The Evolution of Polymer Composition during PHA Accumulation: The Significance of Reducing Equivalents
Authors: Montano-Herrera Liliana , Laycock Bronwyn , Werker Alan , Pratt Steven
Published: March 2017

This paper presents a systematic investigation into monomer development during mixed culture Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulation involving concurrent active biomass growth and polymer storage. A series of mixed culture PHA accumulation experiments, using several different substrate-feeding strategies, was carried out. The feedstock comprised volatile fatty acids, which were applied as single carbon sources, as mixtures, or in series, using a fed-batch feed-on-demand controlled bioprocess. A dynamic trend in active biomass growth as well as polymer composition was observed. The observations were consistent over replicate accumulations. Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) was used to investigate metabolic activity through time. It was concluded that carbon flux, and consequently copolymer composition, could be linked with how reducing equivalents are generated.
Practice-Based Interdisciplinary Approach and Environmental Research
Authors: Datta Ranjan
Published: March 2017

Interdisciplinary researchers and educators, as community members, creators of knowledge, and environmental activists and practitioners, have a responsibility to build a bridge between community practice, academic scholarship, and professional contributions aimed at establishing environmental sustainability. In this paper, I focus on an undervalued area of environmental politics, practices, and often unarticulated assumptions which underlie human–environmental relations. This article challenges interdisciplinary studies that are not connected with practice by reconfiguring the meaning of a community-based, interdisciplinary approach. Drawing from works by Foucault, Latour, and Haraway, this paper first shows how to reconfigure the meaning of an interdisciplinary approach. Second, using Bourdieu and Brightman’s ethnographic studies as a framework, the paper situates practice as central to our efforts to deconstruct and replace current interdisciplinary initiatives with a practice-based approach. Through a practice-based interdisciplinary approach (PIA), environmental educators and researchers gain an awareness of and learn to make an investment in sustainable communities. As teams of environmental researchers practising in the local community, they are meaningfully involved with the community, with each other, and with the environment.
Trauma and Stem Cells: Biology and Potential Therapeutic Implications
Authors: Thurairajah Kabilan , Broadhead Matthew , Balogh Zsolt
Published: March 2017

Trauma may cause irreversible tissue damage and loss of function despite current best practice. Healing is dependent both on the nature of the injury and the intrinsic biological capacity of those tissues for healing. Preclinical research has highlighted stem cell therapy as a potential avenue for improving outcomes for injuries with poor healing capacity. Additionally, trauma activates the immune system and alters stem cell behaviour. This paper reviews the current literature on stem cells and its relevance to trauma care. Emphasis is placed on understanding how stem cells respond to trauma and pertinent mechanisms that can be utilised to promote tissue healing. Research involving notable difficulties in trauma care such as fracture non-union, cartilage damage and trauma induced inflammation is discussed further.
Microbial Biofilms and Chronic Wounds
Authors: Omar Amin , Wright J. , Schultz Gregory , Burrell Robert , Nadworny Patricia
Published: March 2017

Background is provided on biofilms, including their formation, tolerance mechanisms, structure, and morphology within the context of chronic wounds. The features of biofilms in chronic wounds are discussed in detail, as is the impact of biofilm on wound chronicity. Difficulties associated with the use of standard susceptibility tests (minimum inhibitory concentrations or MICs) to determine appropriate treatment regimens for, or develop new treatments for use in, chronic wounds are discussed, with alternate test methods specific to biofilms being recommended. Animal models appropriate for evaluating biofilm treatments are also described. Current and potential future therapies for treatment of biofilm-containing chronic wounds, including probiotic therapy, virulence attenuation, biofilm phenotype expression attenuation, immune response suppression, and aggressive debridement combined with antimicrobial dressings, are described.
Implications of Resveratrol on Glucose Uptake and Metabolism
Authors: León David , Uribe Elena , Zambrano Angara , Salas Mónica
Published: March 2017

