Point‐of‐care management of fulminant hyperfibrinolysis in the Emergency Department after hanging trauma
Authors: Giordano Stefano , Spiezia Luca , Casacanditella Graziana , Pizziol Alessandra , Simioni Paolo 
Published: October 2016

SummaryFulminant hyperfibrinolysis has a mortality rate of 80‐100% and requires early treatment with anti‐fibrinolytics and fibrinogen. In cases of major trauma, rapid coagulation assessment and control are fundamental to successful patient management. Standard laboratory coagulation tests take time and are insufficient in describing Trauma‐Induced Coagulopathy. Point‐Of‐Care (POC) tests such as ROTEM® (rotational thromboelastometry) and MULTIPLATE® (impedance aggregometry) can overcome these limitations and are effective as a guide to coagulation status and requirements for transfusion support. We report the successful POC management of fulminant hyperfibrinolysis after a hanging trauma in a man admitted to the Emergency Department.
Paradoxical Vocal Cord Motion terminated by sevoflurane inhalation: a case report and review of the condition
Authors: Barry Maeve , Fitzpatrick Gerry 
Published: October 2016

SummaryParadoxical vocal cord motion (PVCM) is an episodic and abnormal adduction of the vocal cords giving rise to stridor, wheeze, shortness of breath (SOB), cough and chest tightness. It is often mistaken for asthma so the incidence of the disorder is unknown but it may be as high as 22% in patients who present to the Emergency Department with acute dyspnoea. The pathophysiology of PVCM is not well understood but is thought to include both psychological and physical components. Management is based upon speech and language therapy as well as identifying and removing triggers. A number of strategies aimed at terminating acute episodes have been described, including CPAP, inspiratory valve devices, speech and language techniques, nebulised lidocaine, heliox and benzodiazepines. We describe the case of a 56 year old male with a longstanding history of brittle asthma, in whom an acute episode of PVCM was terminated with sevoflurane, an intervention that averted the need for tracheal intubation.

Published: October 2016

Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rbST) has been identified as a substance that can positively impact the reproduction of ruminants, there are, however, few studies published of its use in this area, perhaps because rbST has been banned in many countries. Also known as growth hormone, somatotropin causes favorable reactions related to improving reproductive characteristic such as conception rate, in vitro maturation of oocytes, in vitro embryo culture among others. More studies are needed in order to better understand the effects of rbST and its possible use as a tool to improve the reproduction of ruminants. This article is a review of the literature on the possible effects of rbST in the reproduction of ruminants.
Tangled Up in Blue: Unraveling the Links Between Emotional Distress and Treatment Adherence in Type 2 Diabetes

Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVE
We conducted comprehensive assessments of emotional distress to examine relations with diabetes medication adherence over time.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Ethnically and socioeconomically diverse adults treated for type 2 diabetes completed validated self-reports (SRs) for diabetes distress and depression, were administered semistructured depression interviews, and provided blood samples for A1C. Medication adherence among 104 participants was electronically monitored (EM) over the subsequent 3 months; validated SRs of medication adherence were also obtained. Hierarchical linear regression evaluated independent effects of diabetes distress and depression on adherence.

