Authors: Page-Weir N.E.M. , Jamieson L.E. , Chhagan A. , Connolly P.G. , Curtis C.
Published: October 2019

Adult and nymphal life stages of the tomato/potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli; TPP) cause damage to the host plants and transmit the bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum This leads to reduced crop yield and ultimately the premature decline and death of the infected plant The efficacy of 11 insecticides was tested against nymphal and adult stages of TPP Residues of abamectin oil and bifenthrin were the most effective at reducing adult TPP up to 3 days after treatment while thiacloprid spiromesifen imidacloprid spinetoram and azadirachtin were slightly toxic Residues of buprofezin oil pyrethrin oil and mineral oil had no effect on adult mortality Nymphal life stages were best controlled with abamectin oil spirotetramat bifenthrin and spiromesifen

Authors: Mundy D.C. , Haycock S.R. , McLachlan A.R.G. , Wood P.N. , Raw V.
Published: October 2019

Botrytis bunch rot is a disease that requires management under New Zealand conditions in order to prevent financial losses for wine grape producers A survey was conducted to investigate the potential spore production of tendrils in 16 vineyards from the Marlborough and Hawkes Bay wine growing regions Significant differences in spore production potential of tendrils were detected between sampling before flowering and after fruit set Significant regional differences were also detected with tendrils from Marlborough producing fewer spores Under ideal laboratory conditions for incubation of the fungus spore production by tendrils was low at the start of the season and was reduced further following application of the industry standard fungicide programme Based on these experiments and a review of other data it is recommended that tendril removal is not required at pruning as part of vineyard disease management

Published: October 2019

Yersinia entomophaga MH96 (Ye MH96) has shown activity against the pasture pest porina (Wiseana spp larvae) in laboratory bioassays In this field trial Ye MH96 was applied to pasture as three separate formulations The presence of viable Ye MH96 was detected in soil for 112 days following application but the number of bacteria decreased rapidly following heavy rainfall 4 days after treatment Porina numbers were reduced by all formulations of Ye MH96 at 5 and 17 weeks (3440 and 6172) and by fenitrothion an insecticide used to control porina (93 and 96 respectively) Other nontarget Lepidoptera were also reduced by Ye MH96 No effects of Ye MH96 were observed on the earthworms Aporrectodea caliginosa and Lumbricus rubellus the pasture pest Listronotus bonariensis or pasture inhabiting Staphylinidae The survival of Ye MH96 for long enough to affect the target insect despite the heavy rain suggests that a microbial alternative to conventional insecticide management of porina may be possible
Sensitivity of Venturia inaequalis to myclobutanil penconazole and dodine in relation to fungicide use in Hawkes Bay apple orchards
Authors: Beresford R.M. , Wright P.J. , Wood P.N. , Park N.M.
Published: October 2019

A survey of Integrated Fruit Production and organic apple orchards in Hawkes Bay in 201011 investigated sensitivity of Venturia inaequalis isolates to demethylation inhibitor (DMI) and dodine fungicides EC50 values from mycelial growth assays for two DMIs showed continued loss of sensitivity since the 1990s Sensitivity was lower in orchards where DMI usage exceeded resistance management guidelines The most DMIsensitive isolates were found in one organic orchard Plant inoculations showed that black spot control of myclobutanilresistant V inaequalis strains by one application of myclobutanil was only 55 compared with 99 for myclobutanilsensitive strains The study suggests that resistance to DMI fungicides has continued to develop that loss of black spot control could be expected in some orchards and that DMI resistance management guidelines need reviewing There was high sensitivity to dodine in all orchards (mean EC50 of 024 mg/litre) and no evidence of increased resistance since the 1990s
Assessing damage by manuka beetles (Pyronota spp) in flipped West Coast pastures
Authors: Dunbar J.E. , Hateley P.W. , Townsend R.J. , Zydenbos S.M. , Jackson T.A.
Published: October 2019

