Published: June 2018

Context. To our knowledge, R Mon is the only B0 star in which a gaseous Keplerian disk has been detected. However, there is some controversy about the spectral type of R Mon. Some authors propose that it could be a later B8e star, where disks are more common.
Aims. Our goal is to re-evaluate the R Mon spectral type and characterize its protoplanetary disk.
Methods. The spectral type of R Mon has been re-evaluated using the available continuum data and UVES emission lines. We used a power-law disk model to fit previous 12CO 1 →0 and 2 →1 interferometric observations and the PACS CO data to investigate the disk structure. Interferometric detections of 13CO J = 1 →0, HCO+ 1 →0, and CN 1 →0 lines using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) are presented. The HCN 1 →0 line was not detected.
Results. Our analysis confirms that R Mon is a B0 star. The disk model compatible with the 12CO 1 →0 and 2 →1 interferometric observations falls short of predicting the observed fluxes of the 14 < Ju < 31 PACS lines; this is consistent with the scenario in which some contribution to these lines is coming from a warm envelope and/or UV-illuminated outflow walls. More interestingly, the upper limits to the fluxes of the Ju > 31 CO lines suggest the existence of a region empty of CO at R ≲ 20 au in the protoplanetary disk. The intense emission of the HCO+ and CN lines shows the strong influence of UV photons on gas chemistry.
Conclusions. The observations gathered in this paper are consistent with the presence of a transition disk with a cavity of Rin ≳ 20 au around R Mon. This size is similar to the photoevaporation radius that supports the interpretation that UV photoevaporation is main disk dispersal mechanism in massive stars
Tracing the evolution of radiation-MHD simulations of solar and stellar atmospheres in the Lagrangian frame
Authors: Leenaarts Jorrit 
Published: June 2018

Context. Radiation magnetohydrodynamics (radiation-MHD) simulations have become a standard tool for investigating the physics of solar and stellar atmospheres.
Aims. The aim of this paper is to present a method that allows the efficient and accurate analysis of flows in such simulations in the Lagrangian frame.
Methods. This paper presents a method that allows the construction of pathlines given a seed point that can be chosen freely at any location and at any time during the simulation where the simulation state is stored. The method is based on passive tracer particles. Through injection of particles in expanding regions the occurrence of particle-free volumes is avoided, even in the case of strongly compressive flows.
Results. The method was implemented in the solar and stellar atmosphere simulation code Bifrost. It is efficient and accurate. As examples I present an analysis of a gas parcel in the convection zone and a particle in the solar transition region.
The Twisted Nose: What to Do When It's Not Straight
Authors: Gonzalez Joseph , Winkler Andrew 
Published: June 2018

AbstractSeptorhinoplasty is among the most common facial plastic and reconstructive surgeries and its complexities are reflected in a relatively high revision rate. The patient with a postoperative twisted nose presents an additional challenge and requires that the surgeon display empathy and possess a deep knowledge of the aesthetic and functional intricacies of the nose. Correction of the twisted nose should be approached in a systematic fashion with unique considerations for each “third” of the nose. While there are many options in the overall surgical armamentarium, each surgeon will find specific techniques that are most efficacious and reproducible for their individual practice. This article discusses select surgical “pearls” and techniques that can aid the surgeon in their own surgical decision-making.
Failure of Synthetic Implants: Strategies and Management
Authors: Kim Shin , Alharethy Sami , Jang Yong 
Published: June 2018

AbstractDorsal augmentation with synthetic implants is the most commonly performed rhinoplasty procedure, especially in the East-Asian region. However, as in all other surgical procedures, complications are inevitable. Complications that need to be managed surgically include displacement, deviation, suboptimal aesthetic outcome, extrusion, inflammation, infection, and changes in skin quality. Most complications can be easily managed with revision surgery. After the removal of the synthetic implant from the nasal dorsum, different dorsal implant materials such as dermofat, alloderm, or fascia-wrapped diced cartilage, conchal cartilage with perichondrial attachment, and costal cartilage are preferred. An irreversible change in the skin/soft tissue envelope poses a challenge that usually requires reconstructive surgery with a local flap. Therefore, early detection and prompt management of the complication are essential for minimizing the severity of the deformity and the complexity of the surgical procedures.
Primary Pericardial Mesothelioma an Oncological Rarity
Authors: Kumar R , Surabhi Sai ,   Avinash,   Ramakrishna
Published: June 2018

