Characteristics of quadriceps fatigue induced by continuous maximal knee extension among young and elderly adult men with different levels of physical activity
Authors: Zhou Sihong , Zhang Xini , Yang Feng , Zhou Zhi , Zheng Lixin , Fu Weijie
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:

Skeletal muscle strength can be impacted by various factors. However, the possible effects of different forms of exercises on the elderly’s muscle strength remain unknown. Furthermore, whether the level of physical activity influences the effects of an exercise-based training also remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the characteristics of fatigued quadriceps by continuous maximum knee extension movements among different male groups under different physical conditions.

METHODS:

A total of 36 male participants (24 elderly and 12 youth) were divided into three groups, namely, young male group, and two groups of elderly participants: physically active and physically inactive. All groups underwent two sets of fatigue procedures. They initially finished 30 isokinetic maximum knee extension contractions at 60[Formula: see text]/s. Three days later, they completed 50 isokinetic maximum knee extension at 180[Formula: see text]/s. Then, their muscle strength characteristics were assessed.

RESULTS:

During the 60[Formula: see text]/s fatigue test the total work of the dominant and non-dominant quadriceps in the two elderly groups was significantly lower than that of the young male group ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Moreover, the total work of dominant quadriceps in physically active elderly male group was significantly higher than physically inactive male group in the middle (71.1 [Formula: see text] 12.0 vs. 52.0 [Formula: see text] 18.5 J) and the last third (60.9 [Formula: see text] 8.6 vs. 44.4 [Formula: see text] 15.4 J, [Formula: see text] 0.05). During the 180[Formula: see text]/s fatigue test the total work of dominant and non-dominant quadriceps in young male group was significantly higher than their elderly counterparts ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Moreover, the total work of dominant quadriceps in physically active elderly male group was significantly higher than in the physically inactive male group in the first (48.9 [Formula: see text] 4.6 vs. 31.7 [Formula: see text] 6.3 J), the middle (41.2 [Formula: see text] 4.8 vs. 26.1 [Formula: see text] 3.5 J), and the last third (33.3 [Formula: see text] 7.0 vs. 20.3 [Formula: see text] 3.1 J, [Formula: see text] 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

Exercise is associated with improved function and fatigue resistance of the quadriceps in elderly people. Moreover, the implications of the bilateral quadriceps’ imbalance in this group may be of functional importance and should thus be clinically considered.
Preservation and archiving of digital media
Authors: Anderson Clifford B.
Published: September 2020

This paper provides a brief history of the Vanderbilt Television News Archive that was established in 1968 with the goal of recording and preserving national news programming on the three major networks at the time (ABC, NBC, and CBS). The archive has faced several challenges as it evolved (it now covers representative news from the Fox and CNN cable networks) - most notably financial and legal issues – who really “owns” the news? Even today archiving digital news remains financially and legally challenged as the number of news networks increase and privacy laws emerge, resulting in the creation of “piracy archives”. The author also touches on the many ongoing issues that need to be addressed; e.g. the number of copies to be created, the importance of metadata, the technical requirements, what qualifies for preservation, and the ever-present issue of sustainability.

During the inaugural 2020 NISO Plus Conference that was held from February 23–25, 2020 in Baltimore, MD, several “Ask the Expert” sessions were scheduled so that attendees could have access to experienced information industry executives who could address questions on a variety of topics. This brief paper is based upon the session on the topic of the preservation of scholarly information featuring Stephanie Orphan, Director of Publisher Relations at Portico and Craig Van Dyck, Executive Director of the CLOCKSS Archive. The experts first fielded questions from the moderator, Wendy Queen, Director of Project Muse, who asked about preservation challenges, the role that scholars should play in having their works preserved, the preservation of outputs from thought-leadership conferences such as NISO Plus, standards across publishing that create a burden for preservation, etc. In the remaining time they answered questions from the audience.
An overview of the 2020 NISO plus inaugural annual conference: A grand experiment
Authors: Lawlor Bonnie
Published: September 2020

