Published: April 2020

Abstract
Title : Correlation between BMI and pregnancy Outcome among postnatal mothers with pregnancy Induced hypertension in selected hospital Bangalore.
Objectives: To identify and correlate BMI and pregnancy Outcome among postnatal mothers with pregnancy Induced hypertension.
Method: A non experimental correlation design was utilized among 80 postnatal mothers who were diagnosed as Pregnancy induced hypertension during their antenatal period selected as samples by using purposive sampling technique. Demographic data were collected by interview method, their BMI was calculated, pregnancy outcomes were identified from records by using an outcome checklist.
Results : Underweight mothers had low birth weight babies and received NICU care. Among normal weight mothers 17.5 % delivered by LSCS, 15% babies were low birth weight babies 12.5 were preterm babies among them 10% received NICU care. In the overweight group 18.75% undergone LSCS, 18.75% were LBW and 1.25% VLBW, 8.75% babies were preterm, 12.5% newborn received NICU care. Among Obese mothers 8.75% delivered by LSCS, 6.25% of LBW babies, 5% were preterm and all of them received NICU care. There is a positive correlation between BMI and diagnosis and type of delivery. Significant at .01 and .05 Level (p value .008 and .019 respectively). Negative correlation between birth weight and diagnosis and gestational age. r = -.499 significant at .01 level (p value .000)
Conclusion: Obesity and under weight is a leading, preventable cause of mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia increases maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. All women who are in reproductive age group and under risk to develop pregnancy induced hypertension need to be educated about to maintenance of normal weight before pregnancy. Nurses have more responsibility on creating awareness among women how to maintain normal weight to avoid development of complications to the mother and newborn.

Authors: Sultana Qudusia , Avadhani Ramakrishna , KL Varalakshmi , MH Shariff ,   Blessina
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Introduction: The second part of the vertebral artery along with vertebral venous plexus and sympathetic plexus traverses through vicinity of foramen transversarium of atlas. Derangement of these structures in their course may be seen due to deformities, narrowing and presence of osteophytes in foramen transversarium.
Methods: Two hundred foramen transversarium of 100 atlas vertebrae were grossly studied for their variations.
Results: Out of hundred atlas vertebrae examined, we found that all the vertebrae had foramina transversaria. Absence of costal element was noticed in five atlas vertebrae. 2 of the vertebrae showed incomplete unilateral foramen transversarium, 3 vertebrae showed bilateral incomplete foramen, In 1 vertebra along with normal foramen transversarium, complete retroarticular foramen was observed on the left side and incomplete retroarticular foramen observed on the right side of the posterior arch.4 vertebrae showed incomplete retroarticular foramen.
Conclusion: The increasing incidence of neck injuries and related syndromes necessitates the study of bony variations of the atlas vertebra and its transverse foramina. Due to the incomplete formation of the foramen transversarium the second part of vertebral artery is prone to be damaged easily during posterior cervical injuries and Surgeries. The bony bridges embracing the vertebral artery may be responsible for vertigo and cerebrovascular accidents hence the knowledge of such variations is important for Physicians, Otirhinolaryngologists, neurologists ,Orthopaedicians and Radiologists.

