The implication of the increase in storm frequency and intensity to coastal housing markets
Authors: Kim Seung Kyum , Peiser Richard B. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThis paper analyzes the effects of storm frequency and intensity on housing values in Miami‐Dade County over the last three decades. We found that higher storm exposure accelerates the housing price discount caused by augmented flood risk. The adverse effects of frequency and intensity have different impacts on perception of flood probabilities. Storm frequency affects housing prices in lower flood risk areas, whereas intensity influences the market in the higher risk zone, due to the different risk perceptions between the two factors. The results shed light on how increases in storm frequency and intensity impact the dynamics of flood risk perception in different floodplains on the coastal housing markets, suggesting future directions of flood prevention policies. Our findings highlight that one additional hurricane event is associated with a housing price discount of 1.3%. This adverse impact of frequency increases to 2.0% in the 500‐year floodplain zones, while higher storm intensity reduces housing values in the 100‐year floodplain zones by 1.5%.

AbstractProliferative gill disease (PGD) caused by the myxozoan Henneguya ictaluri is one of the most damaging diseases affecting U.S. catfish aquaculture. In channel and hybrid catfish, continuous exposure to the actinospore stage of the parasite elicits a destructive branchitis, impairing osmoregulatory and respiratory function. Mortality can reach 100% in severe outbreaks. Despite similarities during acute stages of infection, research indicates arrested development in hybrid catfish, evinced by reduced H. ictaluri sporogenesis and comparably less parasite DNA in hybrid tissues across the developmental timeline. To assess these findings at the pond level, 18, 0.4‐ha ponds were stocked (3,000 fish/pond) with channel (n = 9) or hybrid (n = 9) catfish fingerlings and maintained as monoculture systems for three production cycles, with clean harvests and restocking as warranted. Water was collected monthly for quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) estimations of H. ictaluri DNA, and sentinel fish were utilized to estimate PGD severity. By the second year, H. ictaluri DNA in hybrid systems was significantly reduced, and PGD lesions in sentinel fish were negligible. Assessment of parasite loads in fish harvested at the termination of the study revealed H. ictaluri DNA in channel catfish to be an order of magnitude higher than hybrid catfish. These results support previous work suggesting that the production of hybrid catfish may reduce PGD incidence in U.S. catfish aquaculture.
Standardization for reliable uroflowmetry testing in adults

Published: May 2020

AbstractObjectivesTo assess if a standard hydration protocol will achieve voided volumes over 150 mL and more reliable uroflowmetry results.MethodsThis is a single‐blinded crossover study of 40 patients with benign prostatic obstruction and 34 healthy volunteers. Subjects were enrolled prospectively between January and March 2019. All subjects performed two randomly ordered uroflowmetry tests. One test was performed when subjects sensed their bladder was full and had the urge to void and another one after emptying the bladder and ingesting 1.5 L of water within 1 hour (prehydration). Uroflowmetry parameters were compared between the benign prostatic obstruction group and the healthy volunteers. Uroflowmetry results were categorized as reliable, residual, and suboptimal with respect to voided volumes. This study has been registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000035446).ResultsThe benign prostatic obstruction group and the healthy volunteer group presented no difference in respect of uroflowmetry test reliability (P = .459). Uroflowmetry results were reliable in 58 (78.4%) subjects in the prehydrated group and was reliable in 30 (40.5%) subjects in the non‐prehydrated group. The difference was statistically significant (P < .05). In the benign prostatic obstruction group and healthy volunteer group, the rate of reliable uroflowmetry tests was significantly higher with prehydration (P < .05). The comparative analysis of uroflowmetry parameters between tests performed with and without prehydration revealed higher values in the prehydrated group (voided volume, maximum flow rate, average flow rate, and postvoiding residual volume; P < .05).ConclusionPrehydration of patients with 1.5 L of water within 1 hour before uroflowmetry improves uroflowmetry outcomes. By this hydration protocol, the chance to obtain a voided volume over 150 mL is increased significantly.
Integrative species delimitation reveals cryptic diversity in the southern Appalachian Antrodiaetus unicolor (Araneae: Antrodiaetidae) species complex

