Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can elicit muscular contraction and restore motor function in paralyzed limbs. FES is a rehabilitation technique applied to various sensorimotor deficiencies and in different functional situations, e.g. grasping, walking, standing, transfer, cycling and rowing. FES can be combined with mechanical devices. FES-assisted cycling is mainly used in clinical environments for training sessions on cycle ergometers, but it has also been adapted for mobile devices, usually tricycles. In October 2016, twelve teams participated in the CYBATHLON competition in the FES-cycling discipline for persons with motor-complete spinal cord injury. It was the first event of this kind and a wide variety of strategies, techniques and designs were employed by the different teams in the competition. The approaches of the teams are detailed in this special issue. We hope that the knowledge contained herein, together with recent positive results of FES for denervated degenerating muscles, will provide a solid basis to encourage improvements in FES equipment and open new opportunities for many patients in need of safe and effective FES management. We hope to see further developments and/or the benefit of new training strategies at future FES competitions, e.g. at the Cybathlon 2020 (www.cybathlon.ethz.ch).

Authors: Harding Josie L. , Picha Kelsey J. , Bliven Kellie C. Huxel
Published: December 2017

Context: 

Increased pitch volume and altered glenohumeral (GH) and hip range of motion (ROM) and strength contribute to injury risk in baseball pitchers. Although these factors affect one another, whether they are related is unknown.

Objective: 

To examine relationships among cumulative and seasonal pitch volume, ROM, and strength of the GH and hip joints in youth baseball pitchers.

Design: 

Cross-sectional study.

Setting: 

Baseball practice facilities.

Patients or Other Participants: 

A total of 28 healthy baseball pitchers (age = 13.9 ± 2.9 years).

Main Outcome Measure(s): 

A demographic and pitching questionnaire was used to quantify pitch volume. Glenohumeral internal-rotation (IR) and external-rotation (ER) ROM and strength of the throwing arm; total arc of motion (IR + ER ROM); and bilateral hip IR, ER, and total arc of motion ROM and strength in IR, ER, and abduction were measured. A goniometer was used to assess ROM; a handheld dynamometer, to assess strength. Frequency analyses and bivariate correlations (age covariate) described data and identified relationships.

Results: 

Correlations between years of competitive play and increased strength in lead-leg hip IR (r = 0.52, P = .02) and abduction (r = 0.48, P = .04) and stance-leg hip IR (r = 0.45, P = .05) were fair to good. The number of months played in the last year had a fair correlation with decreased GH IR strength (r = −0.39, P = .04) and increased stance-leg hip IR strength (r = 0.44, P = .05). Limited pitch time had a fair correlation with increased GH ER ROM (r = 0.40, P = .04) and an excellent correlation with increased lead-leg hip IR ROM (r = 0.79, P < .001). Increased innings pitched per game had a fair to good correlation with decreased GH IR strength (r = −0.41, P = .04) and stance-leg hip ER ROM (r = −0.53, P = .03). More pitches per game had a fair to good correlation with increased GH ER ROM (r = 0.44, P = .05) and decreased stance-leg hip ER ROM (r = −0.62, P = .008).

Conclusions: 

The significant relationships identified in this study suggest the need to further examine youth and adolescent cumulative and seasonal pitch guidelines.

Authors: Suhas S. , Ramdas Sharad , Lingam P. P. , Kumar H. R. Naveen , Sasidharan Aashish , Aadithya R.
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Condylar fractures of the mandible are functionally important fractures as the condyle of the mandible being a part of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and can lead to TMJ dysfunction if not properly treated. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of a total of 33 treated patients with fracture of the mandibular condyle who underwent examination as per the Helkimo index. Their dysfunction was quantified and clinicoepidemiological characteristics were assessed. It was found that majority of our patients were young males involved in a two-wheeler accident. All patients underwent intermaxillary fixation as the minimum treatment and 30% underwent open reduction and internal fixation in addition. Results: There was no statistically significant association between the degree of clinical dysfunction and factors such as age, mechanism of injury, type of condyle fracture, presence of other mandible fractures, and surgical procedure. However, dislocation of the mandibular condyle was found to be a negative prognostic factor and all these patients had some degree of dysfunction. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of TMJ dysfunction according to the Helkimo index was 90%. About 61% of patients had mild dysfunction (Di1) and 30% had moderate dysfunction (Di2). None of the patients had severe dysfunction. To conclude, the Helkimo index is a simple, effective, inexpensive, reliable screening index to assess TMJ dysfunction in condylar fractures of mandible.
Primary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity repair using V-Y-Z plasty: An anthropometric study
Authors: Rossell-Perry Percy
Published: December 2017

