Abstract
Davis, JK, Freese, EC, Wolfe, AS, Basham, SA, and Stein, KMW. Evaluation of omega-3 status in professional basketball players. J Strength Cond Res 35(7): 1794–1799, 2021—Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) has been shown to promote muscle remodeling, improve immune status, decrease muscle soreness, and help maintain explosive power. Research that has assessed omega-3 blood concentrations with athletes has primarily focused on the college athlete. However, limited work has been conducted with the professional athlete. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the omega-3 PUFA blood concentrations, dietary, and supplement intake of professional basketball players. Blood collection occurred during preseason medical screenings and analyzed for eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, the omega-3 Index (O3i), and various fatty acids using dried blood spot sampling. The mean O3i of 119 professional basketball players was 5.02 + 1.19% (range, 2.84–9.76%). Dietary intake of players showed that 31% of players reported consuming no fish in their diet per week, with 61% of players reported consuming less than 2 servings of fish per week. Only 12 of the 119 players reported supplementing with omega-3 PUFA, which varied widely for dosage and frequency of supplementation. A moderate correlation was shown for O3i and dietary fish consumption per week (r = 0.58; p < 0.01) and fish consumption per month (r = 0.57; p < 0.01). A large number of players reported consuming less than the recommend amount of dietary fish per week and very few players reported supplementing with omega-3 PUFA. The low intake of omega-3 PUFA likely contributed, in part, to the majority of players having an O3i of less than 8%.

Abstract
Clothing is one of the fundamental requirements for living. The fabric business is a steadily developing industry because the interest in dress will never diminish. To support the development of the clothing industry, the clothing industry needs to take rigid measures to keep up the quality of the pieces of fabric they produce. The industry needs a worker to screen the quality of the fabric using a manual fabric review framework. The goal of this article is to plan a profound deep learning algorithm to recognize the fabric types using computer vision. This article focuses on identification of fabric defects using convolutional neural network with the use of appropriate pooling layer, softmax layer, and rectified linear activation layer to acquire an undeniable degree of precision. The photographs of garments with various fabric defects like fabric broken pick defect, fabric with pattern, soiled fabric, fabric weft yarn defect, and plain fabric are considered for evaluation of the architecture. The performance of the architecture is measured with various performance measures like sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The algorithm produces the highest accuracy of 97.5 and 100 % for the training and testing samples, respectively, for soiled fabric type.
Long noncoding RNA FAM225B facilitates proliferation and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by regulating miR-613/CCND2 axis

Published: June 2021

Growing evidence has suggested that abnormally expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) pathogenesis. Family with sequence similarity 225 member B (FAM225B) is a novel lncRNA that has been implicated in several human cancers, yet its role in the context of NPC remains largely unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the expression level of FAM225B and its clinical significance in NPC patients. We observed a remarkable increase of FAM225B in NPC tissues and cell lines compared with controls. Also, highly expressed FAM225B was closely correlated with advanced TNM stage, distant metastasis, and poor overall survival. Interestingly, loss-of-function analysis revealed that FAM225B knockdown significantly inhibited tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, and decreased the migratory and invasive capacity of NPC cells. Mechanically, FAM225B functioned as an endogenous sponge by competing for miR-613 binding to up-regulate CCND2 expression. More importantly, rescue experiments further demonstrated that the suppressive impacts of FAM225B knockdown on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were significantly reversed after CCND2 overexpression. Taken all together, these findings highlight FAM225B as an oncogene that promotes NPC proliferation and metastasis through miR-613/CCND2 axis.

Background: Copper supplementation in ruminants deserves special attention because of the narrow margin between deficiency and toxicity. The aim of the study was to analyse the relationship between the Cu concentration and other blood parameter values having taken into consideration their physiological limits based on the variation of copper concentration in the three different sheep breeds. Methods: Sixty sheep (35±5 kg) kept on the same farm were studied: the Suffolk (n = 20), the Merino (n = 20) and the Lithuanian blackhead (n = 20). The sheep were selected according to the following parameters: 3.5±0.3 years old, not pregnant during the entire investigation period, clinically healthy. All sheep were kept under the same conditions and throughout the year, were fed at the same time the same ration balanced according to their physiological needs. Individual blood samples were collected on the same day, on monthly basis for the period of one year (April 2018 to May 2019). Blood biochemical parameters as well blood haematology and cortisol concentration were analysed. Result: The highest average value of copper concentration was found in the Merino breed. The study has shown that the lowest number of blood samples with the levels of copper meeting the physiological limit values was found in the native Lithuanian blackhead sheep at the end of the grazing period and in the Merino and the Suffolk breeds - during the coldest winter months. The increase in copper concentration could be related to the stress caused due to the changes in dietary conditions, the variations of ambient temperature and different breed response to these factors.
Can sedation be used for equine lameness investigation?
Authors: Termansen Helene , Meehan Lucinda 
Published: June 2021

PICO question
In horses undergoing lameness investigation, does sedation with a2-adrenergic agonists alone versus sedation with a2-adrenergic agonists in combination with butorphanol tartrate effect the degree of lameness?

