Clinical Neurorehabilitation: Using Principles of Neurological Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Neuroplasticity in Assessment and Treatment Planning
Authors: Katz Douglas I. , Dwyer Brigid 
Published: March 2021

AbstractNeurorehabilitation aspires to restore a person to his or her fullest potential after incurring neurological dysfunction. In medical rehabilitation, diagnosis involves assessment of medical conditions and their effects on functioning. It is usually a team effort that involves an amalgam of diagnostic assessments by multiple disciplines, leading to a collection of rehabilitative treatment plans and goals. This article discusses a clinical neurological paradigm, using rigorous clinical assessment of neuropathological and clinical diagnosis, along with prognostication of natural history and recovery. In the context of the role of neuroplasticity in recovery, this paradigm can add significant value to rehabilitation team management and planning. It contributes to enhanced understanding of neurological impairments and syndromes as they relate to functional disability, aiding in targeting deficits and setting treatment goals. Rehabilitation strategies and goals should be informed by natural history and prognosis, and viewed in the framework of the stage of recovery. Prognostic formulations should suggest an emphasis on restorative versus compensatory strategies for functional problems. Treatment planning should be informed by evidence on how interventions modulate brain reorganization in promoting recovery. Strategies that promote adaptive neuroplasticity should be favored, especially with restorative efforts, and evidence supporting optimal techniques, timing, and dosing of rehabilitation should be considered in treatment planning.

Abstract
Introduction The aims of the study are to systematically assess and critically appraise the evidence concerning two surgical techniques to lengthen the bowel in children with short bowel syndrome (SBS), namely, the longitudinal intestinal lengthening and tailoring (LILT) and serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP), and to identify patient characteristics associated with a favorable outcome.
Materials and Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched from inception till December 2019. No language restriction was used.
Results In all, 2,390 articles were found, of which 40 were included, discussing 782 patients. The median age of the patients at the primary bowel lengthening procedure was 16 months (range: 1–84 months). Meta-analysis could not be performed due to the incomparability of the groups, due to heterogeneous definitions and outcome reporting. After STEP, 46% of patients weaned off parenteral nutrition (PN) versus 52% after LILT. Mortality was 7% for STEP and 26% for LILT. Patient characteristics predictive for success (weaning or survival) were discussed in nine studies showing differing results. Quality of reporting was considered poor to fair.
Conclusion LILT and STEP are both valuable treatment strategies used in the management of pediatric SBS. However, currently it is not possible to advise surgeons on accurate patient selection and to predict the result of either intervention. Homogenous, prospective, outcome reporting is necessary, for which an international network is needed.
Dens Invaginatus: A Report of Two Cases
Authors: Agnihotri Archna , Arora Rosy , Bida Lalit , Sharma Urvashi 
Published: March 2021

AbstractDens invaginatus (DI) is an anomaly of developmental origin arising due to disturbances during the morphodifferentiation stage, resulting from infolding of enamel organ toward the dental papilla. Different presentations of the invagination, altered canal morphology, and presence of constrictions and dilatations sometimes make its management really challenging. With the advent of modern diagnostic and treatment aids, their easy availability and routine use, it is now possible to have detailed view of the invagination, thus making the management easy and the outcome predictable. This article presents two different presentations of DI and their management.