Background: Secondary nose deformity after unilateral cleft lip repair is a common problem. Loss of tip projection on the cleft side of unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity can be difficult to correct due to lack of adequate support. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcome after using V-Y-Z plasty to address unilateral cleft lip nasal deformities. Methods: A cross-sectional study of one surgeon's outcome of 58 performed primary complete unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity repairs. All these patients met the study criterion of having anthropometric measurements at the cleft and non-cleft side of the nose performed at least 1 year postoperatively. Results: Since 2012, 32 consecutive patients have undergone primary anatomical repair of the cleft nasal deformity in patients with a complete unilateral cleft. We have not found statistically significant differences between the cleft and non-cleft nostril dome height and columella length measured at least 1 year postoperatively. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the V-Y-Z plasty is a good alternative to create a more symmetric nasal tip in patients with primary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. Additional studies are required to evaluate functional and long-term outcomes after primary rhinoplasty in patients with unilateral cleft lip.
Management of vascular anomalies: Review of institutional management algorithm
Authors: Makhija Lalit K. , Bhattacharya Sameek
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Vascular anomalies are congenital lesions broadly categorised into vascular tumour (haemangiomas) and vascular dysmorphogenesis (vascular malformation). The management of these difficult problems has lately been simplified by the biological classification and multidisciplinary approach. To standardise the treatment protocol, an algorithm has been devised. The study aims to validate the algorithm in terms of its utility and presents our experience in managing vascular anomalies. Materials and Methods: The biological classification of Mulliken and Glowacki was followed. A detailed algorithm for management of vascular anomalies has been devised in the department. The protocol is being practiced by us since the past two decades. The data regarding the types of lesions and treatment modality used were maintained. Results and Conclusion: This study was conducted from 2002 to 2012. A total of 784 cases of vascular anomalies were included in the study of which 196 were haemangiomas and 588 were vascular malformations. The algorithmic approach has brought an element of much-needed objectivity in the management of vascular anomalies. This has helped us to define the management of particular lesion considering its pathology, extent and aesthetic and functional consequences of ablation to a certain extent.

Authors: Kumta Samir , Warrier Sudhir , Jain Leena , Ummal Rani , Menezes Manik , Purohit Shrirang
Published: December 2017

Introduction: Scaphoid fractures are not very common and frequently remain undiagnosed, presenting in non-union and persistent wrist pain. Options for scaphoid fracture treatment have been described over several decades, however, none with an optimal solution to achieve union along with good hand function. We describe here, the use of vascularised corticoperiosteal bone grafts from the medial femoral condyle (MFC) as a solution for the difficult problem of scaphoid fracture non-union. Materials and Methods: This series has 11 patients with non-union following a scaphoid fracture treated over 18 months ranging from January 2014 to January 2016 using a vascularised corticoperiosteal graft from the MFC. Bone graft fixation was done using K-wires and anastomosis was done with the radial vessels. Results: There were no cases of flap loss. Time of union was an average 3 months. All patients had a full range of movements. Discussion: MFC is an ideal site for harvesting vascularised corticoperiosteal grafts providing a large surface of tissue supplied by a rich periosteal plexus from the descending genicular artery. No significant donor site morbidities have been reported in any series in the past. The well-defined anatomy helps in a rather simple dissection. Corticoperiosteal grafts have a high osteogenic potential and hence, this vascularised graft seems ideal for small bone non-unions. Conclusion: Thin, pliable and highly vascularised corticocancellous grafts can be obtained from the MFC as an optimal treatment option for scaphoid non-unions.
Why borrow from Peter when Paul can afford it? Reverse homodigital artery flap for fingertip reconstruction
Authors: Sundaramurthy Narayanamurthy , Mahipathy Surya Rao Rao Venkata , Durairaj Alagar Raja
Published: December 2017

