Background

Aerobic exercise (
AE
) is recommended as first‐line antihypertensive lifestyle therapy based on strong evidence showing that it lowers blood pressure (
BP
) 5 to 7 mm Hg among adults with hypertension. Because of weaker evidence showing that dynamic resistance training (
RT
) reduces
BP
2 to 3 mm Hg among adults with hypertension, it is recommended as adjuvant lifestyle therapy to
AE
training. Yet, existing evidence suggests that dynamic
RT
can lower
BP
as much or more than
AE
.

Methods and Results

We meta‐analyzed 64 controlled studies (71 interventions) to determine the efficacy of dynamic
RT
as stand‐alone antihypertensive therapy. Participants (N=2344) were white (57%), middle‐aged (47.2±19.0 years), and overweight (26.8±3.4 kg/m
2
) adults with prehypertension (126.7±10.3/76.8±8.7 mm Hg); 15% were on antihypertensive medication. Overall, moderate‐intensity dynamic
RT
was performed 2.8±0.6 days/week for 14.4±7.9 weeks and elicited small‐to‐moderate reductions in systolic
BP
(
SBP
; d
+
=−0.31; 95%
CI
s, −0.43, −0.19; −3.0 mm Hg) and diastolic
BP
(
DBP
; d
+
=−0.30; 95%
CI
s, −0.38, −0.18; −2.1 mm Hg) compared to controls (
P
s<0.001). Greater
BP
reductions occurred among samples with higher resting
SBP
/
DBP
: ≈6/5 mm Hg for hypertension, ≈3/3 mm Hg for prehypertension, and ≈0/1 mm Hg for normal
BP
(
P
s<0.023). Furthermore, nonwhite samples with hypertension experienced
BP
reductions that were approximately twice the magnitude of those previously reported following
AE
training (−14.3 mm Hg [95%
CI
s, −19.0, −9.4]/−10.3 mm Hg [95%
CI
s, −14.5, −6.2]).

Conclusions

Our results indicate that for nonwhite adult samples with hypertension, dynamic
RT
may elicit
BP
reductions that are comparable to or greater than those reportedly achieved with
AE
training. Dynamic
RT
should be further investigated as a viable stand‐alone therapeutic exercise option for adult populations with high
BP
.

The Importance of the Shape of Cloud Droplet Size Distributions in Shallow Cumulus Clouds. Part I: Bin Microphysics Simulations
Authors: Igel Adele L. , van den Heever Susan C. 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
In this two-part study, the relationships between the width of the cloud droplet size distribution and the microphysical processes and cloud characteristics of nonprecipitating shallow cumulus clouds are investigated using large-eddy simulations. In Part I, simulations are run with a bin microphysics scheme and the relative widths (standard deviation divided by mean diameter) of the simulated cloud droplet size distributions are calculated. They reveal that the value of the relative width is higher and less variable in the subsaturated regions of the cloud than in the supersaturated regions owing to both the evaporation process itself and enhanced mixing and entrainment of environmental air. Unlike in some previous studies, the relative width is not found to depend strongly on the initial aerosol concentration or mean droplet concentration. Nonetheless, local values of the relative width are found to positively correlate with local values of the droplet concentrations, particularly in the supersaturated regions of clouds. In general, the distributions become narrower as the local droplet concentration increases, which is consistent with the difference in relative width between the supersaturated and subsaturated cloud regions and with physically based expectations. Traditional parameterizations for the relative width (or shape parameter, a related quantity) of cloud droplet size distributions in bulk microphysics schemes are based on cloud mean values, but the bin simulation results shown here demonstrate that more appropriate parameterizations should be based on the relationship between the local values of the relative width and the cloud droplet concentration.
A Modeling Study of a Trapped Lee-Wave Event over the Pyrénées
Authors: Udina Mireia , Soler Maria Rosa , Sol Ona 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
A trapped lee-wave mountain event in the southern part of the Pyrénées area is analyzed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. Model experiments are designed to address the WRF predictability of such an event and to explore the influence of the model parameters in resolving the mountain waves. The results show that the model is able to capture a trapped lee-wave event using the 1-km horizontal grid model outputs. Different initial conditions, the vertical grid resolution, and the resolved topography lead to changes in the wave field distribution and the wave amplitude meaning that an ensemble of different model settings may be able to quantify the uncertainty of the numerical solutions. However, the model experiments do not significantly change the wavelength of the generated mountain waves, which is shorter in the three-dimensional real simulations than the one derived from satellite imagery. Comparison with observational data from the surface stations and a wind profiler upstream of the mountain range shows that the model underestimates the horizontal wind speed and this can be the reason for the underestimation of the wavelength. In addition, the valley circulations and the formation of a rotor near the surface are explored. The formation of a low-level rotor in the model is intermittent and brief, and it interacts with other flows coming from multiple directions. The first strong wave updraft is located over the valley aligned with the highest mountain peaks and strong vorticity is captured from the surface up to the first wave crest.
The use of desmopressin acetate in patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage: A review
Authors: Mappus Jennifer L , Fellows Shawn E , Anand Sridhar , Gandhi Mona A 
Published: September 2016

