A Cyclical Model of Engagement of People With Intellectual Disabilities (ID) in Participatory Action Research (PAR)
Authors: Schwartz Ariel , Kramer Jessica , Cohn Ellen , McDonald Katherine 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/04/19
PAR is one approach to involving stakeholders in research. We conducted interviews with academic researchers (n=7) and coresearchers with ID (n=6) to develop a model describing the process of engagement in PAR for people with ID. Results suggest the solicitation of input from coresearchers with ID initiates a cycle of increasing engagement and input. Application of this model could lead to more socially valid OT research.

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
Women in social housing are situated in environments that may impose negative impacts on their psychosocial health. We used an exploratory, sequential, mixed-methods design to identify the met and unmet psychosocial needs and disabilities experienced by this population. Several psychosocial needs of the women went unmet, and disability was significant. Participants identified several areas for how their needs could be addressed. Research and practice implications will be explored.

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
Family caregivers are integral to our healthcare and long-term services and supports system. As such, effective collaboration must exist between OT and other healthcare providers and family caregivers when their loved ones are hospitalized and when they are discharged to home and community settings. We identify and describe types of interactions and barriers to these interactions, among healthcare providers, hospitalized older adults, and family caregivers.

Another Look at Two Participation Measures for Civilians With Traumatic Brain Injury
Authors: Wen Pey-Shan , Waid-Ebbs Julia 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/07/19
Promoting participation is the core practice of OT. As ideal participation is so individualized and affected by personal and environmental factors, to date we still have not reached consensus on what the gold standard is for measuring participation outcome. This study compared construct validity of two participation measures commonly used in traumatic brain injury. We aimed to help clinicians select a psychometric sound instrument to identify those with participation challenges.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/07/19
We describe a new approach for assessing executive functions in everyday life and its unique expression in adolescents with epilepsy, using the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA). The WCPA provides functionally relevant information on task performance and strategy use that can guide intervention and measure outcomes. We recommend that OTs assess EF among adolescents with epilepsy using a performance-based assessment.

Historic hydrological droughts 1891–2015: systematic characterisation for a diverse set of catchments across the UK
Authors: Barker Lucy J. , Hannaford Jamie , Parry Simon , Smith Katie A. , Tanguy Maliko , Prudhomme Christel 
Published: November 2019

Abstract. Hydrological droughts occur in all climate zones and can have severe impacts on society and the environment. Understanding historical
drought occurrence and quantifying severity is crucial for underpinning
drought risk assessments and developing drought management plans.
However, hydrometric records are often short and capture only a limited
range of variability. The UK is no exception: numerous severe droughts over
the past 50 years have been well captured by observations from a dense
hydrometric network. However, a lack of long-term observations means that
our understanding of drought events in the early 20th century and late
19th century is limited. Here we take advantage of new reconstructed
flow series for 1891 to 2015 to identify and characterise historic
hydrological droughts for 108 near-natural catchments across the UK using
the standardised streamflow index (SSI). The identified events are ranked
according to four event characteristics (duration, accumulated deficit, mean
deficit and maximum intensity), and their severity is reviewed in the context
of events of the recent past (i.e. the last 50 years). This study represents the first national-scale assessment and ranking of hydrological droughts. Whilst known major drought events were identified, we also shed light on events which were regionally important, such as those in 1921 and 1984 (which were important in the south-east and north-west of the UK, respectively). Events which have been poorly documented, such as those of the 1940s in the post-war years or the early 1970s (prior to the landmark 1975–1976 event), were found to be important in terms of their spatial coverage and severity. This improved knowledge of historic events can support improved long-term water resource planning approaches. Given the universal importance of historical drought appraisal, our systematic approach to historical drought assessment provides a methodology that could be applied in other settings internationally.
From Religious Rituals to Popular Theatre: Evolution of the Mulian Legend