Background: Fingertip injuries that are complicated by pulp loss, bone or tendon exposure will need a flap cover. Cross finger flap is commonly used to cover such defects. However, patients are apprehensive about injuring the uninjured finger as a donor site. Reverse homodigital artery flap (RHAF) can provide reliable vascularised cover to such defects. Aims: This study aims to assess the functional and aesthetic outcomes along with the patient satisfaction of RHAFs done for fingertip defects. Materials and Methods: RHAFs done in 18 patients operated between August 2015 and October 2016 were retrospectively analysed on flap survival, sensory recovery, range of movements, hypersensitivity, cold intolerance, flexion contracture and donor site morbidity. Results: Seventeen of the 18 flaps done survived completely. One flap had partial necrosis of 3 mm that healed conservatively. Middle finger of the right hand was the most commonly injured finger. Touch, pain and pressure sensations recovered in 8–12 weeks. Two-point discrimination was 4.5 mm at 6 months. The deficit of 5° s was present at distal interphalangeal joint during active flexion at 6 months. Cold intolerance and flexion contracture were not seen and 2 instances of hypersensitivity at 2 months got cured conservatively after 4 months. Overall satisfaction of patients was 8/10. Conclusion: RHAF provides single staged well-vascularised cover for fingertip injuries with good sensory recovery without damaging the adjacent uninjured finger. Hence, it can be a reliable flap for fingertip reconstruction in selected cases.

Published: December 2017

La tecnología de realidad aumentada supone una combinación del mundo real con el virtual mediante un conjunto de procesos basados en la programación informática y en las posibilidades de almacenamiento de la documentación multimedia que proporcionan las nuevas tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones. Metodología: Este artículo centra su atención en el análisis del uso que los medios de comunicación españoles están realizando de esta innovación. En primer lugar se ha procedido al examen de las experiencias pioneras llevadas a cabo por el diario El País (a través de su publicación El Viajero) y la revista Fotogramas, principalmente sustentadas en la tecnología QR de códigos bidimensionales; a continuación se ha efectuado el estudio de la sustanciación del fenómeno a partir del desarrollo de apps en dispositivos móviles como tabletas electrónicas y/o smartphones (en los entornos Apple, Android y Windows), poniendo de relieve cuál es su alcance real a fecha de hoy; y, por último, se ha llevado a cabo el análisis de las experimentaciones a corto y medio plazo basadas en esta innovación que se están llevando a cabo en los principales Labs pertenecientes a empresas periodísticas españolas. Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados de la investigación muestran que la realidad aumentada está todavía dando sus primeros pasos en el mercado de la información, tanto a escala internacional como de manera más acusada en el caso de España. La inmensa mayoría de estas experiencias no abarcan la compleja infraestructura tecnológica necesaria para poner en marcha proyectos de esta naturaleza, por lo que su verdadero desarrollo en la industria de la información vendrá de la mano de una nueva generación de dispositivos físicos que, en combinación con plataformas hardware más potentes y software específicamente concebido,conseguirán la integración avanzada de elementos reales y virtuales característica de esta tecnología. No obstante, se esboza un escenario de futuro a medio y largo plazo en el que habrá que cuantificar cuál es el auténtico impacto deontológico que la implantación de la realidad aumentada tiene en el flujo de contenidos informativos generado por las empresas de la información, así como cuáles han de ser los niveles de protección de los datos suministrados por los usuarios de esta tecnología a las empresas proveedoras de contenidos y servicios.

Published: December 2017

This review aims to assist emergency physicians in finding the underlying aetiology when a patient presents with dizziness to the emergency department. After reading this review, the emergency physician will be able to consider the most relevant differential diagnoses and have an idea about dangerous aetiologies that require immediate action. The emergency physician will also know what diagnostic steps need to be taken at what time, such as the three-component HINTS Test (Head Impulse, Nystagmus, and Test-of-Skew), which helps with distinguishing central from peripheral causes of the acute vestibular syndrome. Furthermore, episodic  vestibular syndromes and chronic vestibular syndromes are discussed in detail. The five most frequent categories of dizziness are vasovagal syncope / orthostatic hypotension (22.3%), vestibular causes (19.9%), fluid and electrolyte disorders (17.5%), circulatory/pulmonary causes (14.8%) and central vascular causes (6.4%).Given that it would neither be economical nor practical to send all patients to specialists from the start, we present general guidelines for the diagnostic workup of patients presenting with dizziness to the emergency department. This review will focus on epidemiology, aetiologies, differential diagnoses and diagnostics. Treatment is described in a separate article.