Objective This review presents current literature on desmopressin acetate as mono- and adjuvant therapy and its ability to stabilize platelet function in patients presenting with intracranial hemorrhage on pre-injury antiplatelet agents of aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel and/or ticagrelor. Design PubMed, MEDLINE and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts were searched through to 1st March 2016. Inclusion criteria were case reports, reviews, short communications and brief reports on reported patients with any type of intracranial hemorrhage while on oral antiplatelet agents. Reports on desmopressin acetate in surgical candidates were excluded due to the nature of the bleed. Results A scoping search was performed in three databases with 89 articles identified based on the search criteria. All returned articles were evaluated by the authors with four articles suitable for inclusion. Conclusion While desmopressin acetate has a promising mechanism of action for enhancing primary hemostasis, the articles reported conflicting results possibly due to limited study sample sizes, lack of standards on measuring platelet function, data on weight-based dosing and guidelines. Further research is needed to evaluate desmopressin acetate as monotherapy. If used, it should be considered adjunct therapy to platelet transfusions for patients on oral antiplatelet agents requiring emergent hemostasis.
Representing and decomposing genomic structural variants as balanced integer flows on sequence graphs
Authors: Zerbino Daniel R. , Ballinger Tracy , Paten Benedict , Hickey Glenn , Haussler David 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Background
The study of genomic variation has provided key insights into the functional role of mutations. Predominantly, studies have focused on single nucleotide variants (SNV), which are relatively easy to detect and can be described with rich mathematical models. However, it has been observed that genomes are highly plastic, and that whole regions can be moved, removed or duplicated in bulk. These structural variants (SV) have been shown to have significant impact on phenotype, but their study has been held back by the combinatorial complexity of the underlying models.

Results
We describe here a general model of structural variation that encompasses both balanced rearrangements and arbitrary copy-number variants (CNV).

Conclusions
In this model, we show that the space of possible evolutionary histories that explain the structural differences between any two genomes can be sampled ergodically.
Analyzing climate variations at multiple timescales can guide Zika virus response measures
Authors: Muñoz ángel G , Thomson Madeleine C , Goddard Lisa , Aldighieri Sylvain 
Published: September 2016

Abstract

Background
The emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2014–2016 occurred during a period of severe drought and unusually high temperatures, conditions that have been associated with the 2015–2016 El Niño event, and/or climate change; however, no quantitative assessment has been made to date. Analysis of related flaviviruses transmitted by the same vectors suggests that ZIKV dynamics are sensitive to climate seasonality and longer-term variability and trends. A better understanding of the climate conditions conducive to the 2014–2016 epidemic may permit the development of climate-informed short and long-term strategies for ZIKV prevention and control.

Results
Using a novel timescale-decomposition methodology, we demonstrate that the extreme climate anomalies observed in most parts of South America during the current epidemic are not caused exclusively by El Niño or climate change, but by a combination of climate signals acting at multiple timescales. In Brazil, the dry conditions present in 2013–2015 are primarily explained by year-to-year variability superimposed on decadal variability, but with little contribution of long-term trends. In contrast, the warm temperatures of 2014–2015 resulted from the compound effect of climate change, decadal and year-to-year climate variability.

