Compression and Shear Strength Characteristics of Unsaturated Intact Loess in True Triaxial Tests
Authors: Fang Jinjin , Feng Yixin , Li Zhen 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Previous studies of shear behavior from suction-controlled direct shear tests or triaxial tests focused mainly on remolded soils. Limited attention has been paid to suction measuring on unsaturated intact soil. In this paper, two series of saturated drained tests and unsaturated constant water content (CW) tests containing isotropic consolidation and shear tests with different intermediate principal stress parameters b were conducted to investigate deformation and shear strength characteristics of intact loess using unsaturated true triaxial apparatus. The initial suction decreases with an increase in initial degree of saturation. The void ratio decreases with an increase in suction and net mean stress. The isotropic compression yield stress increases as initial suction increases. The suction after isotropic consolidation is less than the initial suction. The shear strength increases with an increase in b-value, net confining pressure, and suction. The failure state line on the effective stress p’–q’ plane of Schrefler is approximately a straight line passing the origin at different intermediate principal stresses. The effective stress–strength failure surfaces on the π plane are similar in shape and can be approximated by the spatially mobilized plane (SMP) strength criterion. When the initial suction is constant, the cohesion increases with an increase in b-value and increases linearly with an increase in initial suction at different b-values. The influence of initial suction (i.e., water content) on the internal friction angle is very small, and the internal friction angle decreases linearly with an increase in b-value. There is a nonlinear phenomenon between shear strength and suction. The equation expressions of cohesion, initial suction, and b-value, and internal friction angle and b-value are obtained.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for editing genomes, but design decisions are generally made with respect to a single reference genome. With population genomic data becoming available for an increasing number of model organisms, researchers are interested in manipulating multiple strains and lines. CRISpy-pop is a web application that generates and filters guide RNA sequences for CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing for diverse yeast and bacterial strains. The current implementation designs and predicts the activity of guide RNAs against more than 1000 Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomes, including 167 strains frequently used in bioenergy research. Zymomonas mobilis, an increasingly popular bacterial bioenergy research model, is also supported. CRISpy-pop is available as a web application (https://CRISpy-pop.glbrc.org/) with an intuitive graphical user interface. CRISpy-pop also cross-references the human genome to allow users to avoid the selection of guide RNAs with potential biosafety concerns. Additionally, CRISpy-pop predicts the strain coverage of each guide RNA within the supported strain sets, which aids in functional population genetic studies. Finally, we validate how CRISpy-pop can accurately predict the activity of guide RNAs across strains using population genomic data.