AbstractPrimary pericardial mesothelioma is a rare and lethal tumor, with a reported prevalence of <0.002% [1]. Pleural and pericardial mesotheliomas, which are far more common are usually associated with exposure to asbestos. However, the cause of pericardial mesothelioma is less clear [2] and is influenced by other factors like genetic predisposition, immunological impairment, infection, radiation, dietary factors and recurrent serosal inflammation [3]. Clinical manifestations of the neoplasm include constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, and heart failure. Because of late presentation and few treatment approaches, primary pericardial mesothelioma carries a poor prognosis. In this paper, we present a case of primary pericardial mesothelioma in a 46 year female presenting as recurrent pericardial effusion along with constrictive pericarditis.
Beating the classical precision limit with spin-1 Dicke states of more than 10,000 atoms

Published: June 2018

Significance
Entanglement is central to studies in foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum information, and precision measurement. Among the variety of multipartite entangled states, Dicke states form an important class, and their realizations attract widespread interest. Most of the Dicke states produced to date are limited to pseudospin-1/2 (two-level) particles. This work reports the generation of balanced Dicke states comprising spin-1 (three-level) atoms and the subsequent demonstration of enhanced interferometric sensitivity over the standard quantum limit facilitated by them. We expect it will stimulate both experimental and theoretical research efforts on entangled states of higher-spin particles.
Phoma macrostoma
: as a broad spectrum bioherbicide for turf grass and agricultural applications.
Authors: Hynes R. K. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Phoma macrostoma
Montagne 94-44B is an effective bioherbicide for broadleaved weed reduction. In 2016, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations, granted full registration for the sale and use of the bioherbicide
P. macrostoma
Montagne 94-44B to control a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds in established turfgrass and new seeding of grasses as well as in field grown nursery plants, trees and container-grown ornamentals.
P. macrostoma
94-44B colonizes susceptible and non-susceptible plant roots, however, only in susceptible plants, such as
Taraxacum officinale
(dandelion), do mycelium proliferate around the vascular trachea interfering with the function of neighbouring cells while not entering them. Macrocidins, secondary metabolites secreted by
P. macrostoma
94-44B mycelia, inhibit multiple steps in carotenoid precursor formation including phytoene desaturase and steps associated with β carotene and lutein carotenoid biogenesis, Fe and Mg chelation and OJIP chlorophyll fluorescence, thus uncoupling the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II from the reaction centre. The combined actions of
P. macrostoma
94-44B and macrocidins elicit photobleaching of the leaves and eventual weed death. Research is underway to exploit Phoma's bioherbicidal actions for weed management in agriculture.
P. macrostoma
94-44B can be used to reduce broadleaved weeds in crops such as wheat, corn, potato, forage grasses and established alfalfa (2nd growth or older). Soil residue studies reveal that neither
P. macrostoma
94-44B nor macrocidins are present after 1 year suggesting that farmers could plant

-sensitive crops such as legumes, flax or canola in subsequent years.
Selection procedures in sports: Improving predictions of athletes’ future performance

Published: June 2018

AbstractThe selection of athletes has been a central topic in sports sciences for decades. Yet, little consideration has been given to the theoretical underpinnings and predictive validity of the procedures. In this paper, we evaluate current selection procedures in sports given what we know from the selection psychology literature. We contrast the popular clinical method (predictions based on overall impressions of experts) with the actuarial approach (predictions based on pre‐defined decision rules), and we discuss why the latter approach often leads to superior performance predictions. Furthermore, we discuss the “signs” and the “samples” approaches. Taking the prevailing signs approach, athletes’ technical‐, tactical‐, physical‐, and psychological skills are often assessed separately in controlled settings. However, for predicting later sport performance, taking samples of athletes’ behaviours in their sports environment may result in more valid assessments. We discuss the possible advantages and implications of making selection procedures in sports more actuarial and sample‐based.