Published: April 2020

AbstractHeat stroke was first recognized by the Romans in 24 BC. But it took until 1946 for it to be shown that heat stroke could lead to multiorgan damage with hemorrhage and necrosis in the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, brain and gut with a 10% to 50% mortality rate. Patients may present with neurological impairment of varying degrees and duration, including delirium, lethargy, coma and seizures, Neurological damage is presumably attributable to metabolic disarray, cerebral edema or ischemia. Here we are presenting a case of heat stroke, with coma due to neurological involvement who recovered functionally fully though with some residual damage revealed in computerized tomogram of the brain after conservative management of heat stroke.
Demonstration of dynamic thermal compensation for parametric instability suppression in Advanced LIGO
Authors: Hardwick T , Hamedan V J , Blair C , Green A C , Vander-Hyde D 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Advanced LIGO and other ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detectors use high laser power to minimize shot noise and suspended optics to reduce seismic noise coupling. This can result in an opto-mechanical coupling which can become unstable and saturate the interferometer control systems. The severity of these parametric instabilities scales with circulating laser power and first hindered LIGO operations in 2014. Static thermal tuning and active electrostatic damping have previously been used to control parametric instabilities at lower powers but are insufficient as power is increased. Here we report the first demonstration of dynamic thermal compensation to avoid parametric instability in an Advanced LIGO detector. Annular ring heaters that compensate central heating are used to tune the optical mode away from multiple problematic mirror resonance frequencies. We develop a single-cavity approximation model to simulate the optical beat note frequency during the central heating and ring heating transient. An experiment of dynamic ring heater tuning at the LIGO Livingston detector was carried out at 170 kW circulating power and, in agreement with our model, the third order optical beat note is controlled to avoid instability of the 15 and 15.5 kHz mechanical modes. We project that dynamic thermal compensation with ring heater input conditioning can be used in parallel with acoustic mode dampers to control the optical mode transient and avoid parametric instability of these modes up to Advanced LIGO’s design circulating power of 750  kW. The experiment also demonstrates the use of three mode interaction monitoring as a sensor of the cavity geometry, used to maintain the g-factor product to g

Exact eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the finite Kitaev chain and its topological properties
Authors: Leumer Nico , Marganska Magdalena , Muralidharan Bhaskaran , Grifoni Milena 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
We present a comprehensive, analytical treatment of the finite Kitaev chain for arbitrary chemical potential and chain length. By means of an exact analytical diagonalization in the real space, we derive the momentum quantization conditions and present exact analytical formulas for the resulting energy spectrum and eigenstate wave functions, encompassing boundary and bulk states. In accordance with an analysis based on the winding number topological invariant, and as expected from the bulk-edge correspondence, the boundary states are topological in nature. They can have zero, exponentially small or even finite energy. Further, for a fixed value of the chemical potential, their properties are ruled by the ratio of the decay length to the chain length. A numerical analysis confirms the robustness of the topological states against disorder.

Abstract
In this paper, we evaluated electron temperature fluctuations by using a conditional sampling and a statistical phase detection method. These methods allow us to reconstruct probe I − V characteristics at each time delay; that is, we can extract electron temperature and ion saturation current fluctuations in high temporal resolution without complex electronic circuits. Our method was applied to two quasi-coherent fluctuations observed in a linear magnetized plasma device, PANTA. We observed spatiotemporal structures of electron temperature and ion saturation current fluctuations. The results revealed the amplitudes and phase relation between electron temperature and density fluctuations.
Pseudo-2D superconducting quantum computing circuit for the surface code: proposal and preliminary tests

