MoRPh: a citizen science tool for monitoring and appraising physical habitat changes in rivers
Authors: Shuker Lucy J. , Gurnell Angela M. , Wharton Geraldene , Gurnell David J. , England Judy , Finn Leeming Brishan F. , Beach Ellie 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe MoRPh survey is designed to enable citizen scientists to monitor physical habitat mosaics and human pressures within short (up to 40 m) river reaches called modules. MoRPh underpins a multiscale Modular River Survey, providing local information, which when collected across 10 contiguous modules, delivers a MultiMoRPh river sub‐reach survey up to 400 m in length. This, in turn, contributes to a HydroMoRPh assessment of reaches extending to tens of kilometres of river length, based on secondary data sources. A 6‐month trial on chalk streams, demonstrates that indices calculated from MoRPh surveys can detect notable differences in hydraulic, sediment, physical and vegetation habitat characteristics across this single river type. Further tests will evaluate applicability to other river types and ability to detect temporal changes. Development of aggregate indices for MultiMoRPh sub‐reaches will aid interpretation of contemporary morphological dynamics, complementing longer term changes extracted at the reach scale by a HydroMoRPh analysis.

Authors: Khorrami Gh. H. , Mousavi M. , Dowran M. 
Published: May 2017

In this paper, potassium sodium niobate (KNN) nanopowders were successfully obtained by sol–gel combustion method. According to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results, the produced xerogel was calcined at 500[Formula: see text]C, 600[Formula: see text]C, and 700[Formula: see text]C to obtain KNN powders. The structural and optical properties of the prepared powders were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–vis spectroscopy. The XRD patterns indicated formation of orthorhombic KNN samples. The Scherrer formula and size–strain plot (SSP) method were employed to calculate crystallite size and lattice strain of the KNN powders. The TEM image revealed that the average particle size of the prepared samples is about 30 nm and they have cubic shape. The optical band gap energy of the samples was calculated using UV–vis absorbance spectra of the samples along with Tauc relation.
Bed Shear Stresses Parameterization in Wave–Current Interaction by k − ω Turbulence Model
Authors: Smaoui Hassan , Kaidi Sami 
Published: May 2017

For a flow generated by the wave–current interaction (WCI), an accurate estimate of the maximum ([Formula: see text]) and the mean ([Formula: see text]) bed shear stresses is important for the sediment transport calculation. These two parameters are usually estimated by numerical modeling which can prove to be difficult to implement and very costly in CPU time. This paper then proposes analytic parameterization of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by simple relationship depending on the current and wave shear stresses ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]).The proposed parameterization was performed in two steps: the first step is to build a numerical database of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for different combinations of flow variables. This step was carried out by an one-dimensional vertical (1DV) model of turbulent bottom boundary layer using the [Formula: see text] turbulence model. The second step is to represent this database by predefined analytical relations. This step was performed by an optimization procedure adopting the GlobalSearch (GS) (function of Matlab software).The proposed parameterization based on the “[Formula: see text]/GS” combination provides very good estimations of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. These estimations are similar to those proposed by other authors who have studied the WCI by analytical models widely used by the marine science community.
Activation of Adiponectin Receptor Regulates Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 Expression and Inhibits Lesions in ApoE-Deficient Mice

Published: May 2017

Objective—
The reduced adiponectin levels are associated with atherosclerosis. Adiponectin exerts its functions by activating adiponectin receptor (AdipoR). Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) degrades LDLR protein (low-density lipoprotein receptor) to increase serum LDL-cholesterol levels. PCSK9 expression can be regulated by PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ) or SREBP2 (sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2). The effects of AdipoR agonists on PCSK9 and LDLR expression, serum lipid profiles, and atherosclerosis remain unknown.

Approach and Results—

At cellular levels, AdipoR agonists (ADP355 and AdipoRon) induced PCSK9 transcription/expression that solely depended on activation of PPAR-responsive element in the PCSK9 promoter. AdipoR agonists induced PPARγ expression; thus, the AdipoR agonist-activated PCSK9 expression/production was impaired in PPARγ deficient hepatocytes. Meanwhile, AdipoR agonists transcriptionally activated LDLR expression by activating SRE in the LDLR promoter. Moreover, AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) was involved in AdipoR agonist-activated PCSK9 expression. In wild-type mice, ADP355 increased PCSK9 and LDLR expression and serum PCSK9 levels, which was associated with activation of PPARγ, AMPKα and SREBP2 and reduction of LDL-cholesterol levels. In contrast, ADP355 reduced PCSK9 expression/secretion in apoE-deficient (apoE
−/−
) mice, but it still activated hepatic LDLR, PPARγ, AMPKα, and SREBP2. More importantly, ADP355 inhibited lesions in en face aortas and sinus lesions in aortic root in apoE
−/−
mice with amelioration of lipid profiles.

