Published: September 2019

Ampal Catchment Area has 25.273 km2 area and 4.699 km main river length, which planned to have 13 flood control construction. Until 2017, this catchment area has only three flood control construction. The watershed has only three built-in batters that are used to reduce the amount of flood discharge flowing on the Ampal river. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to analyze the magnitude of the difference of flood peak discharge on the existing condition (three bendali) compared with the condition of the plan (thirteen bendali). Therefore, analyzed the function and influence of flood control construction in Ampal Catchment Area by counting the flood peak discharge in each condition. From the analysis result, obtained the amount of peak discharge flowing in Ampal river existing condition is equal to 170,40 m3/s while at the condition of plan is equal to 83,80 m3/s. From the results of analysis, it is stated that the magnitude of the decrease of debit (ΔQ) after all the builds is 86.60 m3/s.

En la actualidad, las lesiones traumáticas dentales son reconocidas como un real problema de salud dental pública, especialmente en niños y adolescentes. Se ha demostrado una alta incidencia de lesiones por vía oral en comparación con las lesiones no orales, especialmente durante sus primeros diez años de vida (1). El trauma de la región oral ocurre frecuentemente y representa aproximadamente el 5% de las causas por las cuales los pacientes buscan tratamiento (2). Una revisión de 12 años de la literatura reporta que el 25% de todos los niños en edad escolar experimentan algún tipo de trauma dental y el 33% de los adultos han experimentado traumas en la dentición permanente, la mayoría de las lesiones ocurren antes de cumplir los diecinueve años.(3) En edad preescolar este porcentaje representa el 18%.(1)(3) Lesiones dentales son más frecuentes en niños de entre 8 y 15 años de edad, aunque un aumento en la incidencia de las lesiones dentales se ha reportado en los pacientes mayores de 18 años(2,4). Luxaciones son los tipos de lesiones más comunes en la dentición primaria, mientras que las fracturas de la corona se presentan con mayor frecuencia para la dentición permanente (5,6).

CRACKABILITY AT WELDING AND SURFACING DUE TO HIGH-TEMPERATURE ALLOY CASTINGSI NFLUENCE OF THE STRUCTURE
Authors: Samokhin Mykhailo
Published: September 2019

The influence of the structure of casting high-temperature nickel alloys on their crack resistance at welding has been studied. It has been shown that crack formation in the weld-adjacent zone is promoted by the presence of lamellar precipitates of the σ-phase, large colonies and eutectic films of the γ΄-phase, carbides, and topologically close-packed phases on the grain boundaries, as well as the heterogeneity of distribution of the liquating elements. Homogenization heat treatment of the base metal before welding provides the maximum level of crack resistance and heat resistance of the joints. It is established that the ratio of Тc.d.γ΄, Teut. and Ts has a great influence on the formation of a ductile metal layer in the weld-adjacent zone of the cast workpiece, which improves its crack resistance at surfacing and welding. To prevent crack formation during welding of alloys with Teut. (Ts) < Тc.d.γ΄, it is necessary to apply new filler alloys with a zirconium-containing eutectic phase.

Authors: Serbin Sergey , Mostipanenko Аnna
Published: September 2019

The analysis of aerodynamic and heat structure of flow in high-frequency inductive plasma torch has been carried out. The range of plasma torch power is measured in dozens of kilowatts. The numerical simulation methods of the turbulent flow in the plasma torch affected by high frequency electromagnetic field without considering the chemical kinetics are used during the research. The data of temperature field and induced current density in the plasma torch depending on current amperage and frequency are obtained. Also, these data are obtained depending on the flow scheme in the operated on argon and air plasma torches. The inductive plasma torches can be applied to solve a wide range of tasks such as activation of coal-dust mixture with its further gasification, coating process for the stabilization of combustion processes as well as for the recycling processes at the mobile seaport recycling complexes. The calculations demonstrated convincingly the advantage of the operation of plasma torches with reverse vortex flow over plasma torches with “direct” vortex flow. Moreover the obtained data allow executing the assessment of thermal efficiency of inductive plasma jet and obtaining its optimal operational modes.