Abstract
Badminton is one of the leading sports in the world. It has its own set of rules on the equipments used and general game play. One of the main equipment used is the badminton racket. Each sections of a badminton racket have its own design requirements and one of it is the racket’s material selection. Therefore, material selection is very important to improve the usage of a badminton racket. This study describes the use of the Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality (ELECTRE) method in the material selection of a badminton racket frame with reference to the sustainable manufacturing practice of the frame. By categorizing the materials of the badminton racket frame according to mechanical, physical, chemical and environmental properties, and further detailed sub criteria were set according to the usage of these frames, the ELECTRE I method was used to determine the dominant material. Out of the six materials usually used in the manufacturing of a badminton racket frame, carbon fibre was the dominant material selected from three out of the four properties which are the mechanical, chemical and most importantly the environmental properties, as to comply with the sustainable manufacturing practice of these frames.

Authors: Basir Basir , Haris Ibrahim Abdul 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Water is a part of life on the surface of the earth. It is not a new substance which no life on earth can survive without water. This study aims to identify the quality of river water of jeneberang as municipal waterworks (PDAM) raw regarding to turbidity parameters, BOD, and DO. The used methodology is observational with descriptive approach. The sampling technique was done by grasping each sample for turbidity parameter, BOD and DO in four IPAM water inlet of Makassar City. This sampling was conducted at Laboratory of Environmental Health Engineering Center (BTKL) and Disease Control using Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, Titrimetry, and Spectrophotometric method. The results of the examination showed that the turbidity level> 5 NTU, so it is not eligible to be drunk directly. The levels for BOD and eligibles for not exceeding the specified limits are <3 mg / l and <25 mg / l and in DO for Maccini Sombala <4 mg / l region, so it is not eligible. The conclusion in this research that turbidity parameter, BOD and DO qualify as the raw water of PDAM have to be processed so that water can be drunk by society.

Authors: Ahmad A , Lopulisa C , Imran A M , Baja S 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Intensive cropping in the tropical region always becomes one of important driving forces of soil degradation. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the states and the dynamics of soil physicochemical properties to evaluate soil degradation in the tropical region a high rainfall on agricultural areas in South Sulawesi. A number of soil characteristics were analyzed for physical and chemical properties, and clay minerals with X-ray diffractometer. The degree of soil degradation is determined using Wischmeier and Smith equation. This study reveals that mean annual precipitation in 1979-2016 ranged from 1853.15 to 2981.30 mm/year. For land used for paddy field, palm oil, cacao and coffee plantation, the texture dominated with silt loam-clay loam, cation exchange capacity was 18.63-26.32 cmol+ kg-1, 0.98-2.91% of C-organic, 32-55% of base saturation, 0.1-3.5 cm h-1 of permeability, soil clay minerals were montmorillonite-kaolinite-halloysite, and the index erodibility was 0.3-0.5. Land used for mixed plants and shrubs, the texture dominated with silt loam-sandy clay loam, cation exchange capacity was 18.63-27.12 cmol+ kg-1, 1.09-2.89% of C-organic, 32-55% of base saturation, 0.2-4.9 cm/h of permeability, soil clay minerals were kaolinite-halloysite, and index erodibility was 0.1-0.3. Land use for cultivated in the high intensity of rainfall has changed the physicochemical properties of soils, but cultivated in monoculture has at some degree increased soil erodibility.
The use of social media and open data in promoting civic co-management: case of Jakarta
Authors: Widyanarko Pritta A 
Published: June 2018

Abstract

Abstract. With the high number of population and high use of social media, residents willingly share information in the digital world. While cities are sometimes seen as data-scarce, this digital platform produces informal and scattered, but also valuable data. One way to prepare for co-management during disaster situations is to extend these informal networks to include a channel between residents and government agencies. The platform PetaBencana.id crowd-sources these actual and on-ground observations from residents on social media and instant messaging, integrates the informal and formal disaster-related-data, gives the residents access to the same tool used by the government, and provides an interface that answers to residents and government’s needs; thus making the information more useful in co-managing the city during disaster situation. More information-based decisions can be made by both the residents and government through improved situational knowledge, resulting in better disaster response and resilience of the city.
Hybrid Method for Power Control Simulation of a Single Fluid Plasma Thruster
Authors: Jaisankar S. , Sheshadri T. S. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Propulsive plasma flow through a cylindrical-conical diverging thruster is simulated by a power controlled hybrid method to obtain the basic flow, thermodynamic and electromagnetic variables. Simulation is based on a single fluid model with electromagnetics being described by the equations of potential Poisson, Maxwell and the Ohm's law while the compressible fluid dynamics by the Navier Stokes in cylindrical form. The proposed method solved the electromagnetics and fluid dynamics separately, both to segregate the two prominent scales for an efficient computation and for the delivery of voltage controlled rated power. The magnetic transport is solved for steady state while fluid dynamics is allowed to evolve in time along with an electromagnetic source using schemes based on generalized finite difference discretization. The multistep methodology with power control is employed for simulating fully ionized propulsive flow of argon plasma through the thruster. Numerical solution shows convergence of every part of the solver including grid stability causing the multistep hybrid method to converge for a rated power delivery. Simulation results are reasonably in agreement with the reported physics of plasma flow in the thruster thus indicating the potential utility of this hybrid computational framework, especially when single fluid approximation of plasma is relevant.

