Locked Wrist: A Case Report and Literature Review on Pisotriquetral Loose Bodies
Authors: Thompson R. Gil , Poulis George C. , Lourie Gary M. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Background Pisotriquetral (PT) loose bodies have been described in the literature only a few times as case reports. While PT pathology remains the differential for ulnar-sided wrist pain, it can often be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can be variable and radiographic imaging may be negative for any findings.
Case Description A 24-year-old major league baseball player presented with pain and locking of his wrist during follow through of his bat swing. Plain radiographic imaging, as well as computed tomography (CT) imaging, was negative for any pathology. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a loose body which entered the PT joint when the wrist was moved into a flexed position. This caused entrapment of the loose body and locking of the wrist.
Literature Review A total of 17 reported patients in the literature have been diagnosed with a PT loose body. The clinical examination findings, radiographic findings, and surgical findings are reviewed.
Case Relevance PT loose bodies can present a challenging clinical picture to diagnose. The purpose of this case report is to review the appropriate clinical workup, including common examination findings and advanced imaging techniques, to help the clinician with the diagnosis.
Jérôme Lalande, Giuseppe Toaldo and the translation of astronomical works
for a wider public in the 1700s
Authors: Dagenais Simon 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This chapter analyses the French and
Italian translations of books written by the astronomers Jérôme Lalande and Giuseppe
Toaldo. Both authors aimed to reach wide readerships, the former through his
Abrégé d’astronomie (1774),
and the latter with
Della vera
influenza degli astri, delle stagioni, e mutazioni di tempo
(1770) and
Essai de
météorologie appliquée à l’agriculture (1775), which were driven
by the Enlightenment ideal of disseminating knowledge. Toaldo in particular targeted
peasants in his works with his astro-meteorology and its application to agriculture.
This chapter analyses Toaldo’s translation of Lalande’s Traité, and
the physician Joseph Daquin’s translation of Toaldo’s 1770 treatise.
Travelling knowledge in nineteenth-century science
Authors: Meneghello Laura 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
Focusing on the work of the materialist
Jacob Moleschott (’s-Hertogenbosch 1822-Rome 1893), this chapter argues for the
fundamental role played by translation in the development and dissemination of
scientific knowledge and scientific epistemology in nineteenth-century Europe, with
Moleschott’s transnational biography illustrating practices of translation as well
as the dynamics of negotiation and circulation of knowledge. Three aspects that
exemplify processes of translation will be considered: first, Moleschott’s work as a
translator (e.g. of Gerrit Jan Mulder) and the translation of his work by Cesare
Lombroso; second, his role as a disseminator, involving the transfer of concepts
between science and politics; and third, his engagement in practices of cultural
translation between disciplines and nation-states.
Paratexts in sixteenth-century editions and translations of Maciej z Miechowa’s
Tractatus de duabus Sarmatiis
Authors: Metan Saskia 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In 1517 the Cracovian scholar Maciej z
Miechowa published Tractatus de duabus Sarmatiis, the first work in
Renaissance geography which offered detailed information about
Sarmatia, the region between the Vistula and the Caspian Sea.
Published in several Latin editions, the treatise initiated the humanists’
scientific exchange of geographical knowledge about Eastern Europe. Moreover,
translations in German, Polish, Dutch and Italian appeared, also addressing a
non-scholarly readership. Although the literature on Maciej z Miechowa notes that the
Tractatus has been broadly disseminated, its translations
have been understudied. This is the purpose of the present chapter, which also
highlights how the various translations of the Tractatus have led
to significant modifications regarding the source text and its paratexts.
Stress assignment and foot construction in a Southwestern Saudi Arabic
dialect
Authors: Alahmari Musa 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
This paper presents and analyzes some aspects of the stress
system of a Southwestern Saudi Arabic dialect (SSA). In an Optimality-Theoretic
framework, the analysis focuses on issues related to how feet are constructed in
this dialect as well as how stress is assigned in the language under the effect of
geminates and long vowels. In the presented analysis, I argue that the stress
pattern of SSA is a moraic trochee binary stress system in which ternary effects
arise as a result of Weak Local Parsing that is responsible for the
pre-antepenultimate stress in the language (Hayes, 1995). I also argue that the analysis of stress assignment under
the effect of geminates and long vowels is prominence-based in such a way that
stress is assigned to the heaviest syllable in the word in a scalar
quantity-sensitivity stress system that gives priority to syllables that are
inherently bimoraic. The analysis seeks a unified account that interacts with other
aspects of the phonology in the investigated dialect such as high vowel deletion and
the quality of word-final vowels.
The Purpose of Senatorial Grandstanding during Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings
Authors: Schoenherr Jessica A. , Lane Elizabeth A. , Armaly Miles T. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractUS Supreme Court confirmation hearings provide senators with an opportunity to engage a potential justice on a nationwide stage. Senators probe for information about future behavior on the bench. Nominees work through the questions, oscillating between forthcoming and vague responses. Such behavior encourages popular narratives that characterize this intricate dance as a “vapid and hollow charade.” We challenge this wisdom and argue that senators use these hearings to provide meaningful representation to their constituents while simultaneously supporting copartisan efforts regarding the nominee. We examine the exchanges in 185 senator-nominee pairings that span nearly 30 years of confirmation hearings. Our results show that senators from both parties increase their question-asking activity during divided government, when confirmation success is more dubious. Senators from the president’s party ask fewer questions when their constituents support the nominee, however, suggesting that popular support can attenuate this general effect for senators expecting a successful confirmation.
Law and Politics in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Authors: Stiansen Øyvind , Naurin Daniel , Bøyum Live Standal 
Published: May 2020

