Incineration as a Means of CO2 Reduction
Authors: Chin Aleong Ashley Renae , Jagai Rodney R. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Incineration is a method of waste management, which is quickly taking a prominent role in munic ipa l authorities all over the world. The introduction of smokeless incinerators aids in decreasing adverse environmental impacts, making this technology a viable alternative to landfills.
Modern designs and advancements in incineration processes focus on enhancements in energy efficiency and reductions in emissions of CO2, thus creating an avenue for sustainable energy. It is a means to combat organic substances in waste and separate dangerous gases and particulates from flue gas. Modern incinerators have efficient emission control systems that use multiple techniques for the elimination, at source, of potentially hazardous emissions and automatically control the rate of combustion. Smokeless combustion can be achieved through a combination of temperature, time and turbulence.
The range of test incinerators used for this study covers a broad spectrum of usage reduces munic ipa l solid waste to a mere 0.3% of its original state. Reductions in CO2 are directly correlated to decreases in the amount of waste to be transported to off-site landfills, thus reducing the number of trips to and from same. Such reductions are in tandem with the goal of carbon neutrality, or rather, carbon net-zero, which requires the sequestration of an equal amount of CO2 produced. Comparisons are provided for reductions of CO2 as a result of the reduction in the burning of diesel by backload refuse trucks. Case studies are presented for communities with a significant general waste generation where CO2 emission from the waste pickup and transport to and from landfills are compared to that of CO2 emissions after the installation of a smokeless incinerator unit in a central community area. The most significant finding is that CO2 emissions are reduced by approximately 50% in most cases, with the introduction of these units. The introduction of these smokeless incinerator units can combat waste management woes in a shorter space of time, in parallel with achieving environmental targets such as that of Carbon Neutrality.

Abstract
BackgroundThe striatum of the basal ganglia is the major subcortical component of the mammalian forebrain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have implicated surface deformation of the striatum in the brains of patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their correlation with behavioral phenotypes. MethodsUsing RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), we analyzed transcriptome alteration in striatal tissues from 10-week-old prenatally valproic acid (VPA)-exposed BALB/c male mice. To investigate the relationship of Nurr1 with synaptic and social deficit, we activated the expression level of nuclear receptor related 1 protein (Nurr1) by i.p. injection of amodiaquine (AQ) for 2 weeks. Furthermore, we employed lentiviral system to inhibit the Nurr1 expression and provide evidence for the role of Nurr1 in social behavior. ResultsTranscriptomic analysis showed higher levels of genes related to synaptic function of neurons in striatal tissues from the prenatally VPA-exposed mice. Among those genes, Nurr1 expression was significantly upregulated. The treatment with AQ, which has been known to be a ligand for Nurr1, to saline-exposed mice mimicked social deficits and synaptic abnormality observed in prenatally VPA-exposed mice. Moreover, viral inhibition of Nurr1 markedly improved social deficits in prenatally VPA-exposed mice. LimitationsThis study did not identify the mechanism of how Nurr1 activation regulates striatum-related circuit. Identification of the mechanism will provide explanation for behavioral impairments in prenatally VPA-exposed mice.ConclusionsTaken together, these results suggest that the increase in Nurr1 expression in the striatum is a mechanism related to the changes in synaptic deficits and behavioral phenotypes of VPA-induced ASD mouse model.

Abstract
Landslides have posed a huge threat to the ecological environment and human society all over the world. As the most conventional reinforcement method, anti-slide piles are widely used in the reinforcement of slopes. Currently, more and more attentions have been paid to the low-cost and high-efficiency optimal design of anti-slide piles. However, limitations in the method of the optimization design for slope reinforced with piles still exist. In this paper, a new multi-objective comprehensive optimization method was proposed for the optimization of the slope reinforced with anti-slide piles. The factor of safety, internal force and deflection of piles were selected as the optimization indexes and the optimization index weight was determined by integrating the subjective and objective weight. The influence of the pile location, pile length and pile spacing on the reinforcement effect was analyzed by the numerical simulation. Through the simulation case analysis, the proposed model had achieved good effects on the optimization design of anti-slide piles, which could effectively reduce the engineering costs. The optimization results showed that the best reinforcement effect for the homogeneous slope could be obtained when the anti-slide piles with the critical pile length and small pile spacing was located in the middle of the slope. This provides a new solution for the optimization design of other types of complex slopes, and has broad application prospects.

