Published: April 2022

Abstract. Fire emissions influence radiation, climate, and ecosystems through aerosol radiative effects. Meanwhile, these environmental perturbations can feed back to affect fire emissions. However, the magnitude of such fire-climate interactions remains unclear on the global scale. Here, we quantify the impacts of fire aerosols on climate through direct, indirect, and albedo effects based on the two-way simulations using a well-established chemistry-climate-vegetation model. Globally, fire emissions cause a reduction of -0.57 W m-2 in net radiation at the top of atmosphere with dominant contributions by aerosol indirect effect (AIE). Consequently, surface air temperature decreases by 0.06 °C with coolings of > 0.25 °C over eastern Amazon, western U.S., and boreal Asia. Both aerosol direct effect (ADE) and AIE contribute to such cooling while the aerosol albedo effect (AAE) exerts an offset warming especially at high latitudes. Land precipitation decreases by 0.018 mm month-1 mainly due to the inhibition in central Africa by AIE. Such rainfall deficit further reduces regional leaf area index (LAI) and lightning ignitions, leading to changes in fire emissions. Globally, fire emissions reduce by 2 %–3 % because of the fire-induced changes in humidity, lightning, and LAI. The fire-climate interactions may cause larger perturbations to climate systems with likely more fires under global warming.
Low biodegradability of particulate organic carbon mobilized from thaw slumps on the Peel Plateau, NT, and possible chemosynthesis and sorption effects
Authors: Shakil Sarah , Tank Suzanne E. , Vonk Jorien E. , Zolkos Scott
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Warming and wetting in the western Canadian Arctic are
accelerating thaw-driven mass wasting by permafrost thaw slumps, increasing
total organic carbon (TOC) delivery to headwater streams by orders of
magnitude primarily due to increases in particulate organic carbon (POC).
Upon thaw, permafrost carbon entering and transported within streams may be
mineralized to CO2 or re-sequestered into sediments. The balance
between these processes is an important uncertainty in the
permafrost–carbon–climate feedback. Using aerobic incubations of TOC from
streams affected by thaw slumps we find that slump-derived organic carbon
undergoes minimal (∼ 4 %) oxidation over a 1-month period,
indicating that this material may be predominantly destined for sediment
deposition. Simultaneous measurements of POC and dissolved organic carbon
(DOC) suggest that mineralization of DOC accounted for most of the TOC loss.
Our results indicate that mobilization of mineral-rich tills in this region
may protect carbon from mineralization via adsorption to minerals and
promote inorganic carbon sequestration via chemolithoautotrophic processes.
With intensification of hillslope mass wasting across the northern
permafrost zone, region-specific assessments of permafrost carbon fates and
inquiries beyond organic carbon decomposition are needed to constrain
drivers of carbon cycling and climate feedbacks within stream networks
affected by permafrost thaw.
The impact of hydrothermal vent geochemistry on the addition of iron to the deep ocean

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Supply of iron (Fe) to the surface ocean supports primary productivity and while hydrothermal input of Fe to the deep ocean is known to be extensive, it remains poorly constrained. Global estimates of hydrothermal Fe supply rely on using the dissolved Fe (dFe) to excess He (xs3He) ratios to upscale fluxes, but observational constraints on dFe / xs3He may be sensitive to assumptions linked to sampling and interpolation. We examined the variability in dFe / xs3He using two methods of estimation, for four vent sites with different geochemistry along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. At both Rainbow and TAG, the plume was sampled repeatedly and the range of dFe / xs3He was 4 to 63 and 4 to 87 nmol/fmol, respectively, primarily due to differences in plume age. To account for background xs3He and shifting plume position, we calibrated He values using contemporaneous dissolved Mn (dMn). Applying this approach more widely, we found dFe / xs3He ratios of 12, 4–8, 4–44, 4–86 nmol/fmol for the Menez Gwen, Lucky Strike, Rainbow and TAG hydrothermal vent sites, respectively. Differences in plume dFe / xs3He across sites were not simply related to the vent end member Fe and He fluxes. Within 40 km of the vents, the dFe / xs3He ratios decreased to 3-38 nmol/fmol, due to the precipitation and subsequent settling of particulates. The ratio of colloidal Fe to dFe was consistently higher (0.67–0.97) than the deep N. Atlantic (0.5) throughout both the TAG and Rainbow plumes, indicative of Fe exchange between dissolved and particulate phases. Our comparison of TAG and Rainbow shows there is a limit to the amount of hydrothermal Fe released from vents that can form colloids in the rising plume. Higher particle loading will enhance the longevity of the Rainbow hydrothermal plume within the deep ocean assuming particles undergo continual dissolution/disaggregation. Future studies examining the length of plume pathways required to escape the ridge valley will be important in determining Fe supply from slow spreading mid-ocean ridges to the deep ocean, along with the frequency of ultramafic sites such as Rainbow. Resolving the ridge valley bathymetry and accounting for variability in vent sources in global biogeochemical models will be key to further constraining the hydrothermal Fe flux.
How changing the height of the Antarctic ice sheet affects global climate: A mid-Pliocene case study

