Diatomophthoraceae – a new family of olpidiopsis-like diatom parasitoids largely unrelated to Ectrogella
Authors: Buaya A.T. , Thines M.
Published: October 2019

The oomycete genus Ectrogella currently comprises a rather heterogeneous group of obligate endoparasitoids, mostly of diatoms and algae. Despite their widespread occurrence, little is known regarding the phylogenetic affinities of these bizarre organisms. Traditionally, the
genus was included within the Saprolegniales, based on zoospore diplanetism and a saprolegnia/achlya-like zoospore discharge. The genus has undergone multiple re-definitions in the past, and has often been used largely indiscriminately for oomycetes forming sausage-like thalli in diatoms.
While the phylogenetic affinity of the polyphyletic genus Olpidiopsis has recently been partially resolved, taxonomic placement of the genus Ectrogella remained unresolved, as no sequence data were available for species of this genus. In this study, we report the phylogenetic
placement of Ectrogella bacillariacearum infecting the freshwater diatom Nitzschia sigmoidea. The phylogenetic reconstruction shows that Ectrogella bacillariacearum is grouped among the early diverging lineages of the Saprolegniomycetes with high support, and is
unrelated to the monophyletic diatom-infecting olpidiopsis-like species. As these species are neither related to Ectrogella, nor to the early diverging lineages of Olpidiopsis s. str. and Miracula, they are placed in a new genus, Diatomophthora, in the present study.

Published: October 2019

Objectives:Patients do better in research-intense environments. The importance of research is reflected in the accreditation requirements of Australian clinical specialist colleges. The nature of college-mandated research training has not been systematically explored. We examined the intended research curricula of Australian trainee doctors described by specialist colleges, their constructive alignment, and the nature of scholarly project requirements.Design:We undertook content analysis of publicly available documents to characterise college research training curricula. Setting: We reviewed all publicly accessible information from the websites of Australian specialist colleges and their subspecialty divisions. We retrieved curricula, handbooks, and assessment-related documents.Participants: Fifty-eight Australian specialist colleges and their subspecialty divisions.Primary and secondary outcome measures: Two reviewers extracted and coded research-related activities as learning outcomes, activities, or assessments, by research stage (using, participating in or leading research) and competency based on Bloom’s Taxonomy (remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, creating). We coded learning and assessment activities by type (e.g. formal research training, publication) and whether it was linked to a scholarly project. Requirements related to project supervisors’ research experience were noted.Results: Fifty-five of 58 Australian college subspecialty divisions had a scholarly project requirement. Only 11 required formal research training; two required an experienced research supervisor. Colleges emphasised a role for trainees in leading research in their learning outcomes and assessments, but not learning activities. Less emphasis was placed on using research, and almost no emphasis on participation. Most learning activities and assessments mapped to the ‘creating’ domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy, whereas most learning outcomes mapped to the ‘evaluating’ domain. Overall, most research learning and assessment activities were related to leading a scholarly project.Conclusions: Australian specialist college curricula appear to emphasise a role for trainees in leading research and producing research deliverables, but do not mandate formal research training and supervision by experienced researchers.

Investigation the effect of anodization voltage on the geometrical properties and photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotube arrays for degradation of p-nitrophenol
Authors: Janekbari Kamyar Khoshsirat , Gilani Neda , pirbazari azadeh ebrahimian
Published: October 2019

p-nitrophenol (PNP) is a nitroaromatic compound that poses a potential environmental hazard because of its acute toxicity, high carcinogenicity, low biodegradability and cumulative effect. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes have shown great potential as ideal and powerful photocatalysts in purification of polluted water due to their high photo oxidation, anti-fogging, nontoxicity, good chemical stability and low cost. Therefore, TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by two-step anodization process at 30,40 and 50V; and were used in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollution p-nitrophenol. In order to have the crystal structure, nanotubes were annealed at 450 °C for 2 hours. Characterizing of TiO2 nanotubes were evaluated by FESEM, XRD and Spectrophotometry analyses. Effect of anodization voltage on nanotube’s length and diameter were investigated. The result showed that as anodization voltage increases from 30V to 50V, nanotube’s length, diameter and wall thickness increase linearly from 1.4 μm to 4.8 μm, 45 nm to 100nm and 15nm to 25 nm, respectively. Increasing in anodization voltage lead to enhancement in porosity (0.4-0.5) and roughness factor (109-194) of TiO2 nanotubes, respectively. By investigating kinetic of degradation of p-nitrophenol, it was observed that mechanism of photocatalytic degradation for all samples are followed first order kinetic. The results indicate that amongst all synthesized samples, 50 V sample with 38%, shows the most efficiency in degradation of p-nitrophenol under UV irradiation.
Differential associations of neurobehavioral traits and cognitive ability to academic achievement in higher education
Authors: Pluck Graham
Published: October 2019

