Pregnancy in a woman with sacral agenesis from prenatal counseling to delivery: A case report
Authors: Salsi Ginevra , Bellussi Federica , Pilu Gianluigi , Della Gatta Anna Nunzia , Youssef Aly 
Published: March 2020

AbstractSacral agenesis or CRS (caudal regression syndrome) is a rare congenital condition involving approximately 1 in 25 000 live births (Sharma et al., 2015) and leading to the absence of lower sacral vertebral bodies and severe malformations of the pelvis. This condition is associated with an extreme reduction of the xipho‐pubic distance and of the pelvic dimensions. It is reasonable to think that this might lead to an increased difficulty in obtaining a spontaneous pregnancy and to a consistently increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications. In literature, very little is known about pregnancy in patients with sacral agenesis and therefore on the appropriate way to counsel a patient with this condition who is trying to get pregnant (Greenwell et al., 2013). Although a case of pregnancy in a woman with sacral agenesis is mentioned in a book (J. Rogers, 2006) no cases of women with CRS carrying a pregnancy until a viable age for the fetus are reported in medical literature: as far as we know this is the first case reported in literature of a woman with this condition followed before and throughout the pregnancy with reported pre‐ and perinatal management, leading to a near‐term pregnancy. This case could be useful for clinicians who are requested to counsel female patients with the same condition on the possibility of a pregnancy and possible outcomes.

Abstract

Objectives
Screen and identify the anti-pseudo-allergic activity components of Perilla frutescens leaves that interacted with MRGPRX2 (a new reported pseudo-allergic reaction-related receptor).

Methods
An overexpressed MRGPRX2 cell membrane chromatography (CMC) coupled with HPLC-ESI-IT-TOF system has been established to screen and identify the effective components from P. frutescens leaves. A frontal analysis method was performed to investigate the binding affinity between ligands and MRGPRX2. Their activity of relieving pseudo-allergic reaction was evaluated in vitro by histamine release assay, β-hexosaminidase release assay and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization assay.

Key findings
Extract of P. frutescens leaves was proved to be effective in anti-pseudo-allergic reaction by inhibiting MRGPRX2. Apigenin (API) and rosmarinic acid (ROS) were confirmed to be the potential anti-allergy compounds that could bind with MRGPRX2. The binding affinity (KD) of ROS and API with MRGPRX2 was (8.79 ± 0.13) × 10−8 m and (6.54 ± 1.69) × 10−8 m, respectively. The IC50 of API inhibiting laboratory of allergic disease 2 cells degranulation was also determined to be (51.96 ± 0.18) μm.

Conclusions
A MRGPRX2/CMC coupled with HPLC-ESI-IT-TOF system was successfully established and applied to discover the effective components from P. frutescens leaves.

AbstractThis study examined the effects of a group cognitive behavioral intervention on senior school students affected by the Hiroshima heavy rain disaster and investigated the effects of reducing depression by enhancing resilience. A total of 229 second‐grade senior school students affected by the Hiroshima heavy rain disaster participated in the study. The intervention was performed in the following order: psychological education on daily stress, problem‐solving training for daily stress, psychological education on traumatic reactions derived from traumatic experiences, and instruction on the merits of utilizing information acquired from the intervention in daily life. The results showed that the high‐depression group's depression score was reduced by the intervention. Resilience score was increased both in the high‐ and low‐depression groups as a result of the intervention. Therefore, the intervention program used in this study was proven effective in reducing depression and improving resilience. Prospectively, strategies for psychological support during and after large‐scale disasters should be established by applying the findings obtained in this research.

Marine benthic dinoflagellates are interesting not only because some epiphytic genera can cause harmful algal blooms but also for understanding dinoflagellate evolution and diversification. Our understanding of their biodiversity is far from complete, and many thecate genera have unusual tabulation patterns that are difficult to relate to the diverse known phytoplankton taxa. A new sand‐dwelling genus,Pachenagen. nov., is described based on morphological andDNAsequence data. Three species were discovered in distant locations and are circumscribed, namely,P. leibniziisp. nov. from Canada,P. abriliaesp. nov. from Spain, andP. meriddaesp. nov. from Italy. All species are tiny (about 9–23 μm long) and heterotrophic. Species are characterized by their tabulation (APC4′ 3a 6′′ 5c 5s 5′′′ 2′′′′), an apical hook covering the apical pore, an ascending cingulum, and a sulcus with central list. The first anterior intercalary plate is uniquely “sandwiched” between two plates. The species share these features and differ in the relative sizes and arrangements of their plates, especially on the epitheca. The ornamentation of thecal plates is species‐specific. The new molecular phylogenies based onSSUandLSU rDNAsequences contribute to understanding the evolution of the planktonic relatives ofPachena, the Thoracosphaeraceae.