The study was intended to identify the common pathogen from water and soil sample of some costal shrimp Hatchery and Fisheries of Bangladesh and to demonstrate the probiotic efficacy against this pathogen. 8 samples were taken from 6 individual costal shrimp Hatchery and bacterial load was determined from them. During the period of study, a total number of 20 bacterial colonies were isolated according to morphological characteristics. Among them, 7 groups of isolates were screened for detail study, based on of their morphological and cultural characteristics. The isolates were identified through biochemical and microbiological characteristics as Aeromonas salmonicida, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus fastidiosus, Vibrio vulnificus, E. coli, Vibrio harveyi and Aeromonas bestiarum. The susceptibility of the selected isolates against traditional antibiotic was performed by agar diffusion method using antibiotic disc. Rifampicin showed inhibitory effect against almost all organisms where as ampicillin is the antibiotic which had no effect on either of the isolates and penicillin is less effective than other antibiotics used. Probiotic efficacy of Bacillus & Pediococcus against the selected isolates was performed. Bacillus and Pediococcus showed a satisfactory antimicrobial effect against the selected isolates which revealed that; they are favorable for the biocontrol of microbial flora in shrimp hatchery and aquaculture.
Analyzing Learner Language to Better Understand Errors: A Case Study with Turkish Learners of English
Authors: Austin Heather M.
Published: December 2017

Analyzing the errors of students’ learner language (interlanguage) can help language instructors to not only betterunderstand why the errors may be occurring, but also provide them with insight on how to better guide learners intheir L2 learning. In this paper, the learner language of two Turkish students of English was analyzed regarding thethird person singular –s inflection and interaction strategies. The author met with each student three times and speechdata was collected during these meetings. An error and interlanguage analysis was then conducted. Reflecting onthese types of analyses can be a very enlightening process in a teacher’s continuing education. Various implicationsarise, such as more objectivity in approaching student errors, creating better learning opportunities in the classroom,as well as having a better indication of where students are at in their own second language acquisition process.
Ionizing Radiations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) Effects on CdS / P-Si Heterojunction Solar Cell for Electrical and Optical Properties
Authors: El-Amin Ayman A. , Saad Magdi H.
Published: December 2017

The effect of ionizing radiations (Alpha, Beta, Gamma) in CdS/p-Si heterojunction solar cells are discussed in this paper. The short-circuit current density parameters before Gamma irradiation conditions have been improved up to 35 mA/cm2 and after Gamma irradiation was 30 mA/cm2. The open circuit voltage before Gamma irradiation was 0.59 and 0.565 V after Gamma irradiation. The limitations of these devices were discussed by investigating the dependence of electrical and efficiency parameters in function of radiation time. The efficiency of the cell before radiation was equal to (11.2%) whenever, after the impact of both Alpha, Beta, and Gamma was follows, 4.7, 4.9, and 5.1% respectively. The fill factor before and after Gamma irradiation was 54.5 and 53 %. Studying and analyzing the cells using the I-V, with the change of time rate of Gamma radiation played a critical role in reducing the efficiency of solar cells. The campaign was carried out with different doses of a series of solar cells by exposing them to different time. The deterioration parameters of CdS/p-Si solar cells by Gamma radiation led to strongly supports the results of minority carrier lifetime, which clearly showed diminishing minority carrier lifetime with increasing radiation dose.

Published: December 2017

The utilization of cottonseed meal products as valuable industrial materials needs to be exploited. We have recently produced water-washed cottonseed meal, total cottonseed protein, sequentially extracted water- and alkali-soluble proteins, and two residues after the total and sequential protein extractions at a pilot scale. In this work, the surface characteristics of the six cottonseed meal products were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the surface properties of the six products differed from those of a commercial soy protein flour examined comparatively in this work. The compact morphology and relative-high N composition were observed in all three protein products, with greater similarity between the total protein and alkali-soluble protein. The surfaces of the two residue products were more porous with polysaccharide features. Washed cottonseed meal possessed the surface features similar to those of the residues. In the meantime, the N-associated functional groups were under-represented in the surfaces of all samples, compared to their bulk composition. Information derived from this work increased the understanding of the surface functional properties of cottonseed meal products, which would benefit their practical utilization.
Analysis in Large Deformation of a Rigid Plastic Prestressed Beam in Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Authors: Olodo Emmanuel ET , Ahouannou Clement , Passoli Olivier A.
Published: December 2017

