Objective—
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the atherometabolic syndrome exhibit a deadly dyslipoproteinemia that arises in part from impaired hepatic disposal of C-TRLs (cholesterol- and triglyceride-rich remnant apoB [apolipoprotein B] lipoproteins). We previously identified syndecan-1 as a receptor for C-TRLs that directly mediates endocytosis via rafts, independent from coated pits. Caveolins and flotillins form rafts but facilitate distinct endocytotic pathways. We now investigated their participation in syndecan-1–mediated disposal of C-TRLs and their expression in T2DM liver.

Approach and Results—

In cultured liver cells and nondiabetic murine livers, we found that syndecan-1 coimmunoprecipitates with FLOT1 (flotillin-1) but not with CAV1 (caveolin-1). Binding of C-TRLs to syndecan-1 on the surface of liver cells enhanced syndecan-1/FLOT1 association. The 2 molecules then trafficked together into the lysosomes, implying limited if any recycling back to the cell surface. The interaction requires the transmembrane/cytoplasmic region of syndecan-1 and the N-terminal hydrophobic domain of FLOT1. Knockdown of FLOT1 in cultured liver cells substantially inhibited syndecan-1 endocytosis. Livers from obese, T2DM KK

An adenoviral construct to enhance hepatic expression of wild-type FLOT1 in T2DM mice normalized plasma triglycerides, whereas a mutant FLOT1 missing its N-terminal hydrophobic domain had no effect. Moreover, the adenoviral vector for wild-type FLOT1 lowered plasma triglyceride excursions and normalized retinyl excursions in T2DM KK

Conclusions—
FLOT1 is a novel participant in the disposal of harmful C-TRLs via syndecan-1. Low expression of FLOT1 in T2DM liver may contribute to metabolic dyslipoproteinemia.
An Evaluation of NDFD Weather Forecasts for Wildland Fire Behavior Prediction
Authors: Page Wesley G. , Wagenbrenner Natalie S. , Butler Bret W. , Forthofer Jason M. , Gibson Chris 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Wildland fire managers in the United States currently utilize the gridded forecasts from the National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) to make fire behavior predictions across complex landscapes during large wildfires. However, little is known about the NDFDs performance in remote locations with complex topography for weather variables important for fire behavior prediction, including air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. In this study NDFD forecasts for calendar year 2015 were evaluated in fire-prone locations across the conterminous United States during periods with the potential for active fire spread using the model performance statistics of root-mean-square error (RMSE), mean fractional bias (MFB), and mean bias error (MBE). Results indicated that NDFD forecasts of air temperature and relative humidity performed well with RMSEs of about 2°C and 10%–11%, respectively. However, wind speed was increasingly underpredicted when observed wind speeds exceeded about 4 m s−1, with MFB and MBE values of approximately −15% and −0.5 m s−1, respectively. The importance of accurate wind speed forecasts in terms of fire behavior prediction was confirmed, and the forecast accuracies needed to achieve “good” surface head fire rate-of-spread predictions were estimated as ±20%–30% of the observed wind speed. Weather station location, the specific forecast office, and terrain complexity had the largest impacts on wind speed forecast error, although the relatively low variance explained by the model (~37%) suggests that other variables are likely to be important. Based on these results it is suggested that wildland fire managers should use caution when utilizing the NDFD wind speed forecasts if high wind speed events are anticipated.

Abstract
Background
Diabetic patients may be more susceptible to myocardial injury after coronary interventions. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the release of cardiac biomarkers, CK-MB and troponin, and the findings of new late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after elective revascularization procedures for multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods
Patients with multivessel CAD and preserved systolic ventricular function underwent either elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), off-pump or on-pump bypass surgery (CABG). Troponin and CK-MB were systematically collected at baseline, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h after the procedures. CMR with LGE was performed before and after the interventions. Patients were stratified according to diabetes status at study entry. Biomarkers and CMR results were compared between diabetic and nondiabetics patients. Analyses of correlation were also performed among glycemic and glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels and troponin and CK-MB peak levels. Patients were also stratified into tertiles of fasting glycemia and A1c levels and were compared in terms of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) on CMR.