We have used the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to carry out a deep (117 on-source hours) L-band observation of the Extended Groth Strip, to measure the average neutral hydrogen (H i) mass and median star formation rate (SFR) of star-forming galaxies, as well as the cosmic H i mass density, at 0.2 < z < 0.4. This was done by stacking the H i 21 cm emission and the rest-frame 1.4 GHz radio continuum from 445 blue star-forming galaxies with M

Published: September 2019

Madagascar is one of the world hotspots for endemics, and its rapidly changing habitats accelerate the need for their study and conservation. Orthopterans, mantids, phasmids, and cockroaches were sampled in five main habitats (savanna and shrubland, semiarid spiny forest, rainforest, mountain grass- and shrubland, and cultivated habitats) in central and southern Madagascar (41 sites, 0–2250 m a.s.l.) with the aim of getting the first data on their diversity and distribution along environmental gradients shortly after the rainy period. Samples were collected primarily by sweeping herb and shrub vegetation along transects 100 m long and 1–2 m wide (5–8 transects/site) and supplemented using other techniques. Altogether 117 species of orthopteroid insects were found (94 Orthoptera, 7 Mantodea, 4 Phasmida, and 12 Blattodea), among them two katydid species which had been recently described as new to science (Mimoscudderia longicaudataHeller & Krištín, 2019,Parapyrrhicia leucaHemp & Heller, 2019). High species diversity was documented: altogether 63 species (53.8%) were present at only one site, 14 (12%) at two sites, and 5 species (4.2%) at three sites. Nonmetric multidimensional scaling analysis on species composition did not clearly separate the assemblages of the sampled sites. Species assemblages from four habitats overlapped due to their similarity. Only assemblages from the rainforest sites were partially separated from the other sites. Cultivated habitats were characterized by the most frequent (F > 50%) and abundant grasshopper species, such asAcorypha decisa,Aiolopus thalassinus rodericensis,Oedaleus virgula,Gelastorrhinus edax,Gymnobothrusspp,. andAcrotylusspp. We found a significant association between habitat management and species rareness, where the number of rare species was higher in natural/unmanaged habitats. However, we found no association between habitat management and the number of endemic species. For several species we provide the first detailed data on their localities and habitat.
Differentiation and growth of a growing point until the stage of flower bud appearance in leading common buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat varieties in northern Japan
Authors: Kasajima Shinya , Yoshimaru Ikumi , Itoh Hirotake
Published: September 2019

Studies regarding the developmental stage of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) have not been adequately performed despite its importance in studying the yield-determining process. In addition, the difference between common buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat (F. tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) is still unclear. In the present study, the differentiation and growth of the growing point until the stage of flower bud appearance were evaluated in the common buckwheat variety ‘Kitawasesoba’ and the Tartary buckwheat variety ‘Manten-Kirari’, which are the leading buckwheat varieties in Hokkaido, Japan. With some exceptions, the developmental stages of ‘Kitawasesoba’ and ‘Manten-Kirari’ can be distinguished. Thus, leaf primordia, axillary flower bud, and terminal flower bud differentiations and growths were observed. Both the common and Tartary buckwheat varieties did not exhibit large differences in the morphology of the growing point. However, the two varieties showed differences in the rates of differentiation and growth.Received: April 11, 2019; accepted: June 8, 2019Keywords: common buckwheat, developmental stage, growing point, Hokkaido, Tartary buckwheat

Published: September 2019

The tongue is an important oral structure that affects speech, position of teeth, periodontal tissues, nutrition, swallowing, nursing, and certain social activities. Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie, is a congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenulum, which restricts mobility of the tongue. Though the ankyloglossia is not a serious condition, it may lead to a host of problems including infant feeding difficulties, speech disorders, and various mechanical and social issues related to the inability of the tongue to protrude. Hence, management of ankyloglossia should be considered at any age considering the risk-benefit evaluation. Tongue being highly vascular and mobile structure, laser-assisted lingual frenectomy is the simplest, safest and less traumatic of all the treatment modalities available, with most promising results in minimally invasive dentistry. Here, a case of ankyloglossia is reported with its management by diode laser.