AbstractInternational courts are increasingly affecting domestic and international politics and are receiving increased attention in political science research. In addition to their political importance, international courts provide new opportunities for testing theories of judicial politics, yet further progress requires access to data, particularly on the courts that have so far received less scrutiny. This article introduces a new database on Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) judgments. The database contains information on case proceedings, judicial behavior, judgment content, the actors involved, and compliance with remedial orders. The current version of the database contains data on 201 IACtHR cases. We illustrate how the database can be used to address important questions in judicial politics by analyzing whether the propensity of the IACtHR to rule against a responding state correlates with the positions taken by the same state early in the proceedings before the court. We find evidence of such a relationship.
Mass Digitization of Chinese Court Decisions
Authors: Liebman Benjamin L. , Roberts Margaret E. , Stern Rachel E. , Wang Alice Z. 
Published: May 2020

AbstractSince 2014, Chinese courts have placed tens of millions of court judgments online. We analyze the promise and pitfalls of using this new data source, highlighting takeaways for readers facing similar issues using other collections of legal texts. Drawing on 1,058,986 documents from Henan Province, we identify problems with missing data and call on scholars to treat variation in court disclosure rates as an urgent research question. We also outline strategies for learning from a corpus that is vast and incomplete. Using a topic model of administrative litigation in Henan, we complicate conventional wisdom that administrative lawsuits are an extension of contentious politics that give Chinese citizens an opportunity to challenge the state. Instead, we find a high prevalence of administrative cases that reflect an underlying dispute between two private parties, suggesting that administrative lawsuits are often an attempt to enlist help from the state in resolving an underlying civil dispute.

Published: May 2020

AbstractIn order to study the differences in cadmium (Cd) accumulation and biomass of different colour cherry tomato seedlings under Cd (10 mg/kg) stress, five different colour cherry tomatoes were used as experimental objects in pot experiments. Studies have shown that the biomass of stems, leaves and above-ground parts of yellow and pink cherry tomatoes (yellow and pink) was higher, and the Cd content in the three parts was lower. The biomass of roots, stems, leaves and above-ground parts of purple and green cherry tomatoes (purple and green) was lower, and their Cd content was higher in stems, leaves and above-ground parts. Red cherry tomato (red) had higher biomass of roots, leaves and shoot, and its Cd content in leaves and shoot was also the highest.