Results
Ninety (44.5%) of the 202 patients had diabetes mellitus at study entry. After interventions, median peak troponin was 2.18 (0.47, 5.14) and 2.24 (0.69, 5.42) ng/mL (P = 0.81), and median peak CK-MB was 14.1 (6.8, 31.7) and 14.0 (4.2, 29.8) ng/mL (P = 0.43), in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, respectively. The release of troponin and CK-MB over time was statistically similar in both groups and in the three treatments, besides PCI. New LGE on CMR indicated that new myocardial fibrosis was present in 18.9 and 17.3% (P = 0.91), and myocardial edema in 15.5 and 22.9% (P = 0.39) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, respectively. The incidence of PMI in the glycemia tertiles was 17.9% versus 19.3% versus 18.7% (P = 0.98), and in the A1c tertiles was 19.1% versus 13.3% versus 22.2% (P = 0.88).

Conclusions
In this study, diabetes mellitus did not add risk of myocardial injury after revascularization interventions in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.

Family-Professional Partnerships in Postsecondary Education Programs: Perceptions of Professionals
Authors: Francis Grace L. , Stride Ashley , Reed Sascha , Chiu Chun-Yu 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Students with intellectual disability are among the least likely to gain competitive employment, live away from their families, or attend college following high school. While family-professional partnerships can facilitate positive transitions from school into adult life among students with disabilities, professionals report being unsure of how to develop positive relationships with families. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perspectives and experiences of postsecondary education (PSE) program staff as they work with families of students enrolled in the program. Twenty-three PSE staff participated in interviews or focus groups to share information about (a) barriers to family-professional partnerships, (b) positive experiences related to family-professional partnerships, and (c) family-professional partnership strategies. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
Drawing-acts and the activity of designing
Authors: Bradford Mark 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Creative practice in the Japanese martial art of Aikidō involves constantly reassessing one’s situation and priorities by blending with, and maintaining control of, relational interactions to generate collaborative strategies from a variety of positions. This article describes how, as a design researcher, drawing-acts enabled me to conceptualize the co-creative possibilities of Aikidō movement practices. This design-led ethnography combined autoethnography and visual ethnography to explore the process of design drawing to visualize my lived experience, and the drawing of design (practice) as a way of documenting my experiences of movement. Drawings are not just lines: over time drawing-acts illuminated how Aikidō movement practices are a way of leading – designing – co-creative relationships between people within collective creativity.
Some atmospheric meditations on time and drawing

Published: November 2017

Abstract
The considerations put forth in this paper are part of ongoing and yet-to be-resolved research about the possibilities of thinking, imagining and visualizing the atmospheric conditions of a given site using the basic elements of representation: points, lines and colours. Moreover, this article seeks to introduce certain ideas about time from a non-linear perspective, which are implicit in my thinking as well as in my work and the way I have chosen to draw.
The affirmation of social class in the drawings of Sally Taylor
Authors: Corby Vanessa 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The drawings of British artist Sally Taylor (1977) are composed of heads of various descriptions; blockheads, confused heads, hysterical heads, heads with mouths and heads without, heads full of menace and heads full of glee. The pressure of these recurring motifs, which emerge from as many as 200 drawings a day, mark out Taylor’s practice as an active negotiation of repetition and difference. Norman Bryson famously characterized drawing as an act that resists the finality of the image to instead suspend a moment of ‘becoming’ (Bryson 2010: 150). The nuanced consistency of Taylor’s prolific output exemplifies Bryson’s understanding of the medium. What interests me here, however, are the performative aesthetic and material operations that make these drawings call to one another and their audience. The aim of this article is to consider the inextricable relationship between form and content in the works Taylor exhibited in That Head That Head at the Rabley Drawing Centre, Wiltshire (26 September – 29 October 2016). To do so, I argue, is to situate their aesthetic as a negotiation and transformation of the social politics of making art in the Great Britain at the beginning in the twenty-first century.