Manuka beetles (Pyronota festiva and P setosa) have become a major problem in dairy pastures developed on flipped soils on the South Islands West Coast The beetles rapidly invaded these new pastures and signs of damage appeared within 13 seasons Damage is caused by beetle larvae feeding on the roots of grasses and clovers creating damage patches of dead and dying plants A visual damage scale has been prepared to assist farmers to grade damage and provide a basis to make control decisions Damage rankings were estimated by assessing both the proportion of the paddock with obvious damage patches and the overall vigour of the pasture Increasing damage severity was shown to be strongly correlated with numbers of beetle larvae in the soil Pastures invaded by manuka beetles had lower autumn production and if untreated overall pasture production declined to very low levels within 23 seasons due to poor pasture composition and low pasture covers It is estimated that milk yields on affected farms have been depressed by 30 where no controls have been implemented It is recommended that pastures with high damage gradings should either be treated with insecticide or renewed

Dispersal of the Scotch broom gall mite Aceria genistae implications for biocontrol
Authors: Paynter Q. , Gourlay A.H. , Rolando C.A. , Watt M.S.
Published: October 2019

The gall mite Aceria genistae a biological control agent of Scotch broom Cytisus scoparius was first released in New Zealand in 2007 The dispersal ability of A genistae was investigated to determine whether slow dispersal might limit its ability to control Scotch broom in forestry plantations where a rapid impact of biocontrol is required Transects were set up from the original release plants at four sites in Canterbury New Zealand and the presence or absence of galled plants was recorded at increasing distances from the release plants until no more galled plants could be found The maximum dispersal rate recorded was 833 m/year which is unlikely to be fast enough to greatly benefit forestry in New Zealand Techniques may have to be developed to enhance mite dispersal in forestry plantations
Why is Napier sea port a hot spot for invasive ants
Authors: Gunawardana D.N. , Peacock L.R. , Flynn A.R. , Ashcroft T.T. , Green O.R.
Published: October 2019

Over the last 10 years the National Invasive Ant Surveillance programme which was established in 2003 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (now Ministry for Primary Industries) in New Zealand has resulted in a number of exotic ant detections at the Napier sea port and surrounding facilities The surveillance is designed to detect newly established nests of exotic ant species at high risk sites around New Zealand such as shipping ports Potential factors contributing to exotic ant detections such as import commodity pathways and local climatic conditions in Napier were analysed The present analysis indicates ant arrival alone or propagule pressure does not necessarily result in establishment Abiotic factors such as temperature and rainfall are likely to be the main factors contributing to successful ant nest establishment at Napier sea port compared to the Ports of Auckland and Tauranga

Infection by the fungal pathogen Rhizopus stolonifer causes a postharvest disease in sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) roots known as soft rot In recent years due to changes in legislation prescribing acceptable agrichemical residues postwash applications of the fungicide dicloran can no longer be used on exported sweetpotato roots An important component of any alternate disease control system is cultivar resistance This study examined the range of responses within artificially inoculated roots of various cultivars under different wounding regimes While none of the cultivars evaluated was immune to infection they differed in their degree of susceptibility (P
Does Psa affect kiwifruit susceptibility to leafrollers
Authors: Hill M.G.
Published: October 2019

Analysis of kiwifruit industry pest monitoring and spray diary data showed increases in the incidence of leafroller larvae on fruit during crop monitoring in the 2011/12 season in regions with the virulent strain of the disease Pseudomonas syringae pv actinidiae (PsaV) Four factors were considered as explanations PsaV infection and its effects on plant defences leafroller sprays PsaV sprays and leafroller sampling The most plausible cause of the increased leafroller incidence is PsaV infection A putative mechanism is hormonal crosstalk resulting in a tradeoff between pest and pathogen resistance The susceptibility of vines to leafrollers in PsaVinfected regions appears to persist for several weeks longer after fruit set than in uninfected vines The paper discusses the need to develop a better understanding of the interactions of biotic and abiotic stressors on plant defence responses to pests and diseases and to incorporate these into a plantdefencecentred approach to Integrated Pest Management