Authors: Shah Ishani P , Yadav Amit , Mehta Rujuta , Thatte Mukund
Published: September 2019

A typical muscle variation of latissimus dorsi - the axillary arch is represented by the muscular or fibromuscular slip detached from the anteroinferior border of the musculus latissimus dorsi passing over the axilla under the axillary fascia crossing the medial side of the brachial plexus to continue as a septum intermusculare mediale brachii distally to the medial epicondyle of humerus. The full extent of the muscle is rarely present. Slips of muscle extend from the latissimus dorsi at the inferior angle of scapula to insert into pectoralis major (Langer), coracobrachilis, biceps or coracoid process forming what is described as a common variant - the muscular axillary arch. We report three cases of variants of latissimus dorsi, one of which has not been reported in the literature before.
A pregnant patient with fetal distress with severe post burn contracture of anterior trunk and perineum: A surgeon’s nightmare!
Authors: Vathulya Madhubari , Joshi Meenakshi
Published: September 2019

Introduction: A case report of a pregnant lady in the third trimester, presenting in the emergency with absent fetal movements is being described. A multi-speciality expertise was involved and a full term female baby was delivered. Presentation: The patient presented in a Government hospital, Dehradun, India. At the time of presentation the fetal heart sounds were absent and subsequently the severe post-burn deformity involving the anterior trunk, perineum and thighs were discovered. Management: Immediately a multi-speciality approach involving the plastic, obstetrics and pediatrics field were called for and an emergency caesarean with simultaneous contracture release with split skin grafts were performed after optimizing the patient for surgery. Conclusion: This is one of the first case reports reporting this rare combination of post burn contracture of trunk and perineum with fetal distress requiring emergency caesarean section along with release of abdominal and perineal post-burn contracture. This case interestingly reinforces that in such complicated cases a systematic and a combined multi-speciality approach still holds the key to patient’s treatment even in district hospitals.

The Category of Ordered Bratteli Diagrams
Authors: Amini Massoud , Elliott George A. , Golestani Nasser
Published: September 2019

A category structure for ordered Bratteli diagrams is proposed in which isomorphism coincides with the notion of equivalence of Herman, Putnam, and Skau. It is shown that the natural one-to-one correspondence between the category of Cantor minimal systems and the category of simple properly ordered Bratteli diagrams is in fact an equivalence of categories. This gives aBratteli–Vershik modelfor factor maps between Cantor minimal systems. We give a construction of factor maps between Cantor minimal systems in terms of suitable maps (called premorphisms) between the corresponding ordered Bratteli diagrams, and we show that every factor map between two Cantor minimal systems is obtained in this way. Moreover, solving a natural question, we are able to characterize Glasner and Weiss’s notion of weak orbit equivalence of Cantor minimal systems in terms of the corresponding C*-algebra crossed products.
Malnutrition, apoptosis, and autophagy triangle in critically ill patients
Authors: Kasapoğlu Umut S. , Cinel İsmail
Published: September 2019

Malnutrition is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients. Moreover, malnutrition leads to increased apoptosis leading to secondary immune deficiency. Nutritional support is therefore an important aspect of patient care in critically ill patients. Although total parenteral nutrition (TPN) provides sufficient energy and protein requirement to critically ill patients, it increases the risk of infection by inducing apoptosis in the intestinal epithelial cells resulting in the loss of mucosal epithelial barrier function. However, early parenteral nutritional support inhibits autophagy in critically ill patients, leading to suppression of natural immunity, infection development, and increased organ dysfunction. Autophagy is an important repair process in the recovery of organ dysfunction caused by critical disease. Therefore, the absence of parenteral nutritional support in the acute phase of critical disease stimulates autophagy and accelerates recovery. Even though it is thought that fasting-activated autophagy may have positive effects on critical illness, early trophic/hypocaloric enteral nutrition support should be initiated in patients at high risk of malnutrition.
How marine emissions of bromoform impact the remote atmosphere
Authors: Jia Yue , Tegtmeier Susann , Atlas Elliot , Quack Birgit
Published: September 2019