Resveratrol—a polyphenol of natural origin—has been the object of massive research in the past decade because of its potential use in cancer therapy. However, resveratrol has shown an extensive range of cellular targets and effects, which hinders the use of the molecule for medical applications including cancer and type 2 diabetes. Here, we review the latest advances in understanding how resveratrol modulates glucose uptake, regulates cellular metabolism, and how this may be useful to improve current therapies. We discuss challenges and findings regarding the inhibition of glucose uptake by resveratrol and other polyphenols of similar chemical structure. We review alternatives that can be exploited to improve cancer therapies, including the use of other polyphenols, or the combination of resveratrol with other molecules and their impact on glucose homeostasis in cancer and diabetes.
Simultaneous Determination of Three Furanocoumarins by UPLC/MS/MS: Application to Pharmacokinetic Study of Angelica dahurica Radix after Oral Administration to Normal and Experimental Colitis-Induced Rats
Authors: Hwang Youn-Hwan , Yang Hye , Ma Jin
Published: March 2017

In traditional oriental medicine, Angelica dahurica Radix (ADR) is used in the treatment of gastrointestinal, respiratory, neuromuscular, and dermal disorders. We evaluated the pharmacokinetic profiles of oxypeucedanin, imperatorin, and isoimperatorin, major active ingredients of ADR, in normal and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis rats. A rapid, sensitive, and validated UPLC/MS/MS method was established for evaluating the pharmacokinetics of three furanocoumarins. After oral administration of ADR (0.5 and 1.0 g/kg), blood samples were collected periodically from the tail vein. In colitis rats, the time to reach the peak concentration (Tmax) of imperatorin and isoimperatorin was significantly delayed (p < 0.05). Lower peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and longer mean residence times for all furanocoumarins were also observed (p < 0.05) compared with normal rats. There was no significant difference in the area under the plasma concentration–time curve or elimination half-lives. Thus, the delayed Tmax and decreased Cmax, with no influence on the elimination half-life, could be colitis-related changes in the drug-absorption phase. Therefore, the prescription and use of ADR in colitis patients should receive more attention.

Published: March 2017

Image‐based dietary assessment methods have the potential to address respondent burden and improve engagement in the task of recording for dietary interventions. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with the willingness of adults to take images of food and beverages using a mobile food record (mFR) application. A combined sample of 212 young adults and 73 overweight and obese adults completed a 4‐day mobile food record on two occasions and a follow‐up usability questionnaire. About 74% of participants stated they would record using the mFR for a longer period compared with a written record (29.4 ± 69.3 vs. 16.1 ± 42.6 days respectively; p < 0.0005). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify those who were more likely to record mFR in the top tertile (≥14 days). After adjusting for age and gender, those with a BMI ≥ 25 were 1.68 times more likely (Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Interval: 1.02–2.77) than those with BMI < 25 to state a willingness to record with the mFR for ≥ 14 days. The greater willingness of overweight and obese individuals to record dietary intake using an mFR needs further examination to determine if this translates to more accurate estimates of energy intake.
A Comprehensive Analysis on Wearable Acceleration Sensors in Human Activity Recognition
Authors: Janidarmian Majid , Roshan Fekr Atena , Radecka Katarzyna , Zilic Zeljko
Published: March 2017

Sensor-based motion recognition integrates the emerging area of wearable sensors with novel machine learning techniques to make sense of low-level sensor data and provide rich contextual information in a real-life application. Although Human Activity Recognition (HAR) problem has been drawing the attention of researchers, it is still a subject of much debate due to the diverse nature of human activities and their tracking methods. Finding the best predictive model in this problem while considering different sources of heterogeneities can be very difficult to analyze theoretically, which stresses the need of an experimental study. Therefore, in this paper, we first create the most complete dataset, focusing on accelerometer sensors, with various sources of heterogeneities. We then conduct an extensive analysis on feature representations and classification techniques (the most comprehensive comparison yet with 293 classifiers) for activity recognition. Principal component analysis is applied to reduce the feature vector dimension while keeping essential information. The average classification accuracy of eight sensor positions is reported to be 96.44% ± 1.62% with 10-fold evaluation, whereas accuracy of 79.92% ± 9.68% is reached in the subject-independent evaluation. This study presents significant evidence that we can build predictive models for HAR problem under more realistic conditions, and still achieve highly accurate results.
Modeling Post-Fire Mortality in Pure and Mixed Forest Stands in Portugal—A Forest Planning-Oriented Model

