Deformation monitoring and prediction for residential areas in the Panji mining area based on an InSAR time series analysis and the GM-SVR model
Authors: Li Jinchao , Gao Fei , Lu Jiaguo , Tao Tingye 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Underground coal mining activities often cause ground subsidence and damage to surface construction, which seriously threatens the lives and property of residents in mining areas. In this paper, the deformation of the Yang Juzhuang village, which is a residential area in the Huainan mining area (China), was monitored through an interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) time series analysis. The vertical displacements were detected using thirteen Sentinel-1A images that were acquired between December 2016 and May 2017. The validity and applicability of the method are verified by comparing the acquired images with the GPS measurement results. Because of the deformation characteristics of the mining area, a prediction model that is combined with a grey support vector machine regression (GM-SVR) is proposed, and the practical effects of the model are verified using the deformation monitoring results of the study area. The combination of this model and SBAS-InSAR provides rapid dynamic monitoring and enables the issuance of disaster warnings in the region.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
This article presents a Geographic Information System (GIS) assessment of Landslide Susceptibility Zonation (LSZ) in North Macedonia. Because of the weak landslide inventory, statistical method (frequency ratio) is combined with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In this study, lithology, slope, plan curvature, precipitations, land cover, distance from streams, and distance from roads were selected as precondition factors for landslide occurrence. There are two advantages of the approach used. The first is the possibility of comparing of the results and cross-validation between the statistical and expert based methods with an indication of the advantages and drawbacks of each of them. The second is the possibility of better weighting of precondition factors for landslide occurrence, which can be useful in cases of weak landslide inventory. The final result shows that in the case of weak landslide inventory, LSZmap created with the combination of both models provide better overall results than each model separately.
Performance Analysis of FSK-PPM Technique in Visible-Light Communication Systems
Authors: Sönmez Mehmet 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a combination of the FSK (frequency shift keying) and the PPM (pulse position modulation) techniques for visible-light communication systems. We propose novel modulator architecture, which is referred as combined FSK-PPM (CFPPM), to observe the average power requirement of FSK technique. The proposed combined scheme is compared with the traditional FSK method in terms of average transmission power and BER (bit error rate) performance. The average transmission power of FSK modulation technique is independent on M that is expressed as modulation order. The results show that the requirement of average transmission power of proposed FSK can be gradually decreased dependent on M.
Multi-Layer Graded-Index Planar Structure for Coarse WDM Demultiplexing
Authors: Bany Salameh Haythem , Khrais Hazem 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this paper, we develop a novel demultiplexer design for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM). The device consists of multi-layer inhomogeneous semi-conductor material, where the refractive index of each layer is graded according to a predefined profile. The proposed design exploits the ray’s spatial shift that results from the material dispersion as different wavelengths propagate through the different layers of the device. Our design forces the multiplexed light to refract after propagation for short distance within the device leading to smaller device size while providing the needed spatial shift between the ray’s of the adjacent multiplexed wavelengths. The proposed structure can be easily implemented using the well-established technology utilized in fabricating existing graded-index fibers. The impacts of the various design parameters (such as the incident angle, number of layers, the layer thickness, the spacing between adjacent wavelengths, the refractive index difference) on the amount of achieved spatial shift between the adjacent wavelengths and the size of the device are investigated. Compared to previous proposed techniques, our device can be easily fabricated to provide higher spatial shift while reducing the device size with by controlling the different design parameters.

Magnetic and electronic properties of CaFeO2Cl
Authors: Rendenbach Bettina , Klenner Steffen , Pöttgen Rainer , Johrendt Dirk 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
CaFeO2Cl is a unique exception in the family of the iron oxyhalides. Its crystal structure is not related to the Ruddlesden-Popper phases as known for the other members, but contains layers of edge-sharing FeO2/2O3/3 pyramids without Fe–Cl contacts. The iron atoms form a distorted honeycomb substructure. Magnetization measurements on single crystals show an unexpected weak anisotropy and indicate antiferromagnetic ordering of the iron magnetic moments already at room temperature. 57Fe Mössbauer spectra confirm the trivalent oxidation state of iron and the presence of magnetic order. DFT calculations using the LDA + U approach support a Mott-insulating antiferromagnetic ground state and indicate a Néel-type ordered antiferromagnetic state in the honeycomb layer. The band gap from optical measurements is 1.3 eV and agrees with the red-brown colour as well as with the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Lesniak, AY, Bergstrom, HC, Clasey, JL, Stromberg, AJ, and Abel, MG. The effect of personal protective equipment on firefighter occupational performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2165–2172, 2020—The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of load carriage (LC) and LC plus respirator use (LC + self-contained breathing apparatus [SCBA]) on firefighters' work capacity to enhance our understanding of occupational demands. Twenty-one male structural firefighter recruits (age: 28.6 ± 4.3 years; height: 178.6 ± 7.2 cm; body mass: 94.1 ± 15.4 kg; body fat: 22.9 ± 6.1%) participated. Occupational performance was assessed by time to complete a simulated fire ground test (SFGT). After 2 familiarization trials, recruits performed the following SFGT conditions in a randomized order: PT (physical training clothes), LC only, and LC + SCBA. To describe within-group differences between SFGT conditions, relative difference scores were calculated as follows: % difference = ([experimental trial outcome − PT trial outcome]/PT trial outcome) × 100. Statistical differences between conditions were assessed with repeated-measures analysis of variance. The level of significance was set p < 0.01. Time to complete the LC + SCBA trial (345.9 ± 43.7 seconds; p < 0.001) and LC-only trial (331.2 ± 39.3 seconds; p < 0.001) were significantly greater than the PT trial (241.0 ± 33.3 seconds). Post-SFGT rating of perceived exertion was higher in the LC + SCBA trial (6.7 ± 1.7) and LC trial (6.4 ± 1.5) compared with the PT trial (4.7 ± 1.8; p < 0.001). Heart rate and lactate measures were similar across conditions (p = 0.488; p = 0.287). Personal protective equipment (PPE) significantly decreases the work capacity and increases the perceived effort of occupational tasks. Thus, these findings describe the additional physical demands produced by PPE and indicate that performance of firefighting tasks in an unloaded condition does not reflect work capacity in a bona fide condition.
Evaluating Concrete Damage in Bridge Decks with and without Overlays Using Nondestructive Testing Procedures