BackgroundPeople vary between each other on several neurobehavioral traits, which may have implications for understanding academic achievement.MethodsUniversity-level Psychology or Engineering students were assessed for neurobehavioral traits, intelligence, and current psychological distress. Scores were compared with their grade point average (GPA) data.ResultsFactors associated with higher GPA differed markedly between groups. For Engineers, intelligence, but not neurobehavioral traits or psychological distress, was a strong correlate of grades. For Psychologists, grades were not correlated with intelligence but they were with the neurobehavioral traits of executive dysfunction, disinhibition, apathy, and positive schizotypy. However, only the latter two were associated independently of psychological distress. Additionally, higher mixed-handedness was associated with higher GPA in the combined sample.ConclusionsNeurological factors (i.e., neurobehavioral traits and intelligence), are differentially associated with university-level grades, depending on the major studied. However, mixed-handedness may prove to be a better general predictor of academic performance across disciplines.
Detrital Zircon U-Pb geochronology of the Ordovician Lander Sandstone, Bighorn
Authors: McGuire J. D. , Malone David , Craddock John , Malone Shawn J.
Published: October 2019

The Ordovician Lander Sandstone, which occurs unconformably above the Cambrian Gallatin Limestone and beneath the Bighorn Dolomite, occurs in the Bighorn, Powder, and Wind River basins of Wyoming. The Lander ranges from 0-10 m in thickness and consists of texturally and compositional mature, cross bedded quartz arenite. This study uses detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology to elucidate its provenance. Samples were collected from two localities along the eastern flank of the Bighorn Mountains near Buffalo, Wyoming: a roadcut on US 16 just west of the Clear Creek thrust and from along Crazy Woman Canyon Road. The results showed a statistical similarity between the two samples, and that zircon ages are predominantly Proterozoic in age (~75%) while the minority ages were Archean (25%). Probability density plots of the two-source areas show that the peak ages for Crazy Woman Canyon (n=90) are ~1840, 2075 and 2695 Ma and the US 16 peak ages (n=141) are ~1825, 2075, and 2725 Ma. The detrital zircon age spectra for these samples indicate that the Lander was not derived from local Archean basement and was not recycled from the underlying Cambrian. The Lander has a provenance in either the Trans-Hudson Province and adjacent rocks in present day Saskatchewan and Manitoba more than 1000 km to the north or from the Peace River Arch, an early Paleozoic highlands in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia. The Lander zircons have a similar provenance to eolian zircons in the Bighorn Dolomite and to other Ordovician sandstones on the Cordilleran Continental margin and central Idaho. The Lander provenance is distinct from the Ordovician St. Peter Sandstone, which occurs extensively east of the Transcontinental Arch. We interpret that the Lander was derived on the late Ordovician shoreline, and then transported via prevailing winds across the Laurentian shelf from east to west during sea level low stand, and then distributed throughout the shelf by currents.
Preliminary detrital zircon U-Pb Geochronology of the Wasatch Formation, Powder River Basin, Wyoming
Authors: Anderson Ian , Malone David H. , Craddock John
Published: October 2019

The lower Eocene Wasatch Formation is more than 1500 m thick in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The Wasatch is a Laramide synorgenic deposit that consists of paludal and lacustrine mudstone, fluvial sandstone, and coal. U-Pb geochronologic data on detrital zircons were gathered for a sandstone unit in the middle part of the succession. The Wasatch was collected along Interstate 90 just west of the Powder River, which is about 50 km east of the Bighorn Mountain front. The sandstone is lenticular in geometry and consists of arkosic arenite and wacke. The detrital zircon age spectrum ranged (n=99) from 1433-2957 Ma in age, and consisted of more than 95% Archean age grains, with an age peak of about 2900 Ma. Three populations of Archean ages are evident: 2886.6±10 Ma (24%), 2906.6±8.4 Ma (56%) and 2934.1±6.6 Ma (20%; all results 2 sigma). These ages are consistent with the age of Archean rocks exposed in the northern part of the range. The sparse Proterozoic grains were likely derived from the recycling of Cambrian and Carboniferous strata. These sands were transported to the Powder River Basin through the alluvial fans adjacent to the Piney Creek thrust. Drainage continued to the north through the basin and eventually into the Ancestral Missouri River and Gulf of Mexico. The provenance of the Wasatch is distinct from coeval Tatman and Willwood strata in the Bighorn and Absaroka basins, which were derived from distal source (>500 km) areas in the Sevier Highlands of Idaho and the Laramide Beartooth and Tobacco Root uplifts. Why the Bighorn Mountains shed abundant Eocene strata only to the east and not to the west remains enigmatic, and merits further study.
Detrital Zircon U-Pb Geochronology and Provenance of the Sundance Formation, Western Powder River Basin, Wyoming
Authors: Syzdek Joseph , Malone David , Craddock John
Published: October 2019