RESULTS
Mean ± SD 3-month medication adherence was 76.1% ± 25.7% for EM and 83.7% ± 21.9% for SR. Higher levels of SR (P &lt; 0.001) and interview-based (P &lt; 0.05) depressive symptom severity (P &lt; 0.05) and diabetes-related distress (P &lt; 0.01) showed a significant bivariate association with EM and SR nonadherence. Regression models showed baseline diabetes distress was a significant independent predictor of EM (β = −0.29; P = 0.001) and SR adherence (β = −0.24; P &lt; 0.02) at follow-up. SR depression was an independent predictor of EM and SR adherence and reduced the effects of diabetes distress to nonsignificance. Subsequent models indicated this effect was driven by somatic rather than cognitive-affective symptoms of depression. Results were consistent but weaker for interview-based depressive symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS
Findings support diabetes-related distress and depression symptom severity as risk factors for type 2 diabetes medication nonadherence. Somatic symptoms captured by depression measures, but not cognitive-affective symptoms, independently predict nonadherence and should be further investigated as a potential link between emotional distress and nonadherence.
Novel Defect-correction High-order, in Space and Time, Accurate Schemes for Parabolic Singularly Perturbed Convection-diffusion Problems
Authors: Hemker Pieter W. , Shishkin Gregorii I. , Shishkin Lidia P. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractNew high-order accurate finite difference schemes based on defect correction are considered for an initial boundary-value problem on an interval for singularly
perturbed parabolic PDEs with convection; the highest space derivative in the equation is multiplied by the perturbation parameter ε. Solutions of the
well-known classical numerical schemes for such problems do not converge ε-uniformly (the errors of such schemes depend on the value of the parameter ε and are comparable
with the solution itself for small values of ε). The convergence order of the existing ε-uniformly convergent schemes does not exceed 1 in space and time. In this paper,
using a defect correction technique, we construct a special difference scheme that converges ε-uniformly with the second (up to a logarithmic factor) order of accuracy with
respect to x and with the second order of accuracy and higher with respect to t.
On Convergence of the Exponentially Fitted Finite Volume Method With an Anisotropic Mesh Refinement for a Singularly Perturbed Convection-diffusion Equation
Authors: Wang Song , Angermann Lutz 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper presents a convergence analysis for the exponentially fitted finite volume method in two dimensions applied
to a linear singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equation with exponential boundary layers. The method is formulated
as a nonconforming Petrov-Galerkin finite element method with an exponentially fitted trial space and a piecewise constant
test space. The corresponding bilinear form is proved to be coercive with respect to a discrete energy norm. Numerical results are presented to
verify the theoretical rates of convergence.
Performance and Properties of an Additive Manufactured Coil for Inductive Heat Treatment in the MHz Range*
Authors: Habschied M. , Dietrich S. , Heussen D. , Schulze V. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
In inductive heat treatment, the induction coil design plays an important role in the localization of heat generation. Therefore, the combination of an optimized coil geometry and frequency choice determines the workpiece properties and applicability of close-to-contour hardening for small parts or thin hardened layers. Additive manufacturing of copper alloys in the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process offers a method to build coils with high design flexibility and precision. Conventional coil manufacturing methods are reaching their limitations due to the conflicting geometry specifications at the applied frequency range. In the present work, a characterization is presented and the performance of an SLM manufactured coil in MHz induction application of small surface hardened wires of steel is examined.
Ein neuer Ansatz zur Regelung von Plasmanitrierprozessen mittels Plasmanitrierkennzahl*
Authors: Skalecki M. G. , Klümper-Westkamp H. , Hoffmann F. , Bischoff S. , Rohde J. , Winter K.-M. 
Published: October 2016

Kurzfassung
Das Plasmanitrieren ist ein thermochemisches Wärmebehandlungsverfahren für Stahlbauteile, bei dem durch die Bildung einer Nitridschicht der Verschleißwiderstand, die Dauerfestigkeit und die Korrosionsbeständigkeit erhöht werden. Plasmanitrieren wird nach dem Stand der Technik mit festen Begasungsraten und Plasmaparametern durchgeführt. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass in der Plasmanitrieratmosphäre aus den Prozessgasen Stickstoff und Wasserstoff signifikante und charakteristische Mengen Ammoniak gebildet werden. Das Ziel dieser Untersuchungen ist es, daraus Grundlagen für eine Regelung abzuleiten. Hierzu wird der Einfluss einiger Plasmaparameter auf die Atmosphäre sowie auf die Bildung von Ammoniak beim Plasmanitrieren ermittelt. Der Ammoniakgehalt wird mittels geeigneter Analysatoren im Abgasstrom gemessen. Aus den Gasanteilen der Atmosphäre und des Abgases kann eine Plasmanitrierkennzahl berechnet werden, die mit der Nitrierkennzahl aus dem Gasnitrieren vergleichbar ist. Durch die Anwendung der Plasmanitrierkennzahl lassen sich die Nitrierergebnisse bezüglich der Bildung und Zusammensetzung der Verbindungsschicht geregelt einstellen.
Bearing Steels for Induction Hardening – Part II
Authors: Wendel M. , Hoffmann F. , Datchary W. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Surface induction hardening, through induction hardening, and induction tempering of components like rolling elements or rings are established in production and are further developed in research and development. Among others, the used steel grade for induction hardening is one important factor affecting the induction hardening result. The present study benchmarks potential and existing bearing steels in terms of their induction hardening response. Steel grades with low to high carbon contents and different alloying strategies were selected. The robustness of the heat treatment result depending on the selected steels and their conditions prior to induction hardening, shall be pointed out. A dilatometer study was used to compare the sensitivity of martensite start temperature (MS), hardness after quenching, prior austenite grain size, and appearance of non-martensitic transformation products, for varied process parameters. The study showed the pronounced effect of the steels prior microstructure, prior to induction hardening, on the hardening response. The alloying with silicon and manganese reduced the amount of non-martensitic transformation products after hardening. Increasing amounts of alloying elements led in general to larger changes in MS temperature and lower hardness after hardening.
Randschichtgefüge aufgekohlter und bainitisch umgewandelter Bauteile und deren Festigkeitseigenschaften* – Teil 1: Untersuchungen des Umwandlungsverhaltens
Authors: Steinbacher M. , Hoffmann F. , Zoch H.-W. 
Published: October 2016

