Agrometeorological Models for Forecasting Coffee Yield
Authors: de Oliveira Aparecido Lucas Eduardo , de Souza Rolim Glauco , Camargo Lamparelli Rubens Augusto , de Souza Paulo Sergio , dos Santos Eder Ribeiro 
Published: October 2016

Multiple linear regression can efficiently forecast crop yields related to climatic conditions.
We can forecast coffee yield at least 5 mo prior to harvesting.
An increase in T during vegetative growth was inversely proportional to coffee yield.
Coffee yield in southern Minas Gerais is controlled by all meteorological elements.
Coffee yield in Cerrado Mineiro is controlled by hydric conditions.

Some forecasting techniques have been tested with crop models using various statistical analyses for generating future scenarios of yield (Y). Forecasting, however, can be achieved by simply using regression analysis and carefully selecting independent variables (IVs) with time displacement relative to the dependent variable. The early forecasting of Y is the vanguard of agronomic modeling, promoting improvements in planning, allowing more rational strategic decisions, and increasing food and economic security. Climatic variables are the most important factors controlling the yield and quality of coffee (Coffea arabica L.). We calibrated and tested agrometeorological models to forecast the annual Y of coffee for six traditional producing regions in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We used multiple linear regressions, selecting IVs to maximize the period between the forecast of Y and the harvest for each locality. The IVs were monthly meteorological variables from 1997 to 2014: air temperature, rainfall, potential evapotranspiration, soil water storage, water deficit, and water surplus. The IVs were selected by testing all possible combinations in the domain and avoiding multicollinearity. The agrometeorological models were accurate for all regions, and the earliest forecasts were 6 and 5 mo before harvest for the producing locations of Guaxupé and Coromandel, respectively. The models for yield forecasting for Guaxupé included the water deficit in July and October and July precipitation for the high‐yield season and the water deficit in April and September and October precipitation for the low‐yield season. The models for yield forecasting for Coromandel included the November water surplus and February and September precipitation for the high‐yield season and precipitation for January, April, and October for the low‐yield season.
Application of the CSM–CERES–Wheat Model for Yield Prediction and Planting Date Evaluation at Guanzhong Plain in Northwest China

Published: October 2016

Core Ideas
CSM‐CERES‐Wheat model simulated different irrigation regimes under shield and field conditions.
Simulated and measured phenology, LAI, total biomass, and grain yield agreed well.
The model was not suitable as a tool to determine the optimum sowing date.
High density and medium irrigation was the best management practice for wheat.
Water is the most important limiting factor for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production on the Guanzhong Plain in Northwest China. It is important to develop water management practices by knowing when to irrigate and how much water should be applied. The impact of different irrigation conditions on crop production can be analyzed with crop simulation models. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the performance of the Cropping System Model (CSM)–CERES–Wheat model for simulating the impact of different irrigation regimes on winter wheat growth, development, and grain yield, and (ii) to determine the optimum sowing dates for irrigated and rainfed winter wheat grown under semiarid conditions using the CSM–CERES–Wheat model. Data were obtained from two experiments with three irrigation levels that were conducted under both field conditions and controlled conditions in a rain‐out shelter in Yangling, Shaanxi Province of China, during the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 growing seasons. The simulation results showed that the model performed well, as indicated by a close correspondence of simulated crop phenology, final aboveground biomass, leaf area index, and grain yield with observed data. The model was inaccurate in simulating winter wheat biomass under stressed conditions. The normalized root mean square error was <2% for phenology, 15.4% for final aboveground biomass, and 14.8% for grain yield. The sowing date analysis showed that a delayed sowing date from 7 September to 27 October caused a decrease in the average yield of 36.7% for all the rainfed and irrigated scenarios. The optimum sowing date was determined to be 7 October for the local farming system.