Abstract. It is an open question how localized elevated emissions of bromoform (CHBr3) and other very short-lived halocarbons (VSLHs), found in coastal and upwelling regions, and low background
emissions, typically found over the open ocean, impact the atmospheric
VSLH distribution. In this study, we use the Lagrangian dispersion model
FLEXPART to simulate atmospheric CHBr3 resulting from assumed uniform background emissions, and from elevated emissions consistent with those derived during three tropical cruise campaigns. The simulations demonstrate that the atmospheric CHBr3 distributions in the uniform background emissions scenario are highly variable with high mixing ratios appearing in regions of convergence or low wind speed. This relation holds on regional and global scales. The impact of localized elevated emissions on the atmospheric CHBr3
distribution varies significantly from campaign to campaign. The estimated
impact depends on the strength of the emissions and the meteorological
conditions. In the open waters of the western Pacific and Indian oceans,
localized elevated emissions only slightly increase the background
concentrations of atmospheric CHBr3, even when 1∘ wide source
regions along the cruise tracks are assumed. Near the coast, elevated
emissions, including hot spots up to 100 times larger than the uniform
background emissions, can be strong enough to be distinguished from the
atmospheric background. However, it is not necessarily the highest hot spot
emission that produces the largest enhancement, since the tug-of-war between fast advective transport and local accumulation at the time of emission is also important. Our results demonstrate that transport variations in the atmosphere itself
are sufficient to produce highly variable VSLH distributions, and elevated
VSLHs in the atmosphere do not always reflect a strong localized source.
Localized elevated emissions can be obliterated by the highly variable
atmospheric background, even if they are orders of magnitude larger than the average open ocean emissions.

Abstract. The prediction of cloud ice formation in climate models
remains a challenge, partly due to the complexity of ice-related processes.
Mineral dust is a prominent aerosol in the troposphere and is an important
contributor to ice nucleation in mixed-phase clouds, as dust can initiate
ice heterogeneously at relatively low supercooling conditions. We
characterized the ice nucleation properties of size-segregated mineral dust
sampled during dust events in the eastern Mediterranean. The sampling site
allowed us to compare the properties of airborne dust from several
sources with diverse mineralogy that passed over different atmospheric
paths. We focused on particles with six size classes determined by the
Micro-Orifice Uniform Deposit Impactor (MOUDI) cutoff sizes: 5.6, 3.2, 1.8,
1.0, 0.6 and 0.3 µm. Ice nucleation experiments were conducted in the
Weizmann Supercooled Droplets Observation on a Microarray (WISDOM) setup,
whereby the particles are immersed in nanoliter droplets using a microfluidics
technique. We observed that the activity of airborne particles depended on
their size class; supermicron and submicron particles had different
activities, possibly due to different composition. The concentrations of ice-nucleating particles and the density of active sites (ns) increased
with the particle size and particle concentration. The supermicron
particles in different dust events showed similar activity, which may
indicate that freezing was dominated by common mineralogical components.
Combining recent data of airborne mineral dust, we show that current
predictions, which are based on surface-sampled natural dust or standard mineral dust,
overestimate the activity of airborne dust, especially for the submicron
class. Therefore, we suggest including information on particle size in
order to increase the accuracy of ice formation modeling and thus
weather and climate predictions.
Low-cost eddy covariance: a case study of evapotranspiration over agroforestry in Germany
Authors: Markwitz Christian , Siebicke Lukas
Published: September 2019