Published: April 2022

Abstract. Warming-induced topographic changes of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) could have significant influence on the climate. However, how large changes in the EAIS height could theoretically affect global climate have yet to be studied. Here, the influence of possible height changes of the EAIS on climate is investigated through numerical climate modeling, using the Pliocene as a test case. As expected, the investigation reveals that the reduction of ice sheet height leads to a warmer and wetter East Antarctica. However, unintuitively, both the surface air temperature and the sea surface temperature decrease over the rest of the globe. These temperature changes result from the higher air pressure over Antarctica and the corresponding lower air pressure over extra-Antarctic regions with the reduction of EAIS height. This topography effect is further confirmed by energy balance analyses. These findings could provide insights into future climate change caused by warming-induced height reduction of the Antarctic ice sheet.
3D hydrogeological parametrization using sparse piezometric data
Authors: Rambourg Dimitri , Di Chiara Raphaël , Ackerer Philippe
Published: April 2022

Abstract. When modelling contamination transport in the subsurface and aquifers, it is crucial to assess the heterogeneities of the porous medium, including the vertical distribution of the aquifer parameter. This issue is generally addressed thanks to geophysical investigations. As an alternative, a method is proposed using inversion data from a 2D calibrated flow model (solely reliant on piezometric series) as parameterization constraints for a 3D hydrogeological model. The methodology is tested via a synthetic model, ensuring full knowledge and control of its structure. The synthetic aquifer is composed of five lithofacies, distributed according to a sedimentary pattern, and functions in an unconfined regime. The level of heterogeneity for hydraulic conductivity spans three orders of magnitude. It provides the piezometric chronicles used to inverse 2D flow parameter fields and the lithological logs used to interpolate the 3D lithological model. Finally, the parameters of each facies (hydraulic conductivity and porosity) are obtained through an optimization loop, that minimizes the difference between the 2D calibrated transmissivity and the transmissivity computed with the estimated 3D facies parameters. The method estimate parameters close to the known initial parameters, even with sparse piezometric and lithological data sampling. The maximal discrepancy is 61 % of the initial value for the permeability and 16 % for the porosity (mean error 18 % and 4 %, respectively). Although the methodology does not prevent interpolation error, it succeeds in reconstructing flow and transport dynamics close to the control data. Due to the inherent limitations of the 2D inversion approach, the method only applies to the saturated zone at this point.
Brief communication: Introducing rainfall thresholds for landslide triggering based on artificial neural networks
Authors: Distefano Pierpaolo , Peres David J. , Scandura Pietro , Cancelliere Antonino
Published: April 2022

Abstract. In this communication we show how the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) can improve the performance of the rainfall thresholds for landslide early warning. Results for Sicily (Italy) show how performance of a traditional rainfall event duration and depth power law threshold, yielding a true skill statistic (TSS) of 0.50, can be improved by ANNs (TSS = 0.59). Then we show how ANNs allow other variables to be easily added, like peak rainfall intensity, with a further performance
improvement (TSS = 0.66). This may stimulate more research on the use of this powerful tool for deriving landslide early warning thresholds.
Seismic physics-based characterization of permafrost sites using surface waves
Authors: Liu Hongwei , Maghoul Pooneh , Shalaby Ahmed
Published: April 2022