It has also been the subject of numerous operas from many regions of the country from the eleventh century to the present. It is even considered the beginning of Chinese drama. This study investigates how this story of Indic origin has become a Chinese cultural phenomenon by tracing its long evolution and process of Sinification. It also discusses the relationship between rituals and stage performances of this legend.
Women and Crafting the Self in Moniro Ravanipour’s Novels
Authors: Shahnahpour Saeedeh 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In the late 1980s, when feminist discourse became prevalent in Persian literature, a new generation of female writers appeared in Iran who used fiction, both short story and novel, as a literary vehicle to express their feelings and desires, and to criticize the gender gap and women’s social restrictions. Their writings thus offered a new outlook on how literature can shape the discourse of self-expression. As one of the most acclaimed female writers of postrevolutionary Iran, Moniro Ravanipour employs fiction, with autobiographical overtones, to express herself as a woman, a writer, and a native of the southern region of Iran. This article analyzes Ravanipour’s novels: Ahl-i Gharq (The drowned, 1989), Dil-i Fūlād (Heart of steel, 1990), and Kowlī Kinār-i Ātash (Gypsy by the fire, 1999) to highlight the representation of rural, urban, and tribal women—three types who have, albeit in different ways, adapted and changed both law and lifestyle to survive in an Iranian patriarchal society. It will also reveal the author’s concerns about femininity through analysis of her female protagonists, each of whom is an avatar of Ravanipour in the fictional world.
The Zn-Pb Mineralization of Florida Canyon, an Evaporite-Related Mississippi Valley-Type Deposit in the Bongará District, Northern Peru

Published: November 2019

AbstractThe Florida Canyon evaporite-related Zn-Pb sulfide deposit, in northern Peru, is one of the largest Mississippi Valley-type deposits in South America. Triassic carbonate and former evaporite-bearing rocks of the Pucará Group host the orebodies that constitute two different styles: (1) predominantly stratabound ore associated with hydrocarbon-rich porous dolostones and evaporite dissolution breccias and (2) high-grade ore associated with evaporite breccias representing diapiric injections along faults. A dome structure that controls the location of the ore deposit was defined by drill hole spatial data; the dome likely resulted from halokinetic processes during Andean deformation. NNE-trending, steeply dipping secondary faults linked to major northwest structures appear to control the distribution of ore grades in the deposit. Mineralization postdated hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. Strontium, carbon, and oxygen data isotope signatures allow distinction between pre- and synmineralization carbonate stages. The sulfur isotope composition of sulfides in the deposit suggests they precipitated as the result of mixing of a metal-rich fluid with resident hydrogen sulfide in the dome. Local thermochemical sulfate reduction may have contributed to the reduced sulfur budget during mineralization.

Published: November 2019

In order to determine hydrogen peroxide condensing from gaseous and liquid phases screen-printed electrodes with controlled and adjustable thickness, shape and size of the working electrode as well as electrode paste composition were investigated. For this purpose Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles with a different particle size distribution of 20-30 nm (synthesized) and 60-100 nm (commercially available) were mixed with carbon paste and screen-printed on Al2O3 templates to establish H2O2-sensitive electrode. These two types of screen-printed sensors were compared to the commercial one during measurements in H2O2/water solutions at concentrations between 10-5 and 10-2 M H2O2. The linear signal in the investigated concentration range was found only for the sensor with the commercially available PB particles. Thus, this sensor prepared with PB particles of the size 60-100 nm showed the most reproducible and time-stable response versus the analyte in comparison to the others. This result offers the possibility to create sensors with adjustable design adapted to the concrete functionality. Thin films of collecting electrolytes based on agarose gels were printed on the sensor structures. They showed a distinct response on the application of H2O2-containing aerosols and gaseous phase.
Single-molecule real-time sequencing identifies massive full-length cDNAs and alternative-splicing events that facilitate comparative and functional genomics study in the hexaploid crop sweet potato
Authors: Ding Na , Cui Huihui , Miao Ying , Tang Jun , Cao Qinghe , Luo Yonghai 
Published: November 2019

Background
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is one of the most important crops in many developing countries and provides a candidate source of bioenergy. However, neither a complete reference genome nor large-scale full-length cDNA sequences for this outcrossing hexaploid crop are available, which in turn impedes progress in research studies in I. batatas functional genomics and molecular breeding.