Abstract. Heterogeneous land surfaces require multiple measurement units for spatially adequate sampling and representative fluxes. The complexity and cost of traditional eddy covariance (EC) set-ups typically limits the feasible number of sampling units. Therefore, new low-cost eddy covariance systems provide ideal opportunities for spatially replicated sampling. The aim of this study was to test the performance of a compact, low-cost pressure, temperature and relative humidity sensor for the application of evapotranspiration measurements by eddy covariance over agroforestry and conventional agriculture in Germany. We performed continuous low-cost eddy covariance measurements over agroforestry and conventional agriculture for reference at five sites across northern Germany over a period of 2 years from 2016 to 2017. We conducted side-by-side measurements using a roving enclosed-path eddy covariance set-up to assess the performance of the low-cost eddy covariance set-up. Evapotranspiration measured with low-cost eddy covariance compared well with fluxes from conventional eddy covariance. The slopes of linear regressions for evapotranspiration comparing low-cost and conventional eddy covariance set-ups ranged from 0.86 to 1.08 for 5 out of 10 sites, indicating a 14 % flux underestimation and a 8 % flux overestimation relative to the conventional eddy covariance set-up, respectively. Corresponding coefficients of determination, R2, ranged from 0.71 to 0.94 across sites. The root-mean-square error for differences between latent heat fluxes obtained by both set-ups were small compared to the overall flux magnitude, with a mean and standard deviation of 34.23±3.2 W m−2, respectively, across sites. The spectral response characteristics of the low-cost eddy covariance set-up were inferior to the eddy covariance set-up in the inertial sub-range of the turbulent spectrum. The water vapour flux co-spectrum of the low-cost eddy covariance set-up underestimated the theoretical slope of -4/3, stronger than the conventional eddy covariance set-up. This underestimation was mainly caused by the limited response time of the low-cost thermohygrometer being longer than 1 s. We conclude that low-cost eddy covariance sensors are an alternative to conventional eddy covariance sensors when, first, replicates are required and, second, the spatial variability of fluxes of the ecosystems of interest is larger than above-reported set-up-specific differences in fluxes.
A unified code for conventional and disjunct eddy covariance analysis of trace gas measurements: An urban test case

Published: September 2019

Abstract. We describe and test a new versatile software tool for processing eddy covariance and disjunct eddy covariance data. We present an evaluation based on urban NMVOC measurements using a Proton-transfer-reaction quadrupole interface time of flight mass spectrometer (PTR-QiTOFMS) at the Innsbruck Atmospheric Observatory. The code is based on MATLAB ® and can be easily configured to process high frequency, low frequency and disjunct data. It can be applied to a wide range of analytical setups for NMVOC as well as other trace gas measurements, and is tailored towards the application of noisy data, where lag-time corrections become challenging. Several corrections and quality control routines are implemented to obtain the most reliable results. The software is open-source, so it can be extended and adjusted to specific purposes. We demonstrate the capabilities of the code based on a large urban dataset collected in Innsbruck, Austria, where ambient concentrations of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) and auxiliary trace gases were sampled with high temporal resolution above an urban canopy. Concomitant measurements of 12C and 13C isotopic NMVOC fluxes allow testing algorithms used for determinations of flux LODs and lag time analysis. We use the high frequency NMVOC data set to generate a set of disjunct data and compare these results with the true eddy covariance method. The presented analysis allows testing the theory of DEC in an urban environment. Our findings confirm that the disjunct eddy covariance method can be a reliable tool, even in complex urban environments, when fast sensors are not available, but that the increase in random error impedes the ability to detect small fluxes due to higher flux LODs.

