Derivation and Validation of a New Soil Pore‐Structure‐Dependent Flux–Saturation Relationship
Authors: Ma DongHao , Zhang JiaBao , Lu YunXuan

Core Ideas
A soil pore‐structure‐dependent soil water flux–saturation relationship F(Θ) was derived.
This F(Θ) depends on the shape coefficient of soil water retention curve and initial saturation.
This F(Θ) is simple and accurate for constant‐saturation infiltration and absorption.
Recently, a method based on the soil water flux (F)–saturation (Θ) relationship, F(Θ), assumed to be independent of time and soil properties, has become an important technique to simplify solving Richards' equation so as to develop a simple, rapid, and low‐cost approach to estimate soil hydraulic properties. However, the actual F(Θ) is soil pore‐structure dependent. So far, there exists no theory that can provide a specific functional form of soil pore‐structure‐dependent F(Θ). In this research, we derived a general soil moisture profile function and then a general expression of F(Θ): F = Θ[1 + a2(1 −)]. The only parameter in F(Θ), a2, is a function of the initial soil water saturation and the soil pore structure index that reflects the shape of the soil water retention curve. Infiltration experiments with three test soils and four actual soils were conducted to test the proposed relationships. The results verified the independence of F(Θ) on time at small time scales. The results also indicated that the derived formula predicted F(Θ) in good agreement with what was measured for all test soils under different initial soil moisture conditions. In addition, the upper and lower limit curves of F(Θ) calculated by the proposed formula were consistent with the theoretical curves. Compared with other empirical relationships, the new formula was the best for describing the theoretical upper limit curve of F(Θ). Furthermore, the new theoretical relationship was also found to be appropriate for horizontal absorption. Generally, the developed relationship is more accurate and helpful to solve Richards' equation.

Was attended at the Veterinary Hospital of Unicastelo Descalvado Campus, a female Boxer, seven years old and weighing 24 pounds. The animal had an ulcerated tumor located in the inner left thigh approximately 8cm in diameter. The animal was submitted to the examination of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), where was found a cellularity consistent with basal cell carcinoma. After routine tests such as blood, urine and feces, the animal was pre-anesthetized with levomepromazine (0.3 mg/kg), induced with propofol (3 mg/kg), anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane. Was also made by the epidural the combination of morphine at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, supplemented with local anesthetic bupivacaine 0.5%, the amount of one ml for four pounds. Thirty minutes before the first surgical incision, was given the antibiotic enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg IV). Was performed resection of the tumor while maintaining a safety margin of about 2 cm along its entire length. To cover the lesion, was created a pedicle axial pattern of the ventral abdomen, preserving the epigastric artery and vein flow. The flap was transposed onto the wound skin of medial left thigh, and the ends of the graft were sutured to the recipient bed, with nylon, in wolff pattern, with nylon. Some simple interrupted suture points were applied between the inner face of the graft and wound bed, using vicryl an attempt to decrease the dead space between the graft and the lesion. The skin wound of the ventral portion at abdomen where was removed the graft was approximated and sutured in a conventional pattern. Postoperative care consisted of administration of opioids tramadol dose 2.0 mg/kg subcutaneously each 12 hours for five days, ketoprofen (2.2 mg/kg) every 24 hours over three days and enrofloxacin (5,0 mg/kg) every 24 hours for 10 days orally. Elapsed 20 days of surgery the wound had healed completely with the adhesion of the graft.

The rodeo is a common practice in Brazil and abroad. This activity makes the relationship between man and animal greater, and it causes behavior variations. This study aimed to assess the variations in behavior of bulls in rodeo. 228 bulls in rodeos were observed in the cities of Ibiá, Monte Alegre de Minas, Uberaba and Uberlândia (MG). The rodeo was divided into three phases: brete, work. The animals were observed following three parameters of behavior: gentle, normal and aggressive. The statistical analysis (z test) showed statistically significant differences in the evaluated numbers. We conclude that the rodeo bulls change their behavior between the phases of work brete and increased aggression and between phases of work and return, the Bulls remain the behavior or decrease aggression.

