Added value of cardiac deformation imaging in differential diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy
Authors: Loncaric Filip , Bijnens Bart , Stiges Marta 
Published: October 2018

[first paragraph of article]Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is clinically defined by the presence of increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness that is not solely explained by abnormal loading conditions. The aetiology is diverse, but in 60% of patients the disease is an autosomal dominant trait caused by cardiac sarcomere protein gene mutation (HCM). In 10% of cases, the cause is inherited metabolic and neuromuscular disease, chromosomic abnormalities and genetic syndromes, whereas, in the remaining 30% of patients the aetiology remains unknown.
Risk stratification in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Norrish Gabrielle , Kaski Juan Pablo 
Published: October 2018

[first paragraph of article]The true prevalence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in childhood is unknown, but population-based studies have reported an annual incidence between 0.24–0.47 per 100,000 children. The aetiology of disease is more heterogeneous than that seen in adult populations, with up to 30% of patients having an inborn error of metabolism, malformation syndrome or neuromuscular syndrome. However, as in adults, most cases are caused by mutations in the cardiac sarcomere protein genes, even in young children. The long-term outcome of childhood HCM is highly variable and has been shown to depend partly on the age of presentation and underlying aetiology. Outside of infancy, the most frequent cause of mortality is sudden cardiac death (SCD), and one of the greatest challenges in managing young patients with HCM is identifying those at greatest risk of an arrhythmic event.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with little hypertrophy and severe arrhythmia
Authors: Ripoll-Vera Tomas , Alvarez-Rubio Jorge 
Published: October 2018

[first paragraph of article]Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited autosomal-dominant disease with a heterogeneous clinical presentation and natural history, and is a frequent cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people. It is associated with mutations in genes coding for sarcomere proteins. In the literature, debate surrounds the genotype-phenotype correlation of individual mutations concerning establishing a prognosis according to the mutation present, which could help stratify the disease and allow appropriate genetic counselling to families.
Automated detection of fault types in CCTV sewer surveys
Authors: Myrans Joshua , Everson Richard , Kapelan Zoran 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Sewers must be regularly inspected to prioritise effective maintenance, which can be an expensive and time-consuming process. This paper presents a methodology to automatically identify the type of a detected fault using raw closed circuit television (CCTV) footage. The procedure calculates the GIST descriptor of a video frame containing a fault before applying a collection of random forest classifiers to identify the fault's type. Order oblivious filtering is used to further improve the methodology's performance on continuous footage. The technology, including various classifier architectures, has been validated and demonstrated on CCTV footage collected by Wessex Water. The methodology achieved a peak accuracy of 73% when applied to well-represented fault types, showing promise for future application in the water industry.
Assessment of the climate change risks for inflow into Sagami Dam reservoir using a hydrological model
Authors: Momiyama Sho , Sagehashi Masaki , Akiba Michihiro 
Published: October 2018

