Background and aim of the study: Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is defi ned asimpaired face recognition in the absence of brain injury or intellectual defi cit. Becauseof the complexity of validated face memory and perception tests, its online distributiongreatly improves the effectiveness and convenience of conducting research. Assessmentof DP occurrence in the Polish population concerning study sample collection andcharacteristics.Material and methods: An online questionnaire consisting of the 20-item ProsopagnosiaIndex (PI20) was administered to assess self-reported problems with face recognition.Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) and Glasgow Face Matching Test (GFMT)were applied to assess respondents’ face memory and perception. Additional data onrespondents’ gender, age and handedness were also obtained. All of the components werearranged together using Google Forms tool. Respondents were recruited via social mediaannouncements. The study was conducted from 1st January to 31st March 2019. Each ofthe respondents was provided with personalised results analysis, which was sent with ane-mail. They were also able to stay in contact with research authors, asking additional questionsand giving remarks.Results: During the study, a total of 1349 questionnaires were collected, out of which1276 met inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. 66.1% of the respondent groupwere females and 33.9% males. The mean age was 28.3 ± 9.5 years (range: 14-75). Themean PI20 score was 49.6 ± 18 (range: 20-99). In 11.8% of respondents PI20 result indicatedself-reported mild, in 8.3% moderate and in 3.9% severe DP. The mean CFMT totalscore was 58.1 (median: 59, range: 26-72) and mean GFMT score was 33.9 (median: 34,range: 18-40). According to the cutoff values from original papers, 81 (6.3%) of respondentsscored below threshold in CFMT, 27 (2.4%) in GFMT. Out of 50 respondents whoself-reported symptoms indicating severe DP, only 15 (30%) scored below the cutoff inCFMT and 6 (12%) in GFMT. On the contrary, 30 (3.1%) and 16 (1.4%) out of 970 respondentsreporting no problems with face recognition had total scores below the cutoff inCFMT and GFMT, respectively.Conclusions: The estimated prevalence of developmental prosopagnosia in Polishpopulation is higher than in normative data. These discrepancies may result from specifi cdemographics of participant group more than an online-character of the study. It is
important to focus on experiment design and methodology in order to maintain high quality ofcollected data. Development of country-specifi c norms and stimuli for face-recognitiontests should also be considered .

Published: May 2020

The Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos are the two archipelagos located in the East Vietnam Sea. In the geographic coordinate frame, the Hoang Sa archipelago is located more northward than the Truong Sa. Up to now many publications have discussed in detail structures of these archipelagos in terms of international and domestic scientific journals, the scientific workshop reports, as well as the outcome reports obtained from the research projects of different levels, such as state and ministry level projects. However the block characteristics of the two archipelago regions are still in controversy. By application of the new technique (Curvature Gravity Gradient Tensor - CGGT) for analysis and collection of the related available data, some new information about structural characteristics of the two blocks, such as their spatial distribution, the penetration of their boundaries and fault systems was obtained. According to the results, block characteristic is clearly reflected as a unique structural unit for Hoang Sa archipelago, which occupies a large area restricted mostly by the geographic coordinate frame: 111.2oE–113.2oE and 15.75oN–17.25oN. Here a large negative Hoang Sa structural block with the density less than 2.67 g/cm3 develops directly on a more negative regional structure. Unlike Hoang Sa block, the Truong Sa archipelago is not presented as a unique block. Its structure is divided into 3 main smaller blocks distributed along different directions. The first north - south structural block consists of a number of islands and sandbars: Dinh Ba, Song Tu Dong island, Song Tu Tay island, Thi Tu island, Ba Binh island, Ca Nham sandbar, Loai Ta island and Son Ca island, Nam Yet island, Truong Sa Lon island, Sinh Ton island, Ba Bau and Binh Nguyen island. The second structural block along the northeast - southwest direction includes the following islands and sandbars: Da Lat, Truong Sa island, Da Tay, Da Dong, Chau Vinh. The remaining Phan Vinh island, Toc Tan sandbar, Nui Le, Ky Van, Tham Hiem sandbar and Kieu Ngua sandbar are distributed in the third structural block. In addition, all the 3 blocks are the negative structures. In terms of geological structural boundaries: The estimated depth of the boundaries (uplifts, subduction zones, or faults,...) on Hoang Sa archipelago only reaches a maximum of 20 km. Meanwhile, that on Truong Sa archipelago is possibly over 20 km.
A Probabilistic Model of Aquifer Susceptibility to Earthquake-Induced Groundwater-Level Changes

