These results suggest that bisabolol-oxide-rich matricaria oil may be effective against pain and edema present in various inflammatory conditions, which supports matricaria traditional uses.
Hard and soft colloids at fluid interfaces: Adsorption, interactions, assembly &amp; rheology

Soft microgel particles inherently possess qualities of both polymers as well as particles. We review the similarities and differences between soft microgel particles and stiff colloids at fluid-fluid interfaces. We compare two fundamental aspects of particle-laden interfaces namely the adsorption kinetics and the interactions between adsorbed particles. Although it is well established that the transport of both hard particles and microgels to the interface is driven by diffusion, the analysis of the adsorption kinetics needs reconsideration and a proper equation of state relating the surface pressure to the adsorbed mass should be used. We review the theoretical and experimental investigations into the interactions of particles at the interface. The rheology of the interfacial layers is intimately related to the interactions, and the differences between hard particles and microgels become pronounced. The assembly of particles into the layer is another distinguishing factor that separates hard particles from soft microgel particles. Microgels deform substantially upon adsorption and the stability of a microgel-stabilized emulsion depends on the conformational changes triggered by external stimuli.
Isn't It Ironic? The “Particular Plaintiffs” Provision of the PLRA

The “particular plaintiffs” provision of PLRA, 18 U.S.C. § 3626(a)(1), has had little success in restricting prisoners' access to class certification. Nonetheless, prisoners may now be largely unable to pursue class action litigation. In Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, the Supreme Court last year announced new restrictions on class certification that may make such litigation nearly unavailable in most civil rights cases, including those filed by prisoners. As a further irony, the Supreme Court's decision from the same term in Brown v. Plata demonstrates that the new standards announced in Dukes are unrelated to distinguishing cases in which class certification promotes judicial efficiency and fairness. This sequence of events underlines the importance of the federal courts' hostility to civil rights in exacerbating the effects of PLRA on prisoners' rights, and the Supreme Court's expression of that hostility through procedural decisions.
Fine-tuning π-spacer for high efficiency performance DSSC: A theoretical exploration with <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" altimg="si1.gif" overflow="scroll"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>D</mml:mi><mml:mo>−</mml:mo><mml:mi>π</mml:mi><mml:mo>−</mml:mo><mml:mi>A</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math> based organic dye

Abstract Based on density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches, a series of triphenylamine based organic dyes that modified by electron-withdrawing (EW) or electron-deficient (ED) substituent groups are investigated. The properties of all the isolated dyes, including frontier molecular orbital, intramolecular charge transfer, absorption spectra, maximal photon generated current ( J p h ) and intermolecular interaction between dye and I2 are investigated theoretically to confirm which dyes can produce great performance for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Subsequently, the structures of dye combined with (TiO2)64 cluster are optimized by means of Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) code. Then the interfacial interaction between the dye and semiconductor is further discussed to reveal the interfacial charge injection process by means of interfacial electron transfer code. The importance of fine-tuning π-spacer is also demonstrated by the density of state (DOS) plot and photo-induced charge transfer dynamics. Compared with other dyes, TA-CN dye shows outstanding performance because of the strong coupling of the absorbed dye's orbitals with substrate orbitals and the fast as well as complete charge injection process. The purpose of our study is expected to provide a promising way to design possible candidate sensitizers for DSSC.
Nada de bestias. Trabajo de toros en la arena camarguesa

En este trabajo nos proponemos abordar la corrida camarguesa (CC) a través del trabajo animal. Abordaremos la carrera del Toro Biòu de Oro. El objetivo principal de la raza es la Course, un deporte basado en la competición de velocidad y agilidad entre humanos (razeteurs) y toros en Camargue, al sur de Francia. Identificamos una carrera de hasta 12 años, donde crece un conocimiento en el cuerpo, su inteligencia gracias a la exposición repetida al razateur. Hemos encontrado dos estéticas del deporte que tienen su correlato en el trabajo ganadero, ambas se dirimen entre la fuerza y una sumisión activa, lo que crea condiciones de posibilidad para disminuir o aumentar la humanidad y animalidad. Los hallazgos se sostienen en datos relevados por la observación participante de diez courses camarguesas y el análisis de archivos audiovisuales privados, y 15 entrevistas semidirigidas a razeteurs y ganaderos durante 2021.
Management of envenomations during pregnancy