Clinical bottom line
Category of research question
Diagnosis
The number and type of study designs reviewed
Six papers were critically reviewed. There were two crossover clinical studies, three crossover controlled clinical studies and a randomised controlled clinical study
Strength of evidence
Moderate
Outcomes reported
There was limited evidence to suggest that xylazine and romifidine in combination with butorphanol has an effect on forelimb lameness and that detomidine has an effect on hindlimb lameness.
Most evidence suggests that xylazine alone or in combination with butorphanol has no effect on the lameness
Conclusion
In general, sedating a horse with an a2-adrenergic agonist alone or in combination with butorphanol tartrate does not change the baseline degree of lameness. Due to the large variation in the measurements, the small magnitude of few significant effects and the inconsistency of these significant findings, there is insufficient evidence to recommend avoiding the use of sedation in cases where it would increase the safety of those involved. However, regardless of protocol used, clinicians must appreciate the possibility of individual horse variation

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

Published: June 2021

O acelerado crescimento populacional e urbano nas últimas décadas intensificou a necessidade de pesquisas sobre o ecossistema urbano e os serviços por ele oferecidos, visando ao bem-estar da população urbana por meio da conservação da natureza. O reconhecimento dos serviços ecossistêmicos fornecidos pelos Espaços Verdes Urbanos (EVUs) pode subsidiar a tomada de decisão para que as cidades promovam o desenvolvimento sustentável, conservando e/ou restaurando os serviços ecossistêmicos e a biodiversidade, para que a vida das pessoas nas cidades seja viável diante dos desafios impostos pelas mudanças climáticas. Este artigo tem por objetivo principal avaliar como os serviços ecossistêmicos fornecidos pelos EVUs estão sendo abordados no meio científico. Realizou-se um levantamento cienciométrico e, posteriormente, uma análise bibliográfica dos principais artigos para avaliar o conhecimento científico atual, as principais limitações teóricas e as lacunas e oportunidades para avanços no conhecimento sobre o tema. Os resultados apontam que as pesquisas dos serviços ecossistêmicos em EVUs foram intensificadas a partir de 2005 e apresentaram uma taxa exponencial de crescimento de 30% ao ano, particularmente nos países mais desenvolvidos. A análise bibliográfica aponta que os serviços ecossistêmicos reguladores e culturais no contexto urbano são aqueles de maior importância, e que são necessárias novas metodologias para avaliar e eventualmente precificar esses serviços.
Depositional system and lake-stage control on microbialite morphology, Green River Formation, eastern Uinta Basin, Colorado and Utah, U.S.A.
Authors: Eljalafi Abdulah , Sarg J. Frederick 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACTLake-margin lacustrine carbonates of the Green River Formation, in the eastern Uinta basin of Colorado and Utah, occur interbedded with fluvial and shoreline-parallel sandstone and shale. Microbial bindstones were deposited in a saline-alkaline lake during and after the Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO) (52–50 million years ago) that is characterized by global hot-house conditions, elevated atmospheric CO2, and highly fluctuating climate conditions. The stratigraphic architecture, chemostratigraphy, and morphology of the microbialites and other associated carbonate beds can be related to these climatic conditions. Three facies associations are recognized in the carbonate units across the lake margin from upper littoral to lower sublittoral environments: facies association 1, delta proximal non-microbial carbonates, characterized by quartzose bioclastic, peloidal, intraclastic packstones and grainstones–rudstones, quartose peloid wackestones and sandy oil shale; facies association 2, microbialite associated non-microbial carbonates, composed of ostracod, ooilitic, peloidal packstones–grainstones and intraclastic packstones, grainstones and rudstones; and facies association 3, microbial carbonates, consisting of diverse forms of stromatolitic and thrombolitic lithofacies.Multiple scales of carbonate cyclicity are suggested by shifts of δ18O and δ13C stable isotopes and deepening-upward microbialite facies. High-frequency cycles, on the order of 1 to 5 m thickness, are characterized by positive shifts in stable isotopes and interpreted deepening trends from littoral to lower sublittoral conditions. Large-scale trends, on the order of tens to hundreds of meters thickness record long-term lake changes, including: 1) sparse microbialite deposition during initial fresh conditions in lake stage 1, with low macro-structure diversity and light δ18O and δ13C isotope values; 2) transitional lake stage 2 corresponding to moderate macro-structural diversity, large meter-scale biostromal and biohermal buildups, and a positive shift in δ18O and δ13C isotope values that suggest increasing saline and alkaline conditions; 3) a highly fluctuating lake stage 3 that contains the highest microbialite macro-structural diversity and marks the interval of heaviest δ18O and δ13C isotope values, suggesting the greatest lake restriction, and the highest salinity and alkalinity conditions; and 4) a rising lake stage 4 that marks the lowest microbialite macro-structure diversity and a reversal in trend of δ18O and δ13C isotope values, that indicate deepening and freshening conditions.
Soil enzyme activity as affected by land-use, salinity, and groundwater fluctuations in wetland soils of the prairie pothole region