Published: September 2020

AbstractCar manufacturers in Indonesia need to determine reasonable warranty costs that do not burden companies or consumers. Several statistical approaches have been developed to analyze warranty costs. One of them is the Gertsbakh-Kordonsky method which reduces the two-dimensional warranty problem to one dimensional. In this research, we apply the Gertsbakh-Kordonsky method to estimate the warranty cost for car type A in XYZ company. The one-dimensional data will be tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov to determine its distribution and the parameter of distribution will be estimated using the maximum likelihood method. There are three approaches to estimate the parameter of the distribution. The difference between these three approaches is in the calculation of mileage for units that do not claim within the warranty period. In the application, we use claim data for the car type A. The data exploration indicates the failure of car type A is mostly due to the age of the vehicle. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov shows that the most appropriate distribution for the claim data is the three-parameter Weibull. Meanwhile, the estimated using the Gertsbakh-Kordonsky method shows that the warranty costs for car type A are around 3.54% from the selling price of this car unit without warranty i.e. around Rp. 4,248,000 per unit.Keywords: warranty costs; the Gertsbakh-Kordonsky method; maximum likelihood estimation; Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. AbstrakPerusahaan produsen mobil di Indonesia perlu menentukan biaya garansi yang bersifat wajar tidak memberatkan perusahaan maupun konsumen. Beberapa pendekatan statistik telah dikembangkan untuk menganalisis biaya garansi. Salah satunya adalah metode Gertsbakh-Kordonsky yang mereduksi masalah garansi dua dimensi menjadi satu dimensi. Pada penelitian ini, metode Gertsbakh-Kordonsky akan digunakan untuk mengestimasi biaya garansi untuk mobil tipe A pada perusahaan XYZ. Data satu dimensi hasil reduksi diuji kecocokan distribusinya menggunakan uji kecocokan Kolmogorov-Smirnov dan taksiran parameter distribusinya menggunakan metode penaksir kemungkinan maksimum. Ada tiga pendekatan yang digunakan untuk menaksir parameter distribusi. Perbedaan dari ketiga pendekatan tersebut terletak pada perhitungan jarak tempuh untuk unit yang tidak melakukan klaim dalam periode garansi. Sebagai bahan aplikasi, kami menggunakan data klaim unit mobil tipe A. Hasil eksplorasi data menunjukkan bahwa kegagalan mobil tipe A lebih banyak disebabkan karena faktor usia kendaraan. Hasil uji kecocokan distribusi untuk data hasil reduksi menunjukkan bahwa distribusi yang cocok adalah distribusi Weibull 3-parameter. Sementara itu, hasil perhitungan taksiran biaya garansi menunjukan bahwa taksiran biaya garansi untuk unit mobil tipe A sekitar 3,54% dari harga jual unit mobil tipe A tanpa garansi, atau sekitar Rp. 4.248.000,- per unit.Kata Kunci: biaya garansi; metode Gertsbakh-Kordonsky; penaksiran kemungkinan maksimum; uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:
Variability in presentation of children with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a challenge in emergency departments (EDs) in terms of early recognition, which has an effect on disease control and prevention. We describe a cohort of 170 children with COVID-19 and differences with the published cohorts.

METHODS:
Retrospective chart reviews on children (0–18 years) evaluated in 17 Italian pediatric EDs.

RESULTS:
In our cohort (median age of 45 months; interquartile range of 4 months–10.7 years), we found a high number of patients &lt;1 year with COVID-19 disease. The exposure happened mainly (59%) outside family clusters; 22% had comorbidities. Children were more frequently asymptomatic (17%) or with mild diseases (63%). Common symptoms were cough (43%) and difficulty feeding (35%). Chest computed tomography, chest radiograph, and point-of-care lung ultrasound were used in 2%, 36%, and 8% of cases, respectively. Forty-three percent of patients were admitted because of their clinical conditions. The minimal use of computed tomography and chest radiograph may have led to a reduced identification of moderate cases, which may have been clinically classified as mild cases.

CONCLUSIONS:
Italian children evaluated in the ED infrequently have notable disease symptoms. For pediatrics, COVID-19 may have rare but serious and life-threatening presentations but, in the majority of cases, represents an organizational burden for the ED. These data should not lower the attention to and preparedness for COVID-19 disease because children may represent a source of viral transmission. A clinically driven classification, instead of a radiologic, could be more valuable in predicting patient needs and better allocating resources.

Published: September 2020

AbstrakProses penciptaan alam semesta merukan misteri bagi manusia. Beragam teori telah dicoba dihadirkan untuk menjawab persoalan itu. Namun penjelasan-penjelasan yang ada oleh sains, telah mengabaikan dimensi non-material dalam penjelasannya. Dalam hal inilah para filsuf Muslim, terkhusus Ibnu Sina, telah berhasil membuat penjelasan dua dimensi itu (material dan non-material). Berdasarkan hal itulah penulis merumuskan penelitian tentang Proses Penciptaan Alam Dalam Teori Emanasi Ibnu Sina. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada metode analitis-deskriptif yang didasarkan pada penelitian pustaka. Adapun hasil penelitian ini adalah: Pertama, teori emanasi Ibnu Sina adalah dari ta’aqqul Tuhan terhadap dirinya memancarkan akal Pertama, dari akal Pertama memancar akal kedua dan langit pertama begitu selanjutnya sampai akal kesepuluh dan bumi. Kedua, dari akal kesepuluh inilah memancar kembali yang menghasilkan empat unsur yaitu: Api, air, tanah dan udara. Ketiga, konsep wajib al wujud menjadi bukti adanya Tuhan dan mungkin al-wujud bi zatihi atau wajib al-wujud bi ghairihi adalah menjadi bukti adanya alam jagad raya.