SummaryA 24‐year‐old male was scheduled for excision of a cerebellopontine angle tumour. The left internal jugular vein was cannulated preoperatively. The post procedure chest X‐ray showed the tip of the cannula in the left upper zone of the lung; however, blood could be freely aspirated and the transducer trace indicated a mean pressure of 5 mmHg. Blood gas analysis revealed a PaO2 of 13.6 kPa. Angiography confirmed the patients had partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with the tip of the catheter situated in the left upper pulmonary vein.

Use of intravenous methylene blue for catecholamine‐refractory vasoplegia during liver transplantation
Authors: Arachchige Nimali Lochanie Puwackwaththa , Abayadeera Anuja , Abrew Gitanjalee 
Published: October 2016

SummaryWe report a patient with catecholamine‐refractory vasoplegia who was successfully managed with intravenous methylene blue. A 22‐yr‐old female with primary hyperoxaluria underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. During the early dissection phase she remained haemodynamically stable. Towards the latter part of the dissection phase, her blood pressure decreased to around 60/25 mmHg and she became unresponsive to fluid therapy, conventional vasopressors and inotropes.However, she demonstrated a remarkable response to a bolus of intravenous methylene blue, 2 mg.kg‐1 administered over 20 min. She remained haemodynamically stable for the remainder of the procedure and was transferred to ICU with an intravenous methylene blue infusion running and minimal vasopressor requirements.Intravenous methylene blue seems a promising rescue treatment for refractory vasoplegia during liver transplantation. It competitively inhibits guanylase cyclase, thus responsiveness of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)‐mediated vasodilators such as nitric oxide (NO) is reduced, leading to improved vasomotor tone.
Tres revistas mexicanas de arquitectura. Portavoces de la modernidad, 1923-1950
Authors: Leidenberger Georg 
Published: October 2016

En este artículo se examinan el contenido textual y gráfico así como el entorno institucional de las tres principales revistas de arquitectura en México entre 1923 y 1950. Las coberturas de las revistas acerca del movimiento moderno de arquitectura se ligaron con las exigencias sociales, culturales y políticas del país en tiempos de la Revolución. A su vez, sus respectivas posturas dependían del marco institucional de cada publicación: El Arquitecto (1923-1933) fue cercana al gremio de arquitectos, Cemento/Tolteca (1925-1933), a la industria de la construcción, y Arquitectura-México (1938-1978), a una persona protagónica de la arquitectura nacional: Mario Pani. Las últimas dos revistas eran más proclives hacia la arquitectura moderna internacional que la primera. Este estudio hace hincapié en las características propias de la revista como un género del mundo editorial: sus enlaces con redes internacionales, sus tendencias diseminadoras y publicitarias y la importancia del mensaje visual junto con el textual.
James Joyce y Lucia Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Carl Gutsav Jung y el Wake
Authors: Del Conde Teresa 
Published: October 2016

Este ensayo plantea, dentro de un medio en el que las investigaciones lingüísticas tuvieron un auge sobre todo con el dadísmo, la posible influencia de Lucia Joyce en el Finnegans Wake, la obra póstuma de James Joyce. El ensayo crítico detecta con lucidez y sensibilidad los juegos de palabras a los que se abre la prosa abundante del Wake, mostrando así el enorme potencial asociativo de vocablos en el proceso mismo de la lectura y su reflejo en el intento de traducción que realizara el escritor mexicano, Salvador Elizondo. Además pone al descubierto el papel que desempeñaron personas allegadas a los Joyce como Samuel Beckett y Carl Gustav Jung. De esta forma, la trama constituye un complemento y revisión de la biografía de Carol Loeb Schloss.