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe state of Wyoming alone has 13.1 million square feet of bridge deck, and evaluation of those decks has become an important part of the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s (WYDOT) management of bridge repairs. The authors believe that development and advancement of nondestructive evaluation methods over the past 25 years may provide a more efficient, standardized, and accurate method for evaluating bridge deck conditions compared with current practices. A study was performed on three bridge decks in Wyoming: the First Street Bridge in Casper, the Douglas I-25 Bridge, and the Remount I-80 Bridge. For each bridge, an investigation was done using standard WYDOT practices for chain dragging. In addition, the bridges were evaluated using impact echo, thermal imaging, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) techniques. All three methods considered were successful, and the damage locations between the impact echo, thermal imaging, and GPR generally correlated well. Based on this study, a complete bridge deck evaluation should combine impact echo with GPR testing to provide the most accurate predictions of delamination and debonding in support of optimal maintenance decisions.
Transcending Methodological Atheism and Not Thinking Transcendentally
Authors: Jewdokimow Marcin 
Published: November 2019

The main goal of the article is to propose an alternative approach towards the monastery, which relies on overcoming methodological atheism and is rooted in a lived, everyday religion approach. In order to do so, in the first section, I reconstruct Peter Berger’s methodological atheism, discuss its limits, and point to alternative methodological approaches. In the second section I present elements of my sociological study of a female, cloistered monastery, focusing on the dichotomy between obedience and autonomy in nuns’ experiences of life within a cloistered monastery. If understood from a classical perspective, the two traits seem contradictory. My research suggests that some nuns perceive these two characteristics as supplemental rather than contradictory. I propose that using an approach that focuses on lived, everyday religion, rather than an approach focused on religious experience (methodological atheism) allows for a comprehensive interpretation of how monasteries work and how monks and nuns operate in this specific environment. It also allows for the integration of social actors’ understanding of their environment into investigation.
Late Pleistocene Record of Off‐Fault Deformation and Vertical Slip Rates from the Wasatch Fault Zone, Utah: Implications for Fault Segmentation from Lake Bonneville Shorelines
Authors: Howe Julia , Jewell Paul , Bruhn Ronald 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn an effort to better understand the Pleistocene history of the Wasatch fault zone, we evaluate the deformation and displacement of the Bonneville and Provo high‐stand shorelines of Lake Bonneville along the Wasatch Front. We apply an automated shoreline elevation measurement application developed as part of this study to measure Lake Bonneville shoreline elevations along the Weber and Brigham City segments of the fault, adding to a previously published dataset of shoreline elevations on the Salt Lake City segment. Tectonically deformed shorelines on the footwall of the fault demonstrate elevation patterns that are inconsistent with the idea that the Pleasant View salient, a bedrock salient marking the segment boundary between the Weber and Brigham City segments of the fault, is a persistent barrier to fault rupture since the late Pleistocene. Shoreline features are elevated ∼20  m across the segment boundary as compared to shoreline features on the northern part of the Brigham City segment. We suggest the possibility that fault rupture through the Pleasant View salient has been common since the late Pleistocene and speculate that a similar relationship could exist between the Provo and Salt Lake City segments, based on similarities between the shoreline elevation patterns on the Brigham City and Salt Lake City segments of the fault. Vertical slip rates measured from displaced shorelines at the Pleasant View salient (Brigham City–Weber segment boundary) are generally higher compared to those at the Honeyville spur (Collinston–Brigham City segment boundary). Statistically significant vertical slip rates calculated from the Provo shoreline at the Pleasant View salient (0.8±0.5 to 0.9±0.6  mm/yr and 0.7±0.5 to 0.9±0.6  mm/yr) suggest that late Pleistocene vertical slip rates are slightly lower than Holocene rates; however, large uncertainties in the shoreline elevation measurements exist.
Performance of a Fracture Liaison Service in an Orthopaedic Setting
Authors: Senay Andréa , Perreault Sylvie , Delisle Josée , Morin Suzanne N. , Fernandes Julio C. 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Many Fracture Liaison Services (FLSs) have been successfully implemented, but very few incorporate systematic longitudinal follow-up. The objective of this study was to report on the performance of such an FLS using key performance indicators and longitudinal clinical outcomes.