AbstractA quarter of 400 million urban Indian residents are poor. Urban poor women are as undernourished as or worse than rural women but urban averages mask this disparity. We present the spectrum of malnutrition and their determinants for more than 26,000 urban women who gave birth within 5 years from the last two rounds of Demographic Health Survey 2006 and 2016. Among urban mothers in the lowest quartile by wealth index (urban poor), 12.8% (95% CI [11.3%, 14.5%]) were short or with height < 145 cm; 20.6% (95% CI [19%, 22.3%]) were thin or with body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2; 57.4% (95% CI [55.5%, 59.3%]) had any anaemia (haemoglobin < 12 g/dL), whereas 32.4% (95% CI [30.5%, 34.3%]) had moderate to severe anaemia; and 21.1% (95% CI [19.3%, 23%]) were obese (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2). Decadal gains were significant for thinness reduction (17p.p.) but obesity increased by 12 p.p. Belonging to a tribal household increased odds of thinness by 1.5 (95% CI [1.06, 2.18]) times among urban poor mothers compared with other socially vulnerable groups. Secondary education reduced odds of thinness (0.61; 95% CI [0.48, 0.77]) and higher education of short stature (0.41; 95% CI [0.18, 0.940]). Consuming milk/milk products, pulses/beans/eggs/meats, and dark green leafy vegetables daily reduced the odds of short stature (0.52; 95% CI [0.35, 0.78]) and thinness (0.72; 95% CI [0.54, 0.98]). Urban poor mothers should be screened for nutritional risks due to the high prevalence of all forms of malnutrition and counselled or treated as per risk.

AbstractChildhood linear growth faltering remains a major public health concern in Nepal. Nevertheless, over the past 20 years, Nepal sustained one of the most rapid reductions in the prevalence of stunting worldwide. First, our study analysed the trends in height‐for‐age z‐score (HAZ), stunting prevalence, and available nutrition‐sensitive and nutrition‐specific determinants of linear growth faltering in under‐three children across Nepal's Family Health Survey 1996 and Nepal's Demographic and Health Surveys 2001, 2006, 2011, and 2016. Second, we constructed pooled multivariable linear regression models and decomposed the contributions of our time‐variant determinants on the predicted changes in HAZ and stunting over the past two decades. Our findings indicate substantial improvements in HAZ (38.5%) and reductions in stunting (−42.6%) and severe stunting prevalence (−63.9%) in Nepalese children aged 0–35 months. We also report that the increment in HAZ, across the 1996–2016 period, was significantly associated (confounder‐adjusted p < .05) with household asset index, maternal and paternal years of education, maternal body mass index and height, basic child vaccinations, preceding birth interval, childbirth in a medical facility, and prenatal doctor visits. Furthermore, our quantitative decomposition of HAZ identified advances in utilisation of health care and related services (31.7% of predicted change), household wealth accumulation (25%), parental education (21.7%), and maternal nutrition (8.3%) as key drivers of the long‐term and sustained progress against child linear growth deficits. Our research reiterates the multifactorial nature of chronic child undernutrition and the need for coherent multisectoral nutrition‐sensitive and nutrition‐specific strategies at national scale to further improve linear growth in Nepal.

A green Lewis development model
Authors: de Oliveira Guilherme , Lima Gilberto Tadeu 
Published: March 2020

AbstractThis paper develops an environmental extension of a Lewis dual economy model, in which the interaction between environmental quality and economic growth, in one of its several dimensions, is explicitly modeled to explore long‐run effects of a pollution abatement rule in developing economies. The government requires the modern sector to dedicate a fraction of its output to pollution abatement, with such profitability‐reducing fraction being endogenous to the level of environmental quality. Meanwhile, the level of environmental quality positively affects labor productivity, profits and, therefore, savings, which has a positive impact on capital accumulation. It is shown that this pollution abatement requirement, by affecting profitability in the modern sector both negatively and positively, makes for the emergence of an ecological development trap from which a developing dual economy, if left to the free play of its structural forces, never escapes. Fortunately, however, this economy can be released from such a trap not only through a standard Big Push, in the spirit of Rosenstein‐Rodan, but also by means of what we call an Environmental Big Push.