Significance
Genetically modified animals are crucial for functional studies and translational biomedical research. However, the generation of genome-edited large animals is time consuming and inefficient. Here, we report the generation of transgenic pigs and chickens that ubiquitously express Cas9 nuclease. The functionality of Cas9 was demonstrated for different target genes, a variety of cell types, and in vivo for the heart and the developing brain. Genome editing can now easily be carried out in vivo in specific organs or tissues without the need to generate germline-modified animals. These Cas9 transgenic animals provide an innovative and efficient resource for in vivo genome editing in biomedical and agricultural sciences.
Stabilisation wedges: measuring progress towards transforming the global energy and land use systems
Authors: Johnson Nathan , Gross Robert , Staffell Iain 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Fifteen years ago, Pacala and Socolow argued that global carbon emissions could be stabilised by mid-century using a portfolio of existing mitigation strategies. We assess historic progress for each of their proposed mitigation strategies and convert this into the unit of ‘wedges’. We show that the world is on track to achieve 1.5 ± 0.9 wedges relative to seven required to stabilise emissions, or 14 required to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. Substantial progress has been made in some domains that are not widely recognised (improving vehicle efficiency and declining vehicle use); yet this is tempered by negligible or even negative progress in many others (particularly tropical tree cover loss in Asia and Africa). By representing global decarbonisation efforts using the conceptually simple unit of wedges, this study helps a broader audience to understand progress to date and engage with the need for much greater effort over the coming decades.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Taking Huqiu Wetland Park and Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park as the study objects, ArcGIS and Fragstats techniques were used to analyze the landscape pattern characteristics of the two parks in terms of patch type and landscape level. The results showed that the landscape types of both Huqiu Wetland Park and Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park were dominated by wetlands, accounting 37.7% and 82.24% of the total park area of the pars respectively. The aggregation index were 99.72 and 99.96 respectively, and the aggregation of wetland patches in Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park was higher. The percentages of grassland and built-up area were higher in Huqiu Wetland Park than in Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park, but plaque agglomeration was lower than that in Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park. In terms of landscape diversity, Huqiu Wetland Park's Shannon Diversity Index of 1.33 and Shannon Uniformity Index of 0.83 were both higher than Taihu Hubin National Wetland Park's 0.63 and 0.45, indicating that dominant landscape was not sufficiently prominent and that the patch. The differences in landscape patterns between the two wetland parks are related to their planning design, regional location, surrounding environment and human disturbance.

Authors: Zhang Nina , Miao Ling 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In order to explore the current status of in-use compliance of China V heavy-duty diesel vehicles in Shenzhen, five China V heavy-duty diesel vehicles were tested for NOX emissions using the LugDown cycle, and CO, NOX, and PM emissions were tested for these vehicles using the Portable Emissions Measurement System (PEMS).The test results showed that all 5 vehicles meet the NOX limit requirements of the LugDown test method, and 2 vehicles exceeded the limit requirements of the PEMS test method. For 3 vehicles below the PEMS test NOX limit, the difference in the average value of the two test methods was 14%-18%, and the median difference was 1%-63%; For the two vehicles that exceeded the PEMS test NOX limit, the average difference was 32%-63%, and the median difference was 81%-127%. For vehicles with higher NOX emissions, the LugDown test was not able to reflect the actual situation of real driving emission well. The particulate emission test results showed that the difference in the removal efficiency of different diesel particulate filter could reach more than 113 times, and the difference in the technology of cleaning in engine could reach more than 6 times. The study showed that the current status of compliance of in-use China V standard heavy-duty diesel vehicles was not optimistic.

Abstract
In order to improve the knowledge of the microplastic pollution in the sparsely populated area, a preliminary monitoring survey was carried out in the northwest of China. Microplastics were evaluated in 28 soils collected from 6 sites by the methods of density separation and identified by microscope and Flourier infrared spectrum instrument. Microplastics were detected in all sampling points but the abundances, morphologies and polymers varied in different sampling points due to the natural conditions and anthropogenic influences. And the size of the detected microplastics is larger in comparison with other study areas. But with time, the degraded microplastics still could threat the ecology and environment. This study is helpful to get the whole pictures of microplastics around the world.