Home Program”
Authors: de Almeida Gonçalves Sachett Jacqueline , da Silva Montenegro Christielle
Published: October 2019

Objective: To define the epidemiological profile of patients with chronic wounds treated by the Multidisciplinary Home Care Team (EMAD) of Rio Branco, state of Acre. Methods: This is an exploratory, field study, in which users were enrolled in the Better at Home Program from January to May 2018. The sample of this study was composed of all active patients in the list attended by EMAD in the period comprised from the first visit of the researchers until the moment of exhaustion of the patients for the data collection. All patients of EMAD with wounds were included, totaling the sample of 100 patients. Results: One hundred patients answered a self-administered questionnaire. It was shown that 54% of the participants were men, with age greater than 51 years and mean age of 50 years [standard deviation (SD) = 19.81]. Sixty percent were brown, 36% singles, 52% had income between one and two minimum wages, 34% had incomplete elementary education, and 35% were retired. Of those selected, 80% live in their properties, 70% of which is masonry, water is piped in 74% of the places, and 100% has electricity. About 38% had hypertension, and 31% were diabetic, being the most prevalent diseases. Families were the main responsible for patients’ access to home care (45%). Lower limb injuries were the most prevalent (38%). It was possible to observe a low level of schooling and income in these patients, besides the majority presence of chronic noncommunicable diseases, as well as the importance of families in the search for specialized treatment. Conclusion: For the quicker rehabilitation of the patients, a holistic view is necessary, relating all areas of health and using the interdisciplinary knowledge so that greater treatment effectiveness occurs.

An Evaluation of Semantically Grouped Word Cloud Designs
Authors: Hearst Marti A. , Pederson Emily , Patil Lekha , Lee Elsie , Laskowski Paul , Franconeri Steven
Published: October 2019

Word clouds continue to be a popular tool for summarizing textual information, despite their well-documented deficiencies for analytic tasks. Much of their popularity rests on their playful visual appeal. In this paper, we present the results of a series of controlled experiments that show that layouts in which words are arranged into semantically and visually distinct zones are more effective for understanding the underlying topics than standard word cloud layouts. White space separators and/or spatially grouped color coding led to significantly stronger understanding of the underlying topics compared to a standard Wordle layout, while simultaneously scoring higher on measures of aesthetic appeal. This work is an advance on prior research on semantic layouts for word clouds because that prior work has either not ensured that the different semantic groupings are visually or semantically distinct, or has not performed usability studies. An additional contribution of this work is the development of a dataset for a semantic category identification task that can be used for replication of these results or future evaluations of word cloud designs.
CerebroVis: Designing an Abstract yet Spatially Contextualized Cerebral Artery Network Visualization
Authors: Pandey Aditeya , Shukla Harsh , Young Geoffrey , Qin Lei , Zamani Amir A , Hsu Liangge , Huang Raymond , Dunne Cody , Borkin Michelle
Published: October 2019

Blood circulation in the human brain is supplied through a network of cerebral arteries. If a clinician suspects a patient has a stroke or other cerebrovascular condition, they order imaging tests. Neuroradiologists visually search the resulting scans for abnormalities. Their visual search tasks correspond to the abstract network analysis tasks of browsing and path following. To assist neuroradiologists in identifying cerebral artery abnormalities, we designed CerebroVis, a novel abstract-yet spatially contextualized-cerebral artery network visualization. In this design study, we contribute a novel framing and definition of the cerebral artery system in terms of network theory and characterize neuroradiologist domain goals as abstract visualization and network analysis tasks. Through an iterative, user-centered design process we developed an abstract network layout technique which incorporates cerebral artery spatial context. The abstract visualization enables increased domain task performance over 3D geometry representations, while including spatial context helps preserve the user's mental map of the underlying geometry. We provide open source implementations of our network layout technique and prototype cerebral artery visualization tool. We demonstrate the robustness of our technique by successfully laying out 61 open source brain scans. We evaluate the effectiveness of our layout through a mixed methods study with three neuroradiologists. In a formative controlled experiment our study participants used CerebroVis and a conventional 3D visualization to examine real cerebral artery imaging data to identify a simulated intracranial artery stenosis. Participants were more accurate at identifying stenoses using CerebroVis (absolute risk difference 13%).