Conclusions
ZIKV response strategies made in Brazil during the drought concurrent with the 2015–2016 El Niño event, may require revision in light of the likely return of rainfall associated with the borderline La Niña event expected in 2016–2017. Temperatures are likely to remain warm given the importance of long term and decadal scale climate signals.
An empirical test of the triple bottom line of customer-centric sustainability: the case of fast fashion
Authors: Park Hyejune , Kim Youn-Kyung 
Published: September 2016

AbstractThe aims of this study were (a) to determine if the triple bottom line (TBL) model can serve as an accounting framework for consumers’ perceived sustainability of fashion brands; (b) to investigate whether TBL sustainability can be linked to brand relationships with fast fashion; and (c) to determine whether the predictive role of the TBL sustainability of fast fashion brands differs from that of sustainable fashion brands. Three research questions were formulated to achieve these goals. To this end, a series of statistical analyses were conducted on the consumer panel data (N = 732) gathered via a market research firm. The sample included US consumers who have shopped from either fast fashion brands or sustainable fashion brands. The results suggest that the TBL model is an effective tool for explaining a consumer’s perception of a fashion brand’s sustainability. The results also reveal disparate effects of TBL sustainability on brand outcomes between fast fashion brands and sustainable fashion brands. Detailed results with theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Using necessary optimality conditions for acceleration of the nonuniform covering optimization method
Authors: Evtushenko Yury , Posypkin Mikhail 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Paper deals with the non-uniform covering method that is aimed at deterministic global optimization. This method finds a feasible solution to the optimization problem numerically and proves that the obtained solution differs from the optimal by no more than a given accuracy. Numerical proof consists of constructing a set of covering sets - the coverage. The number of elements in the coverage can be very large and even exceed the total amount of available computer resources. Basic method of coverage construction is the comparison of upper and lower bounds on the value of the objective function. In this work we propose to use necessary optimality conditions of first and second order for reducing the search for boxconstrained problems. We provide the algorithm description and prove its correctness. The efficiency of the proposed approach is studied on test problems.
Stiffness analysis of glued connection of the
timber-concrete structure
Authors: Daňková Jana , Mec Pavel , Majstríková Tereza 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
This paper presents results of experimental and
mathematical analysis of stiffness characteristics of a composite
timber-concrete structure. The composite timberconcrete
structure presented herein is non-typical compared
to similar types of building structures. The interaction
between the timber and concrete part of the composite
cross-section is not based on metal connecting elements,
but it is ensured by a glued-in perforated mesh made of
plywood. The paper presents results of experimental and
mathematical analysis for material alternatives of the solution
of the glued joint. The slip modulus values were determined
experimentally. Data obtained from the experiment
evaluated by means of regression analysis. Test results
were also used as input data for the compilation of a
3D model of a composite structure by means of the 3D finite
element model. On the basis of result evaluation, it can
be stated that the stress-deformation behaviour at shear
loading of this specific timber-concrete composite structure
can be affected by the type of glue used. Parameters
of the 3D model of both alternative of the structure represent
well the behaviour of the composite structure and the
model can be used for predicting design parameters of a
building structure.
A tool for simulating parallel branch-and-bound methods
Authors: Golubeva Yana , Orlov Yury , Posypkin Mikhail 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The Branch-and-Bound method is known as one of the most powerful but very resource consuming global optimization methods. Parallel and distributed computing can efficiently cope with this issue. The major difficulty in parallel B&B method is the need for dynamic load redistribution. Therefore design and study of load balancing algorithms is a separate and very important research topic. This paper presents a tool for simulating parallel Branchand-Bound method. The simulator allows one to run load balancing algorithms with various numbers of processors, sizes of the search tree, the characteristics of the supercomputer’s interconnect thereby fostering deep study of load distribution strategies. The process of resolution of the optimization problem by B&B method is replaced by a stochastic branching process. Data exchanges are modeled using the concept of logical time. The user friendly graphical interface to the simulator provides efficient visualization and convenient performance analysis.
