Published: January 2017

Abstract
This study shows the use of time-domain (TD)-NMR transverse relaxation (T2) data and chemometrics in the nondestructive determination of fat content for powdered food samples such as commercial dried milk products. Most proposed NMR spectroscopy methods for measuring fat content correlate free induction decay or echo intensities with the sample's mass. The need for the sample's mass limits the analytical frequency of NMR determination, because weighing the samples is an additional step in this procedure. Therefore, the method proposed here is based on a multivariate model of T2 decay, measured with Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill pulse sequence and reference values of fat content. The TD-NMR spectroscopy method shows high correlation (r = 0.95) with the lipid content, determined by the standard extraction method of Bligh and Dyer. For comparison, fat content determination was also performed using a multivariate model with near-IR (NIR) spectroscopy, which is also a nondestructive method. The advantages of the proposed TD-NMR methodare that it (1) minimizes toxic residue generation, (2) performs measurements with high analytical frequency (a few seconds per analysis), and (3) does not require sample preparation (such as pelleting, needed for NIR spectroscopy analyses) or weighing the samples.

Changes in Triticum aestivum and Hordeum vulgare chlorophyll content and fluorescence parameters under impact of various sapropel concentrations
Authors: Klepeckas Martynas , Januškaitienė Irena 
Published: January 2017

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of sapropel of Tarosiškis Lake on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) photosynthesis parameters (the content of chlorophylls and chlorophyll fluorescence). Plants were sown in one-litre-volume pots by 10 seeds with light loamy soil and grown in growth chambers. Considering sapropel composition, 2.2, 3.1, and 4 t/ha dry sapropel concentrations were chosen for investigation. Sapropel-affected plants were compared with plants grown in unfertilized soils and soils fertilized with inorganic fertilizer. On day 14 of the experiment, when the plants reached the two-leaves development stage (BBCH 12), chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of the investigated plants were measured. Then the plants were grown for another four weeks and at the stem elongation stage (BBCH 31) chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured repeatedly, and the content of chlorophylls and carotenoids were measured as well. By increasing sapropel concentration in soil, the ratio Fv/Fm in wheat leaves increased (r = 0.97) significantly (p 0.05). Fv/Fm of barley followed the same tendency. By increasing sapropel concentration, the PI index value also increased for wheat (r = 0.4; p > 0.05) and barley (r = 0.82; p
Translating Machine or Creator? On Finnish-Swedish Community Interpreting in Sweden
Authors: Wande Erling 
Published: January 2017

The paper relates the objectives and preliminary results from a project on Finnish/Swedish community interpreting in Sweden, the so called FIKON-project at the Department of Finnish, Stockholm University (Swed. Finsk-svensk kontakttolkning i Sverige). A point of departure for the investigation are the ethical recommendations to interpreters formulated by the Swedish National Board of Trade, according to which the interpreter has to act neutrally and objectively. The data, deriving from 32 tape recordings in four different communicative settings (social insurance office, doctor/patient-conversation, consultation of diabetes nurse and courtroom proceedings), show a considerable deviation in the acting of the interpreters relative to the recommendations. A theoretical framework for an analysis of the data is the skopos theory.
Medium-transferability and corpora: Remarks from the consumer-end of corpus linguistics
Authors: Esser Jürgen 
Published: January 2017

A distinction is made between units and categories that are medium-independent (e.g. word class, noun phrase and clause) and those that are tied to the medium of realization. While the orthographic sentence is a typical highly conventionalised unit that is tied to the written medium, the tone unit is a typical unit of the spoken medium. There are, however, some problems related to this unit of realisation. Not only is the tone unit and its organisation into higher-level units subject to theoretical dispute, it also has a different status in speaking and reading respectively, which so far has been largely ignored in corpus linguistics.
¿La vuelta a los dos demonios? Cine y pasado reciente en Argentina: una lectura actual / The Return to the theory of two demons? Cinema and Recent Past in Argentina: a current reading
Authors: Zarco Julieta 
Published: January 2017

Este artículo indaga acerca de los tres “momentos de la memoria” (Zarco, 2016: 12-13), entendiendo con ello, el espacio, la puesta en agenda, la visibilidad, los límites y los alcances que los diferentes gobiernos han otorgado a la reconstrucción del pasado reciente argentino. Dependiendo de la estrategia memorística propuesta por cada gobierno, el cine tendrá mayor o menor apoyo estatal, implicando ello una mayor o menor repercusión de público. Para abordar las políticas de la memoria del actual gobierno argentino, se indaga acerca de lo que hemos denominado el cuarto momento de la memoria, “Vuelta a los dos demonios (2016-)” en el que se evidencia un regreso a la “teoría de los dos demonios”, ya planteada durante el gobierno de Alfonsín (1983-1989). This article focuses on the three "moments of memory" (Zarco, 2016: 12-13), meaning the space, the visibility and the limits that different governments have given to the reconstruction of Argentine recent past. Depending on the mnemonic strategy followed by each government, films productions have had more or less state support, thus implying greater or lesser public impact. To deal with the politics of memory of the current Argentine government, we must look into what we call the fourth moment of memory, "the return to the two demons (2016)", with the return to the "theory of the two demons ", already suggested during the government of Alfonsín (1983-1989).
Ficciones inesperadas en la narrativa testimonial concentracionaria española y argentina
Authors: Simón Paula 
Published: January 2017

