Comparison Between Maximum Annual and Peak Over Threshold Methods for the Determination of Extreme Waves in Moroccan Atlantic Coast
Authors: Bakali H , Serhir N , Aouiche I 
Published: September 2021

AbstractIn this article, we present a study that focuses on forecasting the one hundred-years return period waves height using two methods; i) Peak Over Threshold (POT) and ii) Annual Maxima (MA). The analysis is carried out at three points at the Atlantic coast of northern Morocco. The results obtained by these two methods indicate a difference of less than 10 % and have shown that to ensure safe dimensioning of maritime structures, the application of the two statistical methods is necessary. This is explained by the drawbacks encountered in both methods. In the MA method, the inconvenience is linked to the choice of non-extreme events when no significant storm is recorded during one year, furthermore, the non-consideration of important events recorded in other year. In the second method (POT), the difficulty consists in the uncertainty of the calculations by the POT method due to the mistrust associated with the choice of the censoring threshold.
Prospects for the Cultivation of Vicia Sativa L. in Mixed Crops on Green Manure in Novgorod Region
Authors: Ambartsumova K A 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Interest in the cultivation of mixed crops increases every year in proportion to the growth of the appearance of problems associated with the deterioration of soil fertility, the rise in the cost of resources and the strengthening of weather anomalies in the country. The problem of decreasing soil fertility and the continuing increase in prices for mineral fertilizers will eventually lead to the introduction of alternative methods of accumulating humus in the soil using low-cost technologies in forage production. In our country, in which the path of intensive development of animal husbandry has been chosen as the main industry in agriculture, feed should make up 80% of all products obtained from agriculture. Studies on the cultivation of vetch (Vicia sativa L.) for green manure purposes have shown that thanks to the deep root system of the vetch-green manure, the soil loosens naturally without the need to dig up arable land. Rotting in the ground, the root leaves empty areas filled with water and air. The conducted studies of the use of vetch in mixed crops for green manure purposes allow recommending joint sowing 1:1 (through a row) vetch with oats as an alternative way to single-species sowing of vetch.
Differentiated Fertilization in the System of Precision Farming on the Complex of Gray Forest Soils in Vladimir Opolye

