Abstract
We report our plasma rate coefficient and branching ratio measurements for dissociative recombination (DR) of

with electrons. The studies were performed in a merged-beams configuration using the TSR heavy-ion storage ring located at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany. Starting with our absolute merged-beams recombination rate coefficient at a collision energy of ≈0 eV, we have extracted the cross section and produced a plasma rate coefficient for a translational temperature of ≈8 K. Furthermore, extrapolating our cross-section results using the typical low-energy DR behavior, we have generated a plasma rate coefficient for translational temperatures from 5 to 500 K. We find good agreement between our extrapolated results and previous experimental DR studies on

. Here we report on the dissociation geometry of the three-body fragmentation channel, the kinetic energy released for each of the three outgoing channels, the molecular internal excitation for the two outgoing channels that produce molecular fragments, and the fragmentation branching ratios for all three channels. Our results, in combination with those of other groups, indicate that any remaining uncertainties in the DR rate coefficient for

appear unlikely to explain the observed discrepancies between the inferred abundances of HCl and

Published: August 2018

Abstract
Many spiral galaxies have extended outer H i disks and display low levels of star formation, inferred from the far-ultraviolet emission detected by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), well beyond the optical radius. Here, we investigate the supernova (SN) rate in the outskirts of galaxies, using the largest and most homogeneous set of nearby supernovae (SNe) from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS). While SN rates have been measured with respect to various galaxy properties, such as stellar mass and metallicity, their relative frequency in the outskirts versus the inner regions has not yet been studied. Understanding the SN rate as a function of intragalactic environment has many ramifications, including the interpretation of LIGO observations, the formation of massive stars, and the puzzlingly high velocity dispersion of the outer H i disk. Using data from the LOSS survey, we find that the rate beyond the optical radius of spiral galaxies is 2.5 ± 0.5 SNe per millennium, while dwarf galaxies host 4.0 ± 2.2 SNe per millennium. The rates of core-collapse SNe (that may collapse to form the massive black holes detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)/Virgo) in the outer disks of spirals is 1.5 ± 0.15 SNe per millennium and in dwarf galaxies is 2.6 ± 1.5 SNe per millennium. Core-collapse SNe in spiral outskirts contribute 7600 ± 1700 SNe Gpc−3 yr−1 to the volumetric rate, and dwarf galaxies have a rate of 31,000 ± 18,000 SNe Gpc−3 yr−1. The relative ratio of core-collapse to SNe Ia is comparable in the inner and outer parts of spirals, and in dwarf galaxies.
Cutting Edge: Proper Orientation of CTCF Sites in Cer Is Required for Normal Jκ-Distal and Jκ-Proximal Vκ Gene Usage
Authors: Kleiman Eden , Xu Jeffrey , Feeney Ann J. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Igκ locus contraction and Vκ gene usage are controlled by Cer, a cis-acting sequence in the Vκ–Jκ intervening region. This effect is attributed to two CTCF-binding sites within Cer that are oriented toward the Vκ gene region. However, the importance of Cer CTCF orientation in regulating VκJκ rearrangement is unknown. We used CRISPR/Cas9 editing to delete and invert Cer in murine Abl pro–B cell lines. This revealed that Cer orientation is critical because clones with either an inverted or deleted Cer element show skewing toward Jκ-proximal Vκ gene usage. However, only Cer deletion increased Jκ-proximal Vκ germline transcription, suggesting an insulating function of Cer. Lastly, circularized chromosome conformation capture interaction data show that Cer CTCF orientation regulates long-range interactions with inversion clones displaying fewer interactions with regions in the middle and distal parts of the Vκ locus and more interactions to downstream regions compared with wild-type or deletion clones.
A new framework for probabilistic seasonal forecasts based on circulation type classifications and driven by an ensemble global model

Published: August 2018

Abstract. In the last years coupled atmospheric ocean climate
models have remarkably improved medium range seasonal forecasts, especially
on middle latitude areas such as Europe and the Mediterranean basin. In this
study a new framework for medium range seasonal forecasts is proposed. It is
based on circulation types extracted from long range global ensemble models
and it aims at two goals: (i) an easier use of the information contained in
the complex system of atmospheric circulations, through their reduction to a
limited number of circulation types and (ii) the computation of high spatial
resolution probabilistic forecasts for temperature and precipitation. The
proposed framework could be also useful to lead predictions of
weather-derived parameters, such as the risk of heavy rainfall, drought or
heat waves, with important impacts on agriculture, water management and
severe weather risk assessment. Operatively, starting from the ensemble
predictions of mean sea level pressure and geopotential height at 500 hPa of
the NCEP – CFSv2 long range forecasts, the third-quantiles probabilistic
maps of 2 m temperature and precipitation are computed through a Bayesian
approach by using E-OBS 0.25∘ gridded datasets. Two different
classification schemes with nine classes were used: (i) Principal Component
Transversal (PCT9), computed on mean sea level pressure and (ii) Simulated
Annealing Clustering (SAN9), computed on geopotential height at 500 hPa.
Both were chosen for their best fit concerning the ground-level
precipitation and temperature stratification for the Italian peninsula.
Following this approach an operative chain based on a very flexible and
exportable method was implemented, applicable wherever spatially and
temporally consistent datasets of weather observations are available. In this paper the model operative chain, some output examples and a first
attempt of qualitative verification are shown. In particular three case
studies (June 2003, February 2012 and July 2014) were examined, assuming
that the ensemble seasonal model correctly predicts the circulation type
occurrences. At least on this base, the framework here proposed has shown
promising performance.