This study uses detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology to investigate the provenance of the Jurassic Sundance Formation in the western Powder River Basin, Wyoming. Understanding the provenance of the Sundance Formation is critical as it was deposited during the transition from cratonic to synorogenic sedimentation derived from the Sevier-Laramide foreland. The Sundance in the western Powder River Basin consists of an oolitic limestone and green glauconitic sandstone at the base, green shales in the middle, and a yellow quartz arenite with coquina “oyster” beds at the top. U-Pb analyses of detrital zircons using LA-ICP-MS were conducted on two samples collected in the Bud Love Wildlife Habitat Management Area, 20 km northwest of Buffalo, WY. The two samples were taken from the upper and lower sandstone members of the Sundance Formation (n=289 concordant U-Pb zircon ages). The samples show a distinct difference in detrital zircon age spectra. The lower sandstone age spectrum ranges from 260-3172 Ma with 23% of the ages being Paleozoic, 71% being Proterozoic, and 6% being Archean. This lower stratum has detrital zircon age peaks at 343, 432, 686, 1039, 1431, 1662, 1748, 1941, 2433, and 3179 Ma. The lower sandstone shows an easterly Appalachian-Ouachita provenance, which persisted in the region beginning in the Carboniferous. In comparison to the upper strata, ages range from 157-2949 Ma and age peaks at 170, 243, 440, 545, 1082, 1467, 1681, and 1985 Ma. The maximum deposition age for the upper member is 160 Ma. Mesozoic aged grains make up 15.6% of the zircons, 14.7% were Paleozoic, 65.7% were Proterozoic, and 4% were Archean in age. The appearance of Mesozoic zircons in the upper sandstone marks the first significant appearance of westerly sourced zircons, and perhaps reflects the earliest uplift of the Sevier fold and thrust belt. Previous research has found this same signature in the Sundance but not in the underlying Triassic Chugwater Formation, resulting in a broad boundary of the change in sediment dispersal and the onset of the Sevier Orogeny between the Triassic and Jurassic. This study was conducted for a higher resolution to the provenance of the Sundance Formation and to further narrow the boundary of differing sedimentation from an eastern recycled to western synorogenic source.

Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVE

Maximal safe resection is an important surgical goal in the treatment for high-grade gliomas. Fluorescent dyes help the surgeon to distinguish malignant tissue from healthy. The aims of this study were 1) to compare the 2 fluorescent dyes 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and sodium fluorescein (fluorescein) regarding extent of resection, progression-free survival, and overall survival; and 2) to assess the influence of other risk factors on clinical outcome and screen for potential disadvantages of the dyes.

METHODS

A total of 209 patients with high-grade gliomas were included in this retrospective study. Resections were performed in the period from 2012 to 2017 using 5-ALA or fluorescein. Extent of resection was assessed as the difference in tumor volume between early postoperative and preoperative MRI studies. Tumor progression–free survival and overall survival were analyzed using an adjusted Cox proportional hazards model.

RESULTS

One hundred fifty-eight patients were operated on with 5-ALA and 51 with fluorescein. The median duration of follow-up was 46.7 and 21.2 months, respectively. Covariables were evenly distributed. There was no statistically significant difference in volumetrically assessed median extent of resection (96.9% for 5-ALA vs 97.4% for fluorescein, p = 0.46) or the percentage of patients with residual tumor volume less than 0.175 cm3 (29.5% for 5-ALA vs 36.2% for fluorescein, p = 0.39). The median overall survival was 14.8 months for the 5-ALA group and 19.7 months for the fluorescein group (p = 0.06). The median adjusted progression-free survival was 8.7 months for the 5-ALA group and 9.2 months for the fluorescein group (p = 0.03).

CONCLUSIONS

Fluorescein can be used as a viable alternative to 5-ALA for intraoperative fluorescent guidance in brain tumor surgery. Comparative, prospective, and randomized studies are much needed.