One of the major concerns in designing of prestressed beams in ultra-high performance fiber- reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is improvement of their ductility fracture due to the nature of the materials used in their manufacture. This can induce plastic behaviours which it is necessary to take into account by designing of such structures, especially when they are of large spans. In the present work, it is proposed an analytical model in large deformation of a rigid plastic prestressed UHPFRC beam embedded at one end and having at other end rolled support. She is approached by a local uniform load and external moments to supports. The proposed non-linear model can find exact analytical solutions for the determination of the local arrows and the associated charge by the technique of Lagrange multiplier which allows finding the stationary points of differentiable function of one or several variables under constraints. The results of this work can be useful in designing and calculation of long span prestressed structures with plastic rigid behavior.
Vitamin D and functions of adipocytes
Authors: Pelczyńska Marta , Grzelak Teresa , Sperling Marcelina , Czyżewska Krystyna
Published: December 2017

The presence of vitamin D receptors in β-cells, in the cells of intestine, skeletal system, lungs, lymphocytes, monocytes and adipocytes indicates its multidirectional activity. Vitamin D has the ability to modify the process of adipogenesis by inducing transcription factors and affecting the remodeling of adipose tissue. Due to the presence of specific receptors in adipocytes, vitamin D affects the systemic regulation of energy homeostasis. Vitamin D receptor knockout mice have lower body weight and better tolerance to high-energy diets, whereas the overexpression of this receptor leads to the occurrence of obesity. Vitamin D inhibits or stimulates the synthesis of adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin), although research in this field is inconclusive. Vitamin D reduces inflammation mainly by decreasing the production of proinflammatory cytokines. It has also been indicated that adipose tissue affects the metabolism of vitamin D. Preadipocytes and mature adipocytes modulate the activity of enzymes involved in the hydroxylation and metabolism of this vitamin. Vitamin D binding protein also plays an important role, as, in addition to controlling the metabolism of this compound, it may participate in the pathogenesis of complications of obesity. Vitamin D deficiencies in various niejedpopulation
groups, particularly in people with excess adipose tissue, lead to many metabolic
dysfunctions, such as carbohydrate and lipid disorders. Thus, the proper supply of this vitamin
is important for improving health condition. The aim of the study is to review the data on the
effects of vitamin D on the process of adipogenesis and adipocyte role in the metabolism of this
vitamin, its impact on energy homeostasis, adipokines synthesis and inflammatory reactions.
Sclerostin and chronic kidney disease

Published: December 2017

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to the development of mineral and skeletal disturbances. They increase the risk of fractures, cardiovascular complications and, in consequence, decrease patients’ lifespan. Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays an important role in the development and homeostasis of the skeleton. The system is tightly regulated by group of inhibitors, such as sclerostin. Sclerostin inhibits bone formation and increases its resorption. There is mounting evidence that sclerostin may take part in the progress of bone and cardiovascular complications among patients with CKD. This review presents the current state of knowledge on the role of sclerostin in bone and cardiovascular disturbances in CKD patients.

Published: December 2017

Xerosis and pruritus are the most common skin disorders in patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). The prevalence and intensity of those skin changes are higher in patients undergoing dialysis, independent of its type, compared to patients treated conservatively. However, they can occur even in the early stages of CKD and be very bothersome for the sufferers. The problem of dry skin in CKD patients, its characteristics, reasons and relationship between xerosis and pruritus have been described. The current views on the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-P), formerly known as uremic pruritus, have been discussed. This article summarizes the available treatment options for CKD-P, including both topical and systemic therapies. The authors direct attention to the need for skin lesions treatment in order to prevent their progression and to improve the quality of patients’ life.
History Repeating Itself. The function of turning points and continuity in three historical narratives on operetta
Authors: Strömberg Mikael
Published: December 2017

The article’s primary aim is to discuss the function of turning points and continuity within historiography. That a historical narrative, produced at a certain time and place, influence the way the historian shapes and develops the argument is problematized by an emphasis on the complex relationship between turning points and continuity as colligatory concepts within an argumentative framework. Aided by a number of examples from three historical narratives on operetta, the article stresses the importance of creating new narratives about the past. Two specific examples from the history of operetta, the birth of the genre and the role of music, are used to illustrate the need to revise not only the use of source material and the narrative strategy used, but also how the argument proposed by the historian gathers strength. The interpretation of turning points and continuity as colligatory concepts illustrate the need to revise earlier historical narratives when trying to counteract the repetitiveness of history.
Activating Dance Records. Conceptualizing research into the Swedish, Nordic and global archives pertaining to the Russian dancer Anna Robenne
Authors: Von Rosen Astrid
Published: December 2017