Abstract. The adverse effects of climate warming on the built environment in (sub-)arctic regions are unprecedented and accelerating. The planning and design of climate-resilient northern infrastructure, as well as predicting deterioration of permafrost from climate model simulations, require characterizing permafrost sites accurately and efficiently. Here, we propose a novel algorithm for the analysis of surface waves to quantitatively estimate the physical and mechanical properties of a permafrost site. We show the existence of two types of Rayleigh waves (R1 and R2; R1 travels faster than R2). The R2 wave velocity is highly sensitive to the physical properties (e.g., unfrozen water content, ice content, and porosity) of active and frozen permafrost layers, while it is less sensitive to their mechanical properties (e.g., shear modulus and bulk modulus). The R1 wave velocity, on the other hand, depends strongly on the soil type and mechanical properties of permafrost or soil layers. In situ surface wave measurements revealed the experimental dispersion relations of both types of Rayleigh waves from which relevant properties of a permafrost site can be derived by means of our proposed hybrid inverse and multiphase poromechanical approach. Our study demonstrates the potential of surface wave techniques coupled with our proposed data-processing algorithm to characterize a permafrost site more accurately. Our proposed technique can be used in early detection and warning systems to monitor infrastructure impacted by permafrost-related geohazards and to detect the presence of layers vulnerable to permafrost carbon feedback and emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
RANS modeling of a single wind turbine wake in the unstable surface layer
Authors: Baungaard Mads , van der Laan Maarten Paul , Kelly Mark
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Unstable atmospheric conditions are often observed during the daytime over land and for significant periods offshore and are hence relevant for wake studies. A simple k–ε RANS turbulence model for simulation of wind turbine wakes in the unstable surface layer is presented, which is based on Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST). The turbulence model parametrizes buoyant production of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) without the use of an active temperature equation, and flow balance is ensured throughout the domain by modifications of the turbulence transport equations. Large eddy simulations and experimental data from the literature are used for validation of the model.

Authors: Saccone G , Mastantuoni E , Ferrara C , Sglavo G , Zizolfi B , De Angelis M.C. , Di Spiezio Sardo A
Published: April 2022

Background: Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a type of ectopic pregnancy where the fertilised egg is implanted in the muscle or fibrous tissue of the scar after a previous caesarean section. Management options for women who opted for termination of CSP include sharp curettage, dilation and evacuation (D&E), excision of trophoblastic tissues, local or systemic administration of methotrexate, bilateral hypogastric artery ligation, and selective uterine artery embolisation with curettage and/or methotrexate administration. Recently hysteroscopic resection has also been proposed as an alternative option.

Objective: To compare the surgical outcome of hysteroscopic resection with dilation and evacuation (D&E) for the treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).

Methods: Parallel-group, non-blinded, randomised clinical trial conducted at a single centre in Italy. Eligible women are those with singleton gestations at less than 9 weeks of gestation, and with thickness of myometrial layer ≥1 mm at the level of the ectopic. Inclusion criteria are women with CSP with positive embryonic/fetal heart activity who opted for termination of pregnancy. Patients will be randomised 1:1 to receive either hysteroscopic resection (i.e. intervention group) or D&E (i.e. control group). In both groups, 50 mg/m2 (based on DuBois formula for body surface area) of methotrexate (MTX) will be injected intramuscularly at the time of randomisation (day 1) and another dose at day 3. A third dose of MTX is planned in case of persistence of fetal heart activity on day 5. Participants will receive either D&E or hysteroscopic resection from 3 to 7 days after the last dose of MTX. A sample size of 54 women is planned.

Main outcome measures: The primary outcome is the success rate of the treatment protocol, defined as no requirement for further treatment until complete resolution of the CSP as demonstrated by negative beta hCG levels and absence of residual gestational material on ultrasound examination..

