Decomposition analysis of water utilization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region between 2003 and 2016
Authors: Wang Hongrui , Hong Siyang , Cheng Tao , Wang Xiayue 
Published: June 2018

AbstractWater crisis is prominent in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, therefore, the internal relations between water utilization changes and socioeconomic development must be urgently analysed. Based on analyses of the spatiotemporal characteristics of total water utilization, the factors that influenced changes in industrial water utilization in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2003 to 2016 were studied using a factor decomposition model. The results show that the scaling effect (SCE) increased water utilization by 31.78 billion m3 over those 13 years and was the only driving effect that caused industrial water utilization to increase. The structural effect (STE) and technological effect (TEE) reduced industrial water utilization by 14.93 and 20.44 billion m3, respectively. The TEE was the main reason for the decrease in industrial water utilization in Beijing, accounting for a reduction of 96.5% in total industrial water utilization. The STE was stronger than TEE in Tianjin, with associated decreases of 94.65% and 90.1% in total industrial water utilization, respectively. In Hebei, the STE and TEE reduced total industrial water utilization by 60.23% and 85.46%, respectively. Adjusting the industrial structure and promoting water-saving technology are efficient methods of alleviating the water shortage in the study area.

Herbarium specimens hold a wealth of data about plants; where they come from, where they were collected and by whom. Once digitized, these data can be searched, mapped and compared. However, the information on specimens is often handwritten and even the best software systems cannot read it. This is where we get real value from citizen involvement. Digitizing these data is only possible with the aid of human intelligence.
DoeDat is a multilingual open-source platform for transcription, based upon the DigiVol program of the Australian Museum and Atlas of Living Australia. DoeDat is a product of our digitization project Digital Access to Cultural Heritage Collections (DOE!), funded by the Flemish Government. DoeDat is about creating data and also, ‘Doe Dat’ means ‘do that’ in Dutch.
DoeDat will help us digitize our collections, and will also give the public the chance to take an active part in the process. We aim to build a community of enthusiastic online volunteers who will help us liberate botanical data from specimen labels and documents. We launched the platform on Science Day and within two months, more than one hundred volunteers had transcribed more than 4,000 specimens.

Tumblr as counterpublic space for fan mobilization
Authors: Chew Natalie 
Published: June 2018

When the animated TV shows Young Justice (2010–) and Green Lantern: The Animated Series (2011–13) were canceled, fans of the shows campaigned together to have both shows renewed. I refer to this campaign as #saveYJandGLTAS, a hashtag frequently used on internet posts related to the campaign. This case study investigates how Tumblr served as a counterpublic space for this movement, while other social media platforms served as the more public face of this campaign. Through my analysis, I draw conclusions about how fandoms operate and the changes occurring as a result in the relationships between the media industry, creators, and consumers.
Magnetic depression and electron transport in an ion-scale flux rope associated with Kelvin–Helmholtz waves

Published: June 2018

Abstract. We report an ion-scale magnetic flux rope (the size of the flux rope is ∼ 8.5 ion inertial
lengths) at the trailing edge of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) waves observed by the Magnetospheric
Multiscale (MMS) mission on 27 September 2016, which is likely generated by
multiple X-line reconnection. The currents of this flux rope are highly
filamentary: in the central flux rope, the current flows are mainly parallel
to the magnetic field, supporting a local magnetic field increase at about
7 nT, while at the edges the current filaments are predominantly along the
antiparallel direction, which induce an opposing field that causes a
significant magnetic depression along the axis direction
(> 20 nT), meaning the overall magnetic field of this flux
rope is depressed compared to the ambient magnetic field. Thus, this flux
rope, accompanied by the plasma thermal pressure enhancement in the center,
is referred to as a crater type. Intense lower hybrid drift waves (LHDWs) are
found at the magnetospheric edge of the flux rope, and the wave potential is
estimated to be ∼ 17 % of the electron temperature. Though LHDWs
may be stabilized by the mechanism of electron resonance broadening, these
waves could still effectively enable diffusive electron transports in the
cross-field direction, corresponding to a local density dip. This indicates
LHDWs could play important roles in the evolution of crater flux ropes. Keywords. Magnetospheric physics (magnetopause, cusp, and boundary layers; solar wind–magnetosphere interactions)
Dumping the Pump: Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Community Activism and Eco-Politics in the Age of Reagan
Authors: Friedman Gail 
Published: June 2018