Ultra short pico second chirped pulse generation using SESAM based mode-locked fiber laser
Authors: Dutta Arpan
Published: October 2019

Ultra short pulse fiber lasers are widely used in many photonic systems for industrial, biomedical and scientific applications. Popularity of these lasers rapidly developed due to increment in demand of shorter pulses for various applications like communication, ophthalmology, micromachining, medical imaging and precision metrology. Pulsed fiber laser can produce ultra short pulses in order of pico or femto second. Mode locking technique is widely used in rare earth doped fiber lasers to produce such ultra short pulses of light. In this paper, pulsed operation of fiber laser was studied experimentally at 1 micron region. Experiment on pulsed fiber laser has been done using ytterbium (Yb) doped active fiber. Using the principle of passive mode locking, a 2.3 pico-second pulse was produced at 1064nm wavelength. A semiconductor saturable absorber mirror was used to mode lock the laser. The spectral domain data showed that the pulse was not Fourier transform limited which means the pulse was chirped. Chirped pulse amplification systems exploit this pulse characteristic for power scaling of ultra-short pico- second to femto-second pulses.
Levetiracetam and Memory Loss
Authors: Alshammari Elham
Published: October 2019

Epilepsy is defined as a chronic disorder that causes a sudden rush of electrical activities in the brain. These seizures may be partial or general. While fractional annexations affect a solitary part of the brain, comprehensive seizures distress the entire brain and its activities. There exist myriad options for seizure treatment. Use of Keppra, the brand name for Levetiracetam, is one of the most adopted forms of treatment. These seizures are generally caused by low blood sugar, alcohol withdrawal as well as head trauma. For one to be prescribed seizure drugs, signs such as simple partial seizures, complex partial seizures as well as general seizures must be present. There are other options for managing seizures such as brain surgery, adopting a Ketogenic diet and anti-epileptic drugs. Levetiracetam is typically prescribed as an add-on to these seizure drugs to boost their effectiveness and as well en- sure improved quality of life. While essential resources and information are recommending the use of Levetiracetam, there are also sources discrediting the drug with evidence of causing memory loss and reduced quality of life. Therefore, this study aims at collecting information from different scholarly articles, journals, and websites about the side effects of using Levetiracetam in different populations. After the data is explored, the study offers a comprehensive conclusion based on the information available. The study, therefore, affirms that the use of Levetiracetam improves the quality of life and it does not affect or interfere with the cognitive functions of the brain. The study seeks to demystify the linking of Levetiracetam to memory loss of its users.

The Curse of Knowledge in Visual Data Communication
Authors: Xiong Cindy , van Weelden Lisanne , Franconeri Steven
Published: October 2019

A viewer can extract many potential patterns from any set of visualized data values. But that means that two people can see different patterns in the same visualization, potentially leading to miscommunication. Here, we show that when people are primed to see one pattern in the data as visually salient, they believe that naïve viewers will experience the same visual salience. Participants were told one of multiple backstories about political events that affected public polling data, before viewing a graph that depicted those data. One pattern in the data was particularly visually salient to them given the backstory that they heard. They then predicted what naïve viewers would most visually salient on the visualization. They were strongly influenced by their own knowledge, despite explicit instructions to ignore it, predicting that others would find the same patterns to be most visually salient. This result reflects a psychological phenomenon known as the curse of knowledge, where an expert struggles to re-create the state of mind of a novice. The present findings show that the curse of knowledge also plagues the visual perception of data, explaining why people can fail to connect with audiences when they communicate patterns in data.
The role of norepinephrine in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia
Authors: de Mäki-Marttunen Verónica Expósito , Andreassen Ole A. , Espeseth Thomas
Published: October 2019

