Published: November 2019

ResumenEl Síndrome de Menisco Hipermóvil, caracterizado por bloqueos mecánicos dolorosos de la rodilla, tiene un sustento anatómico basado en los fascículos poplíteo meniscales anteroinferior y posterosuperior, responsables de la estabilidad primaria de la esquina posterolateral meniscal. Con un cuadro clínico característico, usualmente con Resonancia Magnética sin hallazgos sugerentes de patología, la artroscopía juega un rol esencial en casos de alta sospecha, comprobando el diagnóstico al presentar hipermobilidad del cuerno posterior del menisco lateral. Método: Se presentan 9 casos resueltos, con hiperlaxitud posterolateral meniscal, y presentación clínica caracterizada por bloqueo articular de rodilla sin causa aparente. En todos los casos se realizó reparación de los fascículos poplíteo meniscales con suturas meniscales, con resolución completa de la sintomatología y sin complicaciones post quirúrgicas.
Conclusión El manejo del cuadro de menisco hipermóvil está basado por la sospecha clínica y el descarte de otras patologías como causa subyacente de la sintomatología. El manejo quirúrgico con suturas meniscales ha demostrado restaurar la biomecánica normal del compartimento posterolateral de la rodilla, logrando la resolución completa de los síntomas.

Authors: Perrotta Andrew S. , Koehle Michael S. , White Matthew D. , Taunton Jack E. , Warburton Darren E.R. 
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACTPurpose: To examine the association between day‐to‐day resting cardiac parasympathetic variability over consecutive non‐training days (i.e. weekend) and accumulated exercise stress when quantified using indices of cardiovascular strain. Methods: Twelve international calibre female field hockey players training as part of a national team were participants over a four‐week mesocycle prior to a 2016 Olympic qualifying tournament. On‐field exercise stress was examined using heart rate (HR) dynamics and quantified as; (1) training load and (2) time (min) spent above anaerobic threshold. The square root of the mean squared differences of successive cardiac cycles (R–R intervals) recorded on Saturday and Sunday were individually calculated and log‐transformed prior to being averaged (Ln rMSSDweekend). Day‐to‐day variation in Ln rMSSD over the weekend was expressed using the coefficient of variation (Ln rMSSDCV). Non‐linear regression analysis examined the association between accumulated exercise stress and Ln rMSSDCV. Results: A quadratic association between each index of exercise stress and Ln rMSSDCV was identified. After converting the coefficient of determination into a correlation coefficient (90% CL), the respective association between Ln rMSSDCV and training load (AU); r = 0.40 (0.16:0.59) and time above threshold; r = 0.35 (0.06:0.59) were observed. Conclusion: Ln rMSSDCV derived over consecutive non‐training days displayed a moderate, yet significant association between accumulated exercise stress when expressed as global or high‐intensity indices of cardiovascular strain. Weekend assessments may offer a practical and appropriate juncture between microcycles to assess the magnitude of perturbation in cardiac autonomic homeostasis prior to entering subsequent training periods.
Assessment of the external effects of car use in urban and rural areas of modern Russia