Abstract
Background

The COVID-19 public health crisis has produced an immense and quickly evolving body of evidence. This research speed and volume, along with variability in quality, could overwhelm public health decision-makers striving to make timely decisions based on the best available evidence. In response to this challenge, the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools developed a Rapid Evidence Service, building on internationally accepted rapid review methodologies, to address priority COVID-19 public health questions.
Methods

Each week, we receive requests from public health decision-makers and frame the prioritized topics into searchable questions. We develop and conduct a comprehensive search strategy and critically appraise all relevant evidence using validated tools. We synthesize the findings into a final report that includes key messages, with a rating of the certainty of the evidence using GRADE, as well as an overview of evidence and remaining knowledge gaps. Rapid reviews are typically completed and disseminated within two weeks.
Results

As of May 12, 2021, we have answered more than 29 distinct questions and completed 28 updates as new evidence emerged. Reviews receive an average of 200 downloads per week, with some reaching up to 5000. To date reviews have been accessed and cited around the world, and a more fulsome evaluation of impact on decision making is planned.
Conclusions

The development, evolution, and lessons learned from our process, presented here, provides a real-world example of how review-level evidence can be made available – rapidly and rigorously, and in response to decision-makers’ needs – during an unprecedented public health crisis.
Landscape -scale habitat associations in an urban Stock Dove Columba oenas population
Authors: Richardson James Elliot , Lees Alexander , Marsden Stuart 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
While some species are known to thrive in urban areas, urban expansion is a major driver of biodiversity loss. Columbids such as feral Rock Doves Columba livia domestica and Common Woodpigeon Columba palumbus have adapted extremely well to the urban environment in Europe and beyond, but the Stock Dove Columba oenas, a bird of farmland and woodland edge in the UK and of national conservation concern, is encountered far more rarely in urban areas. Here we explore the multi-scale landscape associations of the little-studied Stock Dove within the urban matrix of Greater Manchester, UK, as a step towards identifying its long-term conservation needs. We built a pilot model from historical citizen science records to identify potentially occupied patches within the city, and then surveyed these patches for Stock Dove during Spring 2019. We combined the survey results with citizen science records from the same period. We described the habitat and landscape characteristics of these patches using four variables at different scales and twelve unscaled variables. We used a three-stage random forest approach to identify a subset of these variables for interpretation and a subset for prediction for the presence of Stock Dove within these patches. Key variables for predicting Stock Dove presence were their relative abundance in the region immediately beyond the core urban area, the greenness (NDVI) of the environment around patches, and the canopy cover of individual trees over 20m high within patches. Stock Doves tended to be associated with habitats with more surface water during the non-breeding season than the breeding season. Our results highlight the importance of large trees within urban greenspace and the importance of softer boundaries around urban patches for Stock Doves. While Stock Dove share many traits with species that are successful in the urban environment, they remain relatively poor urban adapters.

Abstract
Accurate prediction tools to facilitate risk stratification and therapeutic strategies for breast cancer patients with bone metastasis (BCBM) are lacking. We constructed and validated a new nomogram prognostic model, named NCC-BCBM, for breast cancer patients with bone metastasis using a large BCBM cohort from the SEER database. Clinical information for 8655 patients diagnosed from 2011 to 2013 was collected to develop the model. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were evaluated by concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve. The model was further validated in an independent cohort of 4634 BCBM patient. The following clinical variables were enrolled in the final prognostic model: age, race, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, laterality, grade, molecular subtype, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC T) stage, AJCC N stage and extra metastatic sites except bone. The C-index for the developed model in training cohort was 0.702 (95% CI, 0.696 to 0.709). The calibration curve for probability of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival showed good agreement between prediction by nomogram and direct observation. C-index that validated in an independent cohort was 0.748 (95% CI, 0.737 to 0.759). We developed and validated a nomogram prognostic model for BCBM patients and it resulted in good performance.