This article explores the following research question: In what ways can activations of dance records (archived materials and other recordings of activities) be conceptualized to contribute to the making of a critically productive dance history in the digital age? Drawing on an extensive study of the Russian dancer Anna Robenne, the article focuses on the archival explorations (or road trip) as such, and in particular the multifaceted ways in which the records themselves can be active agents in processes of memory making and history production. Adopting recent theoretical developments concerning the concept of pluralization in archival studies, the exploration discards the conventional and rather static understanding of records as neutral containers of facts to emphasize instead an inclusive and infinitely evolving process. Working within an interdisciplinary archive-oriented realm, the author reflexively makes use of practices and methods belonging to both art history and classical and contemporary dance tradition. The article first maps recent pluralizing approaches within archival studies including re-theorizations of the key concepts records, provenance, value and representation. It then conceptualizes archival activation through examples from the archival road trip. The article concludes by offering the reader clear arguments for archival pluralization in the form of intimate, invasive, and imaginary activation, and demonstrates the importance and relevance of closely, critically and imaginatively engaging with records. The article highlights the role the archive can play in breaking down cultural barriers and re-evaluating notions of dance historiography, heritage and cultural identity.
Affective Economies in the Tug of War between Idealism and Anti-idealisms. Reviewers’ reactions to Anne Charlotte Leffler’s Sanna kvinnor (True Women)
Authors: Lindh Birgitta Johansson
Published: December 2017

The aim of the article is to demonstrate and discuss a method for analyzing reviews, emphasizing the emotional reactions and personal attempts by reviewers to position themselves. Paying attention to such structures is especially important during periods of intense aesthetic and ideological struggles in the field of theatre. The documents used in the study are three reviews of the opening night (15 October 1883) of Sanna kvinnor (True Women), by the Swedish playwright Anne Charlotte Leffler. The reviews constitute an interesting case, as both the play and the performance broke with dramaturgical conventions and strongly criticized the gender-ideology of the era, at a time when the advocates of idealism exercised hegemony and were challenged by various anti-idealist opponents.

Restoration of cellulase activity in the inactive cellulosomal protein Cel9V from Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum
Authors: Vita Nicolas , Ravachol Julie , Franche Nathalie , Borne Romain , Tardif Chantal , Pagès Sandrine , Fierobe Henri‐Pierre
Published: December 2017

Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum produces extracellular cellulosomes which contain interalia numerous family‐9 glycoside hydrolases, including the inactive Cel9V. The latter shares the same organization and 79% sequence identity with the active cellulase Cel9E. Nevertheless, two aromatic residues and a four‐residue stretch putatively critical for the activity are missing in Cel9V. Introduction of one Trytophan and the four‐residue stretch restored some weak activity in Cel9V, whereas the replacement of its catalytic domain by that of Cel9E generated a fully active cellulase. Altogether our data indicate that a series of mutations in the catalytic domain of Cel9V lead to an essentially inactive cellulase.
Uplift of the Western Transverse Ranges and Ventura Area of Southern California: A Four‐Technique Geodetic Study Combining GPS, InSAR, Leveling, and Tide Gauges
Authors: Hammond William C. , Burgette Reed J. , Johnson Kaj M. , Blewitt Geoffrey
Published: December 2017

We estimate the rate of vertical land motion (VLM) in the region around the Western Transverse Ranges (WTR), Ventura, and Big Bend of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) of southern California using data from four geodetic techniques: GPS, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), leveling, and tide gauges. We use a new analysis technique called GPS Imaging to combine the techniques and leverage the synergy between (1) high geographic resolution of InSAR, (2) precision, stability, and geocentric reference frame of GPS, (3) decades long observation of VLM with respect to the sea surface from tide gauges, and (4) relative VLM along dense leveling lines. The uncertainty in the overall rate field is ~1 mm/yr, though some individual techniques have uncertainties as small as 0.2 mm/yr. The most rapid signals are attributable to subsidence in aquifers and groundwater changes. Uplift of the WTR is geographically continuous, adjacent to the SAF and appears related to active crustal contraction across Pacific/North America plate boundary fault system. Uplift of the WTR and San Gabriel Mountains is ~2 mm/yr and is asymmetrically focused west of the SAF, consistent with interseismic strain accumulation across thrust faults in the Ventura area and Santa Barbara channel that accommodate contraction against the near vertical SAF.

