HighlightsSignificant bioaerosol concentrations were detected in beef slaughter facilitiesAirflow was modeled in beef facilities and potential pathogens were trackedResults indicate transport of bioaerosols toward chiller with final food productNew ventilation designs indicate that plant sanitation can be improvedAdditional studies are required to verify effectiveness of new ventilation Abstract. and Shiga toxin producing (STEC) have long been recognized as pathogens of concern in meat products due to the prevalence of these microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract and hide of livestock. Bacterial ingestion due to contaminated food products causes a great economic burden from the hospitalization and death of those who become infected. Recently, aerosolized bacteria have been recognized as a threat to human health and shelf life of food. In beef processing facilities, the majority of harmful bacteria are introduced by the cattle. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can harbor and transport these microscopic organisms. Salmonella and STEC cause 78 billion dollars lost every year due to contaminated food. During the harvesting process, these pathogens may become aerosolized from the carcasses by various mechanisms, including worker activity and airflow from HVAC systems. Although bacteria are robust creatures, environmental conditions including ventilation can be manipulated to disrupt their proliferation. In this study, one rural and one small beef facility were examined. High air volume wetted wall cyclone bioaerosol samplers capable of collecting and concentrating bioaerosols in a liquid effluent were used during the entire processing at bleeding, de-limbing, de-hiding, washing, and chiller locations. Bioaerosols were analyzed using microbial plating, quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction, and microbiome analysis. Total bacteria counts, STEC, and concentrations were enumerated in the air and critical areas were identified. and STEC were found to increase with each passing day in the facility, as well, total counts and STEC increased between morning and afternoon phases of processing. Significant differences in total counts and temperature were found at different locations in the facilities. Blueprints were obtained from the examined facilities and the cattle processing floors were modeled using computational fluid dynamics. The airflow created from the HVAC systems was found to have a significant effect on the spread of bioaerosols. Similarities were found between the collected concentrations of bioaerosols and particle traces in the modeled facilities. Finally, new ventilation models were generated to significantly increase the sanitation of the beef slaughtering process.

Dual-projector structured light 3D shape measurement
Authors: Yu Ying , Lau Daniel L. , Ruffner Matthew P. , Liu Kai 
Published: December 2019

Structured light illumination is an active three-dimensional scanning technique that uses a projector and camera pair to project and capture a series of stripe patterns; however, with a single camera and single projector, structured light scanning has issues associated with scan occlusions, multi-path, and weak signal reflections. To address these issues, this paper proposes dual-projector scanning using a range of projector/camera arrangements. Unlike previous attempts at dual-projector scanning, the proposed scanner drives both light engines simultaneously, using temporal-frequency multiplexing to computationally decouple the projected patterns. Besides presenting the details of how such a system is built, we also present experimental results demonstrating how multiple projectors can be used to (1) minimize occlusions; (2) achieve higher signal-to-noise ratios having twice a single projector’s brightness; (3) reduce the number of component video frames required for a scan; and (4) detect multi-path interference.

Published: December 2019

We demonstrate time-resolved simultaneous measurements of multiple hydrocarbons in high-temperature reacting and non-reacting mixtures using a broadband (instantaneous bandwidth 2.80–3.57 µm) subharmonic mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator based on orientation-patterned gallium phosphide. High-temperature absorption spectra and concentration time-histories of methane, ethane, and ethylene are measured at pressures around 2.3–2.7 atm and temperatures around 1235–1277 K in shock tube experiments.

Published: December 2019

We present a membrane external-cavity surface-emitting laser (MECSEL) operating around 825 nm at room temperature. With a tuning range of 22 nm, the MECSEL fills the spectral gap between 810 nm and 830 nm, and extends the wavelength coverage of this category of high-beam-quality semiconductor lasers. For high-power operation, the pump spot size and cavity mode size can be enlarged in MECSELs. We apply this technique and demonstrate power scaling. The maximum output power is increased from 0.7 W to 1.4 W. Investigations on the beam quality reveal thermal lensing with a marginally changing

Abstract
Ransdell, LB, Murray, T, Gao, Y, Jones, P, and Bycura, D. A 4-year profile of game demands in elite women's Division I college basketball. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 632–638, 2020—Workload for a Division I women's collegiate basketball team (0.817 win percentage) was examined by: (a) season, (b) player position, and (c) game outcome (wins vs. losses). Female athletes (n = 6, mean 19.7 ± 1.5 years, at beginning of study) wore Catapult S5 units during 91.8% of games over a 4-year period. Average PlayerLoad, PlayerLoad per minute (PL·min−1), high inertial movement analysis (high-IMA), and jumps were quantified using Catapult Openfield software (version 1.14.1+). Data were checked for normality and log- or square-root-transformed when they were non-normal. A series of linear mixed model analyses were conducted to detect differences in PlayerLoad, PL·min−1, high-IMA, and jumps by season, position, and game outcome. PL·min−1 and jumps data were not normal, so they were transformed, analyses were run; because there were no differences in findings, data are reported in original units to allow for comparisons with other studies. Cohen's d and confidence intervals were provided as additional information about the strength of reported differences. The 3 most consistent findings were that across a 4-year period, jumps increased, PL·min−1 was higher in guards compared with posts, and high-IMA was higher in losses compared with wins. Other workload patterns were inconsistent, and inappropriate for making conclusive statements. Therefore, comparing jumps across multiple seasons, PL·min−1 by player position and high-IMA in losses are important; in addition, all data can be used to profile National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I women's basketball players and set game workload expectations.
Categories: Between Cubes and Globes. Sketch I
Authors: Bespalov Y. 
Published: December 2019