Published: September 2021

Abstract
The studies were carried out in a long-term stationary field experiment from 1997 to 2008 on gray forest soils of Vladimir Opolye. The soils of Vladimir Opolye are distinguished by a high complexity and heterogeneity of the soil cover. The higher potential fertility is possessed by the soils with the 2nd humus horizon, the lower–by the gray forest non-podzolized soils. This heterogeneity leads to the “variegation” of crop yields. As a result of the experiment, it was established that when applying high doses of mineral fertilizers, the content of mobile phosphorus and exchangeable potassium increases, but the physicochemical and chemical properties of the soil deteriorate. Exchangeable and hydrolytic acidity increases, and the humus content decreases. This leads to a decrease in crop yields. The use of differentiated doses of fertilizers–low on soils with a 2nd humus horizon and high on gray forest and podzolized soils–will make it possible to achieve an even yield of agricultural crops, reduce the unproductive costs of mineral fertilizers and improve the ecological state of agricultural landscapes.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
The article considers the problem of building social infrastructure facilities in agricultural holdings and proves that the use of environmental innovations in the construction of such facilities not only leads to a reduction in resource and carbon intensity, but also provides a social and environmental effect due to informing and educating the population. Environmental innovations in the construction of social facilities can be used for the purposes of environmental education and training of not only children but also adults through open lessons, thematic lectures and demonstrations of sustainable construction techniques. As an example, we present the results of comparative evaluation of carbon footprint of the school building project with kindergarten and cultural and leisure center made of traditional monolithic reinforced concrete structures and 3D polystyrene foam panels, obtained with SimaPro 9.1.1.1 software. It is shown that the use of innovative construction technology leads to a reduction of the carbon footprint in the life cycle of a building by 1.5 times compared to traditional technology.
Variability of the Generative Function of Bulls of Different Breeds and Their Tolerance in Connection with the Change in the Lunar Phases
Authors: Shestakov V M , Ermoshina E V , Korolev V B , Pimkina T N , Koroleva E V 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
It was revealed that the Moon, being in its full phase, affects the quality of the ejaculate of sire bulls; there is an increase in the activity of spermatozoa in the ejaculate of all tested bulls, as a whole and separately for each line. A significant increase in the activity of sperm cells in the ejaculate from 8.4 points in the new moon to the maximum activity of 8.65 points in the full moon was revealed. The highest rate of sperm production was revealed in bulls in the full moon phase up to 6.2 ml of ejaculate, which is 16.1% higher than the smallest volume of ejaculate equal to 5.2 ml obtained in the new moon phase (P <0.001). The average indicator for sire bulls in terms of the concentration of sperm in the ejaculate was the maximum in the full moon phase - 1.18 bln/ml. That significantly exceeded the indicators of sperm concentration in the new moon and last quarter stage by 0.18 and 0.1 bln/ml, respectively, with a fairly high degree of variability of this feature of 31.8 … 39.4%. The unequal ability to adapt to changing conditions of a space nature in animals of different breeds and lines has been established. The Montvik Chieftain 95679 bulls were less tolerant. The Siling Traijune Rokita sire bulls proved to be more tolerant. Sperm production in bulls of this line was more stable. With age, sires of all lines become more sensitive to the changing lunar phases. The greatest dependence is seen in the bulls of the Simmental breed.
Adaptation of Sorghum Crops in the North-West of the Non-Black Earth Zone
Authors: Shkodina E P , Lashkova T B , Bevz S Ya 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The article addresses the issue of whether it is possible to grow thermophilic crops of the sorghum family for forage purposes in the North-west zone. For 4 years of research, a high degree of adaptation of the plants to growing conditions and their ecological plasticity, declared in the characteristics of the studied crops, have been confirmed. It has been found that the lack of heat in the zone of excessive moisture and long daylight hours is the main limiting factor that has a direct effect on both the duration of interstage periods and the height and yield of green mass of the plants. Even under extreme conditions of acute heat deficit, sorghum crops have been able to form a full-fledged harvest of green mass. The sum of active temperatures in the zone is not enough for the sorghum to complete the full development cycle.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Seed propagation of phalaenopsis is carried out by sowing seeds on artificial nutrient media. In the work, the influence of the basic composition of the nutrient medium, the addition of liquid endosperm of coconut, activated carbon, growth regulators and sucrose concentration on the germination of seeds and the effectiveness of the formation of seed progeny plants was studied. The best result was obtained by cultivating seeds on a B5 nutrient medium supplemented with 35 g/l of sucrose and 7 g/l of agar and amounted to 92.1% of germination and 34.4% of mature plants.
Diversity in nonlinear responses to soil moisture shapes evolutionary constraints in Brachypodium
Authors: Monroe J Grey , Cai Haoran , Des Marais David L 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Water availability is perhaps the greatest environmental determinant of plant yield and fitness. However, our understanding of plant-water relations is limited because—like many studies of organism-environment interaction—it is primarily informed by experiments considering performance at two discrete levels—wet and dry—rather than as a continuously varying environmental gradient. Here, we used experimental and statistical methods based on function-valued traits to explore genetic variation in responses to a continuous soil moisture gradient in physiological and morphological traits among 10 genotypes across two species of the model grass genus Brachypodium. We find that most traits exhibit significant genetic variation and nonlinear responses to soil moisture variability. We also observe differences in the shape of these nonlinear responses between traits and genotypes. Emergent phenomena arise from this variation including changes in trait correlations and evolutionary constraints as a function of soil moisture. Our results point to the importance of considering diversity in nonlinear organism-environment relationships to understand plastic and evolutionary responses to changing climates.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
This study investigated the efficacy and complications of albendazole use after surgery in patients with pulmonary hydatid cysts.

METHODS
One hundred fifty-three consecutive patients who met the study criteria out of 215 patients who received prophylaxis with albendazole after surgery for isolated pulmonary hydatid cysts in our clinic between January 2011 and December 2020 were analysed retrospectively.

RESULTS
Eighty-six out of 153 (56.2%) of cases were male and 67 (43.8%) were female. The average age was 24.6 ± 17.4 (between 3 and 71 years), 76 of them (49.7%) were 18 years old and younger, while 77 (50.3%) were adults. All cases were approached transthoracically and a total of 170 operations were performed on the 153 cases. Fever, weakness and dizziness were reported in only one patient who was given albendazole treatment. A partial increase in liver enzymes was observed in 16 cases (10.5%) after albendazole treatment. Mild leukopoenia and neutropenia were observed in only one of the cases. In 1 case, a second operation was performed 30 months later due to recurrence. Albendazole treatment was not required to be discontinued in any of the cases. Mortality was not observed in any of the cases. Factors such as mean age, cyst size and hospitalization period did not have a statistically significant effect on any changes in liver enzymes tests following albendazole therapy (P &gt; 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS
Albendazole treatment can safely be used for postoperative prophylaxis in patients with pulmonary hydatid cysts in a controlled manner without causing serious complications.