Abstract
In horses, multiple ovulation resulting in implantation of multiple embryos is adverse. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying initiation of multiple ovulation (MO) is advantageous and is related to an increase in efficiency of embryo transfer techniques. It has been postulated that MO may have a genetic background. Two major genes: bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) and growth and differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) are considered to play a crucial role in folliculogenesis and controlling the ovulation rate. Thus, the aim of the presented study was to identify the variation within equine BMP15 and GDF9 genes to verify their potential role on spontaneous, repetitive multiple ovulations in mares. In addition, variation screening of investigated genes in population of Thoroughbred and Arabian breeds was performed together with establishment of transcript abundance of BMP15 and GDF9 genes in equine ovarian tissue. Sanger sequencing of Arabian and Thoroughbred mares divided according to ovulation rate, revealed occurrence of 3 SNPs in BMP15 and STS in GDF9 genes. The PCR-RLFP and statistical analysis indicated that none of the genotype frequencies were significant in any breeds and none of them were claimed as functional according to ovulation rate. Furthermore, evaluation of transcript abundance by RT -PCR of both genes in ovarian tissues showed that expression of both genes was similar but GDF9 was significantly expressed in growing follicles with 21-30 mm diameter and in ovarian parenchyma, which suggest their potential role in folliculogenesis.
An Empirical Examination of Risk Premiums in the Indian Currency Futures Market
Authors: Kumar Satish 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we examine whether risk premiums are significant in explaining the deviations from the uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) condition in an emerging Indian currency futures market. In particular, we explore the unbiasedness of futures quotes as a predictor of the future spot exchange rate to understand the forward premium anomaly condition. We report huge deviations from the UIP condition for all currencies considered and show that these deviations are explained by the risk premium. The realized risk premiums for all currencies are found to be negative and significantly different from zero, which suggests that investors are awarded for taking short positions in the foreign currency. The realized risk premiums in turn are found to be negatively related to the current spot rate returns and positively to the futures premium, conditional variance of spot rate returns, and the dividend yield.
Studies on the materials and manufacturing technology of the murals unearthed at Shimao Site in Shenmu County, Shaanxi

Published: November 2017

AbstractThis paper presents preliminary scientific analytical results and discussion on the murals unearthed at the Shimao Site in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province. The murals were composed of pigment layer, plaster base layer and daub layer. The pigments used include hematite, goethite, glauconite and carbon black. Same with the floor plaster layer of the house foundations in the site, the plaster layer of murals is made of calcium carbonate. For the painting procedure, a draft had firstly been designed by engraved lines, and then the murals were painted with various pigments. A tentative comparative study shows that the manufacturing technology and painting techniques of the Shimao mural are similar to that of the murals of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It indicates that the fundamental manufacturing technology of mural had probably been established in the Erlitou Period at latest, which was just followed and enriched over the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Published: November 2017

AbstractLarge-scale conglomerate fan-delta aprons were typical deposits on the slope of Mahu Depression during the Early Triassic. Without outcrops, it is difficult to study the lithofacies only by examining the limited cores from the main oil-bearing interval of the Baikouquan Formation. Borehole electrical imaging log provides abundant high-resolution geologic information that is obtainable only from real rocks previously. Referring to the lithology and sedimentary structure of cores, a case study of fan-deltas in the Lower Triassic Baikouquan Formation of the Mahu Depression presents a methodology for interpreting the complicated lithofacies utilizing borehole electrical images. Eleven types of lithologies and five types of sedimentary structures are summarized in borehole electrical images. The sediments are fining upward from gravel to silt and clay in the Baikouquan Formation. Fine-pebbles and granules are the main deposits in T
Multi Objective Optimization of a Methane Steam Reforming Reaction in a Membrane Reactor: Considering the Potential Catalyst Deactivation due to the Hydrogen Removal
Authors: Alavi Marjan , Eslamloueyan Reza , Rahimpour Mohammad Reza 
Published: November 2017