Study hypothesis: Hysteroscopic surgery is superior to D&E for the treatment of CSP.

What is new? The results of the trial will provide information on the best treatment for CSP.

How to dissect the pelvic nerves: from microanatomy to surgical rules. An evidence-based clinical review
Authors: Aleksandrov A , Smith A.V. , Botchorishvili R , Rabischong B
Published: April 2022

Background: Advanced gynaecological procedures often include extensive pelvic dissections, with the nervous structures involved in the disease. Nerve-sparing and preservation is a key factor in reducing postoperative morbidity.

Objectives: The goal of this review is to describe in detail the structure of the pelvic nerves and to gather information from other surgical specialties to give recommendations for safe nerve dissection applied in different gynaecological subspecialties.

Materials and methods: An extensive literature review was carried out in PubMed and Google Scholar. The search included articles concerning peripheral nerve anatomy, mechanisms of injury and different dissection techniques, with the most exhaustive being analysed for the review. Articles from different fields of medicine like orthopaedics, plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery dealing with peripheral nerve injuries and repair have been reviewed.

Results: The following review demonstrates the in-depth anatomy and mechanism of injury of the peripheral nerves, describes the different techniques for neurolysis and proposes some directions for safe nerve dissection.

Conclusion: When performing complex gynaecological surgeries, the surgeon should avoid unnecessary nerve handling, apply nerve-sparing techniques whenever possible and use the new devices to preserve the nervous structures. Advanced gynaecological surgeries should be performed in specialised centres by expert surgeons with comprehensive knowledge in neuropelveology.

What is new? To our knowledge, this is the first article focused on peripheral nerves that collects data from such a wide range of specialties in order to propose the most comprehensive recommendations that could be applied in pelvic surgery.
Clomiphene citrate stimulated cycles – additional gonadotrophin stimulation increases endometrium thickness without increasing implantation rate
Authors: Magaton I , Helmer A , Roumet M , Stute P , Von Wolff M
Published: April 2022

It is known that Clomiphene citrate (CC) reduces endometrial thickness, but it is unknown if additional gonadotrophin stimulation increases endometrial thickness and if this has an effect on implantation rate in in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The retrospective study included 263 minimal stimulation IVF-cycles stimulated with 25 mg CC per day (CC- IVF), and 161 IVF-cycles stimulated with CC plus 75IU hMG (human Menopausal Gonadotrophin) per day (CC/ hMG-IVF). Endometrial and oestradiol (E2) measurements were analysed between day -4 and 0 (0 = day of oocyte retrieval) and the association of endometrial thickness and treatment on implantation rates were studied after multiple adjustments.

It was shown that on day 0, endometrium was significantly thicker in CC/hMG-IVF versus CC-IVF cycles (9.81 ±2.68 versus 9.06 ±2.54 mm, p = 0.005). However, increased endometrial thickness did not have an effect on implantation and live birth rates.

In conclusion, gonadotrophins should not be added to low dose CC treated IVF cycles just to increase endometrial thickness as increased endometrial thickness does not increase implantation rate.

The paper presents procedure for selecting the optimal working value of voltage at 6kv busbar of the 35/6kv step down dead end substation of Kutaisi. In particular: the configuration, distribution and load of the largest feeder coming out of the substation are studied. As a result the electrically nearest and farthest nodes from 6kv busbar of substation are determined and voltage losses up to the above nodes in limit demands are calculated. The percentage of voltage losses is also determined in 6 / 0.38 kV transformers installed in electrically nearest and farthest nodes. In the maximum and minimum load modes, a preliminary assumption is obtained in the 0.38kv characteristic nodes, on the basis of which the optimal value of the working voltage at 6kv busbar of substation is established. The rms value of nodal voltages are determined Via . Based on the obtained nodal voltages, the validity of the methodology presented in the paper is confirmed. The engineering computer program "NEPLAN" is used to calculate the limit modes of the network.