Envenomations during pregnancy pose all the problems of envenomation in the nonpregnant state with additional complexity related to maternal physiologic changes, medication use during pregnancy, and the well-being of the fetus.We review the obstetric literature and management options available to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality while limiting adverse obstetric outcomes after envenomation in pregnancy.In January 2012, we searched the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medline/PubMed, Toxline, Reprotox, Google Scholar and Micromedex databases, core surgery and internal medicine textbooks, and references of retrieved articles for the years 1966 through 2011. Search terms included "envenomation in pregnancy," "stings in pregnancy," "antivenom use in pregnancy," "anaphylaxis in pregnancy," and variants of these with known venomous animals. Reference lists generated further case reports and articles. We included English language articles and abstracts. Levels of Evidence (LOE) for the reports cited and Grades of Recommendations (GOR) based on LOE for our recommendations use the National Guidelines Clearinghouse metric of the US DHHS.Recommendations for the management of envenomation in pregnancy are guided primarily by studies on nonpregnant persons and case reports of pregnancy. Clinically significant envenomations in pregnancy are reported for snakes, spiders, scorpions, jellyfish, and hymenoptera (bees, wasps, hornets, and ants). Adverse obstetric outcomes including miscarriage, preterm birth, placental abruption, and stillbirth are associated with envenomation in pregnancy. The limited available literature suggests that adverse outcomes are primarily related to venom effects on the mother. Optimization of maternal health such as management of anaphylaxis and antivenom administration is likely the best approach to improve fetal outcomes despite potential risks to the fetus of medication administration during pregnancy. Obstetric evaluation and fetal monitoring are imperative in cases of severe envenomation.The medical literature regarding envenomation in pregnancy includes primarily retrospective reviews and case series. The limited available evidence suggests that optimal management includes a venom-specific approach, including supportive care, antivenom administration in appropriate cases, treatment of anaphylaxis if present, and fetal assessment. The current available evidence suggests that antivenom use is safe in pregnancy and that what is good for the mother is good for the fetus. Further research is needed to clarify the optimal management schema for envenomation in pregnancy.

Changing climate discourse and politics in India. Climate change as challenge and opportunity for diplomacy and development

Abstract This article contributes to the study of changing climate discourse and policy in emerging powers through a case study of climate discourse in India since 2007. Based on interviews with key actors in Indian climate politics and textual analysis, three general climate discourses – the Third World, Win–Win and Radical Green discourses – are identified. The discourses are characterised by different constructions of India’s identity, interests, climate change exposure and climate policy orientation. At the most general level, the article finds that there has been a general discursive shift from the Third World discourse to the Win–Win discourse, and that the latter discourse is in broad agreement with the dominant international climate change discourse of ecological modernisation and thus supports an alignment between Indian and international climate politics. We also find, however, that India’s domestic climate politics is marked by co-existence and tensions between the three climate discourses, producing a complex and at times contentious discursive politics over climate change, identity and development. The case study presented in this article moreover demonstrates how national interests are socially constructed and how changes in policy reflect changes in the dominant discourse.
Examine of Quality of Life of Elderly Indivudals Suffering Pain

This study aims to examine the quality of life of elderly individuals suffering pain.The study was carried out on 84 individuals over the age of 65 resident at a local authority administered nursing home in Izmir who were suffering pain at the time of the interview. The individuals' introduction form, made up of 12 questions, was used to identify the individuals' socio-demographic characteristics, and the McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire was used to assess the pain, and the WHOQOL-OLD (World health Organization Quality of Life Scale Older Adults Module) was applied.A significant relationship was found between the current pain severity and the quality of life scale's sensory capacity, today's activities and future activities, and relationship sub-fields and the total points (p<0.05).It was established, as well as the elderly individuals' socio-demographic characteristics, sub-sections such as the features, severity and time of pain also had an effect on the quality of life.
Renewables in a stable electric grid

Future energy systems will use renewable energy sources to minimise CO2 emissions.  Currently large generators powered by fossil fuel turbines maintain the stability and quality of energy supplies through their inertia.  The inertia of these generator-turbine groups gives providers a significant time window in which to react to network events.  We urgently need to find ways to stabilise energy systems with up to 100% RES (where inertia is often lost due to power converter mediated energy transfer) to generate “RE-SERVEs” so that society can relax in the knowledge that it has a stable and sustainable energy supply.  
RE-SERVE will address this challenge by researching new energy system concepts, implemented as new system support services enabling distributed, multi-level control of the energy system using pan-European unified network connection codes.  Near real-time control of the distributed energy network will be enabled by innovative 5G based ICT.  Energy system use case scenarios supplied by energy providers will form the basis of energy system models.  Performance characteristics of the new control mechanisms will be investigated through integration of energy simulations and live 5G communications.  We will create a pan-European multi-site simulation test-bed, bringing together the best facilities in Europe.
RE-SERVE results include published models of system support services, innovative architectures for the implementation of the services, performance tests on our pan-European real-time simulation, and live, test-beds, a model for pan-European unified network connection codes and actions to promote results to standardisation organisations, all of which maintain the RE-SERVE in energy systems. Commercialisation of results will result in breakthroughs in the efficient utilisation of use of RES, a spin-off and a wide range of enhanced professional solutions and services.