Abstract. This paper presents the first results of an age-of-air (AoA) inter-comparison of six global transport models. Following a protocol, three global circulation models and three chemistry transport models simulated five tracers with boundary conditions that grow linearly in time. This allows for an evaluation of the AoA and transport times associated with inter-hemispheric transport, vertical mixing in the troposphere, transport to and in the stratosphere, and transport of air masses between land and ocean. Since AoA is not a directly measurable quantity in the atmosphere, simulations of 222Rn and SF6 were also performed. We focus this first analysis on averages over the period 2000–2010, taken from longer simulations covering the period 1988–2014. We find that two models, NIES and TOMCAT, show substantially slower vertical mixing in the troposphere compared to other models (LMDZ, TM5, EMAC, and ACTM). However, while the TOMCAT model, as used here, has slow transport between the hemispheres and between the atmosphere over land and ocean, the NIES model shows efficient horizontal mixing and a smaller latitudinal gradient in SF6 compared to the other models and observations. We find consistent differences between models concerning vertical mixing of the troposphere, expressed as AoA differences and modelled 222Rn gradients between 950 and 500 hPa. All models agree, however, on an interesting asymmetry in inter-hemispheric mixing, with faster transport from the Northern Hemisphere surface to the Southern Hemisphere than vice versa. This is attributed to a rectifier effect caused by a stronger seasonal cycle in boundary layer venting over Northern Hemispheric land masses, and possibly to a related asymmetric position of the intertropical convergence zone. The calculated AoA in the mid–upper stratosphere varies considerably among the models (4–7 years). Finally, we find that the inter-model differences are generally larger than differences in AoA that result from using the same model with a different resolution or convective parameterisation. Taken together, the AoA model inter-comparison provides a useful addition to traditional approaches to evaluate transport timescales. Results highlight that inter-model differences associated with resolved transport (advection, reanalysis data, nudging) and parameterised transport (convection, boundary layer mixing) are still large and require further analysis. For this purpose, all model output and analysis software are available.
Feasibility and Effectiveness of Telehealth Occupational Therapy Home Modification Interventions
Authors: Renda Marnie , Lape Jennifer E. 
Published: August 2018

Despite the effectiveness of occupational therapy home modification interventions, persons with disabilities may not receive them due to service delivery costs, limited number of therapists, and expansive geographic service areas. The need for occupational therapy home modification interventions will increase with the rising U.S. aging population, incidence of chronic illness, and shift toward community-based care. This study examined the feasibility of telehealth occupational therapy home modification interventions using participant owned smart phones, tablets, or computers. A pretest posttest design (n=4) demonstrated improvement in home safety and perception of performance of daily activities. Participants reported satisfaction with the mode of intervention citing ease of use and reduction in client and caregiver burden. Two key implementation challenges were (1) inconsistent quality of synchronous audio and video and (2) limited funding for home modification interventions. A large-scale telehealth occupational therapy home modification interventions pilot study is warranted.

CREATING A COMMEMORATIVE SPACE AT A CEMETERY LOCATED ON A JESUIT SUGAR PLANTATION IN FRENCH GUIANA
Authors: Auger Réginald 
Published: August 2018