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess and differentiate between the externalities imposed on people living in rural and urban areas of Russia. The hypothesis of the study is that people living in areas with different levels of urbanization have different views on the pros and cons of mass car ownership. As a result of this study, various types of the positive and negative external effects of mass car ownership were identified. A survey was conducted on people living in Sverdlovsk Region to assess the externalities. The survey was conducted in October 2018. For the purposes of analysis, the filled questionnaires were divided on the basis of car ownership. Of the 390 respondents aged 18 and above, 62% had a car and 38% did not. The main differentiation factor in the perception of the effects is the respondents’ place of residence. A relationship was proven between the size of the place of residence and the score that the respondents gave to the positive and negative effects of mass car ownership: the smaller the area, the higher they appreciate the positive effects and the lower score they give to the negative effects of mass car ownership. Consequently, the bigger the settlement where the respondents live, the smaller score they give to the positive effects and the bigger emphasis they place on the negative effects of mass car ownership. The assessment of externalities can be used to justify the amount of transport payments in urban and rural areas.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The relationship between power generation in a Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell (PMFC) and phytoremediation were observed in this paper. It is hypothesized that both power generation and metal uptake capacity will be enhanced synergistically upon the combination of the two processes. To test the hypothesis, the experiment was composed of three set-ups: (A) PMFC only, (B) phytoremediation only, and (C) PMFC combined with phytoremediation. A maximum power density for set-up A of 3.43 μW/m2 and 247.11 μW/m2 for Azolla pinnata and Lemna minor, respectively, while a maximum power density for set-up C of 17.82 μW/m2 and 1076.16 μW/m2 for the two plants were observed. The values showed a significant increase in power density for set-ups where copper ions are present (set-up C). The internal resistance of the PMFCs were also investigated. It was observed that internal resistance continuously decreased through time and the presence of copper ions in set-up C of both plants resulted to a lower internal resistance, equating to higher power densities. In terms of phytoremediation potential, the results showed that the presence of electrodes in the hybrid set-up induced the plants to absorb more copper ions than the control. The copper ion uptake increased by about 18% for A. pinnata and 38% for L. minor in phytoremediation tests in PMFCs. Overall, the combination of PMFC technology and the concept of phytoremediation has been shown to benefit both power generation and metal uptake capacity. The results of this study can be used to enhance the clean-up of metal contaminants while simultaneously providing power in-situ.

Authors: Santosh D T , Tiwari K N 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Field experiments were conducted on the lateritic sandy loam soil and sub-humid climate of Kharagpur, West Bengal, India during 2014-2018 for two consecutive crop seasons to determine the optimum water requirement of the Banana crop under drip irrigation with and without plastic mulch. Reference evapotranspiration for the Banana crop was estimated using FAO-56 Penman-Monteith approach. The dual crop coefficient approach was used to improve the estimates of the crop coefficient (Kc) values for the irrigation treatments with black plastic mulch and without mulch. Plants treated with black plastic mulch consume about 12% less water for the main crop and about 22% less water for ratoon crop compared to non-mulch plants. The effect of black plastic mulch was studied to determine the soil moisture distribution in different soil depths (0-20, 20-40, 40-60, and 60-90 cm), and also loss of water through deep drainage. Net irrigation requirement under black plastic mulch was found to be lesser than without mulch. The deep percolation was found 50.4 % more under black plastic mulch in comparison to non-mulch treatment.
Elevated sodium concentrations in Australian drinking water supplies

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Salt in the drinking water of many Australian water supplies could be adversely contributing to the ill-health of many people. Health care professionals often recommend low-sodium diets for patients with kidney disease, heart disease and cardiovascular disease. It is recommended that people on a low-sodium diet drink water with less than 20 mg/L of sodium. The sodium concentration of water supplies in many regional and remote regions of Australia often had water with elevated sodium (more than 20 mg/L) in their water supplies. In NSW 17 of the 21 regional water supplies tested had higher than 20 mg/L sodium. The issue of elevated sodium in many Australian drinking water supplies needs to be recognised more prominently. Sodium needs to be sampled more frequently and the results shared openly with consumers and health professionals. All water authorities that provide drinking water with sodium concentrations higher than 20 mg/L should be advising their customers of this fact as a high priority. People on low-sodium diets that have >20 mg/L sodium in their water supply should consider options to obtain low-sodium water.