Kurzfassung
Hoch belastete Bauteile wie Zahnräder werden zumeist einsatzgehärtet, um die spezifische Beanspruchbarkeit an der Zahnflanke und im Zahnfuß einzustellen. Der Wärmebehandlungsprozess umfasst hier Aufkohlen, gefolgt von Abschrecken auf RT in gasförmigen oder flüssigen Medien. Das Ergebnis der Wärmebehandlung ist in den meisten Fällen ein vornehmlich martensitisches Gefüge. Die Vorgaben für das Gefüge der Randschicht sehen üblicherweise ein Mischgefüge aus Martensit und fein verteilten Restaustenit sowie weitestgehend eine Freiheit von Carbidausscheidungen und diffusionsgesteuert gebildeten Gefügen wie Ferrit, Perlit oder Bainit vor. Insbesondere eine isothermische Umwandlung des aufgekohlten Bauteils in der unteren Bainitstufe verspricht jedoch aufgrund der gesteigerten Zähigkeit des Bainits gegenüber dem hoch kohlenstoffhaltigen Martensit Vorteile für die mechanischen Kennwerte so behandelter Bauteile. Möchte man dieses Verfahren beim „Einsatzhärten“ anwenden, sind aufgrund der bainitischen Umwandlung weitere Veränderungen im Prozess notwendig. So müssen in Abhängigkeit von der zuvor durchgeführten Aufkohlung und dem dabei eingestellten Randkohlenstoffgehalt die Umwandlungstemperatur und -dauer angepasst werden. Die Festlegung der Parameter setzt voraus, dass das Umwandlungsverhalten bekannt ist oder universell verwendete Parameter trotz einer damit verbundenen Gefügevariation im Ergebnis keinen maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Festigkeitskennwerte nehmen. Die Ergebnisse und mechanischen Kennwerte wurden systematisch untersucht und werden hier vorgestellt und diskutiert.

Published: October 2016

Premise of the study:Crescentia cujete (Bignoniaceae) fruit rinds are traditionally used for storage vessels and handicrafts. We assembled its chloroplast genome and identified single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).Methods and Results:Using a genome skimming approach, the whole chloroplast of C. cujete was assembled using 3,106,928 sequence reads of 150 bp. The chloroplast is 154,662 bp in length, structurally divided into a large single copy region (84,788 bp), a small single copy region (18,299 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (51,575 bp) with 88 genes annotated. By resequencing the whole chloroplast, we identified 66 SNPs in C. cujete (N = 30) and 68 SNPs in C. amazonica (N = 6). Nucleotide diversity was estimated at 1.1 × 10−3 and 3.5 × 10−3 for C. cujete and C. amazonica, respectively.Conclusions:This broadened C. cujete genetic toolkit will be important to study the origin, domestication, diversity, and phylogeography of treegourds in the Neotropics.
Development of microsatellite markers for the clonal shrub Orixa japonica (Rutaceae) using 454 sequencing

