Sulcia symbiont of the leafhopper Macrosteles laevis (Ribaut, 1927) (Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) harbors Arsenophonus bacteria

The leafhopper Macrosteles laevis, like other plant sap-feeding hemipterans, lives in obligate symbiotic association with microorganisms. The symbionts are harbored in the cytoplasm of large cells termed bacteriocytes, which are integrated into huge organs termed bacteriomes. Morphological and molecular investigations have revealed that in the bacteriomes of M. laevis, two types of bacteriocytes are present which are as follows: bacteriocytes with bacterium Sulcia and bacteriocytes with Nasuia symbiont. We observed that in bacteriocytes with Sulcia, some cells of this bacterium contain numerous cells of the bacterium Arsenophonus. All types of symbionts are transmitted transovarially between generations. In the mature female, the bacteria Nasuia, bacteria Sulcia, and Sulcia with Arsenophonus inside are released from the bacteriocytes and start to assemble around the terminal oocytes. Next, the bacteria enter the cytoplasm of follicular cells surrounding the posterior pole of the oocyte. After passing through the follicular cells, the symbionts enter the space between the oocyte and follicular epithelium, forming a characteristic "symbiont ball."
New approach to underwater technologies for innovative, low-cost ocean observation

NAUTILOS will fill in existing marine observation and modelling gaps through the development of a new generation of cost-effective sensors and samplers for physical (salinity, temperature), chemical (inorganic carbon, nutrients, oxygen), and biological (phytoplankton, zooplankton, marine mammals) essential ocean variables, in addition to micro-/nano-plastics, to improve our understanding of environmental change and anthropogenic impacts related to aquaculture, fisheries, and marine litter. Newly developed marine technologies will be integrated with different observing platforms and deployed through the use of novel approaches in a broad range of key environmental settings (e.g. from shore to deep-sea deployments) and EU policy-relevant applications:
- Fisheries & Aquaculture Observing Systems,
- Platforms of Opportunity demonstrations,
- Augmented Observing Systems demonstration,
- Demonstrations on ARGO Platform,
- Animal-borne Instruments.
The fundamental aim of the project will be to complement and expand current European observation tools and services, to obtain a collection of data at a much higher spatial resolution and temporal regularity and length than currently available at the European scale, and to further enable and democratise the monitoring of the marine environment to both traditional and non-traditional data users. The principles that underlie the NAUTILOS project will be those of the development, integration, validation and demonstration of new cutting-edge technologies with regards to sensors, interoperability and embedding skills. The development will always be guided by the objectives of scalability, modularity, cost-effectiveness and open-source availability of software and data products produced. NAUTILOS will also provide full and open data feed towards well-established portals and data integrators (EMODnet, CMEMS, JERICO).
Systems and methods for dynamic power routing with behind-the-meter energy storage

A system includes a flexible datacenter and an energy storage unit that receives and stores power from one or more grid-scale power generation units. The energy storage unit and the flexible datacenter are connected behind-the-meter to the power generation unit(s) such that they are not typically subject to grid transmission and distribution fees. By various methods, behind-the-meter power is routed between the power generation unit(s), the energy storage unit, the flexible datacenter, and/or the grid based on a variety of conditions and operational directives.
The Measurement Study on the Inflation during the War of Resistance

Put the Anti-Japanese War over the amount of currency issue as the explanatory variable and the price index as the dependent variable,then make the regression analysis between them.The analysis result shows that the correlation coefficient between the explanatory variable of the currency issue and the dependent variable of the price index is 1.4127,that is wich each 1% increase of monetary circulation,the price index will rise 1.4127%,which indicates that inflation is the most important factor to the monetary factors.But the national government mainly take the material balance of supply and demand to control inflation,instead of the strict control of currency issue to control price,and the serious misconduct measures are the main reason of causing prices fast rising.
Phase transitions in TlH2PO4and TlD2PO4crystals: lattice dynamical treatment

Lattice dynamics simulation of TlH(2)PO(4) and TlD(2)PO(4) crystals was performed within the semi-phenomenological atomistic model in the high temperature P2(1)/b2/c2(1)/n structural phase. Combining the results of phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg theory and lattice dynamics simulation, it was shown that the ferroelastic phase transition in TlH(2)PO(4) occurs due to the bilinear interaction between the soft B(3g) optic and B(1u) acoustic modes. According to our simulation, the hydrogen H(1) atoms placed on the shorter hydrogen bonds play the key role in the ferroelastic phase transition in TlH(2)PO(4), whereas the D(2) atoms located on the longer hydrogen bonds exert the main effect on the antiferroelectric phase transition in TlD(2)PO(4) crystal.
Attention-Deficit and Hyperactivity among School-Age United Arab Emirates Children.