Published: March 2017

Assessing impacts of management strategies may allow designing more resistant forests to wildfires. Planning-oriented models to predict the effect of stand structure and forest composition on mortality for supporting fire-smart management decisions, and allowing its inclusion in forest management optimization systems were developed. Post-fire mortality was modeled as a function of measurable forest inventory data and projections over time in 165 pure and 76 mixed forest stands in Portugal, collected by the 5th National Forest Inventory plots (NFI) plus other sample plots from ForFireS project, intercepted within 2006–2008 wildfire perimeters’ data. Presence and tree survival were obtained by examining 2450 trees from 16 species one year after the wildfire occurrence. A set of logistic regression models were developed under a three-stage modeling system: firstly multiple fixed-effects at stand-level that comprises a sub-model to predict mortality from wildfire; and another for the proportion of dead trees on stands killed by fire. At tree-level due to the nested structure of the data analyzed (trees within stands), a mixed-effect model was developed to estimate mortality among trees in a fire event. The results imply that the variation of tree mortality decreases when tree diameter at breast height increases. Moreover, the relative mortality increases with stand density, higher altitude and steeper slopes. In the same conditions, conifers are more prone to die than eucalyptus and broadleaves. Pure stands of broadleaves exhibit noticeably higher fire resistance than mixed stands of broadleaves and others species composition.

Les communautés végétales aquatiques des étangs de la plaine du Forez
Authors: Guillerme Nicolas
Published: March 2017

Les étangs de la plaine du Forez se localisent au centre du département de la Loire. Couvrant une superficie de 1 500 hectares pour 330 étangs, ils constituent une zone humide intérieure remarquable mais encore peu connue sur le plan écologique. Aucune étude concernant les différentes associations végétales présentes n'avait pas été menée. Depuis 1999, quatre-vingts étangs ont été visités. Quarante et une associations végétales aquatiques différentes ont été observées. Comme de nombreux auteurs l'ont déjà démontré, ce type d'écosystème présente une très grande diversité d'associations végétales. Il est certain que cet inventaire est encore à compléter, car la détermination, la découverte de ces milieux nécessitent des compétences et des conditions particulières, et aussi un peu de chance.

Différences de fréquences d'occurrence entre espèces de micromycètes parasitant une même espèce de plante-hôte ; procédure d'appréciation statistique
Authors: Béguinot Jean
Published: March 2017

The differences of prevalence among species of micro-fungi that parasitize a same host-plant species ; how to evaluate their statistical significance, using a newly designed test.

Beyond simply recording the list of parasitic microfungi that occur within a given region -which is a first necessity -some quantitative aspects regarding the distribution of species may also be of additional interest. Among these aspects, the differences between the occurring frequencies of different species of microfungi that parasitize a same host-plant species feature special interest. The subject, however, raises a specific issue regarding the testing for statistical significance of the differences between the recorded occurrence frequencies, since the common practice, while sampling parasitic micro-fungi, involves the census of fungi occurring on host but almost never the complementary census of the absences of the same fungi. Accordingly, enumerative census are available only and not the corresponding frequencies. As knowing those frequencies is mandatory for common statistical tests to be performed, some special adaptation of those tests has to be considered beforehand. Accordingly, a modified x2 test has then been designed (see the Appendice in English) to assess appropriately the statistical significance of the gaps between the frequencies of occurrence of different species of fungi parasitizing a same host-species.