Published: October 2016

Premise of the study:Microsatellite markers were developed for a dioecious shrub, Orixa japonica (Rutaceae). Because O. japonica vigorously propagates by vegetative growth, microsatellite markers can be used to identify clonal relationships among its ramets.Methods and Results:Sixteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified by 454 next‐generation sequencing. The number of alleles and expected heterozygosity for each locus among four populations ranged from two to 10 and from 0.140 to 0.875, respectively. Five of the 16 loci showed a low null allele frequency. Because Orixa is a monotypic genus, cross‐amplification in a consubfamilial species, Skimmia japonica, was tested, and only one locus showed polymorphism.Conclusions:These microsatellite markers developed for O. japonica contribute to clone identification for studies examining the clonal structure and true sex ratio in the wild. Moreover, five markers that have a low null allele frequency can also be used for estimating mating systems or performing parentage analysis.
SURVEYING THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM WITH AN INFRARED SPACE TELESCOPE
Authors: Buie Marc W. , Reitsema Harold J. , Linfield Roger P. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We present an analysis of surveying the inner solar system for objects that may pose some threat to Earth. Most of the analysis is based on understanding the capability provided by Sentinel, a concept for an infrared space-based telescope placed in a heliocentric orbit near the distance of Venus. From this analysis, we show that (1) the size range being targeted can affect the survey design, (2) the orbit distribution of the target sample can affect the survey design, (3) minimum observational arc length during the survey is an important metric of survey performance, and (4) surveys must consider objects as small as

m to meet the goal of identifying objects that have the potential to cause damage on Earth in the next 100 yr. Sentinel will be able to find 50% of all impactors larger than 40 m in a 6.5 yr survey. The Sentinel mission concept is shown to be as effective as any survey in finding objects bigger than D = 140 m but is more effective when applied to finding smaller objects on Earth-impacting orbits. Sentinel is also more effective at finding objects of interest for human exploration that benefit from lower propulsion requirements. To explore the interaction between space and ground search programs, we also study a case where Sentinel is combined with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and show the benefit of placing a space-based observatory in an orbit that reduces the overlap in search regions with a ground-based telescope. In this case, Sentinel+LSST can find more than 70% of the impactors larger than 40 m assuming a 6.5 yr lifetime for Sentinel and 10 yr for LSST.
DEEP WIDEBAND SINGLE POINTINGS AND MOSAICS IN RADIO INTERFEROMETRY: HOW ACCURATELY DO WE RECONSTRUCT INTENSITIES AND SPECTRAL INDICES OF FAINT SOURCES?*
Authors: Rau U. , Bhatnagar S. , Owen F. N. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Many deep wideband wide-field radio interferometric surveys are being designed to accurately measure intensities, spectral indices, and polarization properties of faint source populations. In this paper, we compare various wideband imaging methods to evaluate the accuracy to which intensities and spectral indices of sources close to the confusion limit can be reconstructed. We simulated a wideband single-pointing (C-array, L-Band (1–2 GHz)) and 46-pointing mosaic (D-array, C-Band (4–8 GHz)) JVLA observation using a realistic brightness distribution ranging from 1 μJy to 100 mJy and time-, frequency-, polarization-, and direction-dependent instrumental effects. The main results from these comparisons are (a) errors in the reconstructed intensities and spectral indices are larger for weaker sources even in the absence of simulated noise, (b) errors are systematically lower for joint reconstruction methods (such as Multi-Term Multi-Frequency-Synthesis (MT-MFS)) along with A-Projection for accurate primary beam correction, and (c) use of MT-MFS for image reconstruction eliminates Clean-bias (which is present otherwise). Auxiliary tests include solutions for deficiencies of data partitioning methods (e.g., the use of masks to remove clean bias and hybrid methods to remove sidelobes from sources left un-deconvolved), the effect of sources not at pixel centers, and the consequences of various other numerical approximations within software implementations. This paper also demonstrates the level of detail at which such simulations must be done in order to reflect reality, enable one to systematically identify specific reasons for every trend that is observed, and to estimate scientifically defensible imaging performance metrics and the associated computational complexity of the algorithms/analysis procedures.
A REVERBERATION-BASED BLACK HOLE MASS FOR MCG-06-30-15
Authors: Bentz Misty C. , Cackett Edward M. , Crenshaw D. Michael , Horne Keith , Street Rachel , Ou-Yang Benjamin 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We present the results of a reverberation campaign targeting MGC-06-30-15. Spectrophotometric monitoring and broad-band photometric monitoring over the course of four months in spring 2012 allowed a determination of a time delay in the broad Hβ emission line of τ = 5.3 ± 1.8 days in the rest frame of the active galactic nucleus (AGN). Combined with the width of the variable portion of the emission line, we determine a black hole mass of M
BH = (1.6 ± 0.4) × 106
M
⊙. Both the Hβ time delay and the black hole mass are in good agreement with expectations from the R
BLR–L and M
BH–σ
⋆ relationships for other reverberation-mapped AGNs. The Hβ time delay is also in good agreement with the relationship between Hβ and broad-band near-IR delays, in which the effective size of the broad-line region is ∼4–5 times smaller than the inner edge of the dust torus. Additionally, the reverberation-based mass is in good agreement with estimates from the scaling relationship of the break in the X-ray power spectral density, and with constraints based on stellar kinematics derived from integral field spectroscopy of the inner ∼0.5 kpc of the galaxy.
AFTER THE INTERACTION: AN EFFICIENTLY STAR-FORMING MOLECULAR DISK IN NGC 5195
Authors: Alatalo Katherine , Aladro Rebeca , Nyland Kristina , Aalto Susanne , Bitsakis Theodoros , Gallagher John S. , Lanz Lauranne 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We present new molecular gas maps of NGC 5195 (alternatively known as M51b) from the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy, including 12CO(1–0), 13CO(1–0), CN(1

