AbstractMorphonotactics determines phonological conditions on sound sequences produced by morphological operations both with morphemes and across boundaries. This paper examines the historical emergence and the development of morphonotactic consonant clusters in Germanic, Slavic, Baltic, Romance and other languages. It examines the role of the following morphological preference parameters: (i) morphotactic transparency/opacity, (ii) morphosemantic transparency/opacity, (iii) morphological richness. We identify several diachronic processes involved in cluster emergence, production and change: vowel loss, Indo-European ablaut (and comparable Arabic processes), affixation, compounding, metathesis, final and consonant epenthesis. Additionally, we discuss predictions derived from the Net Auditory Distance principle, psycholinguistic evidence and language acquisition. We show that the majority of morphonotactic clusters arise, phonologically, from vowel loss, and morphologically from concatenation.

Abstract
Monaghan, DJ and Cochrane, DJ. Can backward sled towing potentiate sprint performance? J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 345–354, 2020—The objectives of this study were to determine whether backward sled towing can elicit a postactivation potentiation response to enhance forward 5-m sprint performance and to determine whether sled loading through a reduction in velocity can elicit an improvement in 5-m sprint performance. A randomized design was used to examine the effects of forward and backward sled tow loading of 35 and 55% reduction of individual's maximal velocity (rVelmean) on 5-m sprint performance. Eighteen well-trained male subjects performed 4 intervention sessions (55% rVelmean backward; 55% rVelmean forward; 35% rVelmean backward; and 35% rVelmean forward) separated by a minimum of 24 hours. Intervention sessions included baseline unresisted 5-m sprints, followed by 3 loaded sled tows over a distance of 3.2 m or 5 m for heavy and light loads, respectively. An unresisted 5-m sprint was completed after 6 and 12 minutes of rest. Mean sprint velocity, electromyography, sprint kinematic, and temporal data were collected during each session. Sled towing, irrespective of load or rest period, produced no significant change in 5-m sprint velocity (p > 0.05). In addition, there were no significant changes in electromyography, kinetic, and temporal data; however, current findings support previous research of confirming muscle activation and vertical force production during sprint acceleration. It is unclear whether individualizing a reduction in velocity is a superior method to percent body mass for optimizing sled loading in well-trained male subjects.
Full-Match Approach to Determine the Coefficient of Vertical Consolidation from Incremental Loading Consolidation Tests
Authors: Chung S. G. , Park T. R. , Kweon H. J. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study presents a novel method for determining the coefficient of vertical consolidation (cv) by combining the complete range of theoretical and experimental consolidation behaviors. The Taylor model, which nearly precisely simulated the theoretical solution of Terzaghi, was adopted for this purpose. The primary consolidation settlement (δ100) from the 24-h test data was determined based on the variation in the theoretical settlement rate. The estimated ultimate settlement and cv values were validated via inverse analysis. Thereafter, the proposed method and eight other existing methods were applied to the results of the oedometer tests on high-quality samples, which were obtained at a deltaic deposit. The proposed methods produced the approximately familiar variations in cv versus the stress increments along the entire depths. The δ100 values obtained using the existing methods were 70–140 % of those using the proposed method, whereas most of the cv values were inconsistently underestimated (i.e., 30–110 %). The irregular estimation from the existing methods is attributed to the use of specific points or segments of the experimental relationships, which are different from the theoretical one. Moreover, the applicability of the theoretical determination of cv was discussed.

Published: August 2019

Age-related memory decline is associated with changes in neural functioning, but little is known about how aging affects the quality of information representation in the brain. Whereas a long-standing hypothesis of the aging literature links cognitive impairments to less distinct neural representations in old age (“neural dedifferentiation”), memory studies have shown that overlapping neural representations of different studied items are beneficial for memory performance. In an electroencephalography (EEG) study, we addressed the question whether distinctiveness or similarity between patterns of neural activity supports memory differentially in younger and older adults. We analyzed between-item neural pattern similarity in 50 younger (19–27 years old) and 63 older (63–75 years old) male and female human adults who repeatedly studied and recalled scene–word associations using a mnemonic imagery strategy. We compared the similarity of spatiotemporal EEG frequency patterns during initial encoding in relation to subsequent recall performance. The within-person association between memory success and pattern similarity differed between age groups: For older adults, better memory performance was linked to higher similarity early in the encoding trials, whereas young adults benefited from lower similarity between earlier and later periods during encoding, which might reflect their better success in forming unique memorable mental images of the joint picture–word pairs. Our results advance the understanding of the representational properties that give rise to subsequent memory, as well as how these properties may change in the course of aging.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTDeclining memory abilities are one of the most evident limitations for humans when growing older. Despite recent advances of our understanding of how the brain represents and stores information in distributed activation patterns, little is known about how the quality of information representation changes during aging and thus affects memory performance. We investigated how the similarity between neural representations relates to subsequent memory in younger and older adults. We present novel evidence that the interaction of pattern similarity and memory performance differs between age groups: Older adults benefited from higher similarity during early encoding, whereas young adults benefited from lower similarity between early and later encoding. These results provide insights into the nature of memory and age-related memory deficits.