The classic lithosphere‐stretching model predicts that the post‐rift evolution of extensional basin should be exclusively controlled by decaying thermal subsidence. However, the stratigraphy of the Songliao Basin in northeastern China shows that the post‐rift evolution was punctuated by multiple episodes of uplift and exhumation events, commonly attributed to the response to regional tectonic events, including the far‐field compression from plate margins. Three prominent tectonostratigraphic post‐rift unconformities are recognized in the Late Cretaceous strata of the basin: T11, T03, and T02. The subsequent Cenozoic history is less constrained due to the incomplete record of younger deposits. In this paper, we utilize detrital apatite fission track (AFT) thermochronology to unravel the enigmatic timing and origin of post‐rift unconformities. Relating the AFT results to the unconformities and other geological data, we conclude that in the post‐rift stage, the basin experienced a multiepisodic tectonic evolution with four distinct cooling and exhumation events. The thermal history and age pattern document the timing of the unconformities in the Cretaceous succession: the T11 unconformity at ~88–86 Ma, the T03 unconformity at ~79–75 Ma, and the T02 unconformity at ~65–50 Ma. A previously unrecognized Oligocene unconformity is also defined by a ~32–24 Ma cooling event. Tectonically, all the cooling episodes were regional, controlled by plate boundary stresses. We propose that Pacific dynamics influenced the wider part of eastern Asia during the Late Cretaceous until Cenozoic, whereas the far‐field effects of the Neo‐Tethys subduction and collision processes became another tectonic driver in the later Cenozoic.

Measuring fault offsets preserved at the ground surface is of primary importance to recover earthquake and long‐term slip distributions and understand fault mechanics. The recent explosion of high‐resolution topographic data, such as Lidar and photogrammetric digital elevation models, offers an unprecedented opportunity to measure dense collections of fault offsets. We have developed a new Matlab code, 3D_Fault_Offsets, to automate these measurements. In topographic data, 3D_Fault_Offsets mathematically identifies and represents nine of the most prominent geometric characteristics of common sublinear markers along faults (especially strike slip) in 3‐D, such as the streambed (minimum elevation), top, free face and base of channel banks or scarps (minimum Laplacian, maximum gradient, and maximum Laplacian), and ridges (maximum elevation). By calculating best fit lines through the nine point clouds on either side of the fault, the code computes the lateral and vertical offsets between the piercing points of these lines onto the fault plane, providing nine lateral and nine vertical offset measures per marker. Through a Monte Carlo approach, the code calculates the total uncertainty on each offset. It then provides tools to statistically analyze the dense collection of measures and to reconstruct the prefaulted marker geometry in the horizontal and vertical planes. We applied 3D_Fault_Offsets to remeasure previously published offsets across 88 markers on the San Andreas, Owens Valley, and Hope faults. We obtained 5,454 lateral and vertical offset measures. These automatic measures compare well to prior ones, field and remote, while their rich record provides new insights on the preservation of fault displacements in the morphology.

The strength of fault zones is strongly dependent on pore fluid pressures within them. Moreover, transient changes in pore fluid pressure can lead to a variety of slip behavior from creep to unstable slip manifested as earthquakes or slow slip events. The frictional properties of low‐permeability fault gouge in nature and experiment can be affected by pore fluid pressure development through compaction within the gouge layer, even when the boundaries are drained. Here the conditions under which significant pore fluid pressures develop are analyzed analytically, numerically, and experimentally. Friction experiments on low‐permeability fault gouge at different sliding velocities show progressive weakening as slip rate is increased, indicating that faster experiments are incapable of draining the pore fluid pressure produced by compaction. Experiments are used to constrain the evolution of the permeability and pore volume needed for numerical modeling of pore fluid pressure build up. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experiments, indicating that the principal physical processes have been considered. The model is used to analyze the effect of pore fluid pressure transients on the determination of the frictional properties, illustrating that intrinsic velocity‐strengthening behavior can appear velocity weakening if pore fluid pressure is not given sufficient time to equilibrate. The results illustrate that care must be taken when measuring experimentally the frictional characteristics of low‐permeability fault gouge. The contribution of compaction‐induced pore fluid pressurization leading to weakening of natural faults is considered. Cyclic pressurization of pore fluid within fault gouge during successive earthquakes on larger faults may reset porosity and hence the capacity for compaction weakening.
Imaging the Mudurnu Segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone From Waveforms of Small Earthquakes