Este artigo reflete sobre o processo de criação e desenvolvimento de um espaço comemorativo dentro de um sitio arqueológico: a plantação Loyola na Guiana francesa. Nós criamos este espaço para o reconhecimento dos escravos que viveram e morreram na plantação, para demostrar compaixão com os descendentes de escravos, bem como para provocar uma discussão sobre a história do período colonial. A memoria da escravidão é um assunto sensível para dos residentes da região, cuja maioria é descendente de escravos. A partir de vinte anos de pesquisa na plantation Loyola e seu cemitério, apresentamos aqui várias questões que encontramos no processo de apropriação do espirito do lugar pela população local.A plantação está localizada à 10 km de Cayenne, capital da Guiana francesa. Durante o domínio jesuíta, a plantação media mais de 1000 hectares, e chegou a ter cerca de 500 escravos trabalhando na produção de açúcar, café, índigo, e rum, entre outros produtos, supervisionados por alguns missionários. Depois de ter descoberto sepulturas no cemitério, onde aproximadamente 1000 escravos descendentes de Africanos, povos indígenas, colonos, e missionários foram enterrados, decidimos criar um espaço memorial para comemorar os escravos que viveram e foram enterrados na plantação. Inspirando-se numa ilustração dos anos 1730, erigimos uma cruz do Calvário no centro do cemitério, no âmbito de criar discussões relevantes com a população local. Esta ação teve como efeito de produzir uma resposta imediata da população local, e o cemitério tornou-se um ponto central para a discussão. Curiosamente, nossa intenção provocou uma reação visceral dos agentes locais do governo francês.

Authors: Mantikayan Jonathan , Abdulgani Montadzah 
Published: August 2018

Publication is the most visible sign of an active researcher. It is central to a research career and academic advancement. Also, the institution gains prestige and the researcher gains a notable reputation and career rewards. The study summarized the findings from a systematic investigation into existing literature and views regarding the factors that affect faculty research productivity, to discuss themes and components of such work, and to propose a conceptual framework. A systematic analysis of existing literature was used to address the problems. It is found that faculty research productivity is influenced by individual factors (self-efficacy, affiliation, motivation, commitment, orientation, basic and advance research skills, sense of achievements, contributing to society, sense of responsibility, scholarly pursuit, autonomy and flexibility, satisfying interest and curiosity), institutional factors (have fewer course preparations, staff support, advising and mentoring, resources, rewards, sufficient work time, culture, research emphasis, tenure and promotion, financial rewards, satisfying performance standards, peer and social recognition), leadership factors (highly regarded able scholar, research oriented, work for departments with a similar priority placed on research). Ascriptive factors refer to gender, an age of a faculty member at a given point in time, intelligence, a personality of the individual. The paper has implications for higher education institution administrators regarding managing faculty members' research performance.

Published: August 2018

The contribution of the DOST-PCARRD AFNR Project 2.3 from SY 2009-2011 has demonstrated transformed changes in the AFNR curriculum. These changes are well recognized as it has attracted more enrollees in the region's dwindling AFNR courses. The study presented the implementation of the AFNR Project 2.3 in Zamboanga Peninsula as an intervention to the observed down trend enrolment in the AFNR courses since SY 2001 onwards. The AFNR Project 2.3 was implemented for the duration of two years from SY Feb 2009-Feb 2011. The project at the regional level enabled students' preparation for employability, equipped them with entrepreneurial skills, with the integration of strong S & T contents in the courses through the modular approach. The Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) played the lead institution in the region with three collaborating SUCs, namely, JH Cerilles State College (JHCSC), Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology (ZSCMST), and the two campuses of Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU). Towards the end of its implementation for the second year, the project achieved the following gains based on its objectives: (a) Enriched 10 BS curricular programs (b) reviewed 81 AFNR subjects (c)enriched at least 70 courses in the 10 BS AFNR Programs and (d) introduced 30 short term courses respectively.

Published: August 2018

ObjectiveTo examine independent and combined effects of pain with concurrent insomnia and depression symptoms on the use of health care services in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsPatients were Group Health Cooperative (GHC) patients with a primary diagnosis of OA (n = 2,976). We used survey data on pain (Graded Chronic Pain Scale), insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), and depression (Patient Health Questionnaire‐8), and health care use extracted from GHC electronic health records (office visits, length of stay, outpatient and inpatient costs, and hip or knee replacement) for 3 years after the survey. Negative binomial, logistic, and generalized linear models were used to assess predictors of health care use.ResultsApproximately 34% and 29% of patients displayed at least subclinical insomnia and at least subclinical depression symptoms, respectively, in addition to moderate‐to‐severe pain. Pain had the greatest independent effects on increasing all types of health care use, followed by depression (moderate effects) on increased office visits, length of stay, outpatient and inpatient costs, and insomnia (mild effects) on decreased length of stay. No synergistic effects of the 3 symptoms on use of health care services were observed. The combined effects of pain plus insomnia and pain plus depression were significant for all types of health care use and increased greatly with increasing severity of insomnia and depression, except for hip/knee replacement.ConclusionPain is the main driver for health care use in patients with OA. In addition to pain, insomnia plus depression jointly increased diverse types of health care use, and these combined effects increased greatly with increasing severity of insomnia and depression. These findings indicate the important role that concurrent symptomatic conditions may play in increasing use of health care services.