AbstractFactors affecting independence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living have been established in older adults, but not centenarians. The purpose of this study was to examine the state and factors affecting activities of daily living independence in centenarians who resided in Guangxi Province, China. A cross‐sectional design was used. Activities of daily living, physical activity, mobility, and physical performance were measured by the Population Study of ChINese Elderly study instruments, and demographics and cognition were assessed. Of the 228 participants, 57% were independent in basic activities of daily living and 5.7% in instrumental activities of daily living. Stepwise regression showed physical activity, cognition, calf circumference, and self‐reported health were associated with basic activities of daily living. Physical activity, mobility, cognition, and physical performance were correlated with instrumental activities of daily living. In conclusion, the Chinese centenarians showed impaired instrumental activities of daily living but mostly maintained basic functioning. Physical activity and cognition were associated with activities of daily living independence.
On the ground states of the Ostrovskyi equation and their stability
Authors: Posukhovskyi Iurii , Stefanov Atanas 
Published: March 2020

AbstractThe Ostrovskyi (Ostrovskyi‐Vakhnenko/short pulse) equations are ubiquitous models in mathematical physics. They describe water waves under the action of a Coriolis force as well as the amplitude of a “short” pulse in an optical fiber. In this paper, we rigorously construct ground traveling waves for these models as minimizers of the Hamiltonian functional for any fixed L2 norm. The existence argument proceeds via the method of compensated compactness, but it requires surprisingly detailed Fourier analysis arguments to rule out the nonvanishing of the limits of the minimizing sequences. We show that all of these waves are weakly nondegenerate and spectrally stable.
Understanding the attraction process
Authors: Montoya R. Matthew , Horton Robert S. 
Published: March 2020

AbstractA comprehensive model of interpersonal attraction is presented in which attraction is an emotion expressed to regulate interpersonal relationships. The model proposes that cognitive appraisals, the subjective experience, and the expression of affiliative behavior are fundamental to understanding how attraction operates. Specifically, we discuss how (a) cognitive appraisals (willingness and ability) are fundamental to the subjective experience of attraction, (b) social dilemma considerations affect when and why the subjective experience aligns with the expression of affiliative behavior, (c) the interplay of the components of attraction explain the panoply of extant attraction phenomena, and (d) the attraction process operates in both initial interactions and enduring relationships. We conclude with a discussion of methodological and theoretical directions to fuel future growth.

AbstractElbow incongruity is a form of elbow dysplasia that causes osteoarthritis, pain, and lameness, and it is common in chondrodystrophic dog breeds. The objective of this retrospective secondary analysis study was to evaluate the intra‐ and interobserver repeatability of a novel radiographic incongruity grading system for assessing elbow incongruity in three chondrodystrophic dog breeds—the dachshund, Skye Terrier, and Glen of Imaal Terrier. We conducted an observer agreement study that included 220 mediolateral antebrachial radiographs from 110 dogs with the elbow in 90° flexion. The radiographs were independently assessed by three observers at three time points, using a four‐stepped grading scale. The proportion of agreement and Kappa coefficient were calculated. Both the intra‐ and interobserver proportions of agreement were substantial when three grades were required to be identical (.705‐.777 and .609, respectively), and almost perfect for two identical grades (.991‐1.000 and .991, respectively). Some differences in repeatability between breeds were noted; specifically, the intraobserver repeatability was higher in the dachshund, and the interobserver repeatability was lower in the Glen of Imaal Terrier. Our study showed that the radiographic imaging protocol and incongruity grading system have high repeatability when assessing elbow incongruity in chondrodystrophic dog breeds.
Predictive Model Development and Validation for Raised Floor Plenum Data Center

