Published: May 2019

Abstract
Ariel has been selected as ESA’s M4 mission for launch in 2028 and is designed for the characterization of a large and diverse population of exoplanetary atmospheres to provide insights into planetary formation and evolution within our Galaxy. Here we present a study of Ariel’s capability to observe currently known exoplanets and predicted Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discoveries. We use the Ariel radiometric model (ArielRad) to simulate the instrument performance and find that ∼2000 of these planets have atmospheric signals which could be characterized by Ariel. This list of potential planets contains a diverse range of planetary and stellar parameters. From these we select an example mission reference sample (MRS), comprised of 1000 diverse planets to be completed within the primary mission life, which is consistent with previous studies. We also explore the mission capability to perform an in-depth survey into the atmospheres of smaller planets, which may be enriched or secondary. Earth-sized planets and super-Earths with atmospheres heavier than H/He will be more challenging to observe spectroscopically. However, by studying the time required to observe ∼110 Earth-sized/super-Earths, we find that Ariel could have substantial capability for providing in-depth observations of smaller planets. Trade-offs between the number and type of planets observed will form a key part of the selection process and this list of planets will continually evolve with new exoplanet discoveries replacing predicted detections. The Ariel target list will be constantly updated and the MRS re-selected to ensure maximum diversity in the population of planets studied during the primary mission life.

Published: May 2019

The study is to propose the structural equation model for sustainability in higher education about the use of cloud learning based on the technology acceptance model. Also, this well-known implemented-model was developed by Davis et al.’s technology acceptance model (TAM). The researchers instituted the hypothesized internal hierarchy among content quality, cloud computing, and social cloud for sustainability usage. The informed hypothesis was obtained from a scientific method known as the systematic literature review. After that, the higher education institutes in Thailand has given attention to the burgeoning of cloud learning due to the additional demand in line with technology development for tertiary instruction in the country.
Nevertheless, the strength of its usage is not very outstanding, and there is a need to understand the student’s attitude on the sustainability usage of cloud learning from the perspectives of the technology acceptance model. This study indicated that sustainability usage was a significant predictor towards student to use cloud learning. As a result, it is seen that pupils' attitude plays a vital role in contributing to the sustainability to use cloud learning. The consequence of this study is expected to improve and upgraded cloud learning to be beneficial according to the needs of the students.
Development and Launch of a Comprehensive Fish and Wildlife Reporting Mobile Application
Authors: Flamm Richard O. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This paper describes the conception, development, launch, marketing, and maintenance of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission Reporter (FWC Reporter), a mobile application (app) that the public can use to report fish and wildlife and environmental concerns to appropriate state agency offices. The FWC Reporter, launched in February 2018, is the first comprehensive reporting app developed by a fish and wildlife agency in the United States that we are aware of. On the basis of a consumer concept test and library research, the app's design incorporates elements of fast and frugal heuristics and inductive decision theory. The FWC developed this version of the app in-house with an open-source development package, and involves primarily email and telephone to send reports and facilitate communication with agency staff. From February 2018 through December 31, 2018, the FWC recorded over 1,000 downloads on Android and 4,308 on Apple devices, and 258 emailed reports. Since fish and wildlife reporting apps do not provide clear benefit to the user (low value proposition), it is crucial that offices receiving reports are proactive in building and maintaining their own reporting constituency. Engagement with the public is not only through active recruitment of app users, but also following up after a report is made so that the users know their efforts are appreciated. Two FWC programs demonstrated successful engagement, horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus and fish kills, as they received the most email reports. Other topics for any conservation or fish and wildlife agency to consider when developing their own reporting mobile app include download intention, adoption, continuance, habit formation, public and organizational acceptance, and marketing.
Pathogens of Pacific Lamprey Detected Through Routine Fish Health Screenings
Authors: Jolley Jeffrey C. , Lujan Kenneth M. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Interest in conservation, management, and captive rearing of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus in the Pacific Northwest has risen in recent years. General and specific information regarding the occurrence of fish pathogens and the risk of Pacific Lamprey as a vector for pathogens to other species is not well understood. Specific efforts to captively rear or artificially propagate Pacific Lamprey at facilities that are used for Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. have increased. We performed fish health surveys on wild-caught larval and adult Pacific Lamprey from locations that were used as lamprey sources for captive research to determine the occurrence of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that may be pathogens. A variety of potential pathogens was detected, most notably Aeromonas hydrophila and Vibrio vulnificus from larval Pacific Lamprey and A. salmonicida from adult lampreys. There was a general lack of pathogenic activity and absence of viral detections from all lampreys. The diversity of bacteria encountered from the larvae in our study could be indicative of the wide diversity of bacteria that is known to be associated with larval lamprey in general. Further efforts to understand pathogenic risk from Pacific Lamprey to salmonid propagation programs are warranted.