We analyze waveforms of local earthquakes occurring before, between, and after the two consecutive 1999 Mw > 7 İzmit and Düzce earthquakes in NW Turkey. The waveforms were recorded at three seismic stations DOK, EKI, and GOK located around the Mudurnu segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone. We focus on the interpretation of a distinct secondary phase contained in the P wave coda that is well separated from the direct P wave. The phase is visible in many waveforms of most seismicity clusters and has a specific constant time delay after the direct P wave arrivals at each station, irrespective of epicentral distance, hypocentral depth, or back azimuth. Based on a polarization analysis of records at station GOK, this secondary phase is interpreted as a PS wave converted at an interface near the stations. Its particle motion is consistent with the direct S wave and displays S wave splitting produced by the anisotropic upper crust. Synthetic modeling indicates that this PS phase can be converted either at a horizontal interface or at a steeply inclined interface. The steep Mudurnu fault zone with the near‐surface setting indicating a juvenile pull‐apart structure fits well into these interpretations, which are in agreement with the eastward progressing transtensional tectonics known for the region.
Physical and Biological Drivers of Biogeochemical Tracers Within the Seasonal Sea Ice Zone of the Southern Ocean From Profiling Floats

Here we present initial findings from nine profiling floats equipped with pH, O2,
, and other biogeochemical sensors that were deployed in the seasonal ice zone (SIZ) of the Southern Ocean in 2014 and 2015 through the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modelling (SOCCOM) project. A large springtime phytoplankton bloom was observed that coincided with sea ice melt for all nine floats. We argue this bloom results from a shoaling of the mixed layer depth, increased vertical stability, and enhanced nutrient and light availability as the sea ice melts. This interpretation is supported by the absence of a springtime bloom when one of the floats left the SIZ in the second year of observations. During the sea ice covered period, net heterotrophic conditions were observed. The rate of uptake of O2 and release of dissolved inorganic carbon (derived from pH and estimated total alkalinity) and
is reminiscent of biological respiration and is nearly Redfieldian for the nine floats. A simple model of mixed layer physics was developed to separate the physical and biological components of the signal in pH and O2 over one annual cycle for a float in the Ross Sea SIZ. The resulting annual net community production suggests that seasonal respiration during the ice covered period of the year nearly balances the production in the euphotic layer of up to 5 mol C m−2 during the ice free period leading to a net of near zero carbon exported to depth for this one float.
The Effect of Alongcoast Advection on Pacific Northwest Shelf and Slope Water Properties in Relation to Upwelling Variability

Published: December 2017

The Northern California Current System experiences highly variable seasonal upwelling in addition to larger basin‐scale variability, both of which can significantly affect its water chemistry. Salinity and temperature fields from a 7 year ROMS hindcast model of this region (43°N–50°N), along with extensive particle tracking, were used to study interannual variability in water properties over both the upper slope and the midshelf bottom. Variation in slope water properties was an order of magnitude smaller than on the shelf. Furthermore, the primary relationship between temperature and salinity anomalies in midshelf bottom water consisted of variation in density (cold/salty versus warm/fresh), nearly orthogonal to the anomalies along density levels (cold/fresh versus warm/salty) observed on the upper slope. These midshelf anomalies were well‐explained (R2 = 0.6) by the combination of interannual variability in local and remote alongshore wind stress, and depth of the California Undercurrent (CUC) core. Lagrangian analysis of upper slope and midshelf bottom water shows that both are affected simultaneously by large‐scale alongcoast advection of water through the northern and southern boundaries. The amplitude of anomalies in bottom oxygen and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) on the shelf associated with upwelling variability are larger than those associated with typical variation in alongcoast advection, and are comparable to observed anomalies in this region. However, a large northern intrusion event in 2004 illustrates that particular, large‐scale alongcoast advection anomalies can be just as effective as upwelling variability in changing shelf water properties on the interannual scale.