AbstractAlthough species delimitation can be highly contentious, the development of reliable methods to accurately ascertain species boundaries is an imperative step in cataloguing and describing Earth's quickly disappearing biodiversity. Spider species delimitation remains largely based on morphological characters; however, many mygalomorph spider populations are morphologically indistinguishable from each other yet have considerable molecular divergence. The focus of our study, the Antrodiaetus unicolor species complex containing two sympatric species, exhibits this pattern of relative morphological stasis with considerable genetic divergence across its distribution. A past study using two molecular markers, COI and 28S, revealed that A. unicolor is paraphyletic with respect to A. microunicolor. To better investigate species boundaries in the complex, we implement the cohesion species concept and use multiple lines of evidence for testing genetic exchangeability and ecological interchangeability. Our integrative approach includes extensively sampling homologous loci across the genome using a RADseq approach (3RAD), assessing population structure across their geographic range using multiple genetic clustering analyses that include structure, principal components analysis and a recently developed unsupervised machine learning approach (Variational Autoencoder). We evaluate ecological similarity by using large‐scale ecological data for niche‐based distribution modelling. Based on our analyses, we conclude that this complex has at least one additional species as well as confirm species delimitations based on previous less comprehensive approaches. Our study demonstrates the efficacy of genomic‐scale data for recognizing cryptic species, suggesting that species delimitation with one data type, whether one mitochondrial gene or morphology, may underestimate true species diversity in morphologically homogenous taxa with low vagility.
When Asking “What” and “How” Helps You Win: Mimicry of Interrogative Terms Facilitates Successful Online Negotiations

Published: May 2020

AbstractStrategic word mimicry during negotiations facilitates better outcomes. We explore mimicry of specific word categories and perceptions of rapport, trust, and liking as underlying mechanisms. Dyads took part in an online negotiation exercise in which word mimicry was manipulated: Participants were instructed to mimic each other’s words (both‐mimic), one participant mimicked the other (half‐mimic), or neither participant mimicked (neither‐mimic). When given a simple instruction to mimic their partner, participants mimicked both the style (personal pronouns, adverbs, linguistic style, interrogative terms) and the content (affiliation terms, power terms, and assents) of their partner’s messages. Mimicry was associated with greater joint and individual points gain and perceptions of rapport from the mimicked partner. Further, mimicry of interrogative terms (e.g., how, why) mediated positive effects of mimicry upon negotiation outcomes, suggesting the coordination of question asking between negotiators is an important strategy to create beneficial interactions and add value in negotiations.

Summary

Unloading sugar from sink phloem by transporters is complex and much remains to be understood about this phenomenon in the watermelon fruit.

Here, we report a novel vacuolar sugar transporter (ClVST1) identified through map‐based cloning and association study, whose expression in fruit phloem is associated with accumulation of sucrose (Suc) in watermelon fruit. ClVST197 knockout lines show decreased sugar content and total biomass, whereas overexpression of ClVST197 increases Suc content.

Population genomic and subcellular localization analyses strongly suggest a single‐base change at the coding region of ClVST197 as a major molecular event during watermelon domestication, which results in the truncation of 45 amino acids and shifts the localization of ClVST197 to plasma membranes in sweet watermelons. Molecular, biochemical and phenotypic analyses indicate that ClVST197 is a novel sugar transporter for Suc and glucose efflux and unloading.

Functional characterization of ClVST1 provides a novel strategy to increase sugar sink potency during watermelon domestication.