Published: October 2019

Biodegradable plastic is an alternative to conventional plastic which has been very difficult to degrade and causes environmental pollution. Biodegradable plastic raw materials come from plants or plant wastes, so they are easily degraded by the environment and the utilization of waste becomes more efficient. The general objective of this study is to obtain the characteristics of plastics that meet the standards by varying the concentration of the materials used. This study used Kepok banana hump starch with variations in the concentration of chitosan, sorbitol, and cinnamon oil. The variable used is the ratio of weight of starch and water (1: 5). The concentration of chitosan nanoparticles was 0.25%, 0.5%, and 0.75%, sorbitol concentrations were 2 ml, 4 ml, and 6 ml, and the concentration of cinnamon was 0%, 0.5%, and 1%. Tests carried out are tensile strength, elongation of break, water absorption, and biodegradability. The best tensile strength results are 19.6 MPa, the best elongation is 47.69%, the highest water absorption is 53.77% and the lowest is 22.63%, and the complete degradation takes the longest time of 77 days.

Participatory rural appraisals (PRA) were conducted in July 14 to 30, 2016 in AGP-II project target districts: Erar waldiya and Dire Teyara in Harari region of Ethiopia. PRA exercises were conducted using various PRA tools which included review of secondary data, focus group discussions, field observations (Transact walk) and pair-wise ranking. The tools were used to identify the biophysical and socio-economic constraints, opportunities and developments within the kebeles. Agricultural and animal productions are common in the surveyed Kebeles of the AGP-II target districts. Mixed farming is widely practiced in the kebeles of both districts. Staple food crops like maize and sorghum, and cash crops like vegetables and khat (Catha edulis Forsk) are commonly produced across all targets of AGP-II districts and also as region as well. Growing maize and sorghum in khat alleys is another cropping system practiced in both districts. The PRA work has also identified various categories of constraints to increasing crop production in the areas. The major bottlenecks include lack of improved crop varieties, low soil fertility, deforestation, moisture stress, disease and insect pests, and lack of awareness on soil fertility crop management. In most of the PRA Kebeles, it was found that continuous cropping, complete removal of crop residues from farm lands, soil erosion, deforestation, absence of fallowing, and inadequate soil fertility management practices are the major causes for low soil fertility and crop yields. In most cases, farmers apply Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), urea and farmyard manure to improve soil fertility and crop yield. However, very few farmers use integrated application of chemical fertilizers and farmyard manure for crop production. In addition, no scientifically formulated and recommended fertilizer rates are available for the specific soils and environments. Thus, due to the lack of scientifically recommended rates of fertilizers and high costs of mineral fertilizers, farmers often use smaller rates of mineral N and P fertilizers based on haphazard estimations.
Functional evenness of bird communities varies along the elevational gradient in Europe: Conservation implications
Authors: Morelli Federico , Yanina
Published: October 2019

ContextThe negative association between elevation and species richness is a well-recognized pattern in macro-ecology. ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate changes in functional evenness of breeding bird communities along an elevation gradient in Europe. MethodsUsing the bird data from the EBCC Atlas of European Breeding Birds we estimated an index of functional evenness which can be assumed as a measure of the potential resilience of communities.ResultsOur findings confirm the existence of a negative association between elevation and bird species richness in all European eco regions. However, we also explored a novel aspect of this relationship, important for conservation: Our findings provide evidence at large spatial scale of a negative association between the functional evenness (potential community resilience) and elevation, independent of the eco region. We also found that the Natura2000 protected areas covers the territory most in need of protection, those characterized by bird communities with low potential resilience, in hilly and mountainous areas.ConclusionsThese results draw attention to European areas occupied by bird communities characterized by a potential lower capacity to respond to strong ecological changes, and, therefore, potentially more exposed to risks for conservation.