Methods:
An FLS was implemented in 2 outpatient orthopaedic clinics. Men and women who were ≥40 years of age and had a recent fragility fracture were recruited. Participants were evaluated, treated when appropriate, and systematically followed over a 2-year period. Clinical data including chart review and questionnaires were collected. Medical services and hospitalization claims data were retrieved from administrative databases. The primary outcomes were the following key performance indicators: the numbers of investigated and treated patients, follow-up attendance, and the incidence of subsequent fractures. Secondary outcomes were the changes in bone turnover markers and quality of life, physical capacity, and pain scores between baseline and follow-up visits.

Results:
A total of 532 subjects with a mean age of 63.4 years were recruited; 85.7% were female. Bone mineral density results were collected for 472 subjects (88.7%) and a prescription for anti-osteoporosis medication was given to 86.6% of patients. Overall, 83.6% of patients attended at least 1 follow-up visit. The subsequent fracture incidence rate was 2.6 per 100 person-years (23 fractures). The mean level of type-I collagen C-telopeptide (CTX-1), a bone resorption marker, decreased >35%. Clinically important improvements of functional capacity scores (by 14.4% to 63.7%) and pain level (by 19.3% to 35.7%) were observed over time; however, the increase in quality-of-life scores was not clinically important (by 3% to 15.2%).

Conclusions:
In this FLS, the rates of investigation, treatment, and participation were >80% over a 2-year period. The subsequent fragility fracture incidence rate was <3 per 100 person-years. These results suggest that an intensive FLS model of care, with a systematic longitudinal follow-up, is effective. A randomized controlled trial is needed to support these results.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the most common therapy in Kawasaki Disease (KD), but during this course, the inflammatory response remains unclear. We evaluated the relationship between inflammatory response and lymphocyte count in KD children with different ages undergoing IVIG, to identify the clues in lab parameters of therapeutic effect of IVIG on KD. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 60 KD children and divided the patients into five groups depending on different ages. We investigated the percentage of neutrophil reduced and that of lymphocyte increased after IVIG in all groups and explored the absolute cell count of CD19+ cells before therapy and the level of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in patients aged 4 years and older after IVIG with linear regression and correlation analysis. Results: During the acute phase of KD and after IVIG, patients’ percentage of reduced neutrophil correlated positively with the percentage of increased lymphocyte. With children grew older, the correlation coefficients valued higher which were respectively 0.91 (group of less than 1 year), 0.87 (1 year), 0.91 (2 years), 0.97 (3 years), 0.99 (4 years and older) with p value less than 0.01 in all of groups. Means of age in five groups correlated positively with the value of correlation coefficient (r = 0.88, P < 0.05). In the patients aged 4 years and older, abnormal higher CD19+ cell absolute count before the administration of IVIG correlated positively with the reduced IL-10 after the IVIG (r = 0.71, P < 0.05). Conclusions: During the acute phase of KD, the older the children’s age, the better the regulatory effect of IVIG on the immune response and the following recovery of immune equilibrium. In KD patient aged 4 years and older the abnormal proliferating CD19+ B cell played dominant role in the humoral immune and may be involved in the secretion of IL-10 to balance the overactive humoral immune. Combined assessment of CD19+ B cell absolute count with the expression of decreased IL-10 after IVIG may be potential to evaluate the effect of IVIG on inflammatory immune response in KD children with older age.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Objective: To describe a minimally invasive comprehensive treatment for granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) and compare its effect with the existing methods, particularly in terms of its recurrence rate and esthetic outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 69 GLM patients receiving the minimally invasive comprehensive treatment. Patients’ information, including age, clinical features, image characteristics, histopathological findings, mastitis history, treatment process, operative technique, recurrence, and esthetic effect, was evaluated.
Results: All patients were female with a median age of 32 (range 17 - 55) years. Hospital stays ranged from 2 to 34 days, with a median of 6 days. The shortest time for complete rehabilitation was 2 days and the longest time was 365 days, with a median of 30 days. After a median follow-up of 391 days (range 162 - 690), 7 patients (10.14%) relapsed. The average cosmetic score was 2.62 ± 0.57 points and was mainly related to the past treatment, especially the surgical history.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive comprehensive treatment is a new method for the treatment of GLM, ensuring a therapeutic effect while maintaining the breast beauty.