Methods
In this study, we sequenced full-length transcriptomes in I. batatas and its diploid ancestor I. trifida by single-molecule real-time sequencing and Illumina second-generation sequencing technologies. With the generated datasets, we conducted comprehensive intraspecific and interspecific sequence analyses and experimental characterization.

Results
A total of 53,861/51,184 high-quality long-read transcripts were obtained, which covered about 10,439/10,452 loci in the I. batatas/I. trifida genome. These datasets enabled us to predict open reading frames successfully in 96.83%/96.82% of transcripts and identify 34,963/33,637 full-length cDNA sequences, 1,401/1,457 transcription factors, 25,315/27,090 simple sequence repeats, 1,656/1,389 long non-coding RNAs, and 5,251/8,901 alternative splicing events. Approximately, 32.34%/38.54% of transcripts and 46.22%/51.18% multi-exon transcripts underwent alternative splicing in I. batatas/I. trifida. Moreover, we validated one alternative splicing event in each of 10 genes and identified tuberous-root-specific expressed isoforms from a starch-branching enzyme, an alpha-glucan phosphorylase, a neutral invertase, and several ABC transporters. Overall, the collection and analysis of large-scale long-read transcripts generated in this study will serve as a valuable resource for the I. batatas research community, which may accelerate the progress in its structural, functional, and comparative genomics studies.
Two new species and the molecular phylogeography of the freshwater crab genus Bottapotamon (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae)

Published: November 2019

Bottapotamon chenzhouense sp. n. and B. luxiense sp. n. are described from Hunan Province and Jiangxi Province, respectively. These species both have diagnostic features of the genus Bottapotamon and discernible characteristics as new species. B. chenzhouense sp. n. can be distinguished from co-geners by features such as the G1, which has a fold covering the surface of the entire subterminal article with a distal region. B. luxiense sp. n. has an elliptical carapace, and a sturdy and blunt terminal article of G1. The molecular phylogeny and biogeography of the genus Bottapotamon (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamidae) were studied, using mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtDNA COI), 16S rRNA and nuclear histone H3 gene fragments. The results support the assignment of the two new species to the genus Bottapotamon. In addition, the divergence time of the genus Bottapotamon was estimated to be 3.49–1.08 Ma, which coincided with various vicariant and dispersal events that occurred in the geological area where the genus Bottapotamon is commonly distributed. Mountains appear to have played an important role in the distribution of this genus. The Wuyi Mountains gradually formed offshore and inland of southeastern China by the compression of the Pacific plate and the Indian plate in the Neogene-Quaternary, and the Luoxiao Mountains formed continuously in the continued forming in the north-south direction because of neotectonic movement, have resulted in the geographical distribution pattern of the genus Bottapotamon, which was also established gradually.
Accelerated Life Testing

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Accelerated testing is a set of methods that attempts to replicate and predict the quantitative effect on product life of what are assumed to be the most important degradation mechanisms determining product life in actual service. In all accelerated testing approaches, one or more physical degradation methods are applied to promote failure. The history and limitations of accelerated testing and mathematical tools for modeling product lifetime as a function of acceleration mechanisms are discussed.
Forest Inventory
Authors: Comas Carles , Mateu Jorge 
Published: November 2019

