Some observations on rice straw with emphasis on updates of its management.

Rice is the world's second largest cereal crop after wheat, however, it produces large amounts of crop residues. Only about 20% of rice straw was used for purposes such as ethanol, paper, fertilizers and fodders and the remaining amount is either removed from the field, in situ burned, piled or spread in the field, incorporated in the soil, or used as mulch for the following crop. Burning causes air pollution called the Black Cloud and loss of nutrients depending on the method used to burn the straw. Rice straw is unique relative to other cereal straws in being high in silica and lignin with low digestibility and protein content. Rice straw in developing countries is used as a main feed for ruminants. Enhancement of the nutritive value of rice straw with physical, chemical or biological treatments has been the focus of recent research work. Physical treatments such as crushing are related to breaking the silicified encrusting layer of straws. Chemical treatment of straw with alkalis such as ammonia and sodium hydroxide, has been commonly used for improving both apparent digestibility, bacterial colonization on cellulose and voluntary intake of straws. Fiber explosion (FIBEX) and soaking straws in wood ash extract processes showed significant increase in vivo digestibility. Supplementation with oilseed meal/cakes or rapeseed meal (RSM) and mulberry leaves as protein supplements was found to improve animal performance. Certainly, treatments using fungi and their enzymes for improving the quality of rice straw are relatively scarce. These techniques should be further developed. It was concluded that although several treatments have been used to improve the degradability and voluntary intake of rice straw, such as physical or chemical treatments, the practical use of these treatments is still restricted in terms of safety concerns, costs and potentially negative environmental consequences. Moreover, the application of ligninolytic fungi or their enzymes combined with chemical pre-treatments to rice straw may be an alternative way to shorten the period of the incubation and or decrease the amount of chemicals, affecting some synergy.
Observation of Microstructural Deformation Behavior in Metals Caused by Cavitation Impact

To clarify the erosion mechanism of cavitation, we pay attention to the internal changes in grains caused by cavitation impact. The vibratory cavitation test based on ASTM G32 was carried out and the cross section of directly under the eroded surface of a specimen was observed using the electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique. The situations of grain boundaries and the changes in the crystal orientations of grains in aluminum, copper, and steel were analyzed. As a result, the following observations were made. Cavitation impact causes grain refining of sub-micrometer order near the eroded surface. There exist small changes in crystal orientation in grains. In steel, grain boundaries were generated on the eroded surface and were growing inward in the grain. Finally, the mechanism of internal deformation of grains caused by cavitation impact was discussed.
A Synthesis of the Literature on Trauma-Informed Care

Patients with a history of traumatic life events can become distressed or re-traumatized as the result of healthcare experiences. These patients can benefit from trauma-informed care that is sensitive to their unique needs. However, despite the widespread prevalence of traumatic life experiences such as sexual assault and intimate partner violence, trauma-informed care has not been widely researched or implemented. The purpose of this synthesis of the literature is to examine existing research on trauma-informed care for survivors of physical and sexual abuse. The following themes are discussed: trauma screening and patient disclosure, provider-patient relationships, minimizing distress and maximizing autonomy, multidisciplinary collaboration and referrals, and trauma-informed care in diverse settings. This synthesis also explores implications for trauma-informed care research, practice and policy. The themes identified here could be used as a framework for creating provider and survivor educational interventions and for implementing trauma-informed care across disciplines. The findings of this synthesis support further research on patient and provider experiences of trauma-informed care, and research to test the efficacy of trauma-informed care interventions across healthcare settings. Universal implementation of trauma-informed care can ensure that the unique needs of trauma survivors as patients are met, and mitigate barriers to care and health disparities experienced by this vulnerable population.
Gestures in nonhuman and human primates, a landmark of language in the brain? searching for the origins of brain specialization for language

Most of language functions are under the left brain control in both left- and right-handers and involve structural asymmetries between the two hemispheres. While this asymmetry was considered as associated with handedness, such a relation has been recently questioned. Considering the strong language/gesture links in humans and the continuities between the gestural system in apes and monkeys and some language properties, we recently suggested the hypothesis of a continuity between language lateralization and asymmetry of communicative gestures in both human and nonhuman primates. Given the phylogenetical proximity between those species, comparative research on brain specialization between a non-linguistic gestural system (i.e., in monkeys) versus a linguistic gestural systems in humans (i.e., sign language in deaf) might help evaluating the gestural continuities with language lateralization in term of manual asymmetries, structural and functional lateralization of the brain. 
To this purpose, a first objective is to evaluate the continuities of manual and brain asymmetries between (1) a linguistic gestural system in humans using MRI in 100 adult native deaf French signers, and (2) a non-linguistic gestural system of adult baboons Papio anubis using 106 MRI brain images.
A second objective is to explore the functional brain lateralization of gestures production in baboons (versus manipulation) using non-invasive wireless Infrared Spectroscopy in 8 trained subjects within interactions with humans.
A last innovative objective is to investigate, through the first non-invasive longitudinal MRI study conducted from birth to sexual maturity in primates, the development and heritability of brain structural asymmetries and their correlates with gesture asymmetries in 30 baboons.
At both evolutionary and developmental levels, the project will thus ultimately contribute to enhance our understanding on the role of gestures in the origins of brain specialization for language.
Exclusive breastfeeding practice in Indonesia