Abstract
The impact of climate change that comes with a dramatic increase of long periods of extreme summer drought associated with heat is a fundamental challenge for European forests. As a result, forests are expected to shift their distribution patterns toward north-east, which may lead to a dramatic loss in value of European forest land. Consequently, unraveling key processes that underlie drought stress tolerance is not only of great scientific but also of utmost economic importance for forests to withstand future heat and drought wave scenarios. To reveal drought stress-related molecular patterns we applied cross-species comparative transcriptomics of three major European oak species: the less tolerant deciduous pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), the deciduous but quite tolerant pubescent oak (Q. pubescens), and the very tolerant evergreen holm oak (Q. ilex). We found 415, 79, and 222 differentially expressed genes during drought stress in Q. robur, Q. pubescens, and Q. ilex, respectively, indicating species-specific response mechanisms. Further, by comparative orthologous gene family analysis, 517 orthologous genes could be characterized that may play an important role in drought stress adaptation on the genus level. New regulatory candidate pathways and genes in the context of drought stress response were identified, highlighting the importance of the antioxidant capacity, the mitochondrial respiration machinery, the lignification of the water transport system, and the suppression of drought-induced senescence – providing a valuable knowledge base that could be integrated in breeding programs in the face of climate change.

Background and aimsFew studies have investigated the effects of problematic smartphone use (PSU) in the family context. We studied the association of PSU as a predictor with family well-being and the potential mediating role of family communication in Hong Kong Chinese adults.MethodsWe analyzed data of 5,063 randomly selected adults [mean age (SD) = 48.1 (18.2) years; 45.0% men] from a dual landline and mobile telephone survey in 2017. PSU was assessed by the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version with higher scores indicating higher levels. Family well-being was assessed by three questions on perceived family health, harmony, and happiness (3Hs) with higher scores indicating greater well-being. Perceived sufficiency and quality of family communication were rated. Multivariable regression analyses examined (a) associations of PSU with family 3Hs and well-being and (b) mediating role of family communication, adjusting for sociodemographic variables.ResultsPSU was negatively associated with perceived family health (adjusted β = −0.008, 95% CI = −0.016, −0.0004), harmony (adjusted β = −0.009, 95% CI = −0.017, −0.002), happiness (adjusted β = −0.015, 95% CI = −0.022, −0.007), and well-being (adjusted β = −0.011, 95% CI = −0.018, −0.004). Perceived family communication sufficiency (adjusted β = −0.007, 95% CI = −0.010, −0.005) and quality (adjusted β = −0.009, 95% CI = −0.014, −0.005) mediated the association of PSU with family well-being, with 75% and 94% of total effects having mediated, respectively.Discussion and conclusionsPSU was negatively associated with family well-being, which was partially mediated by family communication. Such findings provide insights for health programs to prevent PSU and improve family well-being.

Abstract
Cabozantinib treatment prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and improved objective response rate (ORR) compared with sunitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of intermediate or poor risk by International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) criteria in the phase II CABOSUN trial (NCT01835158). In the trial, 157 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive cabozantinib or sunitinib, stratified by IMDC risk group and presence of bone metastases. Here, PFS and ORR, both determined by independent radiology committee (IRC), were analyzed by subgroups of baseline characteristics. Cabozantinib treatment was generally associated with improved PFS and ORR versus sunitinib across subgroups, including in groups defined by IMDC risk group, bone metastases, age, and tumor burden.

Published: August 2019

Objective. The work is devoted to the comparison of the mechanisms of β-endorphin action in isolated rat heart and lymphatic vessels.
Materials and methods. The experiments were performed using the Langendorff System perfusion device (Panlab, Spain) and the multichannel wire myograph 620M (DMT). During the study, selective opioid receptor blockers, K + channel blockers were used.
Conclusion. In the course of experimental studies it was found that the most likely target for β-endorphin in an isolated rat heart are δ-opioid receptors, in isolated lymphatic vessels of a rat - μ- and δ-opioid receptors. The inhibitory effect of β-endorphin in the heart muscle is associated with stimulation of ATP-sensitive K + channels. In isolated lymphatic vessels, the effect of β-endorphin is realized through the activation of both potential-dependent and ATP-sensitive K+ channels.

Published: August 2019

Parameters dynamics of brain bioelectric activity of 50 patients in alcoholic coma are considered. Patients underwent continuous EEG monitoring from the end of the basic resuscitation to the apparent recovery of consciousness (awakening). The average registration time was 4.5 hours. EEG was recorded in standard derivations using the 10–20 system. The amplitude-frequency indices of spontaneous activity and reactivity are analyzed. Electroencephalographic correlates of cerebral insufficiency in comatose states are distinguished by pronounced polymorphism and high individual variability. Considering these features, “dynamic” parameters should be used as prognostic criteria: spontaneity and variability of the pattern, reactivity during stimulation. The increase in the frequency of bioelectric activity, desynchronization with external stimuli may indicate the beginning of the process of recovery of consciousness. Electrophysiological criteria for awakening, developed in this work on the example of alcoholic coma, can be mostly applicable to unconscious states caused by other etiological factors: trauma, hypoxia, vascular failure.