Monitoring multidimensional aspects of quality of life after cancer immunotherapy -  an open smart digital platform for personalized prevention and patient management

Cancer immunotherapy brought about significant progress in cancer treatment. It resulted in high efficacy in some cancers; e.g., up to 60% objective response rate in melanoma and 80% complete response rate in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Nevertheless, two main challenges still impede improving cancer patients’ health status and quality of life (QoL) after immunotherapy initiation: 1) a crucial need for “predictive markers” of occurrence of immunotherapy-related adverse events (IR-AEs) to predict and improve patients’ health status and promote their QoL; and, 2) the lack of knowledge on patients after start of immunotherapy outside randomised controlled trials. To reach these goals, significantly more diversified sources of data are required.
Project QUALITOP aims at developing a European immunotherapy-specific open Smart Digital Platform and using big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and simulation modelling approaches. This will enable collecting and aggregating efficiently real-world data to monitor health status and QoL of cancer patients given immunotherapy. Through causal inference analyses, QUALITOP will identify the determinants of health status regarding IR-AEs and define patient profiles in a real-world context. For this, heterogeneous data sources (big data), both retrospective and prospective --collected for QUALITOP from clinical centres in four EU countries—will integrate lifestyle, genetic, and psychosocial determinants of QoL. Using machine learning approaches, QUALITOP will provide ""real-time"" recommendations stemming from patient profiles and feedbacks via the Smart Digital Platform. Furthermore, an increased visibility on patients’ behaviour, a better IR-AEs prediction, and an improvement of care coordination will help analysing through simulation modelling approaches the gain in cost-effectiveness. Guidelines will be issued over the short and long-term.
A Study of Standing-Wave Thermoacoustic Refrigerator

Thermoacoustic refrigerator is a cooling device which uses the acoustic waves to produce the cooling effect. The aim of this paper is to explore the experimental and numerical feasibility of a standing-wave thermoacoustic refrigerator. The effects of the stack length, position of stack and operating frequency on the cooling performance are carried out. The circular pore stacks are tested under the atmospheric pressure. A low-cost loudspeaker is used as an acoustic driver. The results show that the location of stack installed in resonator tube has a greater effect on the cooling performance, than the stack length and operating frequency, respectively. The temperature difference across the ends of stack can be generated up to 13.7C, and the temperature of cold-end is dropped down by 5.3C from the ambient temperature. Keywords—Cooling performance, Refrigerator, Standing-wave, Thermoacoustics.
Cadet-Branch Matching in a Quasi-Linear Labor Market

Sonmez [2013] and Sonmez and Switzer [2013] used matching theory with unilaterally substitutable preferences [Hatfield and Kojima, 2010] to propose mechanisms to match cadets to military branches. Unilaterally substitutable priorities in general exhibit complementarities. In this paper, I construct the same mechanisms in matching markets with substitutable priorities. My results show that cadet-branch matching does not require weakened substitutes conditions. The cadet-branch matching market with substitutable branch priorities constructed in this paper can be often regarded as a labor market in the model of Kelso and Crawford [1982]. The length of a contract is interpreted as the inverse of a salary, and the branches' priorities can be taken to be quasi-linear. Therefore, the substitutable branch priorities are appealing from a theoretical perspective. My results complement the original constructions of the proposed cadet-branch matching mechanisms. Sonmez and Switzer [2013] showed that the currently-implemented USMA priority structure is compatible with fairness, strategy-proofness, and respect for improvements. My approach to the construction of the proposed mechanisms relies on deviation of the branch priorities from the exact currently-implemented priorities, but this modification does not affect the proposed matching mechanisms. Together, my results and those of Sonmez and Switzer [2013] show that cadet-branch matching can be performed in Kelso-Crawford economies so that the deferred acceptance mechanisms, but not the branch priorities in the economies, are consistent with the currently-implemented USMA priorities.