Several lines of evidence suggest a role for norepinephrine (NE) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, and in pharmacological interventions. In the present paper, we review recent findings about the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system and its involvement in brain function and cognition to give a more integrated account of the possible role of NE in schizophrenia. First, we review the functional and structural properties of the LC-NE system and its impact on functional brain networks, cognition, stress, and neurodevelopment, with special emphasis on recent experimental and theoretical advances. Subsequently, we present an update about the role of these properties for the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, focusing on the cognitive and motivational deficits observed in schizophrenia. Finally, we suggest how recent development of experimental approaches can be used to characterize LC function in schizophrenia.

AbstractThe concept of waste management through a waste bank was first researched in Thailand in 2008. It is known that waste banks can minimize the volume of waste that will be disposed of to landfill. Waste banks also create economic opportunities and can improve the quality of the environment. This research was conducted to find out how to manage waste through a waste bank. Scientific articles indexed by Dimensions (2008-2018) were analyzed by the systematic library review (SLR) method. The parameters analyzed include aspects of the number of articles published, journal choice, article writer, author's institution and country of origin, author collaboration, and the number of citations. The results of the analysis are visualized with the VOSviewer application. There are 99 scientific articles known and can be known by authors, institutions and any country in the world that study waste banks for waste management.

A prospective study of the relationship of sleep quality and duration with gestational weight gain and fat gain
Authors: Hill Christine , Lipsky Leah , Betts Grace , Siega-Riz Anna Maria , Nansel Tonja

Objective: To examine associations of sleep duration and quality with pregnancy-related changes in body weight and fat.Methods: Pregnant women (N = 458) obtaining obstetric care through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Healthcare System were recruited at ≤12 weeks gestation and followed through delivery. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index measured sleep duration and quality in early and late pregnancy. Weight was measured at each pregnancy medical visit and skinfolds were measured each trimester. T-tests examined sleep changes from early to late pregnancy, and regression analyses estimated associations of sleep quality and duration with gestational weight gain (GWG) and fat gain (GFG).Results: Sleep quality and duration declined across pregnancy. A greater proportion of women with high early pregnancy BMI (>25) reported low sleep quality and short sleep duration. GWG adequacy was not associated with sleep quality or duration while greater GFG was associated with poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration in late pregnancy, but not early pregnancy. Conclusions: Greater GFG was associated with poorer sleep quality and shorter sleep duration in late pregnancy. Experimental studies are needed to test the direction of causality between GFG and sleep attributes.

Published: October 2019

Carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the common neurological condition where median nerve is compressed by transverse carpel ligament at wrist. About 5% of general population suffer from this problem and most commonly occurred in young and middle-aged women. 30% of patients suffering from CTS can be managed by medications and physiotherapy and 70% may require surgical decompression at some stage. Surgical treatment is to decompress median nerve by releasing transverse carpel ligament either by open or endoscopic procedure. Both procedures have shown similar results. This is a retrospective study of 277 patients who underwent 349 decompressive surgical procedures under local anesthesia for CTS between May 2007 and April 2017 in our institute. Diagnosis was made from clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed by either NCV or EMG. All patients were operated in day care basis. Data were retrieved from OPD and OT records. Followed up duration ranged from 6 months to 10 years. There were 257 female and 20 male. 74% had unilateral and 26% had bilateral CTS. 93% CTS were idiopathic. 10% suffered postoperative complications.26% achieved immediate pain relief after decompression, 73% after three weeks and 98.5% after three months. Open decompression of CTS is a quick and simple OPD based surgical procedure.