Published: June 2018

Abstract

Summary
With the rapid accumulation of sequencing data from genomic and metagenomic studies, there is an acute need for better tools that facilitate their analyses against biological functions. To this end, we developed MetQy, an open–source R package designed for query–based analysis of functional units in [meta]genomes and/or sets of genes using the The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). Furthermore, MetQy contains visualization and analysis tools and facilitates KEGG’s flat file manipulation. Thus, MetQy enables better understanding of metabolic capabilities of known genomes or user–specified [meta]genomes by using the available information and can help guide studies in microbial ecology, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology.

Role of genetics in the prediction of statin-associated muscle symptoms and optimization of statin use and adherence
Authors: Brunham Liam R , Baker Steven , Mammen Andrew , Mancini G B John , Rosenson Robert S 
Published: June 2018

AbstractStatin therapy reduces cardiovascular events in patients with, or at risk of, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, statins are underutilized in patients for whom they are indicated and are frequently discontinued. Discontinuation may be the result of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), which encompass a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes from myalgia to severe myopathy. As with many adverse drug reactions (ADRs), inter-individual variability in susceptibility to SAMS is due, at least in part, to differences in host genetics. The genetic basis for SAMS has been investigated in candidate gene studies, genome-wide association studies, and, more recently, studies of multi-omic networks, including at the transcriptome level. In this article, we provide a systematic review of the pharmacogenetic basis of SAMS, focusing on how an understanding of the genetic and molecular determinants of SAMS can be considered in a personalized approach to reduce the incidence of this ADR, optimize statin adherence, and reduce the risk for cardiovascular events.

Published: June 2018

Abstract

Background
Gene fusions derive from chromosomal rearrangements. The resulting chimeric transcripts are often endowed with oncogenic potential. Furthermore, they serve as diagnostic tools for the clinical classification of cancer subgroups with different prognosis and, in some cases, they can provide specific drug targets. To date, many efforts have been carried out to study gene fusion events occurring in tumor samples. In recent years, the availability of a comprehensive next-generation sequencing dataset for all existing human tumor cell lines has provided the opportunity to further investigate these data in order to identify novel and still uncharacterized gene fusion events.

Results
In our work, we have extensively reanalyzed 935 paired-end RNA-sequencing experiments downloaded from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia repository, aiming at addressing novel putative cell-line specific gene fusion events in human malignancies. The bioinformatics analysis has been performed by the execution of four gene fusion detection algorithms. The results have been further prioritized by running a Bayesian classifier that makes an in silico validation. The collection of fusion events supported by all of the predictive software results in a robust set of ~1,700 in silico predicted novel candidates suitable for downstream analyses. Given the huge amount of data and information produced, computational results have been systematized in a database named LiGeA. The database can be browsed through a dynamic and interactive web portal, further integrated with validated data from other well-known repositories. Taking advantage of the intuitive query forms, the users can easily access, navigate, filter, and select the putative gene fusions for further validations and studies. They can also find suitable experimental models for a given fusion of interest.

Conclusions
We believe that the LiGeA resource can represent not only the first compendium of both known and putative novel gene fusion events in the catalog of all of the human malignant cell lines but it can also become a handy starting point for wet-lab biologists who wish to investigate novel cancer biomarkers and specific drug targets.
Deformation of Tilting-type Derived Equivalences for Crepant Resolutions
Authors: Hara Wahei 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
We say that an exact equivalence between the derived categories of two algebraic varieties is tilting type if it is constructed by using tilting bundles. The aim of this article is to understand the behavior of tilting-type equivalences for crepant resolutions under deformations. As an application of the method that we establish in this article, we study the derived equivalence for stratified Mukai flops and stratified Atiyah flops in terms of tilting bundles.