This paper offers an overview of the highlights of the 2020 NISO Plus inaugural conference that was held in Baltimore, MD from February 23–February 25, 2020. This conference replaced what would have been the 62nd Annual NFAIS conference. However, NISO and NFAIS merged in June 2019, resulting in the conference being renamed NISO Plus and taking on a new format. The goal was to continue some of the best traditions of past NFAIS conferences while building in time for discussions. With two and a half days of networking and education on tap, attendees had the opportunity to learn about emerging and exciting areas of change and development such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and new content types such as Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality. There were very practical sessions that focused on the status of standards, current issues and problems, with the goal of working towards innovative solutions and developing plans for moving forward.
iHDT++: improving HDT for SPARQL triple pattern resolution
Authors: Hernández-Illera Antonio , Martínez-Prieto Miguel A. , Fernández Javier D. , Fariña Antonio
Published: September 2020

RDF self-indexes compress the RDF collection and provide efficient access to the data without a previous decompression (via the so-called SPARQL triple patterns). HDT is one of the reference solutions in this scenario, with several applications to lower the barrier of both publication and consumption of Big Semantic Data. However, the simple design of HDT takes a compromise position between compression effectiveness and retrieval speed. In particular, it supports scan and subject-based queries, but it requires additional indexes to resolve predicate and object-based SPARQL triple patterns. A recent variant, HDT++, improves HDT compression ratios, but it does not retain the original HDT retrieval capabilities. In this article, we extend HDT++ with additional indexes to support full SPARQL triple pattern resolution with a lower memory footprint than the original indexed HDT (called HDT-FoQ). Our evaluation shows that the resultant structure, iHDT++ , requires 70 - 85% of the original HDT-FoQ space (and up to 48 - 72% for an HDT Community variant). In addition, iHDT++ shows significant performance improvements (up to one level of magnitude) for most triple pattern queries, being competitive with state-of-the-art RDF self-indexes.

Authors: Xiao Wenbin , Zhu Shunying , Chen Qiucheng
Published: September 2020

In order to overcome the inaccuracy of current research results of traffic flow prediction, this paper proposes a prediction method for traffic flow with small time granularity at intersection based on probability network. This method takes one minute as time granularity, collects traffic data such as cross-section flow, section traffic flow velocity data, traffic density, road occupancy, section delay and steering ratio by using RFID technology, and analyzes and processes the data. By introducing Bayesian network in probabilistic network and combining K-nearest neighbor method, historical data and predicted traffic flow state are classified to realize the prediction of traffic flow with small time granularity at intersections. The experimental results show that this method has high prediction accuracy and reliability, and is a feasible traffic flow prediction method.

Published: September 2020

O camurupim Megalops atlanticus (Valenciennes, 1847) é amplamente distribuído em águas tropicais e subtropicais. Devido a sua superexplotação, compõe a lista brasileira de espécies ameaçadas. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico para analisar os estudos sobre M. atlanticus procurando identificar as lacunas de conhecimento, bem como propor medidas que auxiliem o processo de conservação dessa espécie. A seleção dos artigos foi através do protocolo Prisma (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). O mecanismo de “busca avançada” foi usado nas bases de dados Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus e Scielo, com a palavra-chave “Megalops atlanticus”. As variáveis dos artigos foram divididas em três seções: dinâmica populacional, conservação e exploração. Além disso, foram registrados o local e o habitat de cada estudo. Foram selecionados 25 artigos, a maioria publicada em 2018, distribuídos ao longo do continente americano com apenas um trabalho no território brasileiro. O Brasil não possui monitoramento eficaz da sobrexplotação de M. atlanticus, evidenciando que a implementação de programas de monitoramento é prioritária. Mesmo com vulnerabilidade reconhecida, ainda há poucosestudos sobre essa e spécie no Brasil. Pesquisas sobre a biologia da espécie são necessáriaspara auxiliar a sua conservação. Assim, os resultados apresentados podem estimular futuras pesquisas em território brasileiro, contribuindo para a preservação da espécie.Palavras-chave: dinâmica populacional, manejo, Megalopidae.
Grenzen eigenständiger Organisierung
Authors: Schmidt Dorothea
Published: September 2020