Abstract
Background: Pneumonia is the fifth most common cause of death among the Japanese, with 97% of deaths occurring among elderly people aged 65 years or older. The incidence ratio of aspiration pneumonia is high for elderly people. Therefore, prophylaxis is important in geriatric medicine. In our previous studies, we reported that stimulation to the acupoints at ST36 and KI3 of the lower limbs with press needle improved the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia. The improvement of swallowing function may prevent aspiration pneumonia. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective efficacy of using press needle stimulation in the lower limbs for aspiration pneumonia.Methods/design: This is a multi-center, randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial. A total of 140 patients with cerebrovascular disorder with a history of aspiration pneumonia will be recruited from six centers and randomly assigned to either the real press needle group or the sham press needle group in a 1:1 ratio. The press needle will be replaced twice a week. Treatment will be administered bilaterally at acupoints ST36 and KI3. The primary outcome is the frequency of onset of aspiration pneumonia. The secondary outcome is improvement of the latent time of swallowing reflex (LTSR). The investigation period is of 12-month. The primary outcome will be evaluated throughout the period, and secondary outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 1st month, 6th month, and at the end of the investigation period.Discussion: This study will evaluate the effects of press needle on prevention of aspiration pneumonia and improvement of swallowing function of patients. The results of this study will help support the prophylaxis of aspiration pneumonia.Trial registration: UMIN000023123, registered on July 12th, 2016; https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000026460

Published: June 2021

Abstract
We studied the survival of four elite strains of Bradyrhizobium in liquid inoculants with three formulations with EPS extracted from other rhizobia genera, and their symbiotic efficiency, with soybean and cowpea, in a greenhouse. For this purpose, we verified the utility of formulations for maintaining the cell viability of strains by counting the colony forming units (CFU) per milliliter of the liquid inoculants with formulations over 90 days. Survival of the soybean inoculant strains, 29W and CPAC15, in the PEPS formulation had the largest number of CFU (> 1010 mL− 1) after 90 days. For the cowpea inoculant strains, INPA3-1B and UFLA3-84, the formulations REPS1 had the largest number of CFU (> 1010 mL− 1) after 90 days. Symbiotic efficiency in soybean of the formulations PEPS and REPS2 was higher than that shown by the commercial inoculant. For cowpea, the three formulations with EPS showed symbiotic efficiency bigger than that of the commercial inoculant.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Background: Lung cancer (LC) is currently the leading cause of cancer death globally. LC accounts for a high mortality and incidence rate of cancer in both men and women. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy, though effective for some patients, have strong side effects and most of them only have palliative effect. Though many studies reported the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment on LC, the lack of methodological quality in clinical trials resulted in heterogeneous reporting of outcomes, making it difficult to compare and combine in different trials, limiting the validity of meta-analysis and reducing the value of clinical studies. A core outcome set (COS) could reduce outcome reporting bias and heterogeneity across studies of LC using TCM-related interventions. The aim of this study is to develop a standardized COS for LC in TCM clinical trials (COS-TCM-LC) to improve the methodological quality of TCM clinical studies to serve as a guidance in healthcare decision making for LC.Methods: The study has been developed according to the Core Outcome Set-STAandards for Development standards for the design of a COS study. The study process consisted 4 stages as follows: (1) Identifying a list of potential outcomes through systematic reviews of TCM RCTs and 2 clinical registry databases, qualitative surveys on patients and healthcare professionals to form an outcome pool and finally establishing a preliminary checklist of outcomes. (2) Selection of stakeholder groups. (3) Representatives of stakeholder groups will be invited to participate in a two-round Delphi survey. (4) A face-to-face consensus meeting will be held to determine the final COS-TCM-LC.Discussion: In this study protocol, we have followed the guidelines of COS-STAndardized Protocol (STAP) statement and checked the items in COS-STAndards for Developement (STAD). Developing a COS-TCM-LC will improve the quality of future RCTs on LC with the TCM interventions and promote better evidence-based clinical decision-making.Trial registration: This study is registered with the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials database as study 1483 (http://www.comet-initiative.org/studies/details/1483).