This grounded theory study aimed to explore the cultural practices and behaviours, which lead to unsuccessful exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesian mothers. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews carried out with 8 key participants (breastfeeding mothers) and 10 general participants (family members and health cadre). Four categories: the initial breastfeeding practice following delivery, the decision making surrounding the efforts to maintain breastfeeding, when to wean the baby onto other types of milk or food, and the consequences of weaning the baby, and two corresponding subcategories: external and internal factors that influence the decision making to wean the baby emerged from comparative analysis. Results from this study confirmed that women believed that they produced insufficient breast milk, which led them to wean their babies before the reccomended age of 6 months. This belief arose from a complex process and was strongly affected by various biopsychosocial factors. The results o...
Effect of the substrate morphology on the adsorption of Ru-bipyridyl sensitizers on anatase TiO2

The effects of the morphology of anatase TiO 2 substrates on the adsorption nature of Ru-bipyridyl complexes with carboxylate groups as anchoring moieties have been investigated with infrared absorption spectroscopy and electron microscopy. The investigated dyes were the recently synthesized [Ru(dc-bpyH 2 ) 2 (bpy-TPA 2 )](PF 6 ) 2 , Ru-TPA 2 , and the well-known (Bu 4 N) 2 [Ru(dcbpyH) 2 (NCS) 2 ], N719, complexes. As substrates, TiO 2 paste films and pristine anatase nanopowder were used. Scanning electron microscopy images show big differences in the grain size, shape, and dispersity of the titania nanoparticles. The attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectra suggest that the coordination of both complexes on the TiO 2 paste films occurs via bidentate or bridging linkage. The adsorption of the dyes on pristine anatase nanopowder appears to be via bridging or bidentate chelate linkage for the dye N719 as well, however, the Ru-TPA 2 complex appears to bind via unidentate or ester-like linkage or by direct physisorpion via H-bonding.
Effects of particle size and moisture on the compressive behavior of dense Eglin sand under confinement at high strain rates

Abstract The dynamic compressive behavior of sorted and unsorted Eglin sand (Quikrete #1961 sand quarried in Pensacola, FL) under confinement was characterized under dry or moisture conditions at strain rates near 600 s−1 using a long split Hopkinson pressure bar, respectively. The as-received unsorted sand was sorted into grain sizes of 0.60 mm, 0.50 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.30 mm, 0.212 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.106 mm and 0.053 mm. For preparation of a partially saturated sand specimen sealed in a sand specimen assembly, water was introduced to reach moisture contents of 0%, 4.2%, 8.2%, 12.4%, 14.4% and 16.5%. A sand specimen assembly was used, and sand grains were confined inside a hollow cylinder of hardened steel and capped by cemented tungsten carbide rods. The assembly was subjected to repeat manual shaking and tapping to consolidate the sand to attain a given mass density; it was then sandwiched between incident and transmission bars for compression under a high strain rate. The volumetric and deviatoric behavior of dense Eglin sand was investigated on eight sorted sand specimens and at six moisture contents. After impact, the sand was analyzed to determine the particle size distribution, which was found to follow Weibull distribution rather than Gaussian distribution. The breakage factor was found to follow a linear relationship with moisture content. The effect of initial particle size and moisture on the volumetric and deviatoric behavior of sand was discussed. The compressibility was characterized in terms of void ratio as a function of axial pressure. The specific energy absorption and shear stress–hydrostatic pressure ationships were determined for different grain sizes and moisture contents.