Published: May 2019

Lung cancer incidence in heart transplant patients is higher than in general population and correlates with smoking history. EGFR-mutations are more frequent in adenocarcinoma and among non-smoking women but incidence in solid organ transplanted patients is still not known. We present case of a 65-year-old ex-smoker male with history of heart transplantation and EGFR positive metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. At admission he was in a severe clinical condition and treatment with erlotinib was started. Initially he had good clinical and radiologic response to treatment with only grade 1 side effects. Data about drug interactions between cyclosporine and erlotinib are insufficient but we have to take this interaction into consideration during treatment because both drugs are substrates and inhibitors of CYP34A. In our case erlotinib was safe and well tolerated drug, there were no relevant toxicity, but close monitoring and dose reduction of cyclosporine was needed.
Feasibility of the Stroll Safe Outdoor Fall Prevention Program
Authors: Chippendale Tracy 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Although half of falls occur outdoors, existing prevention programs focus primarily on risk factors for indoor falls. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the Stroll Safe outdoor fall prevention program and to obtain feedback to refine the program and research methods to plan a larger scale study.
METHOD. A quasi-experimental design (N = 24) was used. A fidelity checklist, attendance records, a focus group, and a reflective log were used to conduct a process, resource, and project management assessment. Preliminary outcomes were examined using fall calendars and standardized measures of fall prevention strategy use.
RESULTS. Needed modifications were determined. Preliminary outcomes reveal increased use of fall prevention strategies and decreased stumbles, trips, slips, and falls outdoors among program participants.
CONCLUSION. The Stroll Safe program is an innovative new program that is feasible to implement among community-dwelling older adults. Further study is warranted.
Fashioning the Victorians
Authors: Mitchell Rebecca N. 
Published: May 2019

Offering a unique anthology of primary texts, this sourcebook opens a window on the writing that shaped and mirrored Victorian fashion, taking us from corsets to crinolines, dandies to decadent ‘New Women’. A user-friendly collection that provides a solid grounding in the fashion history of the nineteenth century, it brings together for the first time sources that trace the evolution of dress and the social, cultural and political discourses that influenced it.
Featuring seminal writings by authors and commentators such as Oscar Wilde, Thorstein Veblen and Sarah Stickney Ellis, plus satirical cartoons, illustrations and fashion plates from key sources such as Punch magazine, it combines primary texts and illustrations with accessible explanatory notes to offer a wide-ranging overview of the period for both students and researchers.
Each section opens with an introduction that examines the major trends in Victorian clothing – and the material, economic, scientific and cultural forces driving those trends – situating the texts in the pressing social anxieties and pleasures of the time. Exploring both menswear and womenswear, and key topics such as corsetry, dress reform and mourning, Mitchell extends her analysis into interdisciplinary fields including gender studies and literature, and guides the reader with a timeline, glossary and further readings.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:
Many studies have shown that open and laparoscopicsurgery for resection of colonic cancers produce similar short- and long-term results, but no data have been reported from Saudi Arabia.

OBJECTIVE:
Compare 3-year disease-free and overall survival after laparoscopic versus open curative resection for potentially curable colon cancer.

DESIGN:
Multicenter retrospective cohort study.

SETTING:
Tertiary academic hospital.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
We analyzed data of patients who underwent curative resection for potentially curable colon cancer using the laparoscopic or open approach at three tertiary care centers during the period 2000-2015.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Overall and disease-free 3-year survival were the primary endpoints. Secondary endpoints included conversion rate, duration of surgery, length of hospital stay, rate of wound infection, resumption of bowel function, number of lymph nodes retrieved, adequacy of resection and rate of recurrence. Risk factors for recurrence, including complete mesocolic excision, were assessed.

SAMPLE SIZE:
721.

