Authors: Fuhrmann Mark , Lasat Mitch M. , Ebbs Stephen D. , Kochian Leon V. , Cornish Jay 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACTA field test was conducted to determine the ability of three plant species to extract 137Cs and 90Sr from contaminated soil. Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.], and tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray) were planted in a series of spatially randomized cells in soil that was contaminated in the 1950s and 1960s. We examined the potential for phytoextraction of 90Sr and 137Cs by these three species. Concentration ratios (CR) for 137Cs for redroot pigweed, Indian mustard, and tepary bean were 2.58, 0.46, and 0.17, respectively. For 90Sr they were substantially higher: 6.5, 8.2, and 15.2, respectively. The greatest accumulation of both radionuclides was obtained with redroot pigweed, even though its CR for 90Sr was the lowest, because of its relatively large biomass. There was a linear relationship between the 137Cs concentration in plants and its concentration in soil only for redroot pigweed. Uptake of 90Sr exhibits no relationship to 90Sr concentrations in the soil. Estimates of time required for removal of 50% of the two contaminants, assuming two crops of redroot pigweed per year, are 7 yr for 90Sr and 18 yr for 137Cs.

Published: September 2017

This article discusses a vibrodiagnostic system designed for the prototypical microturbine operating in an ORC-based power plant with an electrical capacity of around 100 kW. The first part of the article is devoted to the numerical analysis of the microturbine, which was conducted with taking into account the fact that the asynchronous electro-generator is connected to the microturbine shaft by a reduction gear. Based on the results of the analysis, the diagnostic system dedicated for the microturbine has also been developed. The second part of the article presents a vibrodiagnostic system in detail. The system with a dedicated measuring and monitoring software (developed using the LabVIEW programming environment) was described. The developed solution enables not only constant monitoring of the test object, but also protects the microturbine against propagation of damage and failure.

Background and objectives
Uremic pruritus in patients on hemodialysis is associated with depression, lower quality of life, and mortality. We studied the prevalence, awareness, and treatment of pruritus to assess how well this important condition is currently managed internationally.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
Data from 35,452 patients on hemodialysis in up to 17 countries from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study were analyzed to describe pruritus prevalence from 1996 to 2015. Data from 6256 patients and 268 medical directors in 17 countries in 2012–2015 were analyzed to describe predictors, effects, medical directors’ awareness, and treatment of pruritus.

Results
Patients very much or extremely bothered by itching declined from 28% in 1996 to 18% in 2015. In 2012–2015, among patients nearly always or always bothered by itching, pruritus had a major effect on work and social life; 18% used no treatment for pruritus, and 17% did not report itching to health care staff. In total, 69% of medical directors underestimated the prevalence of pruritus in their unit. Managing high serum phosphorus and low Kt/V was ranked as the most important intervention, but no relationship was found between these factors and pruritus; 57% of medical directors used oral antihistamines for first-line chronic treatment of pruritus. Gabapentin was used by 45% as first-, second-, or third-line treatment. Nalfurafine was only used in Japan.

Conclusions
The prevalence of pruritus in people on hemodialysis is decreasing but remains underestimated. Large numbers of patients on hemodialysis with severe pruritus do not receive treatment. There is wide variation in the use of unlicensed medications for the treatment of pruritus. These data provide a benchmark for initiatives to improve the management of uremic pruritus.

Published: September 2017

Objective: This work is focused on the construction of simple and sensitive electrochemical sensor for quantitative determination of dorzolamide (DOR) and timolol maleate (TIM). This method is based on the incorporation of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) into the carbon paste electrode which improve the characteristics of the electrode.Methods: The electrochemical response of modified electrode was based on voltammetric oxidation, using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The structural morphology of the surface modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Quantitative analysis for each of the two compounds in a mixture has been examined by using of chemometric tools for resolving overlapping signals. The prediction performance of the chemometric method was analyzed by principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS).Results: Fractional factorial design was constructed from set of synthetic mixtures of two drugs in concentration ranges of 0.05 to 1.6µg/ml for DOR and 1.5-20 µg/ml for TIM. Under optimum experimental conditions, DOR and TIM gave rectilinear response over the concentration range of 0.072-1.88 µg/ml and 1.16-20.84 µg/ml, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was found to be 0.098 and 1.025 µg/ml, for DOR and TIM, respectively. It found that the % of relative prediction error (RPE) was acceptable and satisfactory.Conclusion: In these work, for the first time, a new voltammetric simultaneous method developed for a rapid and efficient determination of DOR and TIM from eye dropper sample at nano modified electrode with satisfactory results. These results indicate that MWCNT holds great promise in practical application.