For a finite partially ordered set I, we define an abstract polytope PI which is a cube or a globe in the cases of discrete or linear poset, respectively. For a poset P, we have built a small category ♦P with finite lower subsets in P as objects. This category ♦P = ♦P+♦P- is factorized into a product of two wide subcategories ♦P+ of faces and ♦P- of degenerations. One can imagine a degeneration from I to J ⊂ I as a projection of an abstract polytope PI to the subspace spanned by J. Morphisms in ♦P+ with fixed target I are identified with faces of PI . The composition in ♦P admits the natural geometric interpretation. On the category ♦I of presheaves on ♦I , we construct a monad of free category in two steps: for a terminal presheaf, the free category is obtained via a generalized nerve construction; in the general case, the cells of a nerve are colored by elements of the initial presheaf. Strict P-fold categories are defined as algebras over this monad. All constructions are functorial in P. The usual theory of globular and cubical higher categories can be translated in a natural way into our general context.
Asthma and the Risk of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Castro-Rodriguez Jose A. , Abarca Katia , Forno Erick 
Published: December 2019

CONTEXT:
Invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumonia are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, and asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the risk of IPD or pneumonia among children with asthma after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs).

DATA SOURCES:
Four electronic databases were searched.

STUDY SELECTION:
We selected all cohorts or case-control studies of IPD and pneumonia in populations who already received PCV (largely 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine), but not 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide, in which authors reported data for children with asthma and in which healthy controls were included, without language restriction.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Two reviewers independently reviewed all studies. Primary outcomes were occurrence of IPD and pneumonia. Secondary outcomes included mortality, hospital admissions, hospital length of stay, ICU admission, respiratory support, costs, and additional medication use.

RESULTS:
Five studies met inclusion criteria; of those, 3 retrospective cohorts (∼26 million person-years) and 1 case-control study (N = 3294 children) qualified for the meta-analysis. Children with asthma had 90% higher odds of IPD than healthy controls (odds ratio = 1.90; 95% confidence interval = 1.63–2.11; I2 = 1.7%). Pneumonia was also more frequent among children with asthma than among controls, and 1 study reported that pneumonia-associated costs increased by asthma severity.

LIMITATIONS:
None of the identified studies had information of asthma therapy or compliance.

CONCLUSIONS:
Despite PCV vaccination, children with asthma continue to have a higher risk of IPD than children without asthma. Further research is needed to assess the need for supplemental 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination in children with asthma, regardless of their use of oral steroids.

Published: December 2019

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with reported prevalence in the United States of 1 in 59 children (approximately 1.7%). Core deficits are identified in 2 domains: social communication/interaction and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior. Children and youth with ASD have service needs in behavioral, educational, health, leisure, family support, and other areas. Standardized screening for ASD at 18 and 24 months of age with ongoing developmental surveillance continues to be recommended in primary care (although it may be performed in other settings), because ASD is common, can be diagnosed as young as 18 months of age, and has evidenced-based interventions that may improve function. More accurate and culturally sensitive screening approaches are needed. Primary care providers should be familiar with the diagnosticcriteria for ASD, appropriate etiologic evaluation, and co-occurring medical and behavioral conditions (such as disorders of sleep and feeding, gastrointestinal tract symptoms, obesity, seizures, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and wandering) that affect the child’s function and quality of life. There is an increasing evidence base to support behavioral and other interventions to address specific skills and symptoms. Shared decision making calls for collaboration with families in evaluation and choice of interventions. This single clinical report updates the 2007 American Academy of Pediatrics clinical reports on the evaluation and treatment of ASD in one publication with an online table of contents and section view available through the American Academy of Pediatrics Gateway to help the reader identify topic areas within the report.

Abstract

Background
The fluoropyrimidines, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capecitabine, are commonly used chemotherapeutic agents that have been associated with coronary vasospasm.

Methods
In this retrospective case-control study, we identified patients at our institution who received 5-FU or capecitabine in 2018. We compared characteristics of patients who experienced cardiotoxicity with controls. We described phenotypes and outcomes of cardiotoxic cases.