AbstrakMenurut data Riskesdas (2013) sebanyak 40 persen orang meninggal karena serangan jantung tidakmengetahui kalau  dirinya  mengidap  penyakit  jantung  koroner.  Bila ditinjau  dari gaya  hidup masyarakat Aceh ada beberapa faktor risiko meningkatkan kejadian PJK terutama bila dilakukan secara berlebihan, antara lain merokok, minum kopi, makan makanan berlemak dan kurangnya aktifitas fisik serta tidak mampu mengendalikan stress. Faktor-faktor tersebut sebagai gaya hidup sangat berpotensi meningkatkan risiko PJK yang dibuktikan dari beberapa laporan statistik menunjukkan PJK di Aceh tertinggi. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis determinan gaya hidup penderita penyakit jantung koroner di Rumah Sakit Zainoel Abidin. Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain case control pada Bulan April 2017 di RSUD Zainoel Abidin menganalisis 206 kasus PJK dan 206 non PJK berdasarkan dokumen rekam medik dan menggunakan kuesioner tentang gaya hidup yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan determinan gaya hidup yang berhubungan bermakna adalah pola pengendalian stress, gaya hidup dan minum kopi dengan PJK (p<0,05), sedangkan pola makan tidak menunjukkan hubungan bermakna dengan PJK (p>0,05). Determinan gaya hidup yang paling dominan sebagai faktor risiko PJK adalah pengendalian stress dan kebiasaan minum kopi, yaitu pasien dengan riwayat pengendalian stress yang kurang efektif dan kebiasaan minum kopi lebih berisiko 4 kali dibandingkan pasien dengan pola pengendaian stress yang efektif dan tidak memiki kebiasaan minum kopi. Pengaruh gaya hidup terhadap PJK turut dipengaruhi oleh faktor pendapatan. Implikasi penelitian menawarkan kebijakan keterlibatan aktif berbagai pihak untuk melakukan upaya-upaya promotif dan preventif dengan melibatkan masyarakat dengan mengembangkan berbagai inovasi. Kata Kunci: Determinan, gaya hidup, penyakit jantung koroner, RS Zainoel Abidin

In
this study, performance evaluation of some suggested approaches for the
determination of structural break in a regression equation was studied. In this
context, firstly the theoretical structure of some well-known methods on
determination of structural break was considered by defining structural break
problem. Suggested tests for the determination of the structural break may have
performance differences under some factors. To demonstrate these differences, a
simulation study in terms of effects of factors considered as performances of
these methods. The results of the simulation revealed that the performances
varies in terms of some structural features from the suggested methods for
breakage determination.

The aim of present work is to develop a fast disintegrating solid oral dosage form of Metoprolol succinate. The concept of fast dissolving drug delivery system emerged from the desire to provide patient with more conventional means of taking their medication. Problems associated with conventional tablets can be resolved by means of fast dissolving tablets when put on tongue these tablets disintegrate and dissolve rapidly in saliva without need of drinking water. The faster the drug disintegrates in to solution, the quicker the absorption and onset of clinical effect. Preformulation results reveal that the flow properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient were found to be excellent as per IP limits. To perform drug-polymer compatibility FT-IR studies were carried out and observed that there was no interaction between the APl and excipients. Eight formulations were prepared with varying super disintegrating agent ratios and were found that as the level of super disintegrating agent decreased the drug release rates were found to be increased. Amongst all the formulations, formulation containing CCS (F4) as super disintegrant is fulfilling all the parameters satisfactorily. It has shown excellent in-vitro disintegration, in-vitro dissolution compared to other formulations. The prepared tablets disintegrate within few minutes without need of water; thereby enhance the absorption leading to its increased bioavailability. It was concluded that Fast Disintegrating tablets of Metoprolol can be prepared successfully as it satisfies all the criteria as a dispersible tablet and would be alternative to the currently available conventional tablets. Prepared formulations were stable during 90 days storage period at controlled 40°C and 75%RH.

With the help of this report evaluating the current situation of the region, characteristics of the development in agricultural production and regional differences can be clarified. By mapping out the regional soil, land use and climatic conditions and organizing these into a geographical information system, one can easily determine which plants are the most ideal to cultivate in that particular region. Moreover, it is a useful tool that enables us toestablish the most favorable land use structure suited to ecological demands and also helps to determine the methods of soil protection.During our work, we chose administrative units in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, based on the latest aspects of regional cultivation.Our pilot areas are: the small regions of Nyíregyháza, Nyírbátor, Nagykálló, Mátészalka and Csenger.Using the database, we separated and uncovered the soil conditions of the pilot areas: the chemical and physical properties of the soil layer which is exploited by the roots of the plants, the humus content, the nutrient supply, the thickness of the cultivated layer and the water management conditions.We separated the districts of regional cultivation, where the basic elements of the traditional Kreybig color systems were applied (light yellow, dark yellow, light brown, dark green, blue, pink, red, gray, greenish brown, reddish purple, light purple, dark purple, light green).By using the data collected from the pilot areas, we compiled a map database, which is suitable to illustrate the plant cultivating characteristics of the region. We made recommendations to determine the most favorable plants to cultivate in the specific region with the given meteorological and soil conditions, as well as for the shifting of crops.Our recommendations were also illustrated in a map with a resolution of 1:25000.