Published: June 2021

Abstract
Land-use change and climatic variability are significant drivers for the loss of ecosystem services and soil quality in the prairie pothole region (PPR) wetland systems. Land-use induced changes in groundwater table and salinity may influence biogeochemical processes facilitated by extracellular enzymes (EEs) involved in soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. The effects of changing groundwater table and salinity on β-glucosidase (BG), N-acetyl glucosaminidase (NAG), and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities were assessed in wetland soils collected from three different adjacent riparian land-use practices in the PPR. In a microcosm study conducted over ten weeks, soils were treated with groundwater salinity (control, 6 mS cm− 1, and 12 mS cm− 1) and declining groundwater table depths. Extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) differed significantly (p < 0.05) among soils from different land-uses and between groundwater table depths. The impact of groundwater salinity on soil EEAs were non-significant (p > 0.05). Soil EEAs were significantly higher in soils from pasture, suggesting that the land-use effects resulted from background SOC and TN. Soil EEAs significantly (p < 0.05) reduced under a deeper groundwater table depth, except reverse for BG in site B, indicated that the lowered groundwater table could lead to transitory drought stress for SOM decomposers.

Abstract

Background
In December 2018, an outbreak of an unknown disease was reported to affect different animal species largely high number of small ruminant from Tumbio village in Korem town of southern Tigray. This study investigated the clinical characteristics, frequency (place, time, sex, age, physiological states), and primary causal agent(s) of outbreak.
Results
A total of 1966 cases occurred between 28 November and 21 December 2018, of which 1880 died, making a case fatality rate of 95.6%. The cases presented with inappetance (n = 953), thirsty (n = 833), pale mucous membrane (n = 676), bottle jaw (n = 424), swollen tail (n = 398), ascites (n = 309), suddenly died (n = 324), and diarrhea (n = 205). The responsible source of exposure was Minchae Bahri (pasture land). Excluding young suckling sheep which did not start grazing all groups of sheep were at risk. Even if, mixed parasitic infections were observed all samples processed parasitological were positive for immature liver flukes. Based on microbiologically finding Clostridium was isolated from 41(82%) samples. The necropsy and histopathology findings showed that liver is the most injured organ. The immediate interventions were not effective in controlling the outbreak.
Conclusions
Clinical presentation, immature liver flukes in all processed samples, high level of isolated Clostridium, necropsy and histopathology findings adducts among the cases support the causal role of acute fascioliasis complicated with Clostridium species. Community level awareness, integrated control measure and building diagnostic capacity of district level animal health experts and clinicians is needed.

Abstract
Background

Considering the weakening of the economy and the shrinking of jobs under the current global epidemic crisis, the employment of college graduates is facing unprecedented and cruel competition. However, many college students lack a reasonable understanding and orientation of themselves, which led to them have high expectations for future careers and do not consider whether they are competent or not. Due to a lack of ability and self-confidence, they appear to be at a loss and hesitant when facing career choices.
Methods

We takes 400 college students in China and conducts a questionnaire survey on college students' perfectionism, career adaptability, and career decision-making difficulties to explore the relationship among them.
Results

College students' perfectionism, career adaptability, and career decision-making difficulties are significantly correlated. Positive perfectionism has a negative predictive effect on career decision-making difficulties, and career adaptability plays a completely mediating role in it. Negative perfectionism plays a positive predictive role in career decision-making difficulties, and career adaptability plays a part in mediating roles.
Conclusions

College students will more or less pursue "perfect", but often with their own preferences to pursue, can not be done based on the rational analysis of things to pursue perfect. College students have higher positive perfectionism and negative perfectionism, and their career adaptability is also at a higher level, but there is a higher degree of career decision-making difficulties. Positive perfectionism of college students can reduce the difficulty of career decision-making, and career adaptability plays a completely mediating role in it. Negative perfectionism of college students will lead to difficulties in career decision-making, in which career adaptability plays a mediating role
Efficient Adaptive Sampling Methods Based on Deviation Analysis of Piecewise Cubic Spline Interpolation

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The on-machine inspection technique requires a certain manufacturing time, so it is important for a sampling approach to achieve high precision for a fixed number of inspection points. This study designs an efficient adaptive sampling method for the non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces based on deviation analysis. For the free-form curves, it is an iterative method that is used to remove points that are less significant to the reconstruction error from the dense points on the curve. That is, the points are ranked by their maximum deviation from the theoretical curves. Different from the existing methods, a closed-form is derived to approximate the maximum deviation by analyzing the curve reconstruction method, i.e., piecewise cubic spline interpolation. The proposed method is compared with recent curve sampling methods, and the comparison results have shown that, under the same number of inspection points, the reconstruction error of the proposed method is reduced by 82%. The proposed curve sampling algorithm is then further extended to surface sampling, where the global characteristics of a surface are extracted as a series of curves on the surface. Thus, surface sampling is simplified to curve sampling in two directions. The proposed surface sampling strategy is compared with classic surface sampling methods using three representative surfaces. The results show that by using the proposed surface sampling strategy, the reconstruction error is reduced significantly. By applying our sampling method to the on-machine inspection system, the inspection accuracy can be greatly improved.