Ein stärker sozial- als politikgeschichtlicher Blick auf die russische Revolution vom Oktober 1917 und die deutsche Revolution vom November 1918 eröffnet die Perspektive auf die dahinterliegenden Klassenkonflikte. Im spät industrialisierten Russland führte der Klassenkampf von oben zu spontanen Organisierungen auf Betriebsebene und zur Radikalisierung des Klassenkampfs von unten. In Deutschland bestanden demgegenüber institutionell abgesicherte Möglichkeiten zur Organisierung. Gerade deren Erfolge erwiesen sich mit der Politik des »Burgfriedens« ab 1914 als verhängnisvoll. Klassenkonflikte wurden auf Kosten der Arbeiterschaft stillgelegt. Arbeiter- und Soldatenräte wurden später zermalmt.

Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) Flower Extract (BPFE) and Its Use as a pH-Dependent Natural Colorant
Authors: Campbell Sean Michael , Pearson Brian , Marble Stephen Christoper
Published: September 2020

Butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea), a twining vine native to Southeast Asia, produces deep blue to purple flowers that bloom nearly year-round in ideal conditions. When extracted in a liquid, the addition of a mild acid such as lemon or lime juice turns the naturally deep blue to purple color into a much lighter pink or purple color, giving the extract its color-changing ability. This new 5-page publication of the UF/IFAS Environmental Horticulture Department outlines the use of butterfly pea flower extract (BPFE) as a pH-dependent natural colorant, including an explanation of the science behind the color change, detailed parameters for flower extraction, instructions for storage and processing of the extract as well as a discussion of some of the other benefits of using BPFE.  http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ep573

Geosmithia Species in Florida: Common Fungal Symbionts of Wood-Boring Bark Beetles
Authors: Huang Yin-Tse , Hulcr Jiri
Published: September 2020

Geosmithia are fungi associated with wood-boring bark beetles. Most Geosmithia species do no harm to host trees, but the canker-causing Geosmithia morbida and its beetle vector, the walnut twig beetle, cause the disease complex known as thousand cankers disease on walnut trees. Continuous surveys in Florida have found neither Geosmithia morbida nor its beetle vector in the state, but many native Geosmithia species have been recovered. These native species look similar to the pathogenic fungus but are harmless to their plant hosts. This 4-page fact sheet written by Yin-Tse Huang and Jiri Hulcr and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation provides basic guidelines to sample Geosmithia species in the field and information for distinguishing the plant pathogenic Geosmithia morbida from other Geosmithia species. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr412

Flea Beetles of the Genus Altica: Altica spp. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Phillips Elenor F. , Gillett-Kaufman Jennifer Lynn
Published: September 2020

Flea beetles are in the largest subfamily (Alticinae) of the family Chrysomelidae, or leaf beetles (Furth 1988). The name Altica is derived from the Greek word haltikos, which translates to good jumper. Although this group of insects are named flea beetles, this is not because the form of the body resembles fleas, but rather because they have strong hind legs allowing them to jump long distances like true fleas (Siphonaptera). Their great jumping skills are thought to have evolved as a mechanism to escape from predators. This document is also available on the Featured Creatures website at http://entnemdept.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1238

A Homeowner’s Guide to the Living Shoreline Permit Exemption Part 1: Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Authors: Barry Savanna C. , Martin Sara , Sparks Eric
Published: September 2020

“Living shoreline” is a term that describes coastal shoreline stabilization interventions that rely on natural elements such as native vegetation and oyster reefs to protect property. Living shorelines typically involve construction or placement of materials within state waters (public lands that occur waterward of the mean high tide line). The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and other entities regulate the placement of living shorelines through a permitting process to ensure project activities do not conflict with the public interest. To streamline the approval process for environmentally beneficial projects such as living shorelines, the DEP has defined an exemption for small-scale living shoreline projects that meet certain criteria. This 17-page fact sheet written by Savanna Barry, Sara Martin, and Eric Sparks and published by the UF/IFAS Florida Sea Grant College Program provides a guide to completing the exemption forms. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg187

Authors: Mylavarapu Rao S. , Brym Zachary , Monserrate Luis , Mulvaney Michael J.
Published: September 2020