Updated GMICE for Central and Eastern North America Extending to Higher Intensities
Authors: Cramer Chris H. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractRecent M 3–5 earthquakes near Cushing, Oklahoma, provide observations of intensity up to eight with accompanying ground motions due to close-in acceleration records at distances less than 30 km from the epicenters. Adding these observations to the existing Central and Eastern North America (CENA) ground-motion intensity correlation equation (GMICE) database allows the updating of a CENA GMICE from a linear (below intensity six) relationship to a more accurate bilinear relationship (up to intensity eight). The updating of the CENA GMICE is accomplished using linear regression and residual analysis. The analysis shows that the bilinear transition is fairly broad in the CENA covering one to two intensity units and one or more orders of magnitude in ground motion, depending on regression direction. The new CENA GMICE reduces the overprediction of ground motions from high intensities and the underprediction of intensities at both ends of the observed ground-motion range.
Risk Assessment of Aflatoxins in Maize-Groundnuts Complemen-tary Foods Consumed by Ghanaian Infants
Authors: Omari R. , Anyebuno G. 
Published: September 2020

Background: Complementary foods are given to infants when breast milk alone becomes insufficient in meeting their nutritional needs. The major objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of Aflatoxins (AFs) in Weanimix complementary foods purchased from shops in Accra (Ghana), and to estimate risk of liver cancer development in infants.
Methods: In total, 32 samples of Weanimix were purchased from shops in Accra, an urban centre and analyzed for AFs by Reverse-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). Previously published data on levels of AFs in Weanimix prepared in rural households were also collected. The data was analyzed to estimate infants’ daily exposure to AFs as well as the risk of liver cancer development.
Results: AFs levels of 18.8% of samples were above the maximum permitted limit of 10 µg/kg. The minimum and maximum levels of total AFs detected in all samples were 2.51 and 98.87 µg/kg, respectively with a mean value of 16.43 µg/kg. Exposure assessment showed that the minimum and maximum daily AFs exposures were 0.044 and 2.805 µg/kg bw/d, respectively for Weanimix from rural households; these rates for Weanimix purchased from urban shops were 0.014 and 0.55 µg/kg bw/d, respectively. The chances of liver cancer development would increase to 0.6 per year if infants were fed on Weanimix prepared in rural households with minimum AF level of 7.9 µg/kg.
Conclusion: The infants fed on Weanimix prepared in rural households would be at a higher risk of AF exposure and liver cancer development than infants fed on Weanimix purchased from urban shops of Ghana.

Background. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly informative method for the diagnosis of various types of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), which makes its use an integral component in choosing a treatment algorithm and evaluating its effectiveness.Objective. Determine the value of MRI in the diagnosis, planning and effectiveness of conservative treatment of patients with various types of ventral dislocation of the intra-articular disk TMJ.Design and methods. We analyzed the results of clinical and instrumental studies at the stages of planning, treatment and evaluating the effectiveness of conservative therapy in dynamics in 62 patients with complaints of pain in the joint area, difficulty opening the mouth and joint noise. Results. In patients from the dynamic observation group with complete ventral dislocation of the disc identified prior to treatment, conservative treatment underwent positive dynamics of clinical manifestations and the absence or negative dynamics of MRI results. In patients with partial ventral dislocation of the disk, there was a positive dynamic of both clinical manifestations and MR images after conservative treatment.Conclusion. MRI is a fundamental method in the complex diagnosis of various types of ventral dislocation of the disk, the use of which in certain cases allows us to predict the ineffectiveness of conservative therapy and becomes a decisive factor in the appointment of invasive treatment methods.