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACTA probabilistic model for earthquake-induced persistent groundwater-level response as a function of peak ground velocity (PGV) has been constructed using a catalog of monitoring well observations spanning multiple earthquakes. The regional-scale, multi-site, multi-earthquake investigation addresses the occurrence and absence of hydraulic responses to large earthquakes spanning almost a decade of seismic shaking. Persistent groundwater-level changes, or absences of change, have been quantified in 495 monitoring wells in response to one or more of 11 recent New Zealand earthquakes larger than Mw 5.4 that occurred between 2008 and 2017. A binary logistic regression model with random effects has been applied to the dataset using three predictors: earthquake shaking (PGV), degree of hydrogeological confinement (monitoring well depth), and rock strength (site-average shear-wave velocity). Random effects were included as a partial proxy for variations in monitoring wells’ susceptibilities to earthquake-induced persistent water-level changes. Marginal probabilities have been calculated as a function of PGV and related to modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) levels using a New Zealand-specific MMI–PGV relationship that enables the likelihood of persistent water-level changes to be expressed for MMIs of II–VIII. This study capitalizes on one of the largest catalogs of earthquake hydrological observations compiled worldwide and is the first attempt at incorporating seismic and hydrogeological factors in a common probabilistic description of earthquake-induced groundwater-level changes. This modeling framework provides a more generalizable approach to quantifying responses than alternative metrics based on epicentral distance, magnitude, and seismic energy density. It has potential to enable better comparison of international studies and to inform practitioners making engineering or investment decisions to mitigate risk and increase the resilience of water-supply infrastructure.
The 29 March 2017 Yuzhno-Ozernovskoe Kamchatka Earthquake: Fault Activity in An Extension of the East Kamchatka Fault Zone as Constrained by InSAR Observations

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACTRecent earthquakes off the northeastern Kamchatka coast reveal that this region is seismically active, although details of the locations and complexity of the fault system are lacking. The northern part of Kamchatka has poor coverage by permanent seismic stations and ground geodetic instruments. Here, we exploit the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) technique to characterize the fault geometry and kinematics associated with the 29 March 2017 Mw 6.6 Yuzhno-Ozernovskoe earthquake. The aim is to contribute to identifying the active fault branches and to better understanding the complex tectonic regime in this region using the DInSAR technique, which has never before been applied to the analysis of coseismic offsets in Kamchatka.We produced coseismic deformation maps using Advanced Land Observation Satellite-2 ascending and descending and Sentinel-1A descending Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scenes and detected a predominant uplift up to 20 cm and a westward motion of approximately 7 cm near the shoreline. We jointly inverted the three geodetic datasets using elastic half-space fault modeling to retrieve source geometry and fault kinematics. The best-fit solution for the nonlinear inversion suggests a north–west-dipping oblique reverse fault with right-lateral rupture.The model fault geometry is not only generally consistent with the seismic data but also reveals that a hitherto unknown fault was ruptured. The identified fault structure is interpreted as the northern extension of the east Kamchatka fault zone, implying that the region is more complex than previously thought. Important implications arise for the presence of unknown faults at the edges of subduction zones that can generate earthquakes with magnitudes greater than Mw 6.
A Ground-Motion Prediction Equation for Fennoscandian Nuclear Installations

Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT
We propose a ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of nuclear installations in Finland. We collected and archived the acceleration recordings of 77 earthquakes from seismic stations on very hard rock (VHR, i.e., the shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 m of the geological profile=2800  m/s according to the definition used in the nuclear industry) in Finland and Sweden since 2006 and computed the corresponding response spectra important for engineering evaluation. We augmented the narrow magnitude range of the local data by a subset of VHR recordings of 33 earthquakes from the Next Generation Attenuation for Central and Eastern North America (CENA) (NGA-East) database, mainly from eastern Canada. We adapted the backbone curves of the G16 equation proposed by Graizer (2016) for CENA. After the calibration, we evaluated the accuracy of the median prediction and the random error. We conclude that the GMPE developed can be used for predicting ground motions in Fennoscandia. Because of compatibility with the original G16 backbone curve and comparisons with the NGA-East GMPEs, we estimate that the formulation proposed is valid on VHR over the range of 2≤moment magnitude≤7.0 and 0≤ rupture distance ≤300  km, the depth range over 1.5–37 km, and frequencies between 1 and 100 Hz. The median of the composite prediction of the GMPE proposed was reasonable. The standard deviation of the prediction error (σ) was over the range of 0.73–0.86, in ln spectral acceleration units, for the relevant spectral frequencies. This is somewhat lower than the G16 σ, indicating lower aleatory variability. The new Fenno-G16 GMPE is applicable over a wider range of magnitudes than the two older GMPEs available in Finland and fits the data better, especially for peak ground acceleration and 25 Hz.

Authors: Kauser Uzma , Chaudhari Anjali 
Published: May 2020

Background: Hypertensive in pregnancy is the second most common cause of maternal mortality in India. Among the hypertensive disorders that complicate pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and eclampsia stand out as major causes of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The majority of deaths due to pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are avoidable through the provision of timely and effective care to the women presenting with these complications. Objectives of this study were to find out the effectiveness of intravascular and intramuscular magnesium sulfate in management of eclampsia. To compare the side effects and complications of intravascular and intramuscular magnesium sulfate in management of eclampsia.Methods: A total 100 patients presenting with eclamptic fits reporting to the center that has been included in the study. The study has been conducted in the labor room of Nehru Chikitsalaya of B. R. D. Medical College, Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh for 12 months duration period. Statistical analysis of observations has been done by Chi-square test with p-value <0.05 has been considered in the study.Results: Majority of eclampsia patients belonged to 20-25 years age group (63%) followed by above 30 years of age (22%). Nearly 16% patients in IM MgSO4 group and 12% patients in IV MgSO4 received recurrence of seizure after starting of treatment (p value >0.5). About 26% patients in IM MgSO4 group and 18% patients in IV MgSO4 group had mild side effects of MgSO4 but no patients in both the group had major side effects of MgSO4.Conclusions: The study concludes that intramuscular injection of MgSO4 is painful and the chances of abscess formation that's why compliance of intramuscular MgSO4 is not very good in compared to intravascular infusion of MgSO4. The chances of Mg toxicity are more MgSO4 regimen because of the dose required in IM MgSO4 regimen is more (44gm) that of IV MgSO4 (28 gm).

Synthesis of Boiler Controllers of the Automatic Power Control System of Power Units
Authors: Kulakov G. T. , Artsiomenka K. I. 
Published: May 2020