Abstract
The pot experiment was carried out to study the effects of intercropping with post-grafting generation of Cosmos sulphureus on the cadmium accumulation of grape seedlings under cadmium stress.C. sulphureus which non-grafted (the offspring is named C. sulphureus S), self-rooted grafting by the same plant seedlings(the offspring is named C. sulphureus D), self-rooted grafting by two uniform plant seedlings (the offspring is named C. sulphureus T), and self-rooted graftingby two different development stages of plant seedlings (the offspring is named C. sulphureus Y). The results showed that intercropping significantly reduced the soil pH and increased the available cadmium content of the soil. Compared with grape monoculture, intercropping significantly reduced the cadmium content of grape seedlings roots. Among all treatments, grapeintercropping C. sulphureus Y maximized the biomass of grape seedlings and the cadmium accumulation of the post-grafting generation of C. sulphureus, and the cadmium content of the grape seedlings shoots was significantly lower than other treatments.
Reserach on environmental Impact assessment system of China
Authors: Chen Mingtsung , Qian Wei 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In order to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection, the environmental impact assessment system used by western countries has been gradually introduced into China. It is a scientific and professional assessment system, which is regarded as the best tool to solve the conflict between economic growth and environmental protection. The implementation of the environmental impact assessment system can undoubtedly prevent some construction projects from having serious adverse impact on the environment. Through the comparison and selection of the feasibility schemes, the environmental impact of some construction projects can be minimized. Therefore, the environmental impact assessment system is regarded as an important pillar and effective legal system for the implementation of predictive environmental policy, which has attracted more and more attention in the world.
Estimating the Effective Soil Temperature at L-Band Using Multi-Temporal temperature Data
Authors: Ma Hong-Zhang , Liu Su-Mei 
Published: May 2020

AbstractThe effective soil temperature is an essential parameter in the process of the soil moisture retrieval by using the passive microwave remote sensing data. The modeled soil temperature profile data was widely adopted to calculate the soil effective temperature at L-band. Considering that the procedure of using land models to obtain soil temperature profile is cumbersome, this study mainly investigates the effectiveness of using thermal infrared soil surface temperature and air temperature as the input parameters to calculate the soil effective temperature at L-band. The results of this study show that the average value of multi-temporal thermal infrared surface temperature and the monthly mean of air temperature can accurately calculate the soil effective temperature with RMSE=0.57K based on the simulated data of 4 years.
A Numerical Simulation of Mass Transport in Deep Convection over the Tibet Plateau
Authors: Guo Yanan , Cao Xiaoqun , Peng Kecheng , Liu Bainian 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
By using the WRF-Chem model to simulate a deep convection process that occurred in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau, the vertical transport process and main mechanisms of water and ozone in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere were studied. The air in the lower layer of the troposphere, which is rich in water vapor and low ozone concentration, is transported near the top of the troposphere. The enhancement of convective motion causes the height of the troposphere to rise and the temperature to decrease. Therefore, water vapor is prone to condensation and dehydration, and ice crystals are formed near the top of the troposphere, resulting in a low value zone of water vapor at 100 hPa. By analyzing the distribution of ozone, it is found that there is a high concentration of ozone transported on both sides of the deep convection area. The stronger the convection, the stronger the downward transport. It further explains that this deep convection process not only causes the upward transport of tropospheric air in the deep convection area, but also causes the transport of stratospheric air to the troposphere on both sides of the deep convection area.
Mechanisms of oxide copper nanoparticles toxicity to microorganisms and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and recommendations for future study
Authors: Ouyang Fan , Peng Dan , Liu Dantong 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In recent years, the biological toxicity of oxide copper nanoparticles (CuO NPs) to microorganisms has received some attentions. The toxicity mechanism of CuO NPs can be concluded as follows: (1) CuO NPs facilitate more rapid dissolution of ions than equivalent bulk material, which potentially leading to increased toxicity of CuO NPs; (2) CuO NPs can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and potentially disturb the functioning of protein, enzymes and DNA; (3) CuO NPs have high capacity to adsorb biomolecules and interact with biological receptors, they can reach sub-cellular locations leading to potentially higher localized concentrations of ions once those particles start to dissolve or degrade in situ. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are the main functional bacteria for biological nitrogen removal in the environment. It has been reported that CuO NPs can change the community structures of AOB, however, the toxicity mechanism of CuO NPs to AOB in cytological level is rarely reported. This review aims to evaluate the current understanding of CuO NPs toxicity to microorganisms, as well as to provide a set of pointers and guidelines for future studies to access the toxicity mechanism of CuO NPs to AOB.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
Environmental protection is an inevitable choice for the sustainable development of human society. According to EPA data, 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the industrial areas. The mining is one of the main source of greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve sustainable economic development and ecological environmental protection, the miningindustry must be green. The developed countries have taken policies related to green mining since the 1970s and have already achieved great results. At present, the developing countries such as China have also adopted a series of various legal and institutional measures related to the mining, but it is still not perfect compared with the developed countries, and there are still serious environmental pollution problems.Therefore, this paper will discuss the causes of the environmental problems in mining and the green mining policies of some developed countries, and analyze the current situation of China’s mining industry. Finally, this paper proposed a green mining policy model for in developing countries such as China for environmental protection and sustainable development.
Influence of the south-north bias of the South Asia High on the water vapor distribution in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere of the Asian monsoon region
Authors: Tu Houwang , Wang Yongxian , Dong Xiongxin 
Published: May 2020