RESULTS:

Patient and tumor characteristics were similar in the two groups except for ASA class (
P
<.01), weight (
P
<.05) and tumor stage (
P
<.05). Over a median follow-up of 46 months, the 3-year overall survival was 76.7% for open resection and 90.3% for laparoscopic colon resection (
P
<.05). The 3-year disease-free survival was 55.3% for open colon resection and 64.9% for laparoscopic colon resection (
P
=.0714).

CONCLUSION:
Overall and disease-free survival after the laparoscopic approach for curative resection of colon cancer is comparable to the open approach.

LIMITATIONS:
Retrospective design and the possibility of selection bias.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.

Filosofía en el Renacimiento. El legado de Juan Luis Vives al quehacer filosófico
Authors: Sebastián Solanes Raúl Francisco 
Published: May 2019

En el presente artículo propongo una aproximación a la filosofía que podemos apreciar en el trasfondo del pensamiento humanista del valenciano de Juan Luís Vives. Especialmente propongo ver la aportación que Vives hace en Contra los pseudo-dialécticos y en Orígenes, escuelas y loores de la filosofía. En ambas obras aparece un importante aspecto: la defensa del pensamiento clásico greco-romano y del uso de las lenguas clásicas frente a la decadente escolástica del momento.

Published: May 2019

Objective
To study the one-year effect of wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses on the visual quality of juvenile myopia.

Methods
The right eyes of 36 juvenile myopias were retrospectively studied in this work. Q-value, e-value, corneal curvature, strehl ratio (SR), modulation transfer function (MTF) and wavefront aberration (WA) were compared before and at 1, 3 and 12 months after wearing OK lenses. The SR, MTF and WA of cornea, internal optic and ocular were analyzed separately. The spherical and cylinder diopter, vision acuity, compensating factor (CF) and compensative rate (CF%) were compared before and at 12 months after wearing OK lenses.

Results
(1) The vision of LogMAR increased and the corneal curvature decreased significantly after wearing OK lenses. There was no significant difference for the e-value before and after wearing OK lenses. The Q-value increased at 1 month but decreased at 3 and 12 months remarkably. (2) The ocular and internal optic SR and MTF increased significantly at 1 month and then remained stable. The MTF in different spacial frequencies increased after wearing OK lenses. There was no significant difference for the corneal SR before and after wearing OK lenses, and the corneal MTF decreased significantly after wearing OK lenses. (3) For the ocular, the total higher order aberration (HOA), spherical, coma and trefoil aberrations increased, and the total aberration, total lower order aberration (LOA) and defocus aberration decreased obviously except astigmatism. The corneal aberrations increased significantly after wearing OK lenses except astigmatism. For the internal optic, the total aberration, total LOA and defocus aberration decreased, and the total HOA, coma and trefoil aberration increased significantly except the astigmatism and spherical aberrations. (4) The CF and CF% of total aberration, total LOA, total HOA and coma aberrations increased, and those of astigmatism and spherical decreased at 12 months.

Conclusions
Orthokeratology is effective in correcting the refractive error and improving the vision quality of juvenile myopia over the one-year follow-up period.
Parkia biglobosa (African Locust Bean) Pulp as a Green Inhibitor for Mild Steel Corrosion
Authors: Myina O. M. , Obed E. G. , Babatunde E. O. 
Published: May 2019

This work investigated corrosion inhibition potential of Parkia biglobosa (P. biglobosa) pulp on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl and 0.1M NaOH aqueous solutions at 301 and 321 K, aimed at converting a cellulosic renewable waste into an environmentally friendly answer to the challenge of mild steel corrosion, especially in chemical industries. Weight loss of mild steel coupons over a period of 120 hrs. were measured at varying concentrations (0.0-7.5 g/L) of P. biglobosa pulp. The data did not strictly fit the Langmuir isotherm, having a slope greater than unity and suggesting that adsorbing species from P. biglobosa pulp occupied more than one active site. This was collaborated by the quantum chemical parameters evaluated. Results of the investigations showed that P. biglobosa pulp is a good green inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in both acidic and alkaline media. An optimum dosage of 4.5 g/L resulted to 85.73 % inhibition efficiency () at 301 K while at 321 K, the optimum dosage was 1.0 g/L of the pulp with an inhibition efficiency ≈ 50 % and 55 % in the acidic and alkaline medium respectively. The values decreased with increase in temperature and were strongly collaborated by values (- 0.86 Lcm-2h-1 at 301 K and - 0.498/0.55 Lcm-2h-1 at 321 K) of order (b) of the reaction. The corrosion reaction showed a large rate constant ( and in acidic and alkaline medium respectively) at ambient temperature; reflecting the fast nature of the process. Values of the standard free energy of adsorption () were negative for the process both at ambient and elevated temperature indicative of a spontaneous process and stable layer of adsorption. These values were less than – 40 kJmol-1, suggestive of a physisorption mechanism. This was collaborated by higher adsorption activation energy () in presence of the inhibitor than in its absence.

