Published: February 2017

The inability to incorporate broiler litter (BL) into permanent hayfields and pastures leads to nutrient accumulation near the soil surface and increases the potential transport of nutrients in runoff. This study was conducted on Marietta silt loam soil to determine the effect of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum and lignite on P, N, C, and microbial concentrations in runoff. Treatments were (i) control (unfertilized) and (ii) BL at 13.4 Mg ha−1 alone or (iii) treated with either FGD gypsum or lignite applied at 20% (w/w) (2.68 Mg ha−1). Rainfall simulators were used to produce a 5.6 cm h−1 storm event sufficient in duration to cause 15 min of continuous runoff. Repeated rains were applied at 3‐d intervals to determine how long FGD gypsum and lignite are effective in reducing loss of litter‐derived N, P, and C from soil. Application of BL increased N, P, and C concentrations in runoff as compared to the control. Addition of FGD gypsum reduced (P < 0.05) water‐soluble P and dissolved organic C concentrations in runoff by 39 and 16%, respectively, as compared to BL alone. Lignite reduced runoff total N and NH4–N concentrations by 38 and 70%, respectively, as compared to BL alone. Addition of FGD gypsum or lignite failed to significantly reduce microbial loads in runoff, although both treatments reduced microbial concentration by >20%. Thus, BL treated with FGD and lignite can be considered as cost‐effective management practices in the mitigation of P, N, and C and possibly microbial concentration in runoff.Core Ideas
Lignite reduces runoff N.
FGD gypsum protects dissolved organic C and water soluble P from loss in runoff water.
Lignite application improved nitrogen efficiency.

Published: February 2017

Phosphorus (P) losses from agricultural soils impair the quality of receiving surface waters by enhancing eutrophication. This study tested the potential of using sediment from agricultural constructed wetlands (CWs) to immobilize soil P using two soils differing in texture and soil test P (STP). A silty clay soil (SIC) with high STP (24 mg ammonium acetate–extractable P [PAc] L−1) and a sandy loam soil (SL) with excessive STP (210 mg PAc L−1) were incubated with increasing amounts of clayey CW sediment. The soil–sediment mixtures were studied with the quantity/intensity (Q/I) technique, using chemical extractions, and by exposing the mixtures to simulated rainfall. In both Q/I and simulated rainfall tests, P solubility steadily decreased with increasing sediment proportion in the mixtures. However, in chemical extractions this effect was observed only at high sediment addition rates (10 or 50% [v/v] sediment). At a practically feasible sediment addition rate of 5%, dissolved reactive P (DRP) in percolating water from simulated rainfall decreased by 55% in SIC and by 54% in SL (p < 0.001 in both cases). Particulate P (PP) also showed a decreasing trend with increasing sediment addition rate. Upon prolonged simulated rainfall, the decreasing effect of sediment on DRP and PP declined somewhat. The effects of sediment addition can be attributed partly to increased salt concentrations in the sediment, which have a short‐term effect on P mobilization, but mostly to increased concentrations of Al and Fe (hydr)oxides, increasing long‐term P sorption capacity. Adding CW sediment at a rate of up to 5% of surface soil volume to soils could provide an alternative to chemical treatment (e.g., with metal salts) for immobilizing P in small, high‐risk P leaching areas, such as around drinking troughs in pastures.Core Ideas
We amended soil with increasing amounts of clayey constructed wetland sediment.
High soil test P was immobilized by the sediment in simulated rainfall.
Dissolved reactive P in percolating water was reduced with increasing sediment addition.
Prolonged rainfall declined the effect of sediment on DRP and PP.
Recommended rate of sediment application is 5 vol. %.