Authors: Zhou Junjie , Ou Mingwu , Shi Jia , Li Ying 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Dongting Lake, located in the northeast of Hunan Province, is the second largest fresh water lake in China. Based on Landsat 8 OLI imagery in 2013 and 2016, the shoreline of East Dongting Lake in different periods was explained through processing of radiation correction, geometric correction and band combination, etc., and the temporal sequence variation characteristics of the lake shoreline were explored. The results show that there is no obvious variation in the shoreline around the lake, and the area of East Dongting Lake is stable of 1300km2. Typical shoreline monitoring in the lake area shows that recently there is a new enclosed area in the middle of the Luhu Reed Field. The enclosed area covers an area of 1.98km2, about 3,000 mu, and the top elevation of the enclosed area is between 30 and 32m. Moreover, East Dongting Lake is an internationally important wetland reserve and a significant regulating lake of the Yangtze River. The shoreline of East Dongting Lake is stable latterly, but the development of low enclosure and net enclosure in the lake area has not been prohibited for a long time. As far as the lake area management is concerned, we should pay more attention to supervision of illegal activities such as enclosing land in the lake area.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Using Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing images in November 2016, October 2017 and December 2017, relevant quantitative remote sensing statistical models were adopted under the ENVI software platform to invert and evaluate the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in East Dongting Lake, China. The results show that from 2016 to 2017, the maximum concentration of Chl-a was 28 mg/m3, with an average of 16 mg/m3. The water temperature is relatively high in summer, and the photosynthesis of algae is enhanced, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of algae. The concentration is relatively high in flood season, and the non-flood season is relatively low. In the northwest of East Dongting Lake, there is no free exchange of water with the shore, and the water in the lake has a relatively low purification capacity for pollutants; Chl-a concentration in this region is higher than that in other regions, while the water in the channel connecting South Dongting Lake has strong fluidity with low concentration. In the flood season of July 2017, the trophic state index (TSI) value of the west inshore side of the lake can reach 60-70, and there is a problem of water bloom. The TSI of non-flood season is 40-50. The degree of eutrophication has decreased recently, which should be related to the overall management of water environment.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Xiliugou Basin is one of the ten brooks that flow directly into the Yellow River, facing two key environmental problems: soil and water erosion and flood sediment disasters caused by storm runoff. In order to analyze the dynamic vegetation variation in Xiliugou Basin before and after Grain for Green Project (GGP), we used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data to extract the series characteristics of vegetation changes from 1998 to 2010. The spatio-temporal effects of the GGP on land cover and vegetation coverage (VC) was characterized using TM/ETM+ images of 1998, 2002, 2007 and 2010. The results show that from 1998 to 2010, total VC was increasing, and areas with poor vegetation conditions declined significantly. Higher VC was for the most part spatially distributed around the river, while lower VC was present in the desert, which would be expected to have low coverage. A high spatial distribution was found in the upper reaches, while in the lower reaches it was low. Comparing the four periods, the VC distribution had substantial variation, particularly in the upper reaches. This was driven by the higher VC in grassland, which demonstrates that GGP can effectively rehabilitate ecosystems.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Due to the large geometric size and the influence of dense embedded steel bars, It is difficult to use the traditional nondestructive testing (NDT) method for evaluation the inner defects of mass concrete. A comprehensive nondestructive testing method for internal defects of mass concrete was proposed, which used elastic wave Computed Tomography (CT) scanning for general survey, ultrasonic tomography and ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology for fine investigation. The method was applied to the defect detection of a bearing platform concrete belonging to an interchange bridge. Finally, the reliability of this method was verified by the results of core drilling. The results show that the proposed method can effectively detect the distribution of defects in concrete, provided a new solution and practical guidance for the internal defect detection and reinforcement of mass concrete structure.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
In order to study the out-of-plane stability of the large-span single space tube truss during lifting, the eigenvalue buckling mode of the truss was calculated by mode analysis in ANSYS, the eigenvalue buckling mode with different combination coefficients was applied to the truss, and the stability bearing capacity was taken as the measurement to conduct the whole process tracking analysis. Finally, the most appropriate eigenvalue buckling mode combination was found as the initial imperfection, and it was applied to a large-span single regular triangle space tube truss and inverted triangle space tube truss to verify its stability during hoisting, respectively. The results show that the combination form of the eigenvalue buckling mode is the most appropriate initial imperfection. When the large-span single regular triangle space tube truss and inverted triangle space tube truss are hoisted, local buckling occurs when the body force is up to 0.30 times and 0.15 times of gravity, respectively, and overall instability occurs when the body force is up to 0.56 times and 0.51 times of gravity, respectively. It can be obviously obtained that the large-span single space tube truss may be destabilized under its own weight during hoisting, local buckling has occurred in some member bars before overall instability, and it is necessary to check the truss stability before hoisting in actual engineering.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
The time-dependent deformation characteristics of mudstone are the keys to reveal the long-term deformation law, damage, failure mechanism of mudstone, and effective treatment of mudstone diseases. In this study, the influence of confining pressure on the deformation of Mudstone was studied through triaxial tests. Also, the effect of load classification on the aging deformation of red bed mudstone was studied by the creep test. The results indicated that: (1) the time effect on mudstone deformation was obvious; 1h to 10h was the acceleration deformation stage, 10h to 20h was the deceleration deformation stage, and 20h was the stable deformation stage; (2) the deformation characteristics of red bed mudstone were affected by confining pressure, and its peak strength and elastic modulus increased with the increase of confining pressure. There were upper limit value and lower limit value in amplitude variation; (3) in general, mudstone failure occurred when the total strain reached 0.01 to 0.015. The failure mode of mudstone was a shear failure when the graded load was large, and discrete failure when it was small. The main reason was that the rock mass was full of expansion and contraction when the graded load was small. Hence, micro-fractures were more likely to develop.