Results
We identified 177 patients who received fluoropyrimidines. After adjudication, 4.5% of the cohort met the criteria for cardiovascular toxicity. Coronary artery disease was more common among cases than controls (38% vs. 7%, p &lt; .05). There was also a trend toward increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in cases compared with controls. Most cardiotoxic cases had chest pain, although a minority of cases presented with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

Conclusion
Cardiotoxicity phenotypes associated with fluoropyrimidine use are not limited to coronary vasospasm. Cardiac risk factors and ischemic heart disease were highly prevalent among patients with cardiotoxicity.
Loss of Histone H3 K79 Methyltransferase Dot1l Facilitates Kidney Fibrosis by Upregulating Endothelin 1 through Histone Deacetylase 2

Published: December 2019

Significance StatementIf and how endothelin 1, a potent vasoconstrictor with proinflammatory and profibrotic properties, is upregulated to promote CKD is largely unknown. Emerging evidence has suggested that histone H3 K79 methyltransferase Dot1l exerts an antifibrotic effect by repressing the gene encoding endothelin 1 (Edn1) in the connecting tubule/collecting duct. The authors demonstrate in connecting tubule/collecting duct–specificDot1lconditional knockout mice that disruption ofDot1lfacilitates CKD development by upregulating endothelin 1, and thatDot1landEdn1double-knockout mice have a significantly attenuated CKD phenotype. Dot1l and histone deacetylase 2 mutually inhibit their association with theEdn1promoter to regulate endothelin 1 production. This study is the first to defineDot1las an epigenetic modifier of CKD, establishes a new CKD mouse model, and reveals a novel mechanism regulatingEdn1transcription.BackgroundThe progression rate of CKD varies substantially among patients. The genetic and epigenetic contributions that modify how individual patients respond to kidney injury are largely unknown. Emerging evidence has suggested that histone H3 K79 methyltransferase Dot1l has an antifibrotic effect by repressingEdn1, which encodes endothelin 1 in the connecting tubule/collecting duct.MethodsTo determine if deletion of theDot1lgene is a genetic and epigenetic risk factor through regulatingEdn1,we studied four groups of mice: wild-type mice, connecting tubule/collecting duct–specificDot1lconditional knockout mice (Dot1lAC),Dot1landEdn1double-knockout mice (DEAC), andEdn1connecting tubule/collecting duct–specific conditional knockout mice (Edn1AC), under three experimental conditions (streptozotocin-induced diabetes, during normal aging, and after unilateral ureteral obstruction). We used several approaches (colocalization, glutathione S-transferase pulldown, coimmunoprecipitation, yeast two-hybrid, gel shift, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays) to identify and confirm interaction of Dot1a (the majorDot1lsplicing variant in the mouse kidney) with histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2), as well as the function of the Dot1a-HDAC2 complex in regulatingEdn1transcription.ResultsIn each case,Dot1lACmice developed more pronounced kidney fibrosis and kidney malfunction compared with wild-type mice. TheseDot1lACphenotypes were ameliorated in the double-knockoutDEACmice. The interaction between Dot1a and HDAC2 prevents the Dot1a-HDAC2 complex from association with DNA, providing a counterbalancing mechanism governingEdn1transcription by modulating H3 K79 dimethylation and H3 acetylation at theEdn1promoter.ConclusionsOur study confirmsDot1lto be a genetic and epigenetic modifier of kidney fibrosis, reveals a new mechanism regulatingEdn1transcription by Dot1a and HDAC2, and reinforces endothelin 1 as a therapeutic target of kidney fibrosis.

This article aims to reveal the urgency of memorizing al-Qur’an (tahfîdz al-qur’ân) at Al-Huda Islamic Boarding School, Gorontalo. Tahfîdz al-qur’ân program is the interaction between santri and al-Qur’an, and it is also the valuable religious experience, thus it is considered as their learning achievement. This study focuses on tahfîdz al-qur’ân program at Al-Huda Islamic Boarding School, Gorontalo, which is a minimum of five juz for five semesters. Therefore, it is closely related to the santris’ academic and non-academic achievements in this boarding school. This study used educational and psycological approach by qualitative-descriptive method. The result shows that the santri have various ability to memorize al-Qur’an, from one to six juz, eventhough in the same ways. In addition, tahfîdz al-qur’ân program has closely relation to santris’ academic and non-academic achievements. Thus, the better their memorization of al-Qur’an, the better their academic and non-academic achievements.[Artikel ini mengungkap tentang urgensi hafalan al-Qur’an (tahfîdz al-qur’ân) di Pondok Pesantren Al-Huda, Gorontalo.

Published: December 2019

Целью исследования является разработка нового композиционного материала для плакирующего рабочего слоя литых биметаллических втулок, которые работают в узлах трения, и изучение его триботехнических свойств.Основные результаты – конструкция антифрикционной втулки разрабатывалась таким образом, чтобы после механической обработки более мягкие участки матрицы чередовались с более твердыми участками армирующих вставок. Изготовлены композиционные втулки из сплава АК12 внутренним диаметром 50 мм с армирующими вставками в виде проволоки диаметром 2 мм из нержавеющей (08Х18Н10Т) и углеродистой стали (ст. 45). Установлено, что износ композиционных втулок ниже, чем втулок из моносплава АК12 в 1,3…1,7 раз. При этом лучший результат достигнут при применении армирующих вставок из углеродистой стали ст. 45. Это можно объяснить оптимальным сочетанием твердости армирующих элементов и матрицы на уровне 3,09. В случае применения армирующих вставок из стали 08Х18Н10Т это соотношение составляет 3,27.