Abstract: Spinal epidural abscess is a rare pathology which is manifested by a classic triad of pain, fever and neurological deficit. In most cases, the clinical picture is incomplete which makes its diagnosis difficult. In this retrospective study, we report five cases of spinal epidural abscess treated in the neurosurgery department of Hassan II University Hospital of Fez. Four of our patients were admitted due to spinal cord compression, while one patient was admitted for isolated spinal syndrome without neurological deficit. Fever was present in all our patients, nevertheless no point of entry was identified in the initial assessment. MRI was performed on emergency basis in all of our patients which demonstrated an extra-dural hypo intensity on T1WI, hyper intensity on T2WI. It also showed lesions with peripheral enhancement after contrast with gadolinium. Four of our patients underwent surgical treatment which involved performing alaminectomy/laminotomy with drainage of the abscess, while one patient received medical treatment alone. The evolution was favorable in 4 of our patients while one patient died post operatively due to severe sepsis.
Sturge Weber syndrome
Authors: Roka Yam Bahadur
Published: October 2019

Sturge-weber syndrome is a type of neurocutaneous syndrome/ neurooculo cutaneous/ phakomatoses that is characterized by facial capillary Port Wine stain, leptomeningealangioma and glaucoma with a incidence of 1 per 20-50,000 live births. A case is reported that presented to the outpatient clinic with discharging wound over the left side of his head for a week. On examination he had a large left facial PW stain involving all the divisions of the Trigeminal nerve. Further examination revealed he had history of partial seizures since last 10 years with incomplete and irregular treatment. He also had right sided hemiatrophy of the limbs along with medial gaze deviation of the left eyeball. Skull skiagram was done outside which revealed calcifications in his left hemisphere and CT was then advised for his headache and seizure that revealed Left hemispheric Tram track calcifications along with cerebral atrophy and loss of cortical volume. EEG was unremarkable. He was managed with antibiotics for the scalp wound and discharged with Leveteracetam 1000 mg daily dose and asked to attend eye hospital for the reduced vision. With the PW stain, skin nodules, eye findings and the radiological features he was diagnosed as SWS and counseled for regular follow up, use of anti-epileptic medications, probable side effects and surgery for eye abnormalities.
Can (Post-Heroic) Leadership Be Taught (Online)? A Library Educator’s Expansion of Baldwin, Ching, and Friesen’s Grounded Theory Model of Online Course Design and Development
Authors: Openo Jason
Published: October 2019

Many Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) programs are now offered online, and most of these programs offer courses on leadership and management principles. Teaching leadership in any context presents challenges because leadership is a hazy and confounding concept. The intrinsic problems in teaching leadership are compounded by the professional context of libraries; librarianship is a feminized profession whereas being a leader is often a male-oriented construct. This confounding mix of teaching leadership informed by feminist theory is magnified by the challenge of teaching online, where the harassment of women academics (such as MIT’s Chris Bourg) is pervasive and destructive. There is a paucity of research and discussion on how to design online leadership courses in graduate MLIS programs that account for these challenges. This paper contributes to this discussion by expanding upon Baldwin, Ching, and Friesen’s grounded theory model of online course design and development. Grounded theory is an experiential methodology, and this paper aligns with Baldwin et al.’s grounded theory approach by applying constant comparison between the author’s experience designing an online graduate-level leadership course and their model.

La dysplasie épiphysaire hémimélique (DEH) est une maladie rare d’étiologie inconnue consistant en une croissance ostéocartilagineuse anormale de l’épiphyse, généralement hémimélique avec des résultats histologiques similaires à ceux d’un ostéochondrome bénin. Dans cette description de cas, nous avons décrit les résultats du traitement chirurgical de deux cas consécutifs de localisation intra-articulaire de cheville de DEH. Les patients étaient âgés de trois et six ans. Ils mettent en évidence la DEH dans le diagnostic différentiel de la déformation douloureuse de la cheville de l’enfant. Le but de cette étude est de familiariser les cliniciens avec cette entité rare.