Abstract
Unsegregated heterogeneous mass of solid waste is a potential threat towards the safe processing and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW), which is cumbersome and ancillary, elevates the expenditure. The absence of any pertinent technique, to handle these bulky mass in an eco-friendly way, makes it even more hectic for the MSW processing plants. But, this substantial mass constitutes a huge potential, which can be valorized through the larval digestion of a symbiotic macro culture, to create new economic niches for small-scale entrepreneurship in developing and under-developed nations. The present study incorporates a symbiotic waste reduction system with the efficient functionalism of micro and macro conversion agents which is attributed to the synthesis of waste derived co-products from the same platform. This study is solely a novel approach, which is capable of addressing a wide fraction of solid waste, domestic sewage, and bio-leachate and converts them into value-added co-products within the magnificent period of time. Multiple experiments have been conducted under the controlled feeding environment with an established symbiosis between the BSF larvae, Wax Moth larvae (Galleria melonella), and effective microorganism culture. An initiation period of 5 days was allocated for the macro conversion agents and during the tenure, the larvae were supplied with synthetic diet to accelerate the body growth index. The entire experiments have been conducted in a newly formulated novel bioreactor namely, Integral Larval Grub Composting Reactor which is capable of performing automated pupal segregation and address solid and liquid waste under a single platform. The system enforces the zero liquid discharge concepts and also helps in an indirect suppression of house fly growth. The novel approach only required 14-16 days in order to convert the solid waste into nutrient-rich manure, having significantly high-quality component. The operation has been executed in a number of batch processes and each process valorized a quantity of approx 30 kg. The targeted larval period has been prolonged by means of maintaining higher moisture content with the help of sewage supply and once the maturation period arrives the further addition of moisture has been restricted for 3 days. Overall it’s an ultimate and wholesome biological waste management technique, which is capable of standing solely to strengthen the sustainable waste management strategy.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Open dumpsites such as Payatas dumpsite situated in Quezon City, Philippines could pose environmental and health risk. This is in addition to the fact that Payatas dumpsite is located at the edge of the hydrologic divide between the Novaliches Reservoir and Marikina River System. A series of groundwater samplings were conducted in eighteen water well sites peripheral to both the old and new dumpsites of Payatas. Physico-chemical analyses were performed and results were compared to Philippines’ National Standards for Drinking Water and to Environmental Water Quality Guidelines. The levels of heavy metals with the exception of lead (Pb) from residential wells were found to be generally below the Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 2016-08 threshold guideline levels and below tolerable values for drinking water standard set by the Philippines’ Department of Health (DOH). The low heavy metal contents on adjacent residential wells maybe attributed to probable nondispersionl in a halo-like pattern of the leachate from its source. Characterization of leachate samples indicated unusually high metals content and transport of the leachate through groundwater flow have been detected on nearby springs and well. Further, an unusually high Pb background (> 0.01 mg/L) relative to groundwater quality standard was inferred from the series of samples collected from residential wells around Payatas dumpsite. The very linear correlation between Zn and Pb contents in these water samples imply its inherent presence in groundwater. Experimentally calculated groundwater quality indices showed the groundwater samples collected from residential wells around Payatas dumpsite were unsuitable for human consumption. Based on the assessment findings, implications for policy and decision-making suggestions for sustainable management of Philippines’ groundwater resources are put forward.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Ports play an increasingly important role in economic development and are the core strategic advantages that drive regional economic development. As hydraulic structure, the working environment of the wharf is relatively complicated. There are many factors affecting its normal use. Visible or invisible cracks are common in wharf components. Temperature stress change is the main factor for the formation of cracks on the surface of concrete beams. When affected by temperature changes, existing fine cracks will connect, expand, and even penetrate the entire component. It will not only affect the aesthetics of the wharf, but also affect its service life, and bring considerable economic losses to later maintenance. Therefore, it has certain reference value and significance to study on crack propagation for assessment of safety, reliability and durability of engineering structures. In view of this, this paper carries out numerical analysis on crack propagation of reinforced concrete longitudinal beams of a high-piled wharf in China with ABAQUS software and extended finite element method (XFEM). In the simulation process, only temperature drop factor is considered. At the same time, this paper introduces the research progress and some basic theories of XFEM at home and abroad. The results show that the numerical simulation results are similar to the crack opening degree measured by the seam gauge. XFEM can effectively describe the crack propagation in concrete, which is more accurate and feasible than the conventional finite element method (CFEM).