–

), CS(2–1), and 3 mm continuum. We also detected HCN(1–0) and HCO+(1–0) using the Onsala Space Observatory. NGC 5195 has a 12CO/13CO ratio (

= 11.4 ± 0.5) consistent with normal star-forming galaxies. The CN(1–0) intensity is higher than is seen in an average star-forming galaxy, possibly enhanced in the diffuse gas in photo-dissociation regions. Stellar template fitting of the nuclear spectrum of NGC 5195 shows two stellar populations: an 80% mass fraction of old (≳10 Gyr) and a 20% mass fraction of intermediate-aged (≈1 Gyr) stellar populations. This provides a constraint on the timescale over which NGC 5195 experienced enhanced star formation during its interaction with M51a. The average molecular gas depletion timescale in NGC 5195 is

= 3.08 Gyr, a factor of

larger than the depletion timescales in nearby star-forming galaxies, but consistent with the depletion seen in CO-detected early-type galaxies. While radio continuum emission at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths is present in the vicinity of the nucleus of NGC 5195, we find it is most likely associated with nuclear star formation rather than radio-loud AGN activity. Thus, despite having a substantial interaction with M51a ∼1/2 Gyr ago, the molecular gas in NGC 5195 has resettled and is currently forming stars at an efficiency consistent with settled early-type galaxies.
FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF BLUE STRAGGLERS IN 47 TUCANAE
Authors: Parada Javiera , Richer Harvey , Heyl Jeremy , Kalirai Jason , Goldsbury Ryan 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Blue stragglers (BSS) are stars whose position in the color–magnitude diagram (CMD) places them above the main sequence (MS) turn-off (TO) point of a star cluster. Using data from the core of 47 Tuc in the ultraviolet (UV), we have identified various stellar populations in the CMD, and used their radial distributions to study the evolution and origin of BSS, and obtain a dynamical estimate of the mass of BSS systems. When we separate the BSS into two samples by their magnitude, we find that the bright BSS show a much more centrally concentrated radial distribution and thus higher mass estimate (over twice the TO mass for these BSS systems), suggesting an origin involving triple or multiple stellar systems. In contrast, the faint BSS are less concentrated, with a radial distribution similar to the MS binaries, pointing to the MS binaries as the likely progenitors of these BSS. Putting our data together with available photometric data in the visible and using MESA evolutionary models, we calculate the expected number of stars in each evolutionary stage for the normal evolution of stars and the number of stars coming from the evolution of BSS. The results indicate that BSS have a post-MS evolution comparable to that of a normal star of the same mass and a MS BSS lifetime of about 200–300 Myr. We also find that the excess population of asymptotic giant branch stars in 47 Tuc is due to evolved BSS.