The article concerns the problem of structure-and-parametric optimization of a cascade automatic control system (CACS) by an example of a boiler power controller and a fuel controller. This CACS, which is a part of automatic control systems for power units, consists of two loops, viz. of an inner loop (which purpose is stabilization of the system) and an outer loop (designed for the adjustment) and, also, of two controller, viz. an outer controller (which is a basic one) provided for stabilization of the output value of the object (in our case, of the actual power unit capacity) and of an inner controller (which is an auxiliary one) provided to regulate fuel consumption. The internal controller builds up the control action with the aid of the boiler load controller of the power unit. As compared to single-loop automatic control systems, the cascade system provides better quality of transient control due to the higher performance of the internal loop of the system. This advantage is especially noticeable when compensating for disturbances that come through the channel of regulating impact. The article presents two methods of setting, viz. the fuel controller and the boiler power controller. The application of these methods can improve the quality of power control and reduce fuel consumption in transient modes in comparison with the setting of these controllers of a typical power unit automatic power control system. The results of computer simulation of transient processes in CACS for input step surge and internal perturbation confirm the advantages of the methods are presented in this article.
Computational Study of the Yield of Solid Wood Pyrolysis Products under High Pressure
Authors: Vasilevich S. V. , Malko M. V. , Degterov D. V. , Asadchyi A. N. 
Published: May 2020

The kinetic model of wood pyrolysis under pressure is discussed in the present paper taking into account the diffusion of the resulting gas-phase products (i.e. heavy hydrocarbons) and their decomposition reactions. This model is based on a simplified mechanism of wood pyrolysis, including two parallel chemical reactions, viz. the primary decomposition reaction of wood biomass with the formation of solid and gaseous components and the thermal decomposition reaction in the biomass pores of hydrocarbons formed in the primary process. The model takes into account the diffusion processes of the primary pyrolysis products from the resulting pores and thermal decomposition in the pores of these products. Based on the developed model, a computer program for calculating the main parameters of the pyrolysis process under pressure was created and the mass yield of solid pyrolysis products under various conditions was calculated. The calculation took into account the main parameters that affect the yield of solid wood biomass products, viz. temperature and pyrolysis pressure, particle sizes, porosity, etc. The calculations demonstrated that the increase of the pressure at which the pyrolysis of wood biomass is carried out causes an increase of the formation of the amount of solid products, which corresponds to the available experimental data. It was established that at a pressure of 1 atm when a sample size is of 0.025 m, the maximum yield of solid products is observed at the temperature of 600 °C. As the pressure increases the maximum yield increases, while the temperature at which the maximum is reached decreases. So, at a pressure of 10 atm when a particle size is of 0.025 m, the maximum yield of solid products is observed at the temperature of about 500 °C, and it is higher than that at 1 atm by 1.18 times. It was also determined that the temperature of the maximum yield of charcoal decreases with increasing sizes of pyrolyzable samples. Thus, when a sample size is of 0.5 m, this temperature is about 400 °C at 10 atm.
Case Study: Reconstructing the 2015 Dulcepamba River Flood Disaster
Authors: Newmiller Jeanette , Walker Wesley , Fleenor William E. , Pinter Nicholas 
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT
In March 2015, the village of San Pablo de Amalí on the Dulcepamba River in Ecuador was hit by a flood that killed three residents, destroyed five homes, and eroded several hectares of farmland. Residents asserted that the recent construction of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric facility built in the river channel directed flood flows toward the village, causing the associated damage and fatalities. We conducted a forensic hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the catchment to assess potential causal mechanisms affecting flooding, including the construction of the hydroelectric facility. Hydrologic analysis demonstrated that the river flows produced by the March 2015 storm were equivalent to a 6-year return interval event, with a discharge of 58.6 cms, not the much more extreme 33-year return interval, 400-cms event that had been suggested in a report produced by the hydroelectric company. Hydraulic modeling determined an ∼2-m elevation surcharge of water attributable to the hydroelectric facility, suggesting that damage to the village would not have occurred without the obstruction created by debris blockage of the hydroelectric plant intake. Hydrologic modeling also quantified monthly totals of water availability in the Dulcepamba watershed, including average dry-season flow volumes. When compared to flow volumes allocated to the hydroelectric operator, the modeling indicated that the seasonal water availability in the Dulcepamba watershed is not sufficient to collectively meet the minimum in-stream environmental flow requirements, the agriculture demands from local subsistence irrigators, and the flow volumes allocated to the hydroelectric operator.