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Among the major hardware platforms for large-scale quantum computing, one of the leading candidates is superconducting quantum circuits. Current proposed architectures for quantum error-correction with the promising surface code require a two-dimensional layout of superconducting qubits with nearest-neighbor interactions. A major hurdle for the scalability in such an architecture using superconducting systems is the so-called wiring problem, where qubits internal to a chipset become difficult to access by the external control/readout lines. In contrast to the existing approaches which address the problem through intricate three-dimensional wiring and packaging technology, leading to a significant engineering challenge, here we address this problem by presenting a modified microarchitecture in which all the wiring can be realized through a newly introduced pseudo two-dimensional resonator network which provides the inter-qubit connections via airbridges. Our proposal is completely compatible with current standard planar circuit technology. We carried out experiments to examine the feasibility of the new airbridge component. The measured quality factor of the airbridged resonator is below the simulated surface-code threshold required for a coupling resonator, and it should not limit simulated gate fidelity. The measured crosstalk between crossed resonators is at most −49 dB in resonance. Further spatial and frequency separation between the resonators should result in relatively limited crosstalk between them, which would not increase as the size of the chipset increases. This architecture and the preliminary tests indicate the possibility that a large-scale, fully error-corrected quantum computer could be constructed by monolithic integration technologies without additional overhead or special packaging know-how.
Effect of antimony on low-temperature tensile deformation behaviour of high-grade non-oriented silicon steel
Authors: Dechao Li , Junhui Dong , Haipeng Chen , Haiyan Wang 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The effects of antimony (Sb) on the deformation behaviour of high-grade non-oriented silicon steel at a low temperature were studied by using a Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator and the field-emission scanning-electron microscope. The tensile strength of the high-grade non-oriented silicon steel without Sb was significantly lower than that of the high-grade non-oriented silicon steel with Sb within the tensile temperature range of 25 °C–240 °C. It is possible for Sb atoms near the grain boundary to diffuse at hundreds of atoms through dislocations as a rapid diffusion channel, which is driven by thermal activation with an increase in temperature. Atomic diffusion can weaken the damage to bonding forces on the grain boundary and crack propagation along the grain boundary under load action. The segregation of Sb atoms at the grain boundary decreased gradually, which weakened the cleavage characteristics of the fracture morphology and enhanced its dimple characteristics. For a stretching temperature of 80 °C, the fracture dimple of high-grade non-oriented silicon steel without Sb was significantly more than the high-grade non-oriented silicon steel with Sb. Because of the weakening effect of Sb segregation at the grain boundary, the suitable low-temperature deformation range for high-grade non-oriented silicon steel with Sb was 120 °C–160 °C.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Low physical activity (PA) among older adults increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality through metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. We aimed to elucidate the extent to which diabetes mediates the effect of nonoccupational PA levels on CVD and mortality among older Mexican Americans. This study included 1,676 adults from the Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (1998–2007). We employed Cox proportional hazards regression models to investigate associations of PA level with all-cause mortality, fatal CVD, and nonfatal CVD events. Utilizing causal mediation analysis within a counterfactual framework, we decomposed the total effect of PA into natural indirect and direct effects. Over a median of 8 years of follow-up, low PA (&lt;25th percentile) was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06, 1.75), fatal CVD (HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.42, 2.97), and nonfatal CVD events (HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.18, 2.37) in comparison with high PA (&gt;75th percentile). Diabetes mediated 11.0%, 7.4%, and 5.2% of the total effect of PA on all-cause mortality, fatal CVD, and nonfatal CVD events, respectively. Our findings indicate that public health interventions targeting diabetes prevention and management would be a worthwhile strategy for preventing CVD and mortality among older Mexican Americans with insufficient PA levels.
Race and the Rise of a Mass Visual Culture: The Case of David Hunter Strother’s Virginia Illustrated
Authors: Lukasik Christopher 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The publication of David Hunter Strother’s Virginia Illustrated under the pseudonym Porte Crayon in Harper’s Monthly (1854–56) provides a compelling case study through which to consider the role of race in the development of a US mass visual culture. The media combinations found within and the reception history of Virginia Illustrated demonstrate the importance of racialized viewing to the early success of Harper’s Monthly at a critical moment in media history. To be sure, Virginia Illustrated circulated racist stereotypes to be mass consumed, but the image/text operations of Strother’s literary sketches and illustrations also extended the privileges and pleasures inherent in the performance of the white male gaze to the expanding readership of Harper’s Monthly despite the differences in region, gender, and class of that audience. The case study of Virginia Illustrated challenges us to revisit the oddly marginalized relationship of nineteenth-century illustration to literary, art, and media history and invites us to situate nineteenth-century US literature into the wider media landscape of which it was undoubtedly a part.
Assessing the variation in manganese use efficiency traits in Scottish barley landrace Bere (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Authors: Cope Jonathan E , Russell Joanne , Norton Gareth J , George Timothy S , Newton Adrian C 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Background and Aims
Manganese (Mn) deficiency in barley is a global problem. It is difficult to detect in the early stages of symptom development and is commonly pre-emptively corrected by Mn foliar sprays that can be costly. Landraces adapted to marginal lands around the world represent a genetic resource for potential sustainability traits including mineral use efficiency. This research aims to confirm novel Mn use efficiency traits from the Scottish landrace Bere and use an association mapping approach to identify genetic loci associated with the trait.

Methods
A hydroponic system was developed to identify and characterize the Mn deficiency tolerance traits in a collection of landraces, including a large number of Scottish Bere barleys, a group of six-rowed heritage landraces grown in the highlands and islands of Scotland. Measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, the effect of Mn deficiency was identified in the early stages of development. Genotypic data, generated using the 50k Illumina iSelect genotyping array, were coupled with the Mn phenotypic data to create a genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifying candidate loci associated with Mn use efficiency.