This relevant methodology is then applied to the data collected during a survey of the distributions of Erysiphales, Peronosporales, Ustilaginales and Uredinales in Southern Burgundy (mainly Saône-et-Loire department).

The most obvious (statistically significant) differences between the levels of occurrence of different micro-fungi species parasitic on a same given host-plant species are thus disclosed and a particular attention is devoted to the comparison between the respective frequencies of autoecious and heteroecious Rust-species that parasitize a same host-plant species. Autoecious species are generally considered more evolved than heteroecious ones and, accordingly, are logically expected to take benefit from the easier completion of their simpler, one-host life-cycle. Surprisingly, this expected advantage does not reveal statistically significant when occurrence frequencies are compared between heteroecious and autoecious species occurring on a same host, at least on the basis of our recorded data. This trend, however, needs to be substantiate by further investigations based on additionnai similar works in the same and several other regions.

Thersamolycaena dispar (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae), the large Copper, in the Dombes (Ain). Habitat use and conservation.

Thersamolycaena dispar was found in the Dombes predominantly in meadow habitat but also in herbaceous waste and fallow lands. In hay-meadows where the hay-making heavily threatens the survival of eggs and larvae, the proportion of females was lower than in other habitats. We hypothesize that hay-meadows act in Dombes as demographic sinks whereas other habitats that are not involved in the intensified agricultural system might be demographic sources which it would be important to preserve in the future.

Brønsted acid-mediated cyclization–dehydrosulfonylation/reduction sequences: An easy access to pyrazinoisoquinolines and pyridopyrazines
Authors: Rao Ramana Sreenivasa , Ramanathan Chinnasamy Ramaraj
Published: March 2017

An efficient and alternative synthetic approach has been developed to prepare various N-(arylethyl)piperazine-2,6-diones from 4-benzenesulfonyliminodiacetic acid and primary amines using carbonyldiimidazole in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMAP at ambient temperature. Piperazine-2,6-diones are successfully transformed to pharmaceutically useful pyridopyrazines or pyrazinoisoquinolines and ene-diamides via an imide carbonyl group activation strategy using a Brønsted acid. Subsequent dehydrosulfonylation reactions of the ene-diamides, in a one pot manner, smoothly transformed them to substituted pyrazinones. A concise synthesis of praziquantel (1) has also been achieved through this method.

« Dépassement » ou effacement du parti socialiste (2012-2017) ?
Authors: Lefebvre Rémi
Published: March 2017

Avec l’élection d’un ancien premier secrétaire du parti à l’Elysée et d’une majorité socialiste à l’Assemblée, l’année 2012 a marqué l’apogée du parti socialiste, qui dirigeait alors la quasi-totalité des régions, 60 % des départements et les deux tiers des villes. À l’approche de la fin du quinquennat, le PS semble menacé de mort. Incapable d’infléchir la ligne sociale-libérale choisie par François Hollande, le parti a dû assumer les choix de l’exécutif, dont les effets ont été dévastateurs sur le plan interne comme d’un point de vue électoral. Dépolitisé et désidéologisé, le PS a vu son appareil, largement construit autour des collectivités, se décomposer avec la perte de nombreuses villes, agglomérations et régions. Rémi Lefebvre retrace ici cinq années d’effacement du parti socialiste, au cours desquelles il est passé d’une position dominante à une situation de déshérence, sinon encore de disparition.
Impact of Assimilating CYGNSS Data on Tropical Cyclone Analyses and Forecasts in a Regional OSSE Framework

