BackgroundThe measures taken to contain the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, such as the lockdown in Italy, do impact psychological health; yet, less is known about their effect on cognitive functioning. The transactional theory of stress predicts reciprocal influences between perceived stress and cognitive performance. However, the effects of a period of stress due to social isolation on spatial cognition and exploration have been little examined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible effects and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on spatial cognition tasks, particularly those concerning spatial exploration, and the physiological leftward bias known as pseudoneglect. A right-hemisphere asymmetry for spatial attention processes crucially contributes to pseudoneglect. Other evidence indicates a predominantly right-hemisphere activity in stressful situations. We also analyzed the effects of lockdown on coping strategies, which typically show an opposite pattern of hemispheric asymmetry, favoring the left hemisphere. If so, then pseudoneglect should increase during the lockdown and be negatively correlated with the efficacy of coping strategies.MethodsOne week before the start of the lockdown due to COVID-19 in Italy (T1), we had collected data from a battery of behavioral tests including tasks of peri-personal spatial cognition. During the quarantine period, from late April to early May 2020 (T2), we repeated the testing sessions with a subgroup of the same participants (47 right-handed students, mean age = 20, SD = 1.33). At both testing sessions, participants performed digitized neuropsychological tests, including a Cancellation task, Radial Arm Maze task, and Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices. Participants also completed a newly developed COVID-19 Student Stress Scale, based on transactional models of stress, and the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced—New Italian Version (COPE-NIV) to assess coping orientation.ResultsThe tendency to start cancelation from a left-sided item, to explore first a left-sided arm of the maze, and to choose erroneous response items on the left side of the page on Raven’s matrices increased from T1 to T2. The degree of pseudoneglect increment positively correlated with perceived stress and negatively correlated with Positive Attitude and Problem-Solving COPE-NIV subscales.ConclusionLockdown-related stress may have contributed to increase leftward bias during quarantine through a greater activation of the right hemisphere. On the other hand, pseudoneglect was decreased for better coping participants, perhaps as a consequence of a more balanced hemispheric activity in these individuals.

Purpose: To investigate the training characteristics of world-class long-distance cross-country skiers.Methods: Twelve world-class male long-distance cross-country skiing specialists reported training from their best season, through a questionnaire and follow-up interviews. Training data were systemized by training form (endurance, strength, and speed), intensity [low- (LIT), moderate- (MIT), and high-intensity training (HIT)], and exercise mode, followed by a division into different periodization phases. Specific sessions utilized in the various periodization phases were also analyzed.Results: The annual training volume was 861 ± 90 h, consisting of 795 ± 88 h (92%) of endurance training, 53 ± 17 h (6%) of strength training, and 13 ± 14 h (2%) of speed training. A pyramidal (asymptotic) endurance training distribution was employed (i.e., 88.7% LIT, 6.4% MIT, and 4.8% HIT). Out of this, 50–60% of the endurance training was performed with double poling (DP), typically in the form of a daily 3- to 5-h session. A relatively evenly distributed week-to-week periodization of training load was commonly used in the general preparation period, whereas skiers varied between high-load training weeks and competition weeks, with half the training volume and a reduced amount of DP during the competition period.Conclusions: To match the specific demands of long-distance cross-country skiing, specialized long-distance skiers perform relatively long but few training sessions and use a pyramidal intensity distribution pattern and a large amount of training spent using the DP technique.