ABSTRACT
Environmental activists in 1980s Bucks County, Pennsylvania, waged a nearly decade-long battle against a plan to pump water from the free-flowing Delaware River. The activists ultimately lost their fight to stop construction of a pumping station, but in the process, galvanized environmental awareness in the region. This article, as a case study of grassroots community activism during the presidential administration of Ronald Reagan, a struggle known locally as “Dump the Pump” and spearheaded by a nonprofit organization called Del-AWARE, provides a regional take on recent scholarship illuminating the vibrant underlying dynamics of local civic engagement occurring amid the overshadowing political conservatism of the Reagan years. In addition, as a case study in public history, it explores how collective historical memory fueled not only Del-AWARE's protracted struggle, but its enduring legacy in public policy and community life.
Old English wills
Authors: Moessner Lilo 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Following Bhatia’s model of the ‘language of the law’, this paper treats wills and statutes as representatives of the genre ‘written formal legislative legal documents’. In an overview of the publications on Present-day English (PDE) legal writing, I point out that only statutes have been analyzed with corpus-linguistic methods (Section 1). Quantitative data about Old English (OE) legal genres do not exist; OE wills have been investigated only from a sociohistorical point of view (Section 2). This research situation requires a new approach to the study of OE wills, which is quantitative-qualitative and corpus-based. The corpus consists of 23 wills, amounting to 10,330 words (Section 3). Its analysis is presented in two parts. In the first part, a new model of the text structure of OE wills is proposed; its constituents are described and illustrated by examples. In the second part, the linguistic features sentence length, sentence structure in terms of the number of clauses per sentence and of the type and position of subordinate clauses in complex sentences, pronominal reference to the testator, and the categories of tense, mood, modality, and voice of the verbal syntagm are analyzed. The quantitative results are compared to the corresponding figures of PDE statutes. This comparison yields two sets of linguistic properties; one set is genre-specific, the other is period-specific (Section 4). In Section 5, the results of the paper are summarized, and a future research agenda is derived from them.
English word clipping in a diachronic perspective
Authors: Minkova Donka 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Shortening processes are increasingly productive in Present-day English (PDE), generating 9–15% of the new words in the language. They are therefore a valuable source of information on the interaction of production, perception, prosodic well-formedness, morphological patterning, and sociolinguistic and pragmatic aspects of word-formation. One type of shortening, word clipping, is considered unpredictable by some scholars (Durkin 2009: 116; Don 2014: 27), while others (Plag 2003; Lappe 2007; Berg 2011) find non-random patterns in the outcome of clippings in PDE. The diachronic records of clipping have not been addressed systematically in the literature. Data collected from the online OED show that clipping in early English is restricted to fore-clipping, which peaked between 1300–1600 and then decreased quite sharply. Back-clipping was practically unattested until the end of Middle English, whereupon it rapidly became the dominant model, making fore-clipping a marginal pattern for common words. The association between prefixation and lack of stress during the period of widespread fore-clipping, and the stability of the left edge of the word in back-clippings after the 15th century require reference to both the surplus location and composition, and the residue structure. An account in terms of onset, stress, Morphological identity, and align-l shows how the relative importance of these constraints changes in tandem with independently established changes in the history of English.

Published: June 2018

Abstract

Purpose/Background
The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist improves cognition during nicotine withdrawal and improves abstinence rates. To do so, the effect of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, encenicline, on cognition and abstinence was evaluated when given as monotherapy and when combined with transdermal nicotine patch (nicotine replacement therapy [NRT]).