The prevalence of ADHD was studied among 200 UAE school-age children. Variables that distinguish ADHD and non-ADHD children were examined, including child characteristics, parents’ sociodemographics, socioeconomic status, family environment, and parental style of influence. Results indicated that 12.5 % of the children had ADHD symptomatology, and that the prevalence ratio varied across the three ADHD subtypes, with the following rates; 1.5 % for the combined type, 7.5 % for the inattentive type, and 3.5 % for the hyperactive-impulsive type. The results of the logistic regressions indicated that ADHD inattentive type was positively associated with gender, and harsh discipline. Children with ADHD inattentive type were predominately males and were more likely to experience harsh disciplining compared to children without ADHD. On the other hand, none of the child characteristics, parent’s sociodemographics, family environment and parenting were significant predictors of ADHD hyperactivity-impulsivity type. The clinical and policy implications of the findings are discussed.
The efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab for idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy

To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab injection in the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).In a prospective interventional case series, 40 eyes of 40 patients with idiopathic CSC at least 3 months in duration were included. Patients were treated with once or twice intravitreal bevacizumab injections initially and completed at least 12 months follow-up. Main outcomes measures were the resolution of neurosensory detachment, best-corrected visual acuity, and findings on fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography.Thirty-three of 40 eyes (82.5%) showed complete absence of subretinal fluid at the macula within 3 months following initial intravitreal bevacizumab injection. Eyes exhibiting resolution of subretinal fluid revealed improvement in fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographic findings. The rate of intense hyperfluorescence on indocyanine green angiography was higher in eyes exhibiting resolution of subretinal fluid than eyes exhibiting incomplete absorption of subretinal fluid after intravitreal bevacizumab (72.7 and 28.5%, respectively, p = 0.039).Intravitreal bevacizumab injections generally resulted in anatomic improvement for CSC and may constitute a therapeutic option in CSC. The effect after intravitreal bevacizumab injection for CSC might be related to the hyperfluorescence on indocyanine green angiography.

Spinning-reel reciprocating mechanism

Reciprocating mechanism for a spinning-reel, which reciprocates the spool in response to rotation of the rotor, has a worm, a slider, an intermediate gear, a first guide shaft, and a second guide shaft. Crisscrossing helical grooves are formed in the outer circumference of worm, which is rotatively supported by the reel unit. Slider, which is coupled to the spool, has an engagement pin that engages helical grooves, and a slider body that has a mounting hole that pivotably supports engagement pin such that engagement pin engages helical grooves from radial outside of worm. Intermediate gear transmits rotation of rotor to worm. First and second guide shafts guide slider in the direction of spool shaft. First guide shaft is disposed on a side of engagement member opposite the side closer to worm. With the present invention, it is possible to reduce the size of reciprocating mechanism.
Optical control of collision dynamics in a metastable neon magneto-optical trap

We present results for controlled optical collisions of cold, metastable Ne atoms in a magneto-optical trap. The modification of the ionizing collision rate is demonstrated using a control laser tuned close to the (3s)3P2 to (3p)3D3 cooling transition. The measured ionization spectrum does not contain resonances due to the formation of photoassociated molecules connected to the Ω = 5 excited state potential as predicted by Doery et al (1998 Phys. Rev. A 57 3603–20). Instead, we observe a broad unresolvable ionization spectrum that is well described by established theory (Gallagher and Pritchard 1989 Phys. Rev. Lett. 63 957). In order to induce collisions between pairs of trapped metastables, a control laser is tuned to the red of the transition where we measure a factor of 4 increase in the rate for ionizing collisions. We also investigate the effect of optical shielding by tuning the laser to the blue of the transition and observe a factor of 5 suppression in the ionization rate.

A power function profile of a ski jumping in-run hill.

The aim of the research was to find a function of the curvilinear segment profile which could make possible to avoid an instantaneous increasing of a curvature and to replace a circle arc segment on the in-run of a ski jump without any correction of the angles of inclination and the length of the straight-line segments. The methods of analytical geometry and trigonometry were used to calculate an optimal in-run hill profile. There were two fundamental conditions of the model: smooth borders between a curvilinear segment and straight-line segments of an in-run hill and concave of the curvilinear segment. Within the framework of this model, the problem has been solved with a reasonable precision. Four functions of a curvilinear segment profile of the in-run hill were investigated: circle arc, inclined quadratic parabola, inclined cubic parabola, and power function. The application of a power function to the in-run profile satisfies equal conditions for replacing a circle arc segment. Geometrical parameters of 38 modern ski jumps were investigated using the methods proposed.
Audiological Results and Quality of Life of Sophono Alpha 2 Transcutaneous Bone-Anchored Implant Users in Single-Sided Deafness

Single-sided deafness (SSD) represents one of the most difficult audiological conditions to rehabilitate. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the audiological benefits and quality of life of patients affected by SSD who had previously been users of the Alpha 1® when upgrading them to the Sophono Alpha 2® external processor (Boulder, Colo., USA). Nine patients were included in the study. They underwent physical examination, free-field speech audiometry at 40 and 60 dB, a hearing-in-noise test (Hirsch's test and the squelch test), the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) questionnaire, and a specific questionnaire on patient satisfaction with Alpha 1. Afterwards, the Alpha 2 external processor was delivered to all patients, and the above-mentioned protocol was repeated after 1 month with the Alpha 2. A statistically significant improvement was found in the speech discrimination score at 40 dB and in the squelch test when using the Alpha 2 external processor compared to the Alpha 1. Alpha 2 had a good clinical tolerance and gave similar results in the specific questionnaire and the GBI to Alpha 1. In conclusion, the new Alpha 2 external processor represents a safe and effective device for the rehabilitation of SSD, and there is an audiological benefit to upgrading to the Alpha 2 external processor for patients who had previously been users of the Alpha 1. The improvement in quality of life is similar to that with other bone-anchored hearing devices.
Comparative efficacy of mitigation techniques for the detoxification of Prunus persica (L.) from selected pesticide residues