AbstractForest inventory is a systematic collection of forest data over a well‐defined land area. This includes, for instance, the accounting of trees and their related characteristics of interest, such as the number of trees, tree species, and tree volume. It may be compared to census methods for human populations, where, for example, one of the goals can be to enumerate human population and to retrieve demographic variables such as age, sex, and race. Forest inventories seek to enumerate the population of trees within a forest and ascertain other information, such as their volume, value, growth, and species composition. For all but the smallest tracts of land, complete enumeration of individuals is usually infeasible and survey sampling techniques are required. Moreover, tree populations vary widely in their species composition, age, size, site requirements, potential value, longevity, and growth – all factors that may influence the design of a forest inventory. In addition, the tree population of interest may exist over a wide variety of topography, making access potentially costly and sometimes even dangerous. Such variety often dictates sampling protocols that may be optimal only for some portion of the population in question. Alternatively, it may call for varying sampling intensity or strategy (the combination of the sampling design and associated estimators) between different regions within the population.
Generalization Error for Decision Problems
Authors: Laber Eric B. , Qian Min 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn this entry, we review the generalization error for classification and single‐stage decision problems. We distinguish three alternative definitions of the generalization error that have, at times, been conflated in the statistics literature and show that these definitions need not be equivalent, even asymptotically. Because the generalization error is a nonsmooth functional of the underlying generative model, standard asymptotic approximations, for example, the bootstrap or normal approximations, cannot guarantee correct frequentist operating characteristics without modification. We provide simple data‐adaptive procedures that can be used to construct asymptotically valid confidence sets for the generalization error. We conclude the entry with a discussion of extensions and related problems.
Organizational Benchmarking for Airport Management
Authors: Wu Paul Pao‐Yen , Mengersen Kerrie 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Benchmarking has emerged in the past 30 years as a critical tool for performance assessment and management of airports. Due to the complex systems' nature of airports, characterized by multiple objectives, complex interactions, and uncertainty, making appropriate benchmarks and suitable comparisons between airports is challenging. We review existing methods for this purpose including Data Envelopment Analysis, a deterministic, nonparametric approach suited for determining relative efficiencies and Stochastic Frontier Analysis, a parametric approach that captures uncertainty. We also review Total Factor Productivity and hierarchical clustering and their application in airport benchmarks such as ATRS.

AbstractAntibiotics are an important part of medical practice for the treatment of bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance has become one of the world's most critical public health threats. Clinical trials are used to compare strategies of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of bacterial infections. Antibiotic trials involve many scientific and practical challenges that need to be considered during trial design, conduct, and analysis. We review some of these challenges, discuss innovative approaches, and provide recommendations for addressing them to better inform practical medical decision‐making.
Pedestrian Safety Analysis

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Pedestrian safety is a matter of concern in almost every country. Data on pedestrian crash counts and severities are collected by transportation agencies in many countries, along with data on variables that can explain the patterns in crashes at certain types of locations and over time. While these crashes are thankfully rare events, nevertheless they can be fatal or cause significant corporal or financial damage. Over the years, several avenues of scientific investigations have enabled an understanding of pedestrian safety. This article brings together many of the main issues in this area.
Comparative performance analysis for abdominal phantom ROI detectability according to CT reconstruction algorithm: ADMIRE
Authors: Shin Jun‐Bong , Yoon Do‐Kun , Pak Seongyong , Kwon Yang‐Ho , Suh Tae Suk 
Published: November 2019

PurposeWe compared and analyzed the detectability performance pertaining to an abdominal phantom including a region of interest (ROI) according to a computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithm.MethodsThree types of reconstruction algorithms (FBP, SAFIRE, and ADMIRE) were used to evaluate the detectability performance using the abdominal phantom (phantom size: 25 × 18 × 28 cm3). The vendor default settings for routine multi‐detector computed tomography abdominal scans were used. As the quantitative evaluation method, the contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR), difference in coefficient of variation (COV) with the normalization based on the FBP data, and the noise power spectrum (NPS) were measured.ResultsThe characteristic of the ADMIRE‐3 reconstructed image was higher than those of the FBP and SAFIRE‐3 reconstructed images. The CNR values of the SAFIRE and ADMIRE images were much higher than the corresponding values of the FBP images. The difference in COV values for the ADMIRE images was ~1.2 times lower than the corresponding values of the SAFIRE images.ConclusionThe comparative analysis of the abdominal phantom low‐contrast resolution differences for each CT exposure parameters showed that ADMIRE demonstrated better results than SAFIRE and FBP in terms of contrast, CNR, COV difference, and 1D NPS. This indicates that ADMIRE can provide a clearer observation even with the same number of contrast objects as compared to SAFIRE and FBP owing to its better contrast resolution in the central part of the contrast hole at low kV.