AbstractBackgroundProgrammed long AV delays and intrinsic long first degree AV block may increase risk for competitive atrial pacing (CAP) in devices without CAP avoidance algorithms.MethodsPatients identified with CAP‐induced mode switch episodes were followed clinically from September 2013 to August 2019. Attempts to avoid CAP included shortening of postventricular atrial refractory period (PVARP) or postventricular atrial blanking period (PVAB), or change to AAI or DDI modes. After observing associations with sensor‐driven pacing, rate response was inactivated in a subset.ResultsAmong 23 patients identified with CAP (22 St Jude Medical [Abbott]; one Boston Scientific Corporation devices), atrial fibrillation (AF) was induced in 12 (52%), lasting 10 seconds to 28 hours and 32 minutes. In one patient with an ICD CAP‐induced AF with rapid ventricular rates that triggered a shock, inducing ventricular fibrillation, syncope, and another shock. Changing AV delays and shortening of PVARP failed to resolve CAP. After noting that all had CAP during sensor‐driven pacing, rate response was inactivated in seven, resolving further device‐induced AF in the three of seven that had prior CAP‐induced AF. In two patients with intact AV conduction, AAI(R) pacing resolved further documentation of CAP.ConclusionsCAP predominantly occurs during sensor‐driven atrial pacing that competes with intrinsic atrial events falling in PVARP. Inactivation of the activity sensor or change to atrial‐based pacing modes (AAI/R) appears to effectively prevent induction of device‐induced atrial proarrhythmia. Ultimately, a corrective algorithm is needed to avoid CAP‐induced proarrhythmia.

AbstractBackgroundUncooperative pediatric mask induction is linked to perioperative anxiety. Although some risk factors for uncooperative inductions have been reported, there are no large cohort studies that identify intrinsic patient characteristics associated with cooperation.AimThe primary aim was to identify patient characteristics associated with cooperative mask inductions. The secondary aim was to determine whether preoperative interventions were associated with increased cooperation.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients 2‐11 years old and ASA class I‐IV who underwent mask induction. Our primary outcome of interest was cooperation with mask induction, which was correlated against the Induction Compliance Checklist. The variables analyzed for association with cooperation were age, sex, ASA class, class of surgery, preferred language, and race. Interventions examined for association with induction cooperation included premedication with midazolam, exposure to distraction technology, parental presence, and the presence of a Child Life Specialist. Multivariate mixed‐effects logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between patient characteristics and cooperation. A separate multivariate mixed‐effects logistic regression was used to examine the association between preoperative interventions and cooperation.Results9692 patients underwent 23 474 procedures during the study period. 3372 patients undergoing 5980 procedures met inclusion criteria. The only patient characteristic associated with increased cooperation was age (OR 1.20, p‐value 0.03). Involvement of Child Life Specialists was associated with increased cooperation (OR 4.44, p‐value = 0.048) while parental/guardian presence was associated with decreased cooperation (OR 0.38, p‐value = 0.002).ConclusionIn this cohort, increasing age was the only patient characteristic found to be associated with increased cooperation with mask induction. Preoperative intervention by a Child Life Specialists was the sole intervention associated with improved cooperation.

SummaryHaplotype‐based breeding, a recent promising breeding approach to develop tailor‐made crop varieties, deals with identification of superior haplotypes and their deployment in breeding programmes. In this context, whole genome re‐sequencing data of 292 genotypes from pigeonpea reference set were mined to identify the superior haplotypes for 10 drought‐responsive candidate genes. A total of 83, 132 and 60 haplotypes were identified in breeding lines, landraces and wild species, respectively. Candidate gene‐based association analysis of these 10 genes on a subset of 137 accessions of the pigeonpea reference set revealed 23 strong marker‐trait associations (MTAs) in five genes influencing seven drought‐responsive component traits. Haplo‐pheno analysis for the strongly associated genes resulted in the identification of most promising haplotypes for three genes regulating five component drought traits. The haplotype C. cajan_23080‐H2 for plant weight (PW), fresh weight (FW) and turgid weight (TW), the haplotype C. cajan_30211‐H6 for PW, FW, TW and dry weight (DW), the haplotype C. cajan_26230‐H11 for FW and DW and the haplotype C. cajan_26230‐H5 for relative water content (RWC) were identified as superior haplotypes under drought stress condition. Furthermore, 17 accessions containing superior haplotypes for three drought‐responsive genes were identified. The identified superior haplotypes and the accessions carrying these superior haplotypes will be very useful for deploying haplotype‐based breeding to develop next‐generation tailor‐made better drought‐responsive pigeonpea cultivars.
Endothelin signaling promotes melanoma tumorigenesis driven by constitutively active GNAQ