TAMPER-PROOF AND REUSABLE HIGH SECURITY SEAL

High security seal that can be reused an indefinite number of times because the authenticating part evolves in a chaotic manner each time the seal is opened and then put back into service. This seal is composed of at least two authenticators (1) and (2) at least one of which is movable with respect to the other into the open position. These two authenticators become fixed and stable in the closed position. In each new fixed position, the two authenticators cooperate to generate a new authenticating feature that is stored in a database in order to be compared during a check. This feature will be cancelled and replaced with another one when said seal is fraudulently or deliberately opened and thus will provide proof that it has been opened.
Inclisafe blackbox

The purpose of the present proposal is the launching to the market of an innovative product called INCLISAFE BLACKBOX, which will be oriented to protection and safety of drivers of vehicles (firefighting trucks, tractors, logistics vehicles). Currently, there are lots of truck and tractor accidents (rollovers) due to the lack of stability of the vehicle in dynamic mode.  At present, apart from DTA first generation of INCLISAFE products (IS1 and VEXT), there are not solutions that measure the stability of a truck in a dynamic mode. Current commercial products are basically inclinometers (that measures potential rollovers but only have reliability in static mode because it doesn´t take into account parameters such as momentum of inertia that has a great impact in dynamic mode) or accelerometers (that don´t take into account parameters such as angular velocity or momentum of inertia that impact in vehicle stability). INCLISAFE BLACKBOX will allow preventive detection, tilt warning and also will have data logging capabilities, making INCLISAFE BLACKBOX an EDR (Event Data Recorder), which will have superior characteristic that currently INCLISAFE line of products (IS1 and VEXT). INCLISAFE BLACKBOX has also advantages such as cost reductions (less accident mean less repairing’s). This proposal is key to DTA, as safe and smart solutions is the Core Business for the Company, after successfully developed a product with prove the main algorithms but have a lot of features missing and requested by the customers.
Negative pressure pulmonary edema after nasal fracture reduction in an obese female patient: a case report

Postoperative negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare, but well-known life-threatening complication of acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) which develops after general anesthesia. The pronounced inspiratory efforts following UAO lead to excessive negative inspiratory pressure, which may cause acute pulmonary edema. Early recognition and prompt treatment of NPPE is necessary to prevent patient morbidity and mortality. In addition, the physician should carefully manage the patient who has risk factors of UAO to prevent this situation. We experienced a case of NPPE following laryngospasm after tracheal extubation in an obese patient who underwent open reduction of orbital wall and nasal bone surgery.
Developing plasma-assisted ammonia technology for decarbonisation of power production

This proposal aims to benefit from the low-cost storage of liquid ammonia as a carbon-free hydrogen alternative energy resource and mitigate associated issues to its utilisation to replace hydrocarbon fuels in existing gas turbine engines (GTEs) for power production. It is built up ongoing projects at the Gas Turbine Research Centre (GTRC), where currently ammonia flames are investigated, experimentally. Two challenging aims have been identified: (i) to enhance the reactivity of ammonia/air mixtures and improve the fundamental combustion characteristics of ammonia for use in GTEs; (ii) to optimise the existing burner for operating with pure ammonia while maintaining high fuel efficiency and low combustion emissions. The novelty of the current project relies on the fundamental study of plasma-assisted combustion to improve the reactivity of ammonia rather than currently used approaches by blending of the ammonia molecule with more reactive fuels (i.e. hydrocarbons, hydrogen, etc.).  The concept will ensure faster ammonia/air reactivity by modifying the kinetics of oxidation based on the concept of plasma-assisted combustion, avoiding the blending of the ammonia molecule with more reactive fuels (i.e. hydrocarbons, hydrogen, etc.). The project includes both detailed physical experimentation using an state-of-the-art optical combustion diagnostic facility at GTRC, as well as detailed multi-scale numerical simulations, covering all scales of the underlying processes from atomic and molecular levels, to the smallest scales of turbulent fluctuations to the actual burner size. Timeliness of the project is ideal to support the use of ammonia as fuel in power applications, marine engines, and heavy load transportation systems. Its success contributes to the decarbonisation of the power generation sector, whilst delivering a unique technology, without precedent, for power and transportation purposes.
Changes in Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients Treated With Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel

Inflammation is a key factor in the development of atherosclerotic disease and acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The P2Y(12) receptor antagonists ticagrelor (AZD6140) and clopidogrel may have anti-inflammatory effects. The objective of this analysis from the Dose Confirmation Study Assessing Anti-Platelet Effects of AZD6140 vs Clopidogrel in NSTEMI 2 (DISPERSE 2) trial was to compare ticagrelor and clopidogrel for effects on the inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L).Ticagrelor inhibits the P2Y(12) receptor and inflammation to a greater extent than clopidogrel in nonST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) patients.In a double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter trial, 990 patients who had been hospitalized within the previous 48 hours with NSTE-ACS were randomized to receive ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily, ticagrelor 180 mg twice daily, or clopidogrel 300 mg initially and then 75 mg once daily. Within the ticagrelor groups, patients were also randomized to receive or not receive a loading dose of ticagrelor 270 mg initially. All patients received standard treatment for ACS, which included 325 mg aspirin initially and 75 to 100 mg aspirin each day subsequently. Inflammatory biomarkers were measured at baseline, upon hospital discharge, and after 4 weeks.Inflammatory biomarker measurements were not significantly different among treatment groups at baseline, discharge, and 4 weeks.Ticagrelor and clopidogrel appeared not to differ in this study with respect to the inflammatory biomarkers CRP, IL-6, MPO, and sCD40L in patients with NSTE-ACS.
Role of extracellular mirnas in t cell development, th2 cell differentiation and th2 cell-mediated effector function