Conclusions—

Our study demonstrates that AdipoR activation by agonists regulated PCSK9 expression differently in wild-type and apoE
−/−
mice. However, ADP355 activated hepatic LDLR expression and ameliorated lipid metabolism in both types of mice and inhibited atherosclerosis in apoE
−/−
mice.

The effect of switching from oral low-dose aripiprazole to aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg on the quality of life in three patients with schizophrenia
Authors: Suzuki Hidenobu , Hibino Hiroyuki , Inoue Yuichi , Matsumoto Hideo , Mikami Katsunaka 
Published: May 2017

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic disease that requires long-term management with antipsychotics; however, an important barrier to the success of long-term treatment is drug noncompliance, which increases the risk of recurrence and hospitalization. Second-generation long-acting injectable antipsychotics have improved drug adherence, and the pharmacological effects of the drugs, and therefore, have become useful treatment options. Methods: We report on three schizophrenia patients who switched from oral low-dose aripiprazole to aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg. We examined the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg, as well as its influence on quality of life, from baseline to 20 weeks after aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg treatment. Results: Aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg did not exacerbate the depressive and negative symptoms, and extrapyramidal symptoms were improved, which may have helped improve the quality of life. Conclusion: The results suggest the efficacy of aripiprazole once-monthly 300 mg in maintenance treatment for schizophrenia when mental symptoms are stable.

Authors: Zwicker Jocelyn , Martineau Isabelle , Walsh Sarah , Lavoie Jenny , Weger Evelyn , Scott John 
Published: May 2017

Background: End-of-life care of stroke patients is an important aspect of stroke care. It has been previously reported that nurses express discomfort caring for patients at the end of life or caring for patients who have suffered severe strokes. Nurses at our centre expressed similar discomfort. Aim: To improve the comfort of nurses caring for patients at the end of life after stroke. Design: Nurses were asked to rate their comfort with treating patients at the end of life using the Stroke End-of-Life Care Comfort Scale before and after attending an education session. The education sessions included the presentation of a checklist for suggested orders for end-of-life care. Setting/participants: The project was conducted with the neurosciences nurses at a tertiary care hospital. 54 out of a possible 122 nurses attended an education session. Results: There was a significant improvement in the Stroke End-of-Life Care Comfort Scale score (p=0.00004) 3–4 weeks after the education session compared to the score before the session. Conclusions: The combination of focused education sessions and an order checklist can significantly improve the comfort of nurses caring for patients at the end-of-life after stroke.
Land Use and Social Economic Transformation in Colomadu Sub-District
Authors: Kusumaningrum Ratna 
Published: May 2017

Urbanisasi adalah istilah yang sering disebutkan ketika dihadapkan pda pembahasan perkembangan kota dan petumbuhannya. Pengembangan kota sendiri tidak dapat dipisahkan dari sprawl atau pemekaran kota, dimana kota sudah tidak mampu menyediakan kebutuhan dasar bagi masyarakatnya sehingga kemudian menyebabkan area sekitarnya mulai terdampak dan tereksploitasi. Kondisi yang paling nampak ketika melihat pemekaran kota ada transformasi ekonomi masyarakat dari ba sis pertanian menjadi non pertanian ( Zaninetti, 2006 ) . Pemekaran yang terjadi juga mengubah karakteristik fisik kawasan tersebut, yang kemudian disebut sebagai kawasan transisi ( Douglas, 2006 dalam Huang, Wand, dan Budd, 2009 ) , peri-urban interface ( Dutta, 2012 ) , dan juga Desakota oleh McGee. Sebagai salah satu kawasan peri -urban dari Kota Solo, Kecamatan Colomadu telah mulai bertransformasi dalam sosial ekonomi dan guna lahan. Colomadu merupakan kawasan yang cukup unik, dikarenakan kecamatan ini secara adminitratif adalah bagian dari Kabupaten Karanganyar. Namun, secara geografi terletak lebih dekat dengan Kota Solo. Sehingga kemudian muncul pertanyaan bagaimana transformasi yang terjadi di Colomadu dalam sosial ekonomi dan guna lahan?Kata kunci: peri-urban, guna lahan, sosial, ekonomi, transformasi
Justice Scalia: Tenured Fox in the Democratic Hen-House?
Authors: Marriott Jane 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
This paper examines Justice Scalia’s approach to campaign finance adjudication, in particular his skepticism of legislative motive. Three distinct strands of skepticism are identified: power-grabbing, incumbent-bracing and speech-preventing. As regards democracy Justice Scalia is identified as being caught in definitional dilemma whereby his campaign finance jurisprudence appears to serve a particular vision of democracy, which is, itself, the identifiable creature of his approach to constitutional adjudication. Ultimately, it is argued that, whilst a liberal dose of mistrust of government might well be warranted in cases concerning the devices of democracy, in the task of scrutinising campaign finance regulation and reform, a strong argument emerges for suspicion of judicial motives too since there is as much danger to democracy posed by the tenured fox as by the incumbent one.