AbstractAdverse effects of future climate change on water supply systems are of concern. High turbidity caused by abrupt flood, and drought caused by continuous dry days are the major risks. To assess such risks, a comprehensive method to simulate hydrology with high spatiotemporal resolution should be developed. In this study, a series of methods from parameter estimation to future simulation using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was demonstrated for Sagami Dam reservoir, which is a typical water supply reservoir in Japan. A proposed parameter calibration method by optimizing percent bias followed by optimizing Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency gave good performance of model prediction of the daily average reservoir inflow in the past. Using this model, the changes in inflow under expected climate change were simulated. Three predicted daily climates by the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate version 5 (MIROC5) under three representative concentration pathways, i.e., RCP 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5, in 2081–2100 were used for the simulation, whereas observed daily climate during 1981–2000 was used as the past reference. The risks were discussed by considering their seasonality, indicating increases in flood and drought in June and July, and in February and April, respectively.
Modeling quaternary ammonium compound inhibition of biological nutrient removal activated sludge
Authors: Conidi Daniela , Andalib Mehran , Andres Christopher , Bye Christopher , Umble Art , Dold Peter 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are surface-active organic compounds common in industrial cleaner formulations widely used in various sanitation applications. While acting as effective pathogenic biocides, QACs lack selective toxicity and often have poor target specificity. As a result, adverse effects on biological processes and thus the performance of biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems may be encountered when QACs enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Because of these impacts, there is motivation to screen wastewater influents for QACs and for process engineers to consider the inhibition effects of QACs on process evaluation and design of BNR plants. This paper introduces a mathematical model to describe the fate of QACs in a WWTP via biodegradation and bio-adsorption, and the inhibitory effect of QACs on nitrifiers and ordinary heterotrophic organisms. The model was incorporated as an add-on model in BioWin 5.3 and simulations of experimental systems were used for comparison of model results to measured data reported in the literature. The model was found to accurately predict the bulk phase concentration of QAC and the inhibition of nitrification with QAC concentrations ≥2 mg/L. This work provides a preliminary framework for simulation of BNR plants receiving inhibitory substances in the influent.
Evaluation of fine organic mixtures for treatment of acid mine drainage in sulfidogenic reactors
Authors: Pérez N. , Schwarz A. , de Bruijn J. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The performance of passive biochemical reactors in acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment could be enhanced by using fine organic substrates in new reactor designs, such as diffusive exchange reactors. This work evaluated the effect of fine cellulosic components in organic mixtures and of enrichment with inoculum, on sulfate and metals removal in discontinuous cultures for three types of synthetic AMD. The cellulosic substrates evaluated were sawdust, microcrystalline cellulose, and forestry cellulose fibers, supplemented with cow manure and leaf compost. Using microcrystalline cellulose and forestry cellulose fibers with the less concentrated AMD, high sulfate reduction rates (73 mg/L-d and 58.2 mg/L-d, respectively) were achieved. Correspondingly, iron concentrations were reduced by 69% and 86.6%. Based on their higher sulfate reducing capacity, cellulose fibers obtained as fiber boards from a local kraft pulp mill were selected for treating a synthetic AMD with a high copper concentration (273 mg/L) and pH 4.94. In batch culture, low sulfate reducing activity (13.10 mg/L-d) was only observed at the highest substrate/AMD ratio (0.5:10) tested. Results show that the use of forestry cellulose fibers in reactive mixtures supplemented with inoculum could be an alternative for optimization of diffusive exchange reactors for AMD treatment.
Diphenyl Diselenide – catalyzed Reductive Coupling of Nitroarenes to Aromatic Azo and Azoxy Compounds with Sodium Borohydride in Alkaline Ethanol
Authors: Belattar Nadjah , Benayache Samir , Benayache Fadila 
Published: October 2018

Aim and Objective: A simple catalytic method has been developed to achieve the reduction of nitroarenes
with NaBH4 using diphenyl diselenide catalyst in order to obtain the azoxyarene, azoarene products
under mild conditions.

Materials and Methods:
The reduction of different substituted nitroarenes was realized in alkaline ethanolic
solution using mild sodium borohydride in the presence of diphenyl diselenide as an electron-transfer catalyst.
The reactions were performed sometimes at room temperature and sometimes at refluxing conditions.

Results:
Diphenyl diselenide which is reduced to sodium phenylselenolate, presenting an electron transfer
agent successfully permitted to reduce several nitroarenes, bearing different substituent groups whose electronic
effects promote the formation of the azoxy or azo compounds.

Conclusion:
Treatment of nitroarenes with sodium borohydride in alkaline ethanol in the presence of catalytic
amounts of diphenyl diselenide at room temperature leads to obtain the corresponding azoxy compounds in
good yields by reaction with sodium phenylselenolate generated in situ. At higher temperature, further reduction
to azo compounds occurs. Therefore, the results have indicated that the electronic effects of substituent
groups rigorously take part in determination of their reduction efficiencies.

Bienestar Subjetivo de Niños/as y Adolescentes: revisión integradora
Authors: Fernandes Ferreira Lima Rebeca , Araujo de Morais Normanda 
Published: October 2018

Este estudio realizó una revisión integradora de la producción científica (nacional e internacional) sobre el bienestar subjetivo (BS) de los niños/as y adolescentes en el período 2005 a 2016. Con PubMed, PsycINFO, SciELO, PEPSIC, LILACS e IndexPsi se identificaron 43 estudios después de la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión/exclusión. La mayoría de los estudios fueron internacionales (empírico, transversal, cuantitativo, correlacional) en estudiantes adolescentes. Se encontró un número creciente de publicaciones centradas en aspectos positivos, que indican la relación entre BS y variables abordadas en la Psicología Positiva, con énfasis en el afrontamiento, optimismo, gratitud y curiosidad. Sin embargo, la necesidad de diferenciar entre BS y constructos relacionados se hace cada vez más necesaria. Además, hay una brecha en cuanto a estudios con población no normativa y niños. Por último, cabe destacar que una ciencia que tiene como objetivo estudiar el desarrollo positivo y promoción del bienestar debe prestar atención a la diversidad de contextos y etapas del ciclo de vida.