Published: May 2020

AbstractThe G‐protein‐coupled receptor, endothelin receptor B (EDNRB), is an important regulator of melanocyte survival and proliferation. It acts by stimulating downstream heterotrimeric G proteins, such as Gαq and Gα1. Constitutively active, oncogenic versions of Gαq and Gα11 drive melanomagenesis, but the role of Ednrb in the context of these mutant G proteins has not been previously examined. In this paper, we used a knock‐in mouse allele at the Rosa26 locus to force oncogenic GNAQQ209L expression in melanocytes in combination with Ednrb gene knockout. The resulting pathological analysis revealed that every aspect of melanomagenesis driven by GNAQQ209L was inhibited. We conclude that even in the presence of oncogenic Gαq, the Ednrb receptor activates normal Gαq and Gα11 proteins. This likely promotes tumorigenesis by activating phospholipase C‐beta, the immediate effector of Gαq/11. These findings suggest that it might be possible to target upstream receptors to offset the effects of hyperactive G proteins, recognized as the cause of a growing number of human disorders.

Published: May 2020

AbstractUromyces viciae‐fabae, rust of faba bean, parasitizes other legume crops such as lentils (Lens culinaris) and field peas (Pisum sativum) in some environments. In this study we examined the host range of two Australian isolates of U. viciae‐fabae collected and purified from a faba bean crop and classified as U. viciae‐fabae ex V. faba. Field pea (P. sativum), chickpea (Cicer arientinum), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (L. culinaris), and mung bean (Vigna radiata) genotypes were tested with these isolates, as well as resistant and susceptible genotypes of the faba bean host. Race specificity for these two pathogen isolates was observed on Vicia faba, with two faba bean genotypes showing partial resistance. Both U. viciae‐fabae isolates also colonized field pea seedlings and successfully produced uredinia under glasshouse conditions, despite this fungus not being known as a pathogen of Australian field pea crops. No sporulation of either isolate of U. viciae‐fabae ex V. faba was observed on any of the remaining legume species tested. However, obvious differences in fungal growth were observed, ranging from small infection sites with very rare haustorium formation in mung bean to more extensive growth and the development of potential uredinial structures in chickpea. These observations are discussed in relation to the phylogenetic relationship of these host and nonhost species.
Characterization of thallus mechanical and physiological traits of tropical fucoids: A preliminary study

Published: May 2020

SUMMARYThallus mechanical strength, as well as production of secondary metabolites as defensive compounds, of tropical macroalgae is often essential for protection from herbivory. In tropical macroalgae, thallus mechanical strength is negatively correlated with productivity — a trade‐off between productivity and thallus toughness. The tropical fucoids, Turbinaria ornata which has defensive morphological traits against herbivory and Sargassum ilicifolium which is expanding its distribution in Japanese waters, were examined to determine thallus traits related to mechanical strength and productivity and their pair‐wise relationships were also examined. These traits that are directly or indirectly related to the trade‐off between productivity and thallus toughness were compared to data for various other temperate macroalgae by regression analyses. We found two strong positive correlations between thallus mechanical strength and thallus mass or thallus thickness, confirming that higher levels of mechanical strength for tropical fucoids is associated with higher biomass or thallus thickness. Also, negative correlations between thallus toughness and productivity were found indicating structural and physiological trade‐offs. However, the tropical fucoids exhibited relatively high productivity regardless of their higher level of thallus toughness. These traits of the tropical fucoids slightly deviate from the typical conservative strategy with higher thallus toughness and lower productivity as a trade‐off between productivity and thallus toughness.