Abstract: Developing a Model of a Science Practicum for Blind Students Through the Constructivist Approach and Its Application in the Inclusive Education. This study aims to develop a model of a science practicum for blind students through the constructivist approach for both schools running inclusive education and those for the handicapped. The research stages included: (1) developing practicum devices for realistic science, i.e. voice equipment, (2) developing a practicum model using the constructivist approach, and (3) developing an evaluation model for the sclence learning process and product. The study employed a spiral model by Cennamo and Kalk (2005:6), consisting of (1) definition, (2) design, (3) demonstration, (4) development, and (5) presentation. The products include: (1) voice equipment to measure temperature and electricity voltage that the students use in the science practicum, (2) a realistic practicum model that motivates and trains the students to be active and autonomous as suggested by the constructivist approach, and (3) the improvement of the students’ discussion activities based on the eveluation model.

Abstract
We present the Late-Type Extension to the Motion Verified Red Stars (LaTE-MoVeRS) catalog, containing 46,463 photometric late-type (>M5) dwarfs within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint. Proper motions were computed for objects combining astrometry from the SDSS Data Release 12 (DR12), the Two-micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) AllWISE data sets. LaTE-MoVeRS objects were required to have significant proper motion (

). Using the LaTE-MoVeRS sample and Gaia Data Release 1, we estimate Gaia will be ∼64% complete for very low-mass objects (>M5) in comparison to the combined SDSS+2MASS+WISE data set (

). We computed photometric distances and estimated stellar effective temperatures for the LaTE-MoVeRS catalog. The majority of the dwarfs in the sample have distances

pc and

K. Thirteen objects that have not been previously identified as nearby objects were identified within LaTE-MoVeRS with estimated photometric distances within 25 pc. We also identified one new object that has not been previously identified with a large amount of excess mid-infrared flux (2MASS J11151597+1937266). This object appears to be an L2γ at ∼50 pc showing spectroscopic signs of a flaring event (e.g., strong hydrogen Balmer emission lines). This object does not exhibit kinematics similar to any known kinematic association. The LaTE-MoVeRS catalog is available through SDSS CasJobs and VizieR.

Abstract
We present spatial correlations of galaxies and IGM neutral hydrogen H i in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA 1.62 deg2 field. Our data consist of 13,415 photo-z galaxies at z ∼ 2–3 with

and the Lyα forest absorption lines in the background quasar spectra selected from SDSS data with no signature of damped Lyα system contamination. We estimate a galaxy overdensity δ
gal in an impact parameter of 2.5 (proper) Mpc, and calculate the Lyα forest fluctuations

whose negative values correspond to the strong Lyα forest absorption lines. We identify weak evidence of an anti-correlation between δ
gal and

with a Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient of −0.39 suggesting that the galaxy overdensities and the Lyα forest absorption lines positively correlate in space at the ∼90% confidence level. This positive correlation indicates that high-z galaxies exist around an excess of H i gas in the Lyα forest. We find four cosmic volumes, dubbed A
obs, B
obs, C
obs, and D
obs, that have extremely large (small) values of δ
gal ≃ 0.8 (−1) and

, three of which, B
obs–D
obs, significantly depart from the δ
gal–

correlation, and weaken the correlation signal. We perform cosmological hydrodynamical simulations and compare with our observational results. Our simulations reproduce the δ
gal–

correlation, agreeing with the observational results. Moreover, our simulations have model counterparts of A
obs–D
obs, and suggest that the observations pinpoint, by chance, a galaxy overdensity like a proto-cluster, gas filaments lying on the quasar sightline, a large void, and orthogonal low-density filaments. Our simulations indicate that the significant departures of B
obs–D
obs are produced by the filamentary large-scale structures and the observation sightline effects.

Published: February 2017

Abstract
We investigate the angular momentum evolution of four disk galaxies residing in Milky-Way–sized halos formed in cosmological zoom-in simulations with various sub-grid physics and merging histories. We decompose these galaxies, kinematically and photometrically, into their disk and bulge components. The simulated galaxies and their components lie on the observed sequences in the j
*–M
* diagram, relating the specific angular momentum and mass of the stellar component. We find that galaxies in low-density environments follow the relation

past major mergers, with

in the case of strong feedback, when bulge-to-disk ratios are relatively constant, and

in the other cases, when secular processes operate on shorter timescales. We compute the retention factors (i.e., the ratio of the specific angular momenta of stars and dark matter) for both disks and bulges and show that they vary relatively slowly after averaging over numerous but brief fluctuations. For disks, the retention factors are usually close to unity, while for bulges, they are a few times smaller. Our simulations therefore indicate that galaxies and their halos grow in a quasi-homologous way.