Effects of chiral MIT boundary conditions for a Dirac particle in a box
Authors: Rohim Ar , Yamamoto Kazuhiro 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
We investigate the effects of the chiral MIT boundary conditions for a Dirac particle in a 1D box. We show how the boundary condition affects the discrete momentum, energy level, transition frequency, and spin state in a box. The effects of the chiral MIT boundary conditions on the probability and scalar densities are also demonstrated. The results show that an asymmetric distribution appears in the box depending on the parameters of the spin orientation and chiral angle.
Tracy–Widom method for Jánossy density and joint distribution of extremal eigenvalues of random matrices
Authors: Nishigaki Shinsuke M 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The Jánossy density for a determinantal point process is the probability density that an interval $I$ contains exactly $p$ points except for those at $k$ designated loci. The Jánossy density associated with an integrable kernel $\mathbf{K}\doteq (\varphi(x)\psi(y)-\psi(x)\varphi(y))/(x-y)$ is shown to be expressed as a Fredholm determinant $\mathrm{Det}(\mathbb{I}-\tilde{\mathbf{K}}|_I)$ of a transformed kernel $\tilde{\mathbf{K}}\doteq (\tilde{\varphi}(x)\tilde{\psi}(y)-\tilde{\psi}(x)\tilde{\varphi}(y))/(x-y)$. We observe that $\tilde{\mathbf{K}}$ satisfies Tracy and Widom’s criteria if $\mathbf{K}$ does, because of the structure that the map $(\varphi, \psi)\mapsto (\tilde{\varphi}, \tilde{\psi})$ is a meromorphic $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ gauge transformation between covariantly constant sections. This observation enables application of the Tracy–Widom method [7] to Jánossy densities, expressed in terms of a solution to a system of differential equations in the endpoints of the interval. Our approach does not explicitly refer to isomonodromic systems associated with Painlevé equations employed in the preceding works. As illustrative examples we compute Jánossy densities with $k=1, p=0$ for Airy and Bessel kernels, related to the joint distributions of the two largest eigenvalues of random Hermitian matrices and of the two smallest singular values of random complex matrices.

Published: September 2021

Grape ripe rot is an important disease that has seriously damaged the yield and quality of grape worldwide. The disease is caused by Colletotrichum viniferum, a hemibiotrophic fungus that belongs to the Glomerellaceae family of Sordariomycetes class. Here, we present the genome of C. viniferum CvYL2a from grape, based on Illumina HiSeq 2500 and PacBio RS II. The high-quality genome consists of 70 contigs with a 73.41 Mb genome size and encodes 14,668 protein-coding genes. These genes were annotated using Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, EuKaryotic Orthologous Groups, Nonredundant Protein, and Swiss-Prot databases. In addition, we identified a series of genes involved in pathogenicity, including 909 carbohydrate-active enzymes, 67 secondary metabolite gene clusters, and 307 cytochrome P450 enzymes. This genome sequence provides a valuable reference for research on grape–C. viniferum interactions, the pathogenesis of C. viniferum, and comparative genome analyses.

How an Online Teaching Community Supports and Equips Interprofessional Graduate Faculty
Authors: Pearce Michelle J. , Cestone Christina 
Published: September 2021

Introduction:
Learning communities have been shown to help strengthen teaching skills, innovation, and scholarship. We sought to understand the impact of an online teaching community among interprofessional graduate faculty at a health professions university, notably in the context of COVID-19.

Methods:
The University of Maryland, Baltimore's Online Teaching Community (OTC) was created in 2019 to provide peer-to-peer faculty support and resources for effective online teaching. The OTC meets monthly, online, for a 1-hour informal discussion including a 30-minute topical presentation related to online teaching. A brief impact survey was completed in May 2020, as well as a live poll in January 2021.

Results:
Membership doubled after the first year; the OTC becoming particularly relevant after COVID-19, including individuals across seven professional schools on campus. Faculty reported enjoying the sense of community, feeling supported as an online instructor, and learning strategies and sharing resources for online instruction.

Discussion:
An OTC can support, unite, and equip interprofessional graduate faculty members to teach online. The OTC described may be a helpful model for developing and implementing OTCs on other campuses.
Remediation Programs for Regulated Health Care Professionals: A Scoping Review
Authors: Kennedy Geneva , Jacobs Nicole , Freemark Lily , Madan Simran , Chan Natalie , Tran Yvonne , Miller Patricia A. 
Published: September 2021

Purpose:
Clinical competence is essential for providing safe, competent care and is regularly assessed to ensure health care practitioners maintain competence. When deficiencies in competence are identified, practitioners may undergo remediation. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of remediation programs. The purpose of this review is to examine the purpose, format, and outcomes of remediation programs for regulated health care practitioners.

Methods:
All six stages of the scoping review process as recommended by Levac et al were undertaken. A search was conducted within MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, gray literature databases, and websites of Canadian provincial regulatory bodies. Emails were sent to Registrars of Canadian regulatory bodies to supplement data gathered from their websites.