Published: March 2020

AbstractWith the explosion in digital traffic, the number of data centers as well as demands on each data center, continue to increase. Concomitantly, the cost (and environmental impact) of energy expended in the thermal management of these data centers is of concern to operators in particular, and society in general. In the absence of physics-based control algorithms, computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units are typically operated through conservatively predetermined set points, resulting in suboptimal energy consumption. For a more optimal control algorithm, predictive capabilities are needed. In this paper, we develop a data-informed, experimentally validated and computationally inexpensive system level predictive tool that can forecast data center behavior for a broad range of operating conditions. We have tested this model on experiments as well as on (experimentally) validated transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for two different data center design configurations. The validated model can accurately forecast temperatures and air flows in a data center (including the rack air temperatures) for 10–15 min into the future. Once integrated with control aspects, we expect that this model can form an important building block in a future intelligent, increasingly automated data center environment management systems.

Abstract
Airside economizers lower the operating cost of data centers by reducing or eliminating mechanical cooling. It, however, increases the risk of reliability degradation of information technology (IT) equipment due to contaminants. IT Equipment manufacturers have tested equipment performance and guarantee the reliability of their equipment in environments within ISA 71.04-2013 severity level G1 and the ASHRAE recommended temperature-relative humidity (RH) envelope. IT Equipment manufacturers require data center operators to meet all the specified conditions consistently before fulfilling warranty on equipment failure. To determine the reliability of electronic hardware in higher severity conditions, field data obtained from real data centers are required. In this study, a corrosion classification coupon experiment as per ISA 71.04-2013 was performed to determine the severity level of a research data center (RDC) located in an industrial area of hot and humid Dallas. The temperature-RH excursions were analyzed based on time series and weather data bin analysis using trend data for the duration of operation. After some period, a failure was recorded on two power distribution units (PDUs) located in the hot aisle. The damaged hardware and other hardware were evaluated, and cumulative corrosion damage study was carried out. The hypothetical estimation of the end of life of components is provided to determine free air-cooling hours for the site. There was no failure of even a single server operated with fresh air-cooling shows that using evaporative/free air cooling is not detrimental to IT equipment reliability. This study, however, must be repeated in other geographical locations to determine if the contamination effect is location dependent.

Abstract
With the increase in the new development of paper electronics, there is a great demand for paper-compatible and reliable electrical joining techniques. In this work, we particularly addressed the interconnecting of multilayers of paper-based magneto-electronics. We deployed three room-temperature electrical joining techniques: (i) through-paper via, (ii) mechanical caulking, and (iii) collapsible daisy chain to fabricate an anisotropic magnetoresistive five-layer thin film sensor stack for planar rotary motion sensing. We studied the interplay between the electrical joining technique and the sensor characteristics such as magnetoresistive sensitivity and asymmetries in the sensor signal within the magnetic field strength domain. Despite process complexity and the precision limitations of manual machining and positioning, deployed in this work, the sensor stacks prepared by the through-paper via technique exhibited the closest uniformity in the magnetization planes across the stack, and hence the highest cumulative magnetoresistive sensitivity and lowest unfavorable asymmetries. Last, using peeling tests, we verified the mechanical reliability of the interconnects prepared by the through-paper via and collapsible daisy chain techniques.
A Potential High-Throughput Route to Collagen-Mimicked Carbon Nanotube Fiber via Domino Pushing and Ion Bombardment

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been shown owning extraordinary mechanical properties for decades, but to date, their wide application as load-bearing structural materials has not been realized mainly due to the critical obstacles of weak interface, poor distribution and alignment, and lack of economic technology for mass production and processing. In order to overcome these obstacles, we proposed a potential route from as-grown CNT forest to collagen-mimicked CNT films with covalently crosslinked CNTs arranged in a staggered alignment. To consolidate the foundation of the route, its critical step of ion bombardment to construct the intertube crosslinks in CNT films was simulated using molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that the ion bombardment can efficiently construct the intertube crosslinks and greatly improve the elastic modulus and strength of CNT films by as much as 24% and 660%, respectively, with comparison to the nonbombarded ones. The influences of the number and the kinetic energy of the incident particles were systematically investigated and the corresponding contours were presented, suggesting the optimal energy and number of the incident particles for the elastic modulus and strength of collagen-mimicked CNT films. The work not only provides a novel route to mass fabrication of high-performance CNT fibers but also gives useful guidelines on the optimization of processing design.