Hemp is an annual herbaceous plant that may be grown for fiber, seed, or flowers. Starting in April 2020, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services began accepting applications for cultivation of hemp in Florida, with the potential for building a $20–$30 billion industry in the state. The statewide UF/IFAS Industrial Hemp Pilot Project is researching aspects of agronomic production for hemp cultivation. While a few other state soil testing laboratories provide soil tests and nutrient recommendations based on research and experience, at this time no Florida-specific data on nutrient requirements and fertilization are available. This new 5-page article, written by Rao Mylavarapu, Zachary Brym, Luis Monserrate, and Michael J. Mulvaney and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Soil and Water Sciences, provides a summary of published and personal communications from different states on hemp fertilization.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ss689

Data of long-term researches (2015–2018) in southern forest-steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan, is justified theoretically and experimentally the mode of irrigation of potatoes on leached chernozems of unsatisfactory, satisfactory and good ameliorative condition of irrigated lands. For the growing periods of potatoes with different heat and moisture supply, the number of watering, the timing of their implementation, irrigation and irrigation norms are established. On lands with unsatisfactory meliorative state the number of irrigation depending on weather conditions of potato vegetation period varied from 0 to 3 (1.5 on average) with average irrigation norm – 990 m3/ha. With satisfactory meliorative state of lands the number of irrigation on average increased from 0 to 4 (2.3 on average) with irrigation norm – 1305 m3/ha. On lands with good meliorative state the number of irrigation was the highest – from 1 to 5 (3 on average) with average irrigation irrigation norm is 1653 m3/ha. It was noted that in the dry periods of potato vegetation the greatest number of watering was carried out (3–5 watering), and in the wet periods (2017) watering was not carried out except for the area with a good reclamation state, where only one irrigation was carried out by the norm of 550 m3/ha. Water consumption of potato was studied in dynamics as a whole during the growing season and the months of the growing season depending on weather conditions of vegetation period and land reclamation condition of irrigated lands, as well as in the control (without irrigation). The lowest total water consumption was in the area without irrigation and averaged 226.8 mm. In irrigated areas, its values increased to 319-353.4 mm. The average daily water consumption varied from 2.12 to 3.3 mm. The highest rates of potato water consumption were observed in June and July, and the lowest – in May and August. In the total water consumption of potatoes on the site without irrigation, the largest share was occupied by atmospheric precipitation and in addition to them the arrival of moisture from the soil. Irrigation water was used in irrigated areas along with precipitation, the share of which was 30.2–46.1 %.

The effect of climate changes on mean annual air temperature (MAAT) with AOGCM models in Khuzestan province in Iran is investigated in this study. Seven models of AR4 AOGCM models including HADCM3, CNRMCM3, CSIROMK3.0, GFDLCM2.0, INMCM3.0, IPSLCM4, and BCM2.0 for future period (2040–2069) under A2, B1 and A1B emission scenarios is considered with respect to observed period (1982–2011). For downscaling AOGCMs data, LARS-WG model was used. Investigation of (MAAT) in 9 selected stations during 1982 to 2011 years showed increasing trend of mean slop in all stations. Maximum and minimum increasing changes occurred under A2 scenario in Shahid abbaspour Dam and Dezful stations with 2.1 °C and B1 scenario in Abadan station with 1.3 °C and A1B scenario in Abadan station with 1.9 °C. Spatial analysis of (MAAT) under two GHG emission scenarios for whole of Khuzestan province showed increasing changes from northwest to southeast of study area. The results has also showed that there are more uncertainties in AOGCM models than emission scenarios.
Enxertos Atlânticos: Apontamentos sobre Tropicalidade e Circulação de Plantas na Guiana Francesa à Época da Restauração Bourbon (C. 1815 – C. 1830)
Authors: Coelho Braga Daniel Dutra
Published: September 2020