Methods
Adult daily smokers, n = 160, who were motivated to quit smoking completed cognitive testing at satiated baseline and after overnight abstinence and then were randomized to receive a 12-week trial of encenicline 1 mg twice daily or identical placebo the day of the overnight abstinent cognitive testing. In the first 6 weeks of the 12-week encenicline administration, participants were also randomized to 6 weeks of NRT patch or placebo patch. Primary outcomes were cognition during abstinence and 7-day point-prevalence abstinence at week 12.

Results
No beneficial effects of encenicline were observed on cognition or abstinence when compared with placebo or when combined with NRT compared with placebo capsule + NRT. Of the 4 conditions, abstinence rates were lowest among those assigned to encenicline alone.

Conclusions
Beneficial effects of NRT were observed on cognitive and abstinence outcomes when combined with encenicline compared with encenicline plus placebo patch. Addition of NRT to encenicline improved odds of abstinence approximately 3-fold compared with encenicline plus placebo patch. We conclude that encenicline, 1 mg/d, did not improve abstinence-associated cognitive impairment or abstinence rates as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy to NRT patch.

Authors: Sun Daniel Q. , Sullivan C. Blake , Kung Raymond W. , Asklof Megan , Hansen Marlan R. , Gantz Bruce J. 
Published: June 2018

Objective:
To evaluate the association between signal changes during intraoperative audiologic monitoring and postoperative audiometric outcome in patients undergoing vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection via middle cranial fossa (MCF) approach.

Study Design:
Retrospective chart review.

Setting:
Academic tertiary referral center.

Patients:
One hundred twenty-six consecutive patients (mean age 48.6 yrs, range 16–67; mean tumor size 9.9 mm, range 1.8–18.9 mm) who underwent MCF VS resection.

Interventions:
Intraoperative audiologic monitoring using auditory brainstem response (ABR) and direct cochlear nerve action potential (CNAP).

Main Outcome Measures:
Intraoperative ABR wave V and CNAP N1 amplitudes and postoperative pure-tone average (PTA) and word recognition score (WRS).

Results:
On ABR, absent wave V amplitude was associated with an 81.1% increase and 82.3% decrease in postoperative PTA and WRS, respectively. On CNAP, decreased or absent N1 amplitude was associated with 47.3 and 100% increase, respectively, in postoperative PTA, and 45.3% and 100% decrease, respectively, in postoperative WRS. Receiver-operating curve analysis showed that ABR combined with CNAP using a Cueva electrode achieved the highest diagnostic accuracy in predicting postoperative hearing decline when measured by WRS class (sensitivity 83.3%, specificity 100%), and performed better compared with each modality alone.

Conclusion:
Intraoperative ABR wave V and CNAP amplitude changes are associated with changes in postoperative hearing, and dual modality monitoring was more diagnostic of postoperative hearing decline compared with each modality alone during MCF VS resection. Overall, intraoperative ABR and CNAP were more specific than sensitive for postoperative hearing decline.
Ocular and Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Patients With Vestibular Migraine
Authors: Makowiec Kathryn F. , Piker Erin G. , Jacobson Gary P. , Ramadan Nabih M. , Roberts Richard A. 
Published: June 2018

Objective:
To evaluate the relationship between normal and abnormal ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) in patients with and without vestibular migraine (VM).

Study Design:
Retrospective review of oVEMP and cVEMP results in patients with vestibular disorders who were assessed clinically and completed vestibular function studies. Data were extracted from a deidentified RedCap Repository.

Setting:
Tertiary care multispecialty medical center.

Patients:
Subjects were 212 consecutive adults meeting prespecified inclusion criteria who were evaluated in the Balance Disorders Clinic at Vanderbilt University Medical Center between 2011 and 2017. Patients with bilaterally absent VEMPs were excluded from the study.

Intervention(s):
None.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
Proportions of subjects with or without VM in one of the following four test outcomes: normal cVEMP/normal oVEMP, abnormal cVEMP/abnormal oVEMP, abnormal cVEMP/normal oVEMP, and normal cVEMP/abnormal oVEMP.

Results:
There was a significant relationship between VM and cVEMP and oVEMP test outcomes.