Published: May 2017

Background: Vertical bone augmentation (VBA) remains unpredictable and challenging for most clinicians. This study aims to compare hard tissue outcomes of VBA, with and without recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)‐2, under space‐making titanium mesh in a canine model.Methods: Eleven male beagle dogs were used in the study. Experimental ridge defects were created to form atrophic ridges. VBA was performed via guided bone regeneration using titanium mesh and allografts. In experimental hemimandibles, rhBMP‐2/absorbable collagen sponge was well mixed with allografts prior to procedures, whereas a control buffer was applied within controls. Dogs were euthanized after a 4‐month healing period. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to assess ridge dimensional changes. In addition, specimens were used for microcomputed tomography (micro‐CT) assessment and histologic analysis.Results: Membrane exposure was found on five of 11 (45.5%) rhBMP‐2–treated sites, whereas it was found on nine of 11 (81.8%) non–rhBMP‐2–treated sites. Within 4 months of healing, rhBMP‐2–treated sites showed better radiographic bone density, greater defect fill, and significantly more bone gain in ridge height (P <0.05) than controls. Experimental hemimandibles exhibited lower rates of membrane exposure and a noteworthy, ectopic bone formation above the mesh in 72% of sites. Results from micro‐CT also suggested a trend of less vertical bone gain and bone mineral density in controls (P >0.05). Under light microscope, predominant lamellar patterns were found in the specimen obtained from rhBMP‐2 sites.Conclusion: With inherent limitations of the canine model and the concern of such a demanding surgical technique, current findings suggest that the presence of rhBMP‐2 in a composite graft allows an increase of vertical gain, with formation of ectopic bone over the titanium mesh in comparison with non–rhBMP‐2 sites.
Modified Centroid for Estimating Sand, Silt, and Clay from Soil Texture Class
Authors: Levi Matthew R. 
Published: May 2017

Core Ideas
Knowledge of texture class and clay enables continuous estimates of sand and silt.
Rosetta under predicted water retention compared with measured values.
Rosetta performance differed by soil texture class.
Rosetta estimates were similar for modified centroid and measured particle size.
Models that require inputs of soil texture are often limited by the availability of soil information. While texture class is easier to obtain than particle size, texture classes do not represent the continuum of soil size fractions. Soil texture class and clay percentage are collected as a standard practice for many land management agencies (e.g., NRCS, BLM, FAO) and clay content is frequently estimated with acceptable accuracy (±5%). When clay and texture class is known, sand and silt can be constrained to a narrow range that may differ from the geometric centroid of a given texture class (gcent). I tested the concept of a modified centroid approach (mcent) using 75,736 soil samples from the National Cooperative Soil Survey pedon database that also had measured hydraulic soil properties. Comparisons were made using the Rosetta pedotransfer function (PTF) to test modeled values from gcent, mcent, and measured data in comparison with measured values of water content at field capacity (θ330) and wilting point (θ15000). The mcent approach produced a continuous distribution of values for sand and silt whereas gcent produced a stair‐step pattern for each of the 12 texture classes. Rosetta underestimated water content. Error metrics were similar when all texture classes were combined, but differences between models emerged when individual texture classes were compared. Results support the practice of collecting field estimates of clay percentage along with texture class to expand the use of soil profile data for both spatial and non‐spatial modeling of soil processes that will advance our understanding of soil contributions to ecosystem function.

Feast, Famine, and “Such Queer Things To Eat”: The Decline of Lily Bart
Authors: Navarro Lauren Christie 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Many American naturalist authors represent women focused not on nurturing and reproduction but rather on their own subsistence, willing to do anything to ensure their own survival. Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth offers an interesting counterpoint to the naturalist plot of decline, wherein men often starve to death. Within the critical field, there remains to consider not just Lily's immobility (or lack of social place), but what foodways can reveal to us about the downward trajectory of the plot of decline within the novel. Building on explorations of conspicuous consumption in The House of Mirth, this article suggests that the food and dining customs in the novel do in fact highlight female social conscription but also stand out against the home-centered exchange of sustenance. Reading the scenes of dining in the novel reveals the contrast between the imitative conspicuous consumption of society banquets and scenes of domestic dining in tranquil spaces. Examining Wharton's depiction of foodways more sharply and accurately reveals her views on consumer culture and the deterioration of the domestic home, along with women's changing role in American culture at the time.
Edith Wharton in Tel Aviv: The Curious Case of Undine Spragg
Authors: Evron Nir 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Coming out of my experiences teaching Wharton in Tel Aviv, this article puzzles over Undine Spragg's strong and ambivalent appeal to Israeli English students, and suggests possible explanations for it. Undine, I claim, speaks to the pragmatic, bottom-line mentality that broadly characterizes Israeli culture, while also exposing the (often unacknowledged) conservative commitments underlying the rather thin liberalism of the students, Palestinian and Jewish-Israeli alike.