O artigo aborda a circulação de plantas no espaço colonial francês à época da monarquia parlamentar, utilizando como fonte publicações produzidas pela Marinha francesa e registros da comunicação mantida entre atores baseados tanto em espaços coloniais quanto em espaços metropolitanos. Analisam-se principalmente cartas referentes ao debate sobre a prática da enxertia em plantações de café na Guiana francesa. Conclui-se que práticas de cultivo foram continuamente atualizadas em função da comunicação estabelecida no interior do Ministério da Marinha e das Colônias francês. Assim, demonstra-se em que medida a apropriação cultural de regiões intertropicais por parte de Estados centralizados europeus se deu mediante práticas situadas em ecologias específicas, para as quais colaboraram, em rede, tanto atores em espaços coloniais como em espaços metropolitanos, e em função das quais os “trópicos”, enquanto espaço conceitual, tornaram-se cada vez mais complexos.
A Negra África Cobiçada: Entre Filantropia e Pirataria
Authors: De Sousa Gustavo Pinto
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo faz parte do projeto de pesquisa “No tribunal das contendas: uma análise comparativa do direito das gentes no Brasil e em Portugal 1839-1850”. As análises abaixo levaram em consideração a situação política das nações brasileira, britânica e portuguesa diante da discussão da supressão do tráfico internacional de escravos. O ponto de partida foi problematizar como a “cobiça” da África negra iluminou um debate sobre filantropia, humanitarismo, pirataria e diáspora no universo do Atlântico Sul. A negra África cobiçada discute, portanto, como a atividade de comércio negreiro transformou-se uma atividade ilícita - tráfico - no processo de diásporas pelo oceano Atlântico. E como esse novo cenário polarizou sujeitos legítimos – filantropos, humanistas – e homens infames – piratas. Por fim, o artigo avança em um estudo sobre o tráfico internacional de escravos com uma abordagem das sensibilidades.

A Feminist's Call for Anarchy
Authors: Jacocks Marlee
Published: September 2020

While Ursula Le Guin’s novel The Dispossessed has been categorized as a science fction and utopiannovel, I argue that it should also be considered a feminist utopia. With infuences from feminismand Marxism, Le Guin uses both theories to create a comparison between two political systems—anarchy and democracy—to ultimately reveal that anarchy is more conducive for feminism. Theanarchic system of government provides women with more agency than capitalism, becausewomen are free from class and gender oppression. Theorists such as Lewis Call and Daniel Jaeckledefne the anarchy that is established in The Dispossessed. The distinct female characters in TheDispossessed demonstrate the clear diferences between the two political systems. Additionally,I argue that The Dispossessed is a feminist text with the ultimate purpose of demonstrating howwomen can reach equality and ultimate agency in an anarchic state due to Le Guin's example
Ideological State Apparatuses in Dystopian Novels
Authors: Wise Kory
Published: September 2020

Dystopian novels have been topping best-seller lists for nearly a hundred years, but not manypeople have examined why this is the case or what makes them so efective at warning readersabout what we could become in a not too distant future. Perhaps it is these texts’ connection to thereal world that plays into our fascination with the genre. This paper establishes this connectionby examining the worlds of three popular dystopian novels and the ways in which they supportLouis Althusser’s theory of Ideological State Apparatuses. This study will ideally enable readers torecognize the tools and real-life strategies that structure dystopian fctional worlds.

Published: September 2020

Binahong (Anredera scandens (L.) Moq.) leaves are one of the plants that empirically can be used for wound healing and contain flavonoids which have antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Determination of the optimum conditions of the Binahong leaf extraction process needs to be done to ensure the extraction quality of the Binahong leaves associated with the given activity. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) is an extraction that utilizes microwave radiation to heat the solvent quickly and efficiently. This study aims to determine the most effective binahong leaf extraction conditions that produce optimal levels of flavonoids and antioxidant activity. The extraction process was carried out using the Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) method. Determination of optimum conditions is done based on Response Surface Method (RSM) with variable ethanol concentration (70%, 80% and 90%), extraction time (4, 12 and 20 minutes) and power (450, 600, and 800 watts) using Box- Behnken Design (BBD) with Design Expert 7.0 software. The extract quality parameters measured were total flavonoid levels and antioxidant activity. The results showed the optimum conditions with the BBD method were obtained at an ethanol concentration of 81.49%, extraction time of 13.84 minutes, and power of 626.19 watts with flavonoid levels of 3.8561% and antioxidant activity (IC50) of 95.51834 ppm with active categories.