AbstractBased on the ERA-40 reanalysis data provided by the European Interim Numerical Forecast Centre from 1958 to 2002, the influence of the north-south bias of the South Asia High(SAH) on the water vapor distribution in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere of the Asian monsoon region is analysed. It is shown that: (1) The north-south bias of SAH has little influence on the position of the 200 hPa water vapor high value centre, which mainly affects its intensity; and it has a great influence on the position and intensity of the 100 hPa water vapor high value centre; It has little effect on the water vapor distribution at 70 hPa. (2) In the south years of SAH, the anti-cyclone is abnormally weak, the vertical ascending motion is relatively insubstantial, and the water vapor transported to the upper troposphere is less than the north years. Therefore, the water vapor high value in the south years is smaller than that in the north years. (3) Abnormal temperature distribution of 200 hPa in anticyclone is consistent with the abnormal distribution of water vapor, and the warm centre is conducive to the formation of high water vapor. It is shown that the distribution of water vapor in the anticyclone range is caused by the interaction of temperature field and circulation field. This study has a certain reference meaning for understanding the stratospheric-tropospheric exchange of the Asian monsoon region.

Changes in pectin components of different blueberry varieties during fruit development
Authors: Li Henggang , Huang Jinqiu , Bie Yuhui , Huang Yingying , Wang Xun 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
In order to reveal the mechanism of texture change during the fruit mature period of the main blueberry cultivars in Sichuan Province, this paper studied the content of different pectins in the cell wall of ‘Brigitta’, ‘O’Neal’, and ‘Britewell’ cultivars during the period of the 25th to 70th days after flowering period. It was found that the water-soluble pectin content (WSP) in ‘O’Neal’ and ‘Britewell’ increased continuously as the fruits matured. In contrast, the content of alkali-soluble pectin (SSP) continued to decrease. These may be related to changes in PG enzyme activity. In the pink fruit period (the 49th day after flowering), the chelant soluble pectin (CSP) content of the three varieties all reached the highest value, which may be due to the higher PME enzyme activity. In general, the pectin of the fruits of all three varieties gradually degrades as their maturation.