Key Results
The Bere lines generally had good Mn use efficiency traits. Individual Bere lines showed large efficiencies, with some Bere lines recording almost double chlorophyll fluorescence readings in limited Mn conditions compared with the elite cultivar Scholar. The Mn-efficient Bere lines had increased accumulation of Mn in their shoot biomass compared with elite cultivars, which was highly correlated to the chlorophyll fluorescence. Several candidate genes were identified as being associated with Mn use efficiency in the GWAS.

Conclusions
Several genomic regions for Mn use efficiency traits originating from the Bere lines were identified. Further examination and validation of these regions should be undertaken to identify candidate genes for future breeding for marginal lands.
A reformulation of pLSA for uncertainty estimation and hypothesis testing in bio-imaging
Authors: Tar P D , Thacker N A , Deepaisarn S , O’Connor J P B , McMahon A W 
Published: April 2020

AbstractMotivationProbabilistic latent semantic analysis (pLSA) is commonly applied to describe mass spectra (MS) images. However, the method does not provide certain outputs necessary for the quantitative scientific interpretation of data. In particular, it lacks assessment of statistical uncertainty and the ability to perform hypothesis testing. We show how linear Poisson modelling advances pLSA, giving covariances on model parameters and supporting χ2 testing for the presence/absence of MS signal components. As an example, this is useful for the identification of pathology in MALDI biological samples. We also show potential wider applicability, beyond MS, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from colorectal xenograft models.ResultsSimulations and MALDI spectra of a stroke-damaged rat brain show MS signals from pathological tissue can be quantified. MRI diffusion data of control and radiotherapy-treated tumours further show high sensitivity hypothesis testing for treatment effects. Successful χ2 and degrees-of-freedom are computed, allowing null-hypothesis thresholding at high levels of confidence.Availability and implementationOpen-source image analysis software available from TINA Vision, www.tina-vision.net.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
PPTPP: a novel therapeutic peptide prediction method using physicochemical property encoding and adaptive feature representation learning
Authors: Zhang Yu P , Zou Quan 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Motivation
Peptide is a promising candidate for therapeutic and diagnostic development due to its great physiological versatility and structural simplicity. Thus, identifying therapeutic peptides and investigating their properties are fundamentally important. As an inexpensive and fast approach, machine learning-based predictors have shown their strength in therapeutic peptide identification due to excellences in massive data processing. To date, no reported therapeutic peptide predictor can perform high-quality generic prediction and informative physicochemical properties (IPPs) identification simultaneously.

Results
In this work, Physicochemical Property-based Therapeutic Peptide Predictor (PPTPP), a Random Forest-based prediction method was presented to address this issue. A novel feature encoding and learning scheme were initiated to produce and rank physicochemical property-related features. Besides being capable of predicting multiple therapeutics peptides with high comparability to established predictors, the presented method is also able to identify peptides’ informative IPP. Results presented in this work not only illustrated the soundness of its working capacity but also demonstrated its potential for investigating other therapeutic peptides.

PRIME: a probabilistic imputation method to reduce dropout effects in single-cell RNA sequencing
Authors: Jeong Hyundoo , Liu Zhandong 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Summary
Single-cell RNA sequencing technology provides a novel means to analyze the transcriptomic profiles of individual cells. The technique is vulnerable, however, to a type of noise called dropout effects, which lead to zero-inflated distributions in the transcriptome profile and reduce the reliability of the results. Single-cell RNA sequencing data, therefore, need to be carefully processed before in-depth analysis. Here, we describe a novel imputation method that reduces dropout effects in single-cell sequencing. We construct a cell correspondence network and adjust gene expression estimates based on transcriptome profiles for the local subnetwork of cells of the same type. We comprehensively evaluated this method, called PRIME (PRobabilistic IMputation to reduce dropout effects in Expression profiles of single-cell sequencing), on synthetic and eight real single-cell sequencing datasets and verified that it improves the quality of visualization and accuracy of clustering analysis and can discover gene expression patterns hidden by noise.