Published: May 2019

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome that is characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia, and can lead to chronic long-term complications. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Cameroon has been reported at 5.9% in 2017. Studies conducted in 2011, showed that only 41% of patients had a good glycaemic control which was, HbA1c < 6.5.
The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the treatment intensification with time in T2DM patients in the Yaoundé diabetic Centre in Cameroon.
Methods: The study was a cross-sectional analytical study. In a group of T2DM patients followed up at the National Obesity Centre (NOC) with poorly controlled blood sugar (HbA1c ≥ 7%). The treatment intensification and outcome were evaluated between the periods January 2016 to April 2018. The data was collected from patients’ medical booklet and through a face-to-face interviewer-administered questionnaire.
Results: One hundred and eleven patients (31 males, 27.9% and 80 females, 72.1%) were recruited. The mean age was between 59 ± 10 years and the mean duration of diabetes 8.6 ± 7.0 years. The patients’ treatment consisted: 1) oral anti-diabetic (OAD) agents, monotherapy (24.3%), bitherapy (28.8%), tritherapy 2.7%, 2) insulin only, 19.8% and 3) insulin mixture, 24.3%. The mean baseline HbA1c was 9.3 ± 2.0%. Within the given follow-up time of 16 [11-21] months, only 40 out of the 111 patients had their treatment intensified and 71 had no intensification (therapeutic inertia) despite poor HbA1c levels. Among the 40 with intensification, 5 had immediate intensification and the proportions according to intensification delay ≤3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and >12 months .
Conclusion: Therapeutic inertia affected two third of our population. Despite the high level of inertia, both patients with intensified treatment and non-intensified treatment reached treatment targets.
Role of Relief and Slope in Agricultural Land Use: A Case Study in Valapattanam River Basin in Kannur District, Kerala Using GIS and Remote Sensing
Authors: Jyothirmayi P. , Sukumar B. 
Published: May 2019

The land is a delineable area of the earth's surface, encompassing all attributes of the biosphere immediately above or below this surface. Physical characteristics of the land determine agricultural land use. Among them, relief and slope play an important role. Aim of this study is to establish the relationship of relief and slope with agricultural land use in Valapattanam River basin in Kannur district using GIS and Remote sensing.
The Survey of India Topographic maps in 1:50000 scale was used as a base map for delineating the basin. Contours were digitized and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was generated. Agricultural land use map was prepared using satellite digital data by the digital image processing method using ERDAS IMAGINE image processing software. Agricultural land use map was intersected with the relief and slope classes in ArcGIS software. Areas were calculated and the trend of agricultural land use patterns was studied. The study revealed that there is a strong correlation between Agricultural land use and relief and slope in the Valapattanam River basin.
Most of the area under paddy, coconut, mixed crops like banana and tapioca concentrated below 20 m height in the coastal plain and valley regions of the basin. Rubber mostly cultivated between 100 and 300 meters with slopes between 3 to 12 degrees. Agriculture is limited up to 18-degree slope and 300 m height. Areas of more than 300 m height are occupied mostly by forest.

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe size of the Ziegler–Natta catalyst (ZNC) particles can have a strong impact on their activity and the size and size distribution (SD) of the final polymer particles. In this work, we apply sonofragmentation to break the ZNC particles dispersed in hexane. Our main goals are first to monitor the breakage induced by the ultrasonic power to understand the kinetics and the effect of sonofragmentation on the colloidal stability of the ZNC particles. Second, we explore the effect of sonofragmentation on the polymerization performance of the ZNC particles. It is found that sonofragmentation can not only reduce the size but also narrow the SD of the ZNC particles. From the tests of ethylene polymerization, we observed that the catalyst yield of the sonofragmentation‐treated ZNC is substantially higher than that of the untreated one and that the obtained polymer particles exhibit a smaller average size and a narrower SD.