Abstract. Long-term time-series are a fundamental prerequisite to understand and detect climate shifts and trends. Understanding the complex interplay of changing ocean variables and the biological implication for marine ecosystems requires extensive data collection for monitoring and hypothesis testing and validation of modelling products. In marginal seas, such as Mediterranean Sea, there are still monitoring gaps, both in time and in space. To contribute filling these gaps, an extensive dataset of dissolved inorganic nutrients profiles (nitrate, NO3; phosphate, PO43−; and silicate, SiO2) have been collected between 2004 and 2017 in the Western Mediterranean Sea and subjected to quality control techniques to provide to the scientific community a publicly available, long-term, quality controlled, internally consistent biogeochemical data product. The database includes 870 stations of dissolved inorganic nutrients sampled during 24 cruises, including temperature and salinity. Details of the quality control (primary and secondary quality control) applied are reported. The data are available in PANGAEA (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.904172, Belgacem et al. 2019).
Current status on the need for improved accessibility to climate change models
Authors: Añel Juan Antonio , García-Rodríguez Michael , Rodeiro Javier
Published: September 2019

Abstract. Over the last years, we have seen growing concerns on the need to publish computer code as an integral part of the research process. This has been reflected on improved publishing policies by scientific journals, addressing the relevant issues such as repositories or licensing. Here we explore the state-of-the-art of code availability and sharing for climate models, using as testbed the models from the Climate Model Intercomparison Project 5 and make some reflections on it. Our results show that there are great limitations in the access to the code of these climate models and that the climate modelling community needs to greatly improve their code sharing practices in order to comply with the best scientific practices and the most up to date editorial publishing policies.
How can geologic decision-making under uncertainty be improved?
Authors: Wilson Cristina G. , Bond Clare E. , Shipley Thomas F.
Published: September 2019

Abstract. In the geosciences, recent attention has been paid to the influence of uncertainty on expert decision-making. When making decisions under conditions of uncertainty, people tend to employ heuristics (rules of thumb) based on experience, relying on their prior knowledge and beliefs to intuitively guide choice. Over 50 years of decision-making research in cognitive psychology demonstrates that heuristics can lead to less-than-optimal decisions, collectively referred to as biases. For example, the availability bias occurs when people make judgments based on what is most dominant or accessible in memory; geoscientists who have spent the past several months studying strike-slip faults will have this terrain most readily available in their mind when interpreting new seismic data. Given the important social and commercial implications of many geoscience decisions, there is a need to develop effective interventions for removing or mitigating decision bias. In this paper, we outline the key insights from decision-making research about how to reduce bias and review the literature on debiasing strategies. First, we define an optimal decision, since improving decision-making requires having a standard to work towards. Next, we discuss the cognitive mechanisms underlying decision biases and describe three biases that have been shown to influence geoscientists' decision-making (availability bias, framing bias, anchoring bias). Finally, we review existing debiasing strategies that have applicability in the geosciences, with special attention given to strategies that make use of information technology and artificial intelligence (AI). We present two case studies illustrating different applications of intelligent systems for the debiasing of geoscientific decision-making, wherein debiased decision-making is an emergent property of the coordinated and integrated processing of human–AI collaborative teams.
Sugar, Slavery, and Creative Destruction: World-Magnates and “Coreification” in the Longue-Durée
Authors: Korzeniewicz Roberto Patricio , Payne Corey R
Published: September 2019

Recent literature in the world-systems perspective has refocused attention on questions of ‘core’ and ‘periphery’ in historical capitalism, yet rarely critically examines the underlying assumptions regarding these zones. Drawing on a developing dataset on the world’s wealthiest individuals (the World-Magnates Database), we trace the development and expansion of sugar circuits across the Atlantic world from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries to explain how the sugar commodity chain leads us to rethink some prevailing notions of core and periphery. Namely, we challenge the notion that these zones consist of geographical spaces that, since very early in the development of the world-economy, became permanently specialized in the production of raw materials (periphery) or more sophisticated manufactures (core); and that labor forces have been trans-historically relatively free/better-paid in core activities and coerced/poorly-paid in peripheral ones. We argue that, prior to the nineteenth century, the world-economy is not only characterized by the uneven and combined emergence of various forms of labor exploitation, as usually argued within a world-systems perspective, but also one in which core-like and peripheral activities (that is, those providing access to relatively greater or lesser wealth) were not yet as clearly bounded geographically as they would become in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. We find that a longue-durée analysis of sugar production by enslaved labor illustrates not merely processes of peripheralization, but of what we call coreification.