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre las narrativas testimoniales concentracionarias de los siglos XX y XXI desde una perspectiva transnacional teniendo en cuenta dos de ellas: la escrita por los exiliados republicanos españoles en los campos de concentración franceses a partir de 1939 y la producida por los supervivientes de los centros de detención clandestinos en Argentina entre 1976 y 1983. El análisis de las estrategias de ficcionalización y de reelaboración estética de la experiencia permitirá actualizar debates aún vigentes en torno al testimonio: la relación entre estos y la verdad y las diferentes posturas que adoptan los autores acerca del lugar de la literatura en la búsqueda de caminos eficaces para relatar la experiencia traumática.

Authors: Patel Salma I. , Cherington Chad , Scherber Robyn , Barr Kathryn , McLemore Ryan , Morisky Donald E. , Cha Stephen , Mookadam Farouk , Shamoun Fadi 
Published: January 2017

Abstract

Context: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) may be as effective as, and at times safer than, warfarin. Because DOACs do not require regular serum level monitoring, patients’ interaction with the health care system may be reduced. To the authors’ knowledge, although studies have evaluated warfarin adherence, few studies have evaluated the real-world adherence to DOACs.

Objective: To evaluate whether a difference exists between medication adherence of patients taking DOACs vs patients taking warfarin.

Methods: The electronic medical records of the Anticoagulation Clinic database at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, were reviewed. Inclusion criteria were adults taking DOACs and a matching cohort taking warfarin between January 1, 2011, and December 30, 2013. The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 item, a validated medication adherence tool, was used to evaluate adherence in both cohorts, and the qualitative covariates were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression.

Results: Of 324 surveys that were sent, 110 patients (34.0%) responded. Most patients took DOACs for atrial fibrillation, and few took DOACs for venous thromboembolism. Overall, 60 of 66 patients (90.9%) in the DOAC group and 42 of 44 patients (95.5%) in the warfarin group reported medium or high adherence. Difference in adherence scores between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (P=.8).

Conclusion: Similar adherence was noted between DOACs and warfarin regardless of the frequency of serum level monitoring.

SbS (x = 0, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.40). For NiSbS, even in the metallic behavior, the power factor PF of NiSbS is 1.9 mW·K−2·m−1 at 300 K, which exceeds the high performance TE sulfide materials as tetrahedrites or colusites. For the Ni1−

SbS system, the residual electrical resistivity ρresidual increases. However, the thermopower S decreases in comparison with NiSbS. For density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the chemical potential μ for NiSbS is located at the edge of the pseudo-gap in the electronic density of states (DOS). Electronic structure μ is located at the peak of PF, as understood by the large transmission R(E) and ∂R(E)/∂E at Fermi energy E
F for NiSbS. For Co-substitution, μ shifts to the valley of PF from the peak, indicating the importance of electron filling control for TE properties.
Gait disorder as a predictor of spatial learning and memory impairment in aged mice
Authors: Wang Xin , Wang Qing M. , Meng Zhaoxiang , Yin Zhenglu , Luo Xun , Yu Duonan 
Published: January 2017

Objective
To investigate whether gait dysfunction is a predictor of severe spatial learning and memory impairment in aged mice.

Methods
A total of 100 12-month-old male mice that had no obvious abnormal motor ability and whose Morris water maze performances were not significantly different from those of two-month-old male mice were selected for the study. The selected aged mice were then divided into abnormal or normal gait groups according to the results from the quantitative gait assessment. Gaits of aged mice were defined as abnormal when the values of quantitative gait parameters were two standard deviations (SD) lower or higher than those of 2-month-old male mice. Gait parameters included stride length, variability of stride length, base of support, cadence, and average speed. After nine months, mice exhibiting severe spatial learning and memory impairment were separated from mice with mild or no cognitive dysfunction. The rate of severe spatial learning and memory impairment in the abnormal and normal gait groups was tested by a chi-square test and the correlation between gait dysfunction and decline in cognitive function was tested using a diagnostic test.