Published: April 2022

The level of innovative activities in Malaysia is still low compared to that of other nations, which is attributed to the scarcity of green innovation capability (GIC) and the minimal acquisition of new technological knowledge. Studies revealed that Malaysian manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) encounter the challenges of operation and supply chain disruption and tight cash flows. These firms would not want to venture into green equipment and eco technologies if there is no certainty of promising returns. Overall, studies on sustainable management systems in the Malaysian manufacturing SMEs have revealed that firms are still in the early stages of implementation, such that sustainable manufacturing practices (SMPs) are predominantly production- and process-oriented, neglecting the importance of the product life cycle and sustainable end-of-life management. The aim of this paper is: (1) To examine the effect of GIC on firm sustainability performance (SP) and (2) To investigate the mediating effect of SMPs on relationship between GIC and firm SP. Smart PLS 3.0 was applied to analyze the data collected among 150 ISO 14001 certified local SMEs manufacturers. The study demonstrated the non-significant result between GIC and SP; while SMPs mediated the relationship between GIC and SP. This study enriches the Dynamic Capability View (DCV) by extending the sustainability model to better explain the sustainable development process in the context of Malaysian manufacturing SMEs. This article does not just inform firms on the importance of SMPs for performance but also guides firm managers towards understanding and improving their current SMPs. These results also help Malaysian policy makers in providing appropriate assistance to improve current firm operations, and subsequently, sustainability-related outcomes. Following this, various kinds of assistance (e.g., strategic planning, governance, facility, financing, and technology) can be provided to support SMEs manufacturers.

Published: April 2022

Over the past few decades, technological advances in endodontics have taken quantum leaps from conventional hand files to rotary system and from direct vision to magnification. Magnification helps the user not only to see more, but to see well. The application of magnification devices in endodontics is mainly meant for visual enhancement and improved ergonomics. This is crucial especially when long hours are spent in a narrow operating space to treat obscure microanatomy. Magnification aids assist in producing higher quality procedures due to better precision and accuracy. Using the microscope aids improved ergonomics for the operator. Using loupes or microscopes improves the clarity in treatment plan as well as its execution. The magnification aids with camera and video monitor attached, enhance the patient education and better documentation. A strong consideration should be given to adopt using the concept of magnification. Nevertheless, application of magnification in dentistry has yet to be introduced into the mainstream practice due to various influences in behavioural patterns. This review intended to explain the significances of magnification in the field of endodontics as well as use of these tools in dental procedures for better accuracy, handling and thoroughness, which will lead to fewer procedural errors.

The present random group experimental study was designed to find out the effect of yogic practices on Body Mass Index and Anxiety among middle aged hypertensive women. To achieve the purpose of the study, 30 middle aged hypertensive women from Chennai city aged between 40 years and 50 years were selected randomly using random group sampling method and were divided into two groups, i.e Experimental group I and control group II of 15 subjects each. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences due to yogic practices among middle aged hypertensive women on selected dependent variables such as Body Mass Index and Anxiety than the control group. Preliminary test was conducted on selected dependent variable before the start of the training program. Experimental group I underwent yogic practices for 8 weeks, five days a week for a maximum of one hour in the morning. The control group was kept in active rest. Post test was conducted after the training period for the two groups on the same dependent variables such as Body Mass Index and Anxiety. The data collected from the groups was statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) to determine the significant differences.
Representation of Diasporic Identity in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl
Authors: Bakyaraj R. , Pal Ghanshyam
Published: April 2022

This paper examines the representation of diasporic identity in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl from the perspective of contemporary critical approaches to diaspora. It is argued that moving beyond its preoccupation with the poetics and politics of colonialism, postcolonial literature is making forays into diasporic dynamism to the extent that contemporary fiction within its ambit can be seen as literature of diaspora to a great extent. Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl focuses on the issues pertaining to identity formation and identity crisis. National, religious, racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds that work as the determiners of one’s identity have been problematized in the novel. In the process, the idea of plurality embedded in one’s identity instead of the illusion of any singular identity has been suggested. The concern with identity politics is dominant in these literary texts against the backdrop of cross-cultural, inter-racial, multi-ethnic and transnational communication and interaction.