Published: March 2017

AbstractThe impact of assimilating ocean surface wind observations from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is examined in a high-resolution Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) framework for tropical cyclones (TCs). CYGNSS is a planned National
Aeronautics and Space Administration constellation of microsatellites that utilizes existing GNSS satellites to retrieve surface wind speed. In the OSSE, CYGNSS wind speed data are simulated using output from a “nature run” as truth. In a case study using the regional Hurricane
Weather Research and Forecasting modeling system and the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation data assimilation scheme, analyses of TC position, structure, and intensity, together with large-scale variables, are improved due to the assimilation of the additional surface wind data. These results
indicate the potential importance of CYGNSS ocean surface wind speed data and furthermore that the assimilation of directional information would add further value to TC analyses and forecasts.
Numerical Analysis of Propeller During Heave Motion Near a Free Surface
Authors: Lian-zhou Wang , Chun-yu Guo , Lei Wan , Yu-min Su
Published: March 2017

AbstractThe interaction between the free surface and the propeller during heave motion near the free surface was analyzed numerically using the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method. The coupling effect between the rotation and heave motions of the propeller was modeled
using a motion equation developed in this study; the heave motion was simplified as a periodic motion based on the sinusoidal motion law; and the transfer of numerical values for unsteady flow fields was implemented using overset grid technology. A comparative analysis of the unsteady thrust
coefficient and torque coefficient under different advance coefficient conditions was conducted, and the air ingestion phenomenon of the propeller was analyzed. The research highlighted the interaction between the coupled heave and rotation motions of the propeller and the free surface. The
results showed that, when the advance coefficient was low, the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller during heave motion near a free surface was strongly influenced by the free surface and that a remarkable interaction existed between the propeller and the free surface. As the advance
coefficient increased, the interaction between the propeller and the free surface weakened. The air ingestion that the propeller exerts upon the free surface during heave motion is a complex coupled superposition process. This phenomenon is correlated to the motion state and working time of
the propeller, as well as the distance between the propeller and the free surface.

Context: 

Recent case reports on malignant hyperthermia (MH)-like syndrome in physically active populations indicate potential associations among MH, exertional heat stroke (EHS), and exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER). However, an expert consensus for clinicians working with these populations is lacking.

Objective: 

To provide current expert consensus on the (1) definition of MH; (2) history, etiology, and pathophysiology of MH; (3) epidemiology of MH; (4) association of MH with EHS and ER; (5) identification of an MH-like syndrome; (6) recommendations for acute management of an MH-like syndrome; (7) special considerations for physically active populations; and (8) future directions for research.

Setting: 

An interassociation task force was formed by experts in athletic training, exercise science, anesthesiology, and emergency medicine. The “Round Table on Malignant Hyperthermia in Physically Active Populations” was convened at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, September 17–18, 2015.

Conclusions: 

Clinicians should consider an MH-like syndrome when a diagnosis of EHS or ER cannot be fully explained by clinical signs and symptoms presented by a patient or when recurrent episodes of EHS or ER (or both) are unexplained. Further research is required to elucidate the genetic and pathophysiological links among MH, EHS, and ER.
Different Sonographic Faces of Ectopic Pregnancy

Published: March 2017

Vaginal bleeding in the first trimester has wide differential diagnoses, the most common being a normal early intrauterine pregnancy, with other potential causes including spontaneous abortion and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is approximately 2% of all reported pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Clinical signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often nonspecific. History of pelvic pain with bleeding and positive β-human chorionic gonadotropin should raise the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Knowledge of the different locations of ectopic pregnancy is of utmost importance, in which ultrasound imaging plays a crucial role. This pictorial essay depicts sonographic findings and essential pitfalls in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.
Counting Separable Polynomials in ℤ/n[x]
Authors: Polak Jason K. C.
Published: March 2017

For a commutative ring R, a polynomialf ∈ R[x] is called separable if R[x]/f is a separable R-algebra. We derive formulae for the number of separable polynomials when R = /n, extending a result of L. Carlitz. For instance, we show that the number of polynomials in /n[x] that are separable is ϕ(n)nd Πi(1 − ), where n = is the prime factorisation of n and ϕ is Euler’s totient function.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Measurement Procedure for Vehicle Components - Part 21: Immunity to Electromagnetic Fields, 30 Mhz to 18 Ghz, Absorber-Lined Chamber
Authors:   Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standards
Published: March 2017