Authors: N. Prashanth V. , . Sneha 
Published: August 2019

Background: Dengue fever is an important tropical disease which is endemic in around 110 countries. It infects 50-100 million people worldwide per year. In India case fatality rate is 1-5% for severe Dengue. Between 2015-2017, 790 deaths have been recorded according to NVBDCP data. Global burden of Dengue has increased at least fourfold over last three decades and now 2.5 billion people at risk of disease. This study aims at determining sterile pyuria as a manifestation in patients presenting with Dengue fever, as patients may present with similar symptoms as that of urinary tract infection, thereby preventing unnecessary use of antibiotics.Methods: It is a Cross sectional observational study conducted on 100 consecutive patients with serologically proven Dengue fever. Patients satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria underwent relevant investigations and in patients with urine routine showing pyuria, urine culture and sensitivity was done to rule out urinary tract infection and look for sterile pyuria.Results: Among 100 patients of dengue studied, age distribution being 18years to 70years, mean age was 33.27±13.2 years of them 78 were male and 22 were female. 41% patients showed pyuria in urine. 25 % patients were culture positive most common being E. coli and 16% patients had sterile pyuria.Conclusions: Sterile pyuria is not a well-recognized entity in Dengue fever and is often missed. This study shows that sterile pyuria is quite common manifestation in dengue fever which resembles urinary tract infection and therefore does not require any empirical antibiotic treatment.

Subject. Currently, about 530 types of microorganisms that live in supragingival and subgingival plaque have been discovered. To periodontal pathogens today carry a little more than ten types. The main role in the occurrence of periodontal disease is played by microorganisms included in the “red complex” of BANA+: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia. With the simultaneous identification of these types can be judged on the high risk of developing periodontal disease.
Objective ― calculating the frequency of occurrence of various types of dentition defects of patients with varying severity of periodontal disease, establishing the connection between the severity of periodontal disease and the number of periodontal pathogenic microflora.
Methodology. A clinical examination of a patients group which consists of 32 women and 10 men in the age from 38 to 66 years was conducted. Anamnesis was collected using a survey and a special questionnaire. External examination and examination of the oral cavity allowed to find the clinical conditions and anatomical features that leads to periodontal disease’s development.
Results. Based on the data of clinical and radiological examination, the patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of periodontal disease. During the clinical examination, we calculated the frequency of occurrence of various types of dentition defects in patients with varying degrees of severity of periodontal disease.
Findings. It has been found that the course of chronic generalized periodontitis depends on the number of types of aggressive forms of periodontal pathogens.
Application of Closed Chamber Theory to Backsurge Completion Testing
Authors: Simmons J. F. , Sageev A. 
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT
A transient pressure analysis method for the closed chamber oil well test is presented. The method allows determination of reservoir transmissibility and well bore skin using log-log type curve matching. The method is believed applicable to analysis of perforation cleaning back-surge data.
Solution is obtained by superposition of the cumulative influx, constant pressure solution of the radial diffusivity equation. Superposition avoids many of the limitations of direct solution, and facilitates consideration of non-ideal chamber gas behavior and complex well bore geometry.
A sensitivity study of tool and reservoir parameters is presented. The results indicate that unlike the slug test, tool geometry greatly influences the dimensionless pressure response of the closed chamber test. Tool design guide lines are presented for extending the period during which the closed chamber test behaves as a slug test, and is suitable for analysis by type curve matching with published slug test results. The superposition results also indicate that assuming ideal chamber gas behavior does not significantly alter the bottom hole pressure response.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The aim of this work is to examine the wellbore pressure behavior in reservoirs with single phase non-Darcy flow conditions produced at a constant sandface rate.
The transient flow period is analyzed by means of results generated with a finite difference model.
Analytical expressions of pressure drop and its semilog-arithmic slope are presented for the first time. These equations contain the laminar flow solution as a particular case and they provide means to evaluate the total skin factor. Another use of the analytical solution to the non-Darcy flow problem is to be able of identifying the presence of inertial effects by using a diagnostic plot which consists of graphing the derivative of the pressure data versus the inverse of the square root of time on a cartesian paper. In this way, an analyst can easily predict the magnitude of the skin due to non-laminar flow under any condition of mechanical skin and rate. Furthermore, better stimulation jobs can be designed if non-Darcy flow conditions during a transient test are properly identified through the methodology presented in this study.
The use of the methodology obtained in this work is illustrated with synthetic examples for homogeneous and naturally fractured reservoirs. Also, a field example of an undersaturated reservoir and a dry gas case (taken from the literature) show the application of this technique. For the case of naturally fractured reservoirs new insights are provided.