AbstractSteam reforming of methane (SRM) is an important stage of hydrogen production. Using a membrane reactor (MR) to separate the produced H2positively affects CH4conversion by shifting the equilibrium. This H2removal increases the risk of coke formation in the process. In this study, the influence of different parameters such as Damkohler’s number (Da) and permeation number (θ) on CH4conversion and H2recovery are investigated. In order to find the optimum condition for this MR in which CH4conversion, H2Recovery are maximized and the risk of coke formation is minimized, the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is employed to achieve the Pareto front in a three objective space. The single optimal solution is selected from Pareto front by TOPSIS decision making method. In the optimized condition methane conversion and hydrogen recovery are improved about 19.8% an 6.8%, respectively. Also, the risk of coke formation in the MR is reduced.
Alternative Policy Responses to Increased Use of Formula Pricing
Authors: Brorsen B. Wade , Fain James R. , Maples Joshua G. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This article determines the potential effects of policies to address concerns about lower producer prices due to increased use of marketing agreements. Policies considered are banning alternative marketing agreements, compensating producers who sell on the cash market, and restricting the quantity of marketing agreements. We use an agent-based model in a common-value auction framework to analyze these policies. The common-value auction framework is used because it closely resembles how livestock are actually purchased. The agent-based model is used to find the common-value auction equilibrium. A ban on marketing agreements reduces social welfare and the other policy interventions have little effect on prices. Past theoretical studies predict marketing agreements will cause large reductions in prices paid to producers. Conversely, empirical studies show slight effects. This article offers an alternative theory that more closely matches livestock markets and our results reduce the gap between theoretical and empirical research. The common-value auction model predicts negative effects on producer prices close to those found in past empirical research.
Particle Swarm Optimization-Enhanced Twin Support Vector Regression for Wind Speed Forecasting
Authors: Houssein Essam H. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Wind energy is considered one of the renewable energy sources that minimize the cost of electricity production. This article proposes a hybrid approach based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and twin support vector regression (TSVR) for forecasting wind speed (PSO-TSVR). To enhance the forecasting accuracy, TSVR was utilized to forecast the wind speed, and the optimal settings of TSVR parameters were optimized by PSO carefully. Moreover, to estimate the performance of the suggested approach, three wind speed benchmark data of OpenEI were used as a case study. The experimental results revealed that the optimized PSO-TSVR approach is able to forecast wind speed with an accuracy of 98.9%. Further, the PSO-TSVR approach has been compared with two well-known algorithms such as genetic algorithm with TSVR and the native TSVR using radial basis kernel function. The computational results proved that the proposed approach achieved better forecasting accuracy and outperformed the comparison algorithms.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
The development of a GIS model that includes both information on real estate cadaster and water supply networks is an efficient one. The paper presents the stages of making such a model, starting from field measurements, to structuring the database and custom layouts. Today’s large volume of data requires information to be centralized into tables that are then attached to graphical entities. In the analysis it was considered that the main components of the real estate cadaster system are the field, the parcel, the owner, and for the water supply network distribution networks, hydrants and manhole. GIS programs aim to specifying properties on custom layouts on structural and functional areas. Autocad and ArcMap software allow you to get themed maps on specific system domains. The study model can be simple to complex and can be generalized for any hydro-urban system (urban localities, rural localities, industrial areas, etc.).
Elements of Evolution of the Relations Between the Soils and the Climate in the Territory Between Prut and Nistru in the Context of Climatic Changes and Natural - Antropic Pedogenesis
Authors: Jigău Gheorghe , Blidari Anton , Borș Natalia , Bîrsan Ana 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The evolution of climate during the seventy-year cycle (1946-2016) led to the shaping, in the region, of two parallel trends of the evolution of the soil cover: a) in the sense of aridization; b) in the sense of humidification. These are due to the contouring of an alternation of drought and humid and relatively damp years in the 11-year climate cycle. According to calculations, 5 of them are humid or relatively damp and 6 are dry or relatively dry. Research shows that the climatic environment in the phase of modification leads to the simultaneous development of processes of both aridization of several spaces and hydromorphism of other. This situation shows different stability of the soil cover components in the region to climate change under natural-anthropogenic chernozem conditions. This particularity of soil development is to be taken into account both in pedological studies and in the framework of Regional Strategies and Programs for Adaptation to Climate Change.