The European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is one of the most important pest of grain corn and sweet corn in Turkey. The objective of this study was to assess percentage damage ratios of the ECB on stalk and corncobs of various sweet corn varieties in Reyhanlı district of Hatay province of Turkey. The studies were carried out in 2015-2016 with four different sweet corn varieties including Caremelo, Vega, Merit and Batem. After two years of the study, the ECB larvae caused significant damages on stalk and corncobs of all sweet corn varieties. The percentage damage of stalk and corncobs varied for each of the sweet corn varieties in both years. In the first year, the highest percentages of stalk damage ratios were recorded on Batem (32.45), followed by Vega (19.85), Merit (17.07) and Caremelo (16.72). In the second year, the highest percentages of stalk damage ratios were observed on Merit (59.34), followed by Caremelo (51.65), Batem (45.09) and Vega (35.49). In the first year, the largest percentages of corncobs damage ratios were recorded on Vega (25.73), followed by Batem (16.74), Caremelo (12.11), and Merit (9.30). In the second year, the highest percentages of corncobs damage ratios were observed on Caremelo (14.31), followed by Merit (13.72), Batem (9.98) and Vega (8.93). In conclusion, the largest percentages of stalk + corncobs damages ratios were observed on Batem (49.19), followed by Vega (45.58), Caremelo (28.83) and Merit (26.37) in 2015, while the highest percentages of stalk + corncobs damages ratios were recorded on Merit (73.06), followed by Caremelo (65.96), Batem (55.07) and Vega (44.42) in 2016.

Published: May 2017

Purpose Immediate postoperative imaging is frequently obtained after combined skull base surgery (SBS) with endoscopic endonasal and open transcranial approaches. The importance of early postoperative imaging for detecting complications in these patients is still debatable. In this study, we investigated the clinical utility of early postoperative imaging after combined SBS for determination of postoperative complications. Methods A retrospective chart analysis of 21 cases of combined SBS between 2009 and 2015 was performed. Data on postoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR), and the hospital course were collected. We separated interpretations of postoperative imaging into two groups: (1) when using the radiologist's interpretation alone, and (2) when using the surgeon's knowledge of the case in conjunction with imaging. Results Forty-two postoperative scans were obtained (21 CT, 21 MR) within 48 hours of surgery. There was a significant statistical difference between imaging interpretation by surgeons and radiologists for CT interpretation only. For CT interpretation the true positive (TP), false positive (FP), true negative (TN), and false negative (FN) rates for radiologists (TP, 0/21; FP, 6/21; TN, 11/21; FN, 4/21) slightly deviated from surgeons' interpretation (TP, 1/21 [p = 0.9999]; FP, 0/21 [p = 0.0207]; TN, 17/21 [p = 0.1000]; FN, 3/21 [p = 1.000]). Rates for MRI interpretation by both groups were nearly identical, with no significant difference found. Overall, four patients experienced seven postoperative complications, which led to a complication rate of 19.0% (4/21). The patients exhibited clinical symptoms in all instances of postoperative complications that required further intervention. Conclusion The benefit of early postoperative imaging to detect complications after combined SBS was limited. In this cohort of patients, positive imaging findings' effects on patient management were dictated by the presence of supporting clinical symptoms.

Published: May 2017

Background Numerous reconstructive techniques and materials have been reported for repair of skull base defects, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and coverage of denuded bone, including pedicled vascularized flaps and free mucosal grafts. Objective This study described our technique of harvesting and transferring a free nasal floor mucoperiosteal graft and discussed our experience with the application of this technique. Methods A retrospective review of 19 patients (mean age, 53.7 years; 13 men, 6 women) treated with image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis or tumors. Intraoperative free mucosal graft repair was performed for large skull base defects after resection of skull base tumor (n = 7), CSF leak (n = 12), and iatrogenic CSF leak (n = 7). Repair was performed in an overlay or an underlay fashion, with a multilayer approach in cases of a large skull base defect. Patients underwent endoscopic assessment at 6 days, 5 weeks, and 12 weeks after surgery for assessment of healing and of CSF leak. The patients were followed up for a mean of 8.7 months. Results Minimal crusting was identified at the donor site in all the patients at 6 days, with no evidence of CSF leak. In cases of exposed bone and/or mucosal stripping, hyperostosis at the recipient graft site was avoided. All the patients had complete healing at the donor site and the recipient site, with minimal morbidity at 5 and 12 weeks, and no evidence of recurrent CSF leak. Conclusion The use of nasal floor mucoperiosteal free grafts in endoscopic surgery offered the advantage of ease of harvest, coverage of large defects, and multiple applications of use, with minimal donor-site morbidity.