Objective.To determine the association between fasciitis and the clinical variables in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM).Methods.We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 32 patients (24 DM, 8 PM) with newly diagnosed DM and PM and in whom fascia and muscle specimens were histopathologically examined. The relationship between fasciitis and the clinical variables was statistically analyzed. These included age, sex, myalgia, muscle weakness, creatine kinase (CK) and aldolase activities, anti-Jo1 antibody, interstitial lung disease, and malignancy.Results.Twenty (62.5%) of the 32 patients who underwent the histopathological examination of a fascia specimen had fasciitis, including 18 (75%) of 24 patients with DM and 2 (25%) of 8 patients with PM. The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among the patients with DM than among the patients with PM (p < 0.05). Histopathologically, fasciitis in PM was very mild in comparison to that in DM. The frequency of myalgia in patients with fasciitis was significantly higher than that in patients without fasciitis (p < 0.05). However, myalgia was not associated with myositis. There were no significant differences in the patients with and without fasciitis in age, sex, manual muscle test 8 scores, CK or aldolase activities, or the presence of anti-Jo1 antibodies and malignancy.Conclusion.The frequency of fasciitis was significantly higher among patients with DM than among those with PM. Fasciitis, rather than myositis, was associated with myalgia.

Les espaces de discussion sur Internet comme dépassement des communautarismes ? Le cas de l’agora virtuelle libanaise.
Authors: Chaker Rawad 
Published: February 2017

La question des identités et des communautarismes n’aura jamais été, durant notre histoire contemporaine, aussi prégnante qu’aujourd’hui. Cet article se penche sur l’enjeu des espaces de discussion sur Internet et de ses effets sur la nature des interactions en ligne dans un contexte marqué par le communautarisme. L’école pourrait-elle enseigner la citoyenneté grâce aux outils numériques de communication et d’information ? Nous tentons ici de mettre la lumière sur les effets d’éloignement ou de rapprochement communautaire que ce type d’échange permet d’observer. Nous nous posons la question de savoir si l’agora virtuelle s’inscrit dans un paradigme potentiel d’espace public démocratique, ce qui le positionnerait alors dans le débat public plus général sur Internet et les enjeux éducatifs et citoyens. Nous mobilisons le régime de la cité civique tiré de la théorie des Économies de la Grandeur comme matrice méthodologique afin d’analyser un espace d’échange électronique sur 6 sites d’information libanais, qui relèvent typiquement d’un contexte marqué par le morcellement politique et communautaire.

Abstract
Polymorphisms located within the MHC have been linked to many disease outcomes by mechanisms not yet fully understood in most cases. Variants located within untranslated regions of HLA genes are involved in allele-specific expression and may therefore underlie some of these disease associations. We determined sequences extending nearly 2 kb upstream of the transcription start site for 68 alleles from 57 major lineages of classical HLA class I genes. The nucleotide diversity within this promoter segment roughly follows that seen within the coding regions, with HLA-B showing the highest (∼1.9%), followed by HLA-A (∼1.8%), and HLA-C showing the lowest diversity (∼0.9%). Despite its greater diversity, HLA-B mRNA expression levels determined in 178 European Americans do not vary in an allele- or lineage-specific manner, unlike the differential expression levels of HLA-A or HLA-C reported previously. Close proximity of promoter sequences in phylogenetic trees is roughly reflected by similarity of expression pattern for most HLA-A and -C loci. Although promoter sequence divergence might impact promoter activity, we observed no clear link between the phylogenetic structures as represented by pairwise nucleotide differences in the promoter regions with estimated differences in mRNA expression levels for the classical class I loci. Further, no pair of class I loci showed coordinated expression levels, suggesting that distinct mechanisms across loci determine their expression level under nonstimulated conditions. These data serve as a foundation for more in-depth analysis of the functional consequences of promoter region variation within the classical HLA class I loci.
Comparison of in vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Outcomes in Patients receiving Recombinant Human Luteinizing Hormone vs Human Menopausal Gonadotropin Supplementation