Published: October 2016

Cette étude vise une meilleure connaissance des pratiques des jeunes afin de saisir leurs connaissances et comportements vis-à-vis du crowdfunding. L’échantillon comprend 435 étudiants (23,5 ans en moyenne). L’étude dévoile trois profils : « les crowdfunders actifs », « les crowdfunders potentiels » et « les non-intéressés ». Les résultats mettent également en avant de fortes singularités selon le genre. Ainsi les étudiants montrent un intérêt plus important pour les projets de type entrepreneuriaux alors que les étudiantes sont plus sensibles au financement d’actions humanitaires et civiles.
Contrôler pour la foule ?
Authors: Fasshauer Ingrid 
Published: October 2016

Le financement participatif, phénomène en plein essor, se positionne comme un moyen alternatif de financer les PME en faisant appel à la « foule », ensemble d’investisseurs non experts. Chargées par le législateur de donner des garanties à ces nouveaux investisseurs, les plateformes proposent des approches différenciées de la sélection et du suivi des entreprises financées en fonction du degré d’implication respectif des investisseurs et de la plateforme. À l’aide d’une étude de cas portant sur une plateforme d’equity-crowdfunding, cet article met en évidence les leviers de contrôle (Simons, 1995) pouvant être activés, mêlant valeurs et éléments financiers et permet de s’interroger sur le rôle d’intermédiaire de la plateforme et la réalité de la « définanciarisation » de l’évaluation (Bessière et Stéphany, 2014).
THE DISTANCE TO M104*

Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
M104 (NGC 4594; the Sombrero galaxy) is a nearby, well-studied elliptical galaxy included in scores of surveys focused on understanding the details of galaxy evolution. Despite the importance of observations of M104, a consensus distance has not yet been established. Here, we use newly obtained Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging to measure the distance to M104 based on the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method. Our measurement yields the distance to M104 to be 9.55 ± 0.13 ± 0.31 Mpc equivalent to a distance modulus of 29.90 ± 0.03 ± 0.07 mag. Our distance is an improvement over previous results as we use a well-calibrated, stable distance indicator, precision photometry in a optimally selected field of view, and a Bayesian maximum likelihood technique that reduces measurement uncertainties. The most discrepant previous results are due to Tully–Fisher method distances, which are likely inappropriate for M104 given its peculiar morphology and structure. Our results are part of a larger program to measure accurate distances to a sample of well-known spiral galaxies (including M51, M74, and M63) using the TRGB method.
THE MASS–METALLICITY RELATION FOR GIANT PLANETS
Authors: Thorngren Daniel P. , Fortney Jonathan J. , Murray-Clay Ruth A. , Lopez Eric D. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Exoplanet discoveries of recent years have provided a great deal of new data for studying the bulk compositions of giant planets. Here we identify 47 transiting giant planets (20 M
⊕ < M < 20 M
J) whose stellar insolations are low enough (F
* < 2 × 108 erg s−1 cm−2, or roughly T
eff < 1000) that they are not affected by the hot-Jupiter radius inflation mechanism(s). We compute a set of new thermal and structural evolution models and use these models in comparison with properties of the 47 transiting planets (mass, radius, age) to determine their heavy element masses. A clear correlation emerges between the planetary heavy element mass M

z
and the total planet mass, approximately of the form

. This finding is consistent with the core-accretion model of planet formation. We also study how stellar metallicity [Fe/H] affects planetary metal-enrichment and find a weaker correlation than has previously been reported from studies with smaller sample sizes. We confirm a strong relationship between the planetary metal-enrichment relative to the parent star Z
planet/Z
star and the planetary mass, but see no relation in Z
planet/Z
star with planet orbital properties or stellar mass. The large heavy element masses of many planets (>50 M
⊕) suggest significant amounts of heavy elements in H/He envelopes, rather than cores, such that metal-enriched giant planet atmospheres should be the rule. We also discuss a model of core-accretion planet formation in a one-dimensional disk and show that it agrees well with our derived relation between mass and Z
planet/Z
star.