Fruits are the valuable and important components of human diet. Among them, Prunus persica is a rich source of different minerals and dietary fibers. In Pakistan, the total annual production of P. persica is approximately 837,000 tons. In order to enhance agricultural yield and quality, the plant protection agents are employed during fruit production. Ultimately, this in turn leads to the incorporation of pesticide residues in fruits. In present study, an effort has been made for the determination of three selected pesticide residues, i.e., chlorpyrifos (CPF), difenoconazole (DFN), and carbendazim (CRB) in samples of P. persica collected from Swat territory. Samples were analyzed through high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results revealed the occurrence of all three pesticides in studied samples; however, levels of CPF and DFN were found to be higher than MRLs. Moreover, the effects of different mitigation techniques revealed that highest reduction of CPF, DFN, and CRB (86%, 97%, 89%) residues was obtained by treatment with 10% CH3COOH followed by 10% NaCl (74%, 78%, 84%). The lowest reduction was obtained by treatment with 10% solution of NaOH (52%, 55%, 63%).

Evaluation of tidal stream resource in a potential array area via direct measurements

ADCP transects have used to characterise tidal stream resources in the Ramsey Sound area of Pembrokeshire, UK. Previous resource assessments have previously suggested that this area is one of the most promising for tidal stream deployments in the UK and this contribution confirms the commercial viability of the area. In this study three channels were considered: Ramsey Sound itself and two channels to the west formed by small offshore islands. Current velocities were used to compute the tidal energy flux through the channels. Maximum instantaneous peak flux through the three channels ranges from 180 MW to 70 MW. Flux cross-sections are presented and the impact of meso-scale bathymetric features on flux and on the cross-transect variation of maximum flux over the tidal cycle is described and discussed. Theoretical values of extractable power potential are calculated and range between 7.2 MW and 21.8 MW. These values are approximately ¼ of the average flux through the measured cross-section. One channel is identified as being preferable for the first stage of array deployments given greatest homogeneity of flux through the channel cross-section and it having the highest power potential.

Chinese Singaporeans’ lay beliefs, adherence to Asian values, and subjective well-being

Abstract This study examined the relationships among Chinese Singaporeans’ lay beliefs about subjective well-being, adherence to Asian values (as measured by the Asian American Values Scale), and self-reported subjective well-being (as measured by the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short Form). Participants were 210 undergraduate students of Chinese descent (mean age = 21.01 years) in a Singaporean university. Participants provided responses to an open-ended question about what it means to be happy. Participants’ responses were coded according to whether they endorsed positivity beliefs and dialectical beliefs about happiness. Positivity beliefs were positively related to life satisfaction, but only among those with low adherence to Asian values. Among participants who strongly adhered to Asian values, positivity beliefs were not significantly related to life satisfaction. Beliefs about happiness were not related to negative affect. However, participants who endorsed dialectical beliefs reported less positive affect.
Free respiratory evaluation and smoke-exposure reductionby primary health care integrated groups

FRESH AIR is a 3 year project which addresses the urgent need to prevent, diagnose and treat lung diseases in LMICs and other low-resource settings where the greatest burden of disease is experienced. Our Consortium brings together leading international respiratory researchers, clinicians and policy experts from EU member states and the US who have expertise and experience of the challenges of implementation in LMICs and healthcare providers, policy makers and implementers from four countries that represent very different low-resource settings.  

Members will work together to adapt and test innovation and evidence-based practice in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of lung disease in four low-resource settings in Uganda, Kyrgyz Republic, Vietnam and Greece with high levels of tobacco consumption and exposure to Household Air Pollution (HAP). In so doing, the Consortium will transfer skills and technology from EU member states and the US to new contexts and explore a range of implementation science research questions. The new knowledge this generates will be widely disseminated nationally, regionally and internationally, ensuring the scale-up of interventions tested by the project and global impact of research findings.  The project will also provide new perspectives on policy issues of concern to EU members, increase the international profile of EU funded research on key health challenges and open up markets for healthcare innovations. 

The project has 7 specific objectives focused on the following:

1. Identifying factors influencing the implementation of evidenced-based interventions
2. Exploring which awareness-raising approaches are most effective in achieving behaviour change
3. Adapting interventions that provide smoking cessation support
4. Testing innovative diagnostic methods for COPD
5. Promoting pulmonary rehabilitation as a low cost treatment
6. Reducing children’s risk of lung damage
7. Generating new knowledge, innovation and scalable models.