Conclusion:
Patients with VM are more likely than subjects with vestibular disorders other than migraine to exhibit normal cVEMP responses in the presence of unilaterally abnormal oVEMP responses. Such a VEMP pattern may be a biomarker of VM and further supports a possible pathophysiologic relationship between the utriculo-ocular reflex and VM.
DGEN: A Test Statistic for Detection of General Introgression Scenarios
Authors: Leo Elworth Ryan A. , Allen Chabrielle , Benedict Travis , Dulworth Peter , Nakhleh Luay 
Published: June 2018

AbstractWhen two species hybridize, one outcome is the integration of genetic material from one species into the genome of the other, a process known as introgression. Detecting introgression in genomic data is a very important question in evolutionary biology. However, given that hybridization occurs between closely related species, a compli-cating factor for introgression detection is the presence of incomplete lineage sorting, or ILS. TheD-statistic, famously referred to as the “ABBA-BABA” test, was pro-posed for introgression detection in the presence of ILS in data sets that consist of four genomes. More recently,DFOIL—a set of statistics—was introduced to extend theD-statistic to data sets of five genomes.The major contribution of this paper is demonstrating that the invariants underly-ing both theD-statistic andDFOILcan be derived automatically from the probability mass functions of gene tree topologies under the null species tree model and alterna-tive phylogenetic network model. Computational requirements aside, this automatic derivation provides a way to generalize these statistics to data sets of any size and with any scenarios of introgression. We demonstrate the accuracy of the general statistic, which we callDGEN, on simulated data sets with varying rates of introgression, and apply it to an empirical data set of mosquito genomes.We have implementedDGENand made it available, both as a graphical user interface tool and as a command-line tool, as part of the freely available, open-source software package ALPHA (https://github.com/chilleo/ALPHA).

Preliminary steady and transient analysis for the CFETR helium cooled solid blanket system with RELAP
Authors: Wang S. , Shen Ch. , Ye M. , Chen H. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
The helium cooled solid breeder (HCSB) blanket, which is one of the blanket candidates for Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), has been developed in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). And the blanket cooling system (HCS) is also designed for HCSB. The steady-state results show that the blanket system has a good relevance to the design parameters. The transient analysis of possible accidents should proceed to evaluate its safety performance. The accident analysis in this paper adopts the ITER-like conditions and the ex-vessel loss of coolant accident (LOCA) case is investigated with RELAP5 code. The results show that the ex-vessel LOCA with detection couldn't cause serious consequence, however the ex-vessel LOCA without detection has potential to melt the blanket that we should take measures to avoid it.
The Influence of Blood Corpuscles on Clot Firmness: Thrombelastographic Observations

Published: June 2018

SummaryRed and white corpuscles cause a reduction in maximal amplitude values of thrombelastographic tracings. This is due to an inhibition of clot firmness. In this work the quantitative relation between maximal amplitude reduction and cell volume was proved experimentally. It was also investigated how blood cells cause the observed modifications in t.e.graphic tracings.
Athrombia Thrombocytopathica
Authors: Inceman Seref , Uçar Sami , Ulutin Orhan Nuri 
Published: June 2018

SummaryThe authors reported a primary congenital thrombocytopathy in a case of erythroblastosis foetalis born with a hemorrhagic diathesis. The case was followed from the day of birth through the 2nd year. The boy presented the picture of Willebrand-Jürgens type thrombopathy (primary thrombocytopathy) with some characteristics of this disease. The agglomeration and adhesivity of the platelets were defective. These were corrected in physiological salt solution and polyvinyl pyrolidon. Although the platelets contained the thromboplastic factor, it was not given into the media under normal conditions. The biochemical and morphological osmotic resistance revealed increased platelet resistance in hypotonic salt solutions. The increased resistance and the delay in the platelet disintegration were also observed in the study of the viscous metamorphosis by the phase contrast microscope. Consequently, in this case there was a platelet stability. The authors discussed the characteristics of this case and compared some of their findings with similar cases in the literature.