Coastal lagoons are ecosystems of major importance as they host a number of species tolerant to disturbances and they are highly productive. Therefore, these ecosystems should be protected to ensure stability and resilience. The lagoons of Amvrakikos Gulf form one of the most important lagoonal complexes in Greece. The optimal ecological status of these lagoons is crucial for the well-being of the biodiversity and the economic prosperity of the local communities. Thus, monitoring of the area is necessary to detect possible sources of disturbance and restore stability.
The environmental variables and heavy metals concentrations, from five lagoons of Amvrakikos Gulf were measured from seasonal samplings and compared to the findings of previous studies in the area, in order to check for possible sources of disturbance. The analysis, showed that i) the values of the abiotic parameters vary with time (season), space (lagoon) and with space over time; ii) the variability of the environmental factors and enrichment in certain elements is naturally induced and no source of contamination is detected in the lagoons.
Guerre urbaine, opérations interagences et privatisation de l’action civilo-militaire américaine : l’Irak et au-delà
Authors: Bricet des Vallons Georges-Henri 
Published: October 2016

L’importance, inédite dans son ampleur, prise par les pratiques d’externalisation dans la politique américaine de reconstruction et de stabilisation de l’Irak, a fait des sociétés militaires et de sécurité privée un objet de réflexion de premier plan des études stratégiques internationales. Comprendre la portée véritable du phénomène impose de le replacer dans le cadre plus large du processus continu de privatisation des opérations américaines de maintien de la paix qui a cours depuis la fin de la Guerre froide. Le paradigme émergent des « opérations interagences » – qui définit l’intégration dans l’appareil de défense des agences de sécurité intérieure, des organisations non gouvernementales, des entreprises civiles et des firmes de sécurité – offre un outil théorique pour penser l’évolution historique de l’action civilo-militaire américaine dictée par l’apparition des Operations Other Than War et des Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain. L’analyse de ce système interagences à l’œuvre en Irak, au sein duquel le mercenariat entrepreneurial occupe une place centrale, est capitale pour appréhender les mutations profondes de l’identité stratégique américaine promues par la Global War on Terrorism.

Authors: Pérez-Alonso Alejandro J , Olmo-Rivas Carlos del , Machado-Romero Ignacio 
Published: October 2016

RESUMEN

Introducción
La fístula aorto-entérica (FAE) secundaria a prótesis endovascular, es una complicación infrecuente y de extrema gravedad que supone un reto diagnóstico.

Presentación del caso
se trata de un paciente que presentó bruscamente una hemorragia gastrointestinal alta que requirió la práctica urgente de pruebas complementarias que llevaron al diagnóstico de una colección a nivel retroduodenal con burbujas aéreas periprotésicas que apoyaban la existencia de una FAE secundaria.

Conclusión
Aunque el mecanismo exacto de la patogenia es desconocido por el momento, los factores mecánicos e infecciosos parecen ser las causas más frecuentes de esta complicación post-quirúrgica, siendo las teorías expuestas más aceptadas las infecciones bacterianas de la prótesis a nivel de la línea de grapas, daño en el intestino delgado durante la implantación, pseudoaneurismas, y úlceras intestinales.

AbstractAdipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) offer potential as a therapeutic option for clinical applications in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine because of their immunomodulatory functions and capacity for trilineage differentiation. In preparation for a phase I clinical trial using AMSCs to treat patients with osteoarthritis, we carried out preclinical studies to assess the safety of human AMSCs within the intra-articular joint space. Culture-expanded human AMSCs grown in human platelet-lysate were delivered via intra-articular injections into normal healthy rabbit knees and knees at risk for the development of osteoarthritis after bilateral medial anterior hemimeniscectomy. Treatment outcomes and safety were evaluated by assessing the general health, function, and behavior of the animals. Joint tissues were analyzed by x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathology. Intra-articular AMSC therapy was well tolerated in this study. We did not observe adverse systemic reactions, nor did we find evidence of damage to intra-articular joint tissues. Thus, the data generated in this study show a favorable safety profile for AMSCs within the joint space in support of a phase I clinical trial evaluating the clinical utility of AMSCs to treat osteoarthritis.