This part of SAE J1113 specifies test methods and procedures for
testing electromagnetic immunity (of vehicle radiation sources) of
electronic components for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
To perform this test method, the electronic module along with the
wiring harness (prototype or standard test harness) and peripheral
devices will be subjected to the electromagnetic disturbance
generated inside an absorber-lined chamber. the electromagnetic
disturbances considered in this part of SAE J1113 are limited to
continuous narrowband electromagnetic fields.

Immunity measurements of complete vehicles are generally only
performed at the vehicle manufacturer. The reasons, for example,
are high costs of a large absorber-lined chamber, preserving the
secrecy of prototypes, or the large number of different vehicle
models. Therefore, for research, development and quality control, a
laboratory measuring method shall be applied by the
manufacturers.

Part 1 of SAE J1113 specifies the general, definitions,
practical use, and basic principles of the test procedure.

Survey of Known Protocols
Authors:   Vehicle Architecture For Data Communications Standards
Published: March 2017

This SAE Information Report is a summary comparison of existing protocols found in manufacturing, automotive, aviation, military, and computer applications which provide background or may be applicable for Class C application. The intent of this report is to present a summary of each protocol, not an evaluation. This is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all applicable protocols. The form for evaluation of a protocol exists in this paper and new protocols can be submitted on this form to the committee for consideration in future revisions of this report. This report contains a table which provides a side-by-side comparison of each protocol considered. The subsequent section provides a more detailed examination of the protocol attributes. Many of the protocols do not specify a method for one or more of the criteria. In these circumstances 'under defined' or 'not specified' will appear under the heading. Certain protocol specifics or details are omitted for the sake of brevity. Every attempt is made to provide the interest reader with the necessary references for further research.

Authors:   Motor Vehicle Council
Published: March 2017

This SAE Standard establishes a common specification and ordering code for hydraulic filter assemblies and hydraulic filter elements, and establishes minimum performance criteria and test methods. This document establishes two filter diameter sizes, five basic micron ratings, and two basic collapse ratings. These classifications will satisfy most hydraulic filter applications, and thereby can minimize inventory requirements for hydraulic filter elements.
AERODYNAMIC TESTING OF ROAD VEHICLES—TESTING METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Authors:   Road Vehicle Aerodynamics Forum Committee
Published: March 2017

The scope of this SAE Information Report is confined to wind-tunnel testing, although it is recognized that many aspects of the aerodynamic characteristics of road vehicles can be investigated in other test facilities (such as water-tanks) or, especially, on the road. For example, coastdown testing is often used to determine aerodynamic drag (either in isolation or as part of the total resistance), and artificial gust generators are used to investigate the sensitivity of vehicles to cross-wind gusts.

Also excluded from the present Report are climatic wind-tunnel tests of road vehicles, which are defined in more detail in Section 3.

The Report covers the aerodynamic requirements of a wind-tunnel for automotive testing, together with the facility equipment needed and the requirements affecting the test vehicle or model. The test methods and procedures described here include those for six-component force measurements and measurements of pressures and velocities both on the vehicle/model surface and in the surrounding flow-field.

Flow visualization techniques are outlined, with reference to the detailed coverage in a related SAE Information Report (2). In addition, the reduction, analysis, and presentation of wind-tunnel data are considered, with further references to associated SAE Information Reports (3,4) on corrections to be applied for wind-tunnel blockage effects. Finally, methods are discussed for the validation of the wind-tunnel data, e.g., by tunnel-to-road correlation studies.

As already indicated, this document has been prepared in conjunction with a number of other SAE Information Reports and Recommended Practices (1–5), each of which provides greater detail than is given here on its particular aspect of automotive aerodynamic testing.