Background: Allylnitrile is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables and has the same lethality and toxic effects as the other nitriles. In 2013, a viable allylnitrile ototoxicity mouse model was established. The toxicity of allylnitrile was limited through inhibition of CYP2E1 with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (TDCE). The allylnitrile intoxication model has been extensively tested in the 129S1 mouse strain for vestibular function, which showed significant HC loss in the vestibular organ accompanied by severe behavioral abnormalities. However, the effect of allylnitrile on auditory function remains to be evaluated. Commonly used anesthetics to conduct hearing measurements are isoflurane and ketamine/xylazine anesthesia but the effect of these anesthetics on hearing assessment is still unknown. In this study we will evaluate the otovestibular effects of oral allylnitrile administration in mice. In addition, we will compare the influence of isoflurane and ketamine/xylazine anesthesia on hearing thresholds.Methods and Materials: Fourteen Coch+/– CBACa mice were randomly allocated into an allylnitrile (n = 8) and a control group (n = 6). Baseline measurements were done with isoflurane and 1 week later under ketamine/xylazine anesthesia. After baseline audiovestibular measurements, mice were co-administered with a single dose of allylnitrile and, to reduce systemic toxicity, three intraperitoneal injections of TDCE were given. Hearing loss was evaluated by recordings of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE). Specific behavioral test batteries for vestibular function were used to assess alterations in vestibular function.Results: Hearing thresholds were significantly elevated when using isoflurane anesthesia compared to ketamine/xylazine anesthesia for all frequencies of the ABR and the mid-to-high frequencies in DPOAE. Allylnitrile-treated mice lacked detectable ABR thresholds at each frequency tested, while DPOAE thresholds were significantly elevated in the low-frequency region of the cochlea and completely lacking in the mid-to high frequency region. Vestibular function was not affected by allylnitrile administration.Conclusion: Isoflurane anesthesia has a negative confounding effect on the measurement of hearing thresholds in mice. A single oral dose of allylnitrile induced hearing loss but did not significantly alter vestibular function in mice. This is the first study to show that administration of allylnitrile can cause a complete loss of hearing function in mice.
A Unique Model to Estimate Geometric Deviations in Drilling and Milling Due to Two Uncertainty Sources
Authors: Polini Wilma , Corrado Andrea 
Published: February 2021

Industry 4.0 involves the use of information and communication technologies to transform industry by intelligent networking machines and processes. The availability of big data sets from manufacturing and inspection allow for developing new and more accurate simulation models. This involves the development of new machining simulation models to consider the geometrical deviations of the workpiece due to the machine tool, the part datum surfaces and the fixturing equipment. This work presents a model that kinematically correlates the locator uncertainty, the form deviation on the part datum surface in contact with the locators and the volumetric uncertainty of the machine tool, with the geometric deviations of a surface due to a drilling or milling process. An analytical model was developed in a Matlab® file to simulate the surface geometrical deviations from nominal during drilling or milling. It is new as regards the state of the art because it takes into account two sources of uncertainty. This numerical approach allows for avoiding experimental tests, with a resultant saving of time, energy and material. It was applied to drilling, face milling and contouring processes. It was proved that machine tool volumetric uncertainty influences the form deviation of the machined surface, while the locator configuration and the datum form deviation affect the orientation of the machined surface, as should be in reality. The proposed model allows us to take into account geometrical deviations of the part datum surfaces of 0.001 mm, location deviations in the locators of ± 0.03 mm and machine tool positional and rotational uncertainties of 0.01 mm and σd=0.01∗π180 mm, respectively.

EFFECT OF DIETARY IRON IN PRESENCE OF SULPHUR ON SOME LIVER MINERAL CONCENTRATIONS AND PERFORMANCE OF GROWING LAMBS
Authors: Sefdeen S. M. 
Published: February 2021

The effect of two levels of dietary iron (Fe) in presence of three levels of sulphur (S) on Cu status and performance of growing lambs was examined using 37 weaned Texel-cross over the period of 12 weeks. The basal diet (L:L) contained no Fe or S supplement; H:M diet supplemented with 800 mg Fe/kg DM and 1.5 g S/kg DM, and H:H diet was supplemented with 800 mg Fe/kg DM and 3.5 g S/kg DM. The concentrate diet was based on dried grass nuts and barely designed for lambs to grow at the rate of 200 g d-1. The results revealed that dietary treatments had no effects on DMI, DWG, final weight, total weight gain, and FCE of lambs. The lambs fed L:L diet trended (P=0.057) to have a higher plasma Cu concentrations (12.11 µmol l-1) than those fed H:M (10.78 µmol l-1) or H:H (10.38 µmol/l) diets at week 12. Dietary treatments had no effect on hepatic Cu, Mn, Mo, and Zn concentration at week 12. However, the lambs fed H:M or H:H had higher hepatic Fe (P=0.05) concentrations than those fed L:L diet. In conclusion, supplemental Fe and S had no effects on lamb performance, but decreased plasma Cu concentrations and increased plasma Mo concentrations of growing lambs. Supplemental Fe and S reduced hepatic Cu concentration of lambs compared with those fed no Fe and S supplements but the difference lacked significance.