Objetivou-se avaliar o aprendizado de professores da disciplina Ciências da Natureza de escolas próximas à Estação Ecológica de Caetés, agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) e de agentes de combate a endemias (ACE) dos municípios de Abreu e Lima e Paulista, PE, com relação às zoonoses leptospirose, toxoplasmose, raiva e leishmanioses. No primeiro momento foi aplicado um questionário sobre as doenças, tocante ao conceito de zoonoses e sua cadeia epidemiológica. Após as ações de Educação e Saúde foi feito um segundo questionário para verificar o aumento do nível de conhecimento dos participantes. No primeiro questionário cada participante em média, acertou 13 questões a mais do que errou e esta média aumentou para 27 questões mais certas do que erradas no segundo questionário. Em geral, os ACS, ACE e professores possuíam um bom domínio de zoonoses comuns ao seu cotidiano, seja nas campanhas de saúde, ou citadas nas mídias e presentes em meio urbano, como a leptospirose e a raiva. No entanto, em relação às zoonoses negligenciadas como a toxoplasmose e as leishmanioses, os participantes possuíam um nível de conhecimento insuficiente, levando em consideração seu papel de educador. O conhecimento da cadeia epidemiológica da raiva e da leptospirose foi maior do que a toxoplasmose e as leishmanioses. Este trabalho representou a primeira descrição de atividades de educação em saúde sobre zoonoses para ACS, ACE e professores de escolas no entorno de uma Unidade de Conservação no nordeste do Brasil.

El casco urbano de Monzón presenta un elevado riesgo deinundación por crecidas del río Sosa, que destaca por su comportamientohidrológico torrencial (flash flood). La crecida más reciente calificablecomo extraordinaria fue la de agosto de 2006, eligiéndose esteevento para modelizar la respuesta hidrológica de la cuenca ante precipitacionesintensas utilizando Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG).Así, se han utilizado datos de lluvia real en los modelos hidrológicos yse obtuvo en campo (método geomorfológico) el caudal máximo instantáneoque pudo registrarse en el núcleo urbano, estimándose en 236m3/s. Tras la crecida se realizó una cartografía de peligrosidad de inundaciones,calculando y representando las zonas inundables para crecidascon distintos periodos de retorno. Los modelos hidráulicos constatanun riesgo elevado, comprobándose que el Sosa puede desbordar la zona canalizada del tramo urbano para crecidas con periodos de retornosuperiores a los diez años.
Breaking the seal at Grímsvötn, Iceland
Authors: Fowler A. C. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractOf several problems associated with theoretical explanations of the jökulhlaups which emerge from the outlet glacier Skeiðarárjökull of the ice cap Vatnajökull in southeast Iceland, the mechanism of flood initiation is one that has hitherto defied explanation. We provide such an explanation based on a careful analysis of the classical Nye-Röthlisberger model; near the subglacial lake Grímsvötn, the hydraulic potential gradient is towards the lake, and there is therefore a catchment boundary under the ice, whose location depends on the subglacial meltwater drainage characteristics. As the conditions for a flood approach, we show that the water divide migrates towards the lake, while at the same time the lake pressure increases. When the hydraulic potential gradient towards the lake is low and the refilling rate is slow, the seal will "break" when the catchment boundary reaches the lake, while the lake level is still below flotation pressure, whereas if refilling is rapid, flotation can be achieved before a flood is initiated. This theory can thus explain why the seal is normally broken when the lake level at Grímsvötn is still some 60 m below flotation level. In addition, we are able to explain why the jökulhlaup following the 1996 eruption did not occur until flotation level was achieved, and we show how the cyclicity and magnitude of jökulhlaups can be explained within this theory.
Full-depth avalanche occurrences caused by snow gliding, Coquihalla, British Columbia, Canada
Authors: Clarke Jennifer , McClung David 
Published: September 2017

AbstractSnow glide is the translational slip of the entire snowpack over a sloping ground surface, and it is thought that rapid rates of snow glide precede full-depth avalanches. The nature of avalanches that release at the ground makes them difficult to predict and difficult to control using explosives.On-slope instrumentation comprised of stainless-steel "glide shoes" was used to measure rates of snow glide for two winters on a bedrock slope adjacent to the Coquihalla Highway, Cascade Mountains, British Columbia, Canada. Climate data and avalanche occurrences were recorded by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways.Our results show that the supply of free water to the snow/ground interface by rain or snowmelt is the most important influence on full-depth avalanche release. Full-depth avalanche release responds to rainfall and snowmelt events within 12-24 hours. Occasionally, full-depth avalanches occur unexpectedly during clear, cold periods. Snowmelt by radiation is thought to contribute enough meltwater during these cold periods to induce higher rates of snow glide and full-depth avalanche release. The results also indicate that snow glide alone is not a reliable indicator for full-depth avalanche release.