Results:
A total of 14 programs were identified, primarily for physicians (n = 8). Reasons for remediation varied widely, with some programs identifying multiple reasons for referral such as deficiencies in recordkeeping (n = 7) and clinical skills (n = 6). Most programs (n = 9) were individualized to address specific deficiencies in competence. The process of remediation followed three stages: (1) assessment, (2) active remediation, and (3) reassessment. Most programs (n = 12) reported that remediation was effective in improving competence.

Conclusions:
Regulatory bodies should consider implementing individualized remediation programs to ensure that clinicians' deficiencies in competence are addressed effectively. Further research is indicated, using reliable and valid outcome measures to assess competence immediately after remediation programs and beyond.
Carotid Arterial Compliance and Aerobic Exercise Training in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study
Authors: Tomoto Tsubasa , Le Tran , Tarumi Takashi , Dieppa Marisara , Bell Kathleen , Madden Christopher , Zhang Rong , Ding Kan 
Published: September 2021

Objective:
Decreased carotid arterial compliance (CAC) is associated with cerebral microvascular damage, cerebral blood flow (CBF) dysregulation, and increased risk for stroke and dementia, which are reported to be prevalent after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the effect of TBI on CAC has not been reported. The purposes of this pilot study were to (1) compare CAC between participants with chronic traumatic brain injury (cTBI) and age-matched healthy control (HC) subjects and (2) to examine whether CAC changed after 3 months of exercise training in those with cTBI.

Setting:
Community based.

Participants:
Nineteen participants with cTBI (6-72 months postinjury) and 19 HC matched for age and sex were tested at baseline. The same cTBI cohort was enrolled in a proof-of-concept randomized controlled exercise training program to investigate the effects of 3 months of aerobic exercise training (AET) or nonaerobic stretching and toning (SAT) on cerebrovascular parameters.

Design:
Cross-sectional study and randomized controlled trial.

Main Measures:
CAC was measured by tonometry and ultrasonography at the common carotid artery; CBF was measured by ultrasonography at the bilateral internal carotid and vertebral arteries, and pulsatile CBF was measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography at the middle cerebral arteries. Cerebrovascular resistance (CVR) was calculated as mean arterial pressure divided by total CBF.

Results:
Relative to HC, the participants with cTBI had lower CAC (0.10 ± 0.03 vs 0.12 ± 0.03 mm2/mm Hg, P = .046) and higher CVR (0.17 ± 0.03 vs 0.15 ± 0.03 mm Hg/mL/min, P = .028). CAC tended to increase after AET compared with SAT (P = .080). Increases in CAC were associated with decreased pulsatile CBF (r = −0.689, P = .003).

Conclusion:
These findings suggest that the individuals with cTBI have decreased CAC, which may potentially be improved by AET.
Changing resuscitation strategies during a pandemic: lessons from the consecutive surges in New York and global challenges
Authors: Jafari Daniel , Cohen Allison L. , Monsieurs Koen , Becker Lance B. 
Published: September 2021

Purpose of review
To provide a framework for resuscitation of COVID-19 critical illness for emergency and intensive care clinicians with the most up to date evidence and recommendations in the care of COVID-19 patients in cardiac arrest or in extremis.

Recent findings
Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on COVID-19 patients requires the clinicians to adopt infection mitigation strategies such as full personal protective equipment, mechanical chest compression devices, and restricting the number of people present during the resuscitation. The time of intubation is a subject of ongoing research and clinicians should use their best judgment for each patient. Clinicians should prepare for CPR in prone position. Particular attention should be given to the psychological well-being of the staff. Point of care ultrasound has proved to be an invaluable diagnostic tool in assessing ventricular dysfunction and parenchymal lung disease. Although novel therapies to supplant the function of diseased lungs have shown promise in select patients the evidence is still being collected. The end-of-life discussions have been negatively impacted by prognostic uncertainty as well as barriers to in person meetings with families.

Summary
The resuscitation of critically ill COVID-19 patients poses new challenges, but the principles remain largely unchanged.
Centrality and Decentration
Authors: Phulpin Hugo , Goze Tudi , Faure Karine , Lysaker Paul H. 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
A considerable body of phenomenological research has described different ways in which the relationship of the person to the world in psychosis is affected. This literature, however, has lacked an accepted unifying theoretical model and means of quantitatively measuring these disturbances. To address this, the current article seeks to integrate a novel phenomenological model of psychosis offered by Henri Grivois, which is explicitly concerned with centrality or a person's sense of being the center of all things, with empirical research on the integrative model of metacognition, which allows for measurements of decentration or the degree to which persons can form integrated ideas about their place in their larger community. It is proposed that this literature may allow for a model of how psychotherapy can address centrality through the building of intersubjectivity and enhancing metacognition.