It is estimated that more than 200 million Europeans suffer from at least one type of allergy. This condition is elicited by an hyper-activated type-2 inflammatory response coordinated by T helper (TH)-2 cells. In spite a good insight into the molecular mechanisms that triggers TH2 cells activation, the lack in understanding their post-transcriptional regulation is hampering the access to new potential therapeutic targets to curtail the allergy epidemic.
Micro-RNA (miRNAs) are regulatory molecules essential for life, which play a fundamental role in shaping cellular functions via post-transcriptional repression of the cellular transcriptome. Though previously considered to operate exclusively inside the parent cell, it is now acknowledged that miRNAs can exit cellular boundaries and control transcription in bystander cells. We recently reported that regulatory T (TREG) cells secret specific miRNAs to repress TH1 cell-mediated immunopathology, and ameliorate a mouse model of autoimmune disease.
In this proposal, we will address the role of extracellular miRNAs for the normal T cell development and during allergic inflammation of the airways. To this end, we produced a novel animal model that allows - for the first time - to selectively ablate the activity of extracellular miRNAs in T cells. We will use biochemical, RNA-sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify the molecular mechanisms for miRNAs sorting to exocytosis and to identify the miRNAs transferred to and from TH2 cells. This proposal will significantly expand our understanding of transferred miRNAs in the contest of health and disease, and will uncover novel cellular pathways to exploit as therapeutic targets.
Robust Solutions of Optimization Problems Affected by Uncertain Probabilities

In this paper we focus on robust linear optimization problems with uncertainty regions defined by ϕ-divergences (for example, chi-squared, Hellinger, Kullback–Leibler). We show how uncertainty regions based on ϕ-divergences arise in a natural way as confidence sets if the uncertain parameters contain elements of a probability vector. Such problems frequently occur in, for example, optimization problems in inventory control or finance that involve terms containing moments of random variables, expected utility, etc. We show that the robust counterpart of a linear optimization problem with ϕ-divergence uncertainty is tractable for most of the choices of ϕ typically considered in the literature. We extend the results to problems that are nonlinear in the optimization variables. Several applications, including an asset pricing example and a numerical multi-item newsvendor example, illustrate the relevance of the proposed approach. This paper was accepted by Gérard P. Cachon, optimization.
Prospective strict no-arbitrage and the fundamental theorem of asset pricing under transaction costs

In discrete time markets with proportional transaction costs, Schachermayer (2004) shows that robust no-arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a strictly consistent price system. In this paper, we introduce the concept of prospective strict no-arbitrage that is a variant of the strict no-arbitrage property from Kabanov, R\'asonyi, and Stricker (2002). The prospective strict no-arbitrage condition is slightly weaker than robust no-arbitrage, and it implies that the set of portfolios attainable from zero initial endowment is closed in probability. A weak version of prospective strict no-arbitrage turns out to be equivalent to the existence of a consistent price system. In contrast to the fundamental theorem of asset pricing of Schachermayer (2004), the consistent frictionless prices may lie on the boundary of the bid-ask spread. On the technical level, a crucial difference to Schachermayer (2004) and Kabanov-R\'asonyi-Stricker (2003) is that we prove closedness without having at hand that the null-strategies form a linear space.
Beta-blocker administration protocol for prospectively ECGtriggered coronary CT angiography

The aim of this article is to discuss the protocol of beta-blockers that is commonly used for prospectively ECG-triggered coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). It is essential to ensure a low and regular heart rate in patients undergoing prospectively ECG-triggered CCTA for optimal visualization of coronary arteries. Although early generations of computed tomographyscanners are not applicable to be tailored according to patients' heart rate, a low and regular heart rate is possible to be achieved by the administration of medications according to the beta-blocker protocol. Beta-blocker can be safely administered to reduce patients' heart rate for CCTA examination if patients are screened for certain contraindications.