Published: November 2019

Abstract
With the rapid development of society and economy in Danfeng county, the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources has become increasingly prominent. In order to meet its growing water demand, it is proposed to build the Qingfeng Reservoir and realize joint water supply with the original Longtan Reservoir. Establishing a combined model of wavelet artificial neural network to predict runoff can increase the sequence length, which aims to construct a longer inflow sequence. Draw up different scales of utilizable capacity to carry out the joint water supply adjustment calculation of the two reservoirs. It is finally determined that the optimal utilizable capacity of Qingfeng Reservoir is 2 million m3, which meets the design assurance rate requirements of urban life and industry production. This method improves the reliability and rationality of the calculation result, and can provide some reference for the determination of the utilizable capacity of other water conservancy projects.

Authors: Guan J F , Wang J H 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
As a kind of persistent organic matter, it is important to study the effects of 2,2’,4,4’-tetrabromobiphenyl ether (BDE-47) on microbial ecology in soil. The Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing technique was used to study the effects of pollutants and degrading bacteria on the microbial community structures in indoor simulated remediation of BDE-47-contaminated soil. The correlation between the microbial community structures and physiochemical properties of the soil was analyzed. The results showed that the addition of pollutant BDE-47 no significant effect on the number of microbial species, and the diversity of species reduced slightly. In contrast, the addition of degrading bacteria led to a dramatic decrease of both the species number and diversity. After the simulation, the degree of variation in microbial community structural composition was ranked as: simulation system E > C > A. The simulated systems included 27 microbial phyla, among which Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria were the most dominant with a relative abundance of greater than 10%. Firmicutes was the common phylum in simulated systems A and C and was dominant in the system E. The distributions of Nitrospirae, Bacteroidetes, Saccharibacteria, Proteobacteria, and Gemmatimonadetes were similar. The distribution of Firmicutes was irrelevant to the physicochemical properties of soil.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this study, an interval optimization programming based on water footprint (IOMWF) method was developed for supporting the optimal use of land and water resources in agricultural. The developed IOMWF model not only provided optimal planting scheme considering the whole process of agriculture water consumption to save water, increase benefits and control pollution, but also effectively dealt with the uncertainties in the process of allocation. This method was applied to address a case in Hetao Irrigation Districts. The obtained solution demonstrated that corn would be the best crop with lower water consumption and nitrogen pollution, being followed by sunflowers and wheat. In addition, the utilization rate of green water would be lower than 0.5 and have a larger potential room to improve.

Abstract
Urban flood becomes a more and more serious problem in China now resulting from the urbanization. Compared with traditional methods, numerical model simulation is a better approach to analyse and evaluate the urban flood risk, waterlogging area and flooding depth. Taking a historical flooding area in Zhenjiang as an example, this paper analysed the operational causes of the waterlogging in an observed 4-day precipitation event by PCSWMM. The results showed that the waterlogging area was reduced up to 77% when the drainage pump was operated appropriately. With the pump turned on, the discharge rate increased from 0.2 to 2.04 m3/s and maximum water depth in flood area dropped from 0.9 m to 0.66 m. It indicated that the severe waterlogging in the study area was primarily resulted from the improper pump operation in the 4-day event. However, simulation resulted that even with appropriate pump operation; there was still 0.5 hectares of waterlogging area. In addition, the effectiveness of the drainage pipe system on the waterlogging reduction was evaluated with existing and planned conditions. The results showed that updated pipe system with a diameter of 1000-2800 mm could hold a discharge flow rate up to 3.5 m3/s. The study imply that combined of appropriate pump operation and pipe system updating may effectively improve the drainage capacity of the whole pipe system and reduce the waterlogging risk around crossroads.