Published: February 2017

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo compare the outcome of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (rh-LH) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) supplementation in women undergoingin vitrofertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the long gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) agonist stimulation protocol.Materials and methodsIt was a retrospective analysis of the case records of 90 consecutive women who underwent nondonor IVF/ICSI cycle with long GnRH agonist. All women received recombinant FSH on day 2/3 of the programming cycle. When the level of LH was < 0.5 mIU/mL during any phase of stimulation, then addition of LH either as rh-LH or hMG is given along with recombinant FSH.ResultsThe number of oocytes collected, the number of oocytes in metaphase II (MII), and fertilization rate were similar in both groups. In addition, the mean number of embryos produced per cycle and the mean number of frozen embryos per cycle were similar in both groups. The cost of gonadotropin is similar in both groups. The ongoing pregnancy rate at 12 weeks was 20.4% after rh-FSH + hMG and 29.2% after rh-FSH + rh-LH (p-value = 0.092).ConclusionSupplementing recombinant FSH with recombinant LH (rh-LH) when compared with hMG does not show statistically significant increase in pregnancy rates. However, this study was a pilot venture to introduce the rh-LH into our practice and further randomized study is required to substantiate its use in assistive reproductive technology.How to cite this articleUsha Rajinikanthan DB, Balasubramanyam S, Varma T.

The Relationship between Work Motivation, Burnout and Intention to Leave for the Top Level Managers of Garment Industry (A Case Study of Indian Garment Industry)
Authors: Qureshi Seema 
Published: February 2017

Managers play an important role in organizations. They are the persons who formulate and implement policies, plans etc in the organization. Managers are the first to be contacted for suggestions with regard to overall information about the organization. Taking into consideration the importance of managers in the organization and a critical review of literature which revealed that the study on work motivation, burnout and intention to leave has not been conducted so far on the top level managers of garment industry of Delhi and NCR, the researcher found a gap to be filled by conducting investigation on this sample for the variables in question. So the sample of the present study consists of top level managers of garment industry of Delhi and NCR. Thus, a convenient sampling method was used for drawing the sample from 60 garment export houses of Delhi and 40 of NCR. This paper gives a deep insight of work motivation, burnout and intention to leave for the top level managers of the garment industry of Delhi/NCR. In this paper we have checked the relationship of all dimensions of work motivation with the dimensions of burnout and intention to leave and have observed that all dimensions of work motivation have some more or less relationship with each dimension of burnout but neither of the dimensions of work motivation or total work motivation have any relationship with intention to leave. So even if top level managers leave their current job they don’t leave because of lack of work motivation.
Les « Cahiers de lecture » (1963-1986)

Published: February 2017

Trois « Cahiers de lecture » d’André Belleau sont conservés au Service des archives et de gestion des documents de l’Université du Québec à Montréal, où il a enseigné de 1969 à sa mort en 1986. Sauf pour des extraits parus en 1995, ces textes, qui comptent un peu plus de soixante mille mots, sont inédits. Quelques semaines ou mois avant de mourir, Belleau a relu les notes qu’il avait rassemblées depuis 1963. Il ne les a pas réorganisées, réécrites, transformées en profondeur, mais il a voulu s’y replonger et y laisser la trace, difficilement, d’une (re)lecture. Corrigeant, précisant, proposant des renvois, un auteur-lecteur arrêtait son texte une dernière fois. Pour lui-même ? Pour d’autres ? Mais qu’est-ce que ces « Cahiers » ? Quelle place occupent-ils par rapport aux publications, études ou essais, d’André Belleau ? Que révèlent-ils de l’atelier de l’écrivain ? C’est à ces questions que l’article s’attache à répondre.