Results
The 12-month-old aged mice were divided into a normal gait group (n = 75) and an abnormal gait group (n = 25). Nine months later, three mice in the normal gait group and two mice in the abnormal gait group had died. The remaining mice were subjected to the Morris water maze again, and 17 out of 23 mice in the abnormal gait group had developed severe spatial learning and memory impairment, including six with stride length deficits, 15 with coefficient of variation (CV) in stride length, two with base of support (BOS) deficits, five with cadence dysfunction, and six with average speed deficits. In contrast, only 15 out of 72 mice in the normal gait group developed severe spatial learning and memory impairment. The rate of severe spatial learning and memory impairment was significantly higher in the abnormal gait group as compared to that in the normal gait group (x = 21.986, P < 0.001). All five parameters used to assess gait predicted severe spatial learning and memory impairment in aged mice (P < 0.01). However, the difference of the area under the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve for each quantitative gait parameter was not statistically significant.

Conclusion
Gait disorders are a predictor of severe spatial learning and memory impairment in aged mice, and stride length, variability of stride length, base of support, cadence, and average speed are all sensitive parameters for assessing gait.
Signature of magmatic processes in strainmeter records at Campi Flegrei (Italy)
Authors: Bagagli M. , Montagna C.P. , Papale P. , Longo A. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractVolcanic unrest at Campi Flegrei caldera, Southern Italy, is characterized by episodes of ground deformation, seismicity, and enhanced fumarolic activity; whether its origin is purely hydrothermal or magmatic is highly debated. We have identified ground deformation patterns in strainmeter records from a heightened unrest period in late 2006, closely resembling synthetic signals from numerical simulations of shallow magma chamber replenishment and mixing. Together with other recent findings, our results depict a situation whereby periodic arrivals of deep magma feed a shallow intrusion at 3–4 km depth. These results suggest that the analysis of strainmeter records, coupled with advanced numerical simulations of magma dynamics, could lead to new approaches in imaging subsurface dynamic processes in volcanic areas.
Divergent surface and total soil moisture projections under global warming
Authors: Berg Alexis , Sheffield Justin , Milly P. C. D. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractLand aridity has been projected to increase with global warming. Such projections are mostly based on off‐line aridity and drought metrics applied to climate model outputs but also are supported by climate‐model projections of decreased surface soil moisture. Here we comprehensively analyze soil moisture projections from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5, including surface, total, and layer‐by‐layer soil moisture. We identify a robust vertical gradient of projected mean soil moisture changes, with more negative changes near the surface. Some regions of the northern middle to high latitudes exhibit negative annual surface changes but positive total changes. We interpret this behavior in the context of seasonal changes in the surface water budget. This vertical pattern implies that the extensive drying predicted by off‐line drought metrics, while consistent with the projected decline in surface soil moisture, will tend to overestimate (negatively) changes in total soil water availability.

Published: December 2016

AbstractFor 200 days in 2016 while Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms D (THEMIS‐D) was in the dayside, equatorial magnetosphere, its electron energy coverage was modified such that the first 15 energy steps covered the range of 1–30 eV and 16 steps covered energies to 30 keV. These measurements were free of backgrounds from photoelectrons, secondaries, or ionospheric plasma plumes. Three energy bands of electrons were observed: cold electrons having energies below 1 eV (plasmaspheric plumes measured by the spacecraft potential); cool electrons, defined as electrons having energies of 1–25 eV; and hot electrons having energies of 25 eV to 30 keV. The cool electron fluxes at fixed radial distances varied by an order of magnitude from one orbit to the next. These fluxes often increased with increasing radial distance, suggesting an external source. They were extremely field aligned, having pitch angle ratios (flux at 0–20° and 160–180° divided by the flux at 80–100°) greater than 100. Evidence is presented that they resulted from cusp electrons moving from open to closed magnetospheric field lines due to their E × B/B2 drift. They constituted the majority of the electron energy density at such times and places. They were not associated with magnetopause reconnection because they were not observed at the magnetopause, but they were observed as far as 3 RE inside of it. Their occurrence probability in the outer magnetosphere was ~50% in June and ~10% in September, suggesting a dayside source attributed to the tilt of the northern cusp toward the Sun during the summer.
Impacts of the QBO on the North Atlantic and Mediterranean storm tracks: An energetic perspective
Authors: Asbaghi Ghorban , Joghataei Mohammad , Mohebalhojeh Ali R. 
Published: December 2016

AbstractImpacts of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) on the energetics of the North Atlantic and Mediterranean storm tracks are discussed. The daily National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis data for the period 1953–2015 are used to evaluate the spatial distribution of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) and the main factors involved in generation, conversion, and propagation of the EKE in the westerly and easterly phases of the QBO. Results are presented for both early and late winter to uncover intraseasonal variations of the impact. It is shown that the QBO exerts a marked influence on the Mediterranean storm track in early winter, which is of the same order of its impact on the North Atlantic storm track. Further, the impact on the Mediterranean storm track is rather local in early winter but more influenced by variations in the North Atlantic storm track in late winter.