Objective To investigate a potential correlation between changes in voice and changes in nasal volume. Methods The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) was performed on 120 patients between February 2009 and August 2016 by using the bilateral modified nasoseptal rescue flaps method. All the patients were subjected to pre- and postoperative paranasal computed tomography (CT) and voice evaluations by using acoustic analyses, a nasometer to measure the nasalance, and determination of the voice handicap index (VHI). Paranasal CT and the medical image processing software were used to calculate changes in nasal cavity volume in three nasal sections. Results Enlargement of the nasal cavity after surgery was evident in all three areas (anteronasal, p < 0.001; midnasal, p = 0.005; postnasal, p = 0.025). In addition, EETSA resulted in significantly higher mean nasalance scores for the oronasal passage (p < 0.001) and nasal passage (p < 0.001); more frequency perturbation (jitter) (p < 0.001) and amplitude perturbation (shimmer) (p < 0.001); and higher grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain scores (p < 0.001), and VHI (p = 0.01). However, only changes in the nasal volume after EETSA correlated with postnasal hypernasality (r = 0.2; p = 0.029). Conclusion Although changes in nasal volume, voice, and speech may develop after EETSA, we found that changes in nasal volume were not correlated with changes in any voice-quality measure. However, the postnasal cavity was the region most dramatically affected by EETSA, and postnasal volume changes after surgery may be associated with hypernasal speech.
Multiple factors influence population sex ratios in the Mojave Desert moss Syntrichia caninervis

Published: May 2017

PREMISE OF RESEARCH:Natural populations of many mosses appear highly female‐biased based on the presence of reproductive structures. This bias could be caused by increased male mortality, lower male growth rate, or a higher threshold for achieving sexual maturity in males. Here we test these hypotheses using samples from two populations of the Mojave Desert moss Syntrichia caninervis.METHODS:We used double‐digest restriction‐site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing to identify candidate sex‐associated loci in a panel of sex‐expressing plants. Next, we used putative sex‐associated markers to identify the sex of individuals without sex structures.KEY RESULTS:We found a 17:1 patch‐level phenotypic female to male sex ratio in the higher elevation site (Wrightwood) and no sex expression at the low elevation site (Phelan). In contrast, on the basis of genetic data, we found a 2:1 female bias at the Wrightwood site and only females at the Phelan site. The relative area occupied by male and female genets was indistinguishable, but males were less genetically diverse.CONCLUSIONS:Our data suggest that both male‐biased mortality and sexual dimorphism in thresholds for sex expression could explain genetic and phenotypic sex ratio biases and that phenotypic sex expression alone over‐estimates the extent of actual sex ratio bias present in these two populations of S. caninervis.
A New Spectral Feature on the Trailing Hemisphere of Europa at 3.78 μm
Authors: Trumbo Samantha K. , Brown Michael E. , Fischer Patrick D. , Hand Kevin P. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
We present hemispherically resolved spectra of the surface of Europa from ∼3.1–4.13

, which we obtained using the near-infrared spectrometer NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. These include the first high-quality L-band spectra of the surface to extend beyond 4

. In our data, we identify a previously unseen spectral feature at 3.78

on the trailing hemisphere. The longitudinal distribution of the feature is consistent with that of a radiolytic product created by electron or Iogenic ion bombardment. This feature is coincident with an absorption feature of SO2 frost seen in both laboratory spectra and spectra of Io. However, the corresponding, typically stronger 4.07

feature of SO2 frost is absent from our data. This result is contrary to the suggested detection of SO2 at 4.05

in Galileo NIMS data of the trailing hemisphere, which was severely affected by radiation noise. We use simple spectral modeling to argue that the 3.78

feature is not easily explained by the presence of SO2 frost on the surface. We explore alternative explanations and discuss other potential candidate species.
Travailler la mémoire d’une révolte au xvii e siècle : le chanoine Moreau et le soulèvement bas-breton de 1490
Authors: Hamon Philippe 
Published: May 2017

Au début du xvii	e siècle, le chanoine quimpérois Jean Moreau compose le récit d’une révolte survenue en basse Bretagne en 1490. Sa démarche érudite s’appuie sur des sources textuelles et orales. Il nous donne accès aux modalités de l’invention de traditions qui rejouent d’ailleurs ultérieurement. Mais ce récit, à la croisée des chemins mémoriels, a une fonction avant tout idéologique et non ethnographique. Moreau y dénonce les effets toujours désastreux d’une irruption collective des ruraux dans le cours de l’histoire. Sa prise de position exprime une vraie haine sociale et caricature les formes rurales de politisation pour leur dénier toute légitimité.
Comprendre le vote pour le Brexit : de l’utilité d’une analyse territoriale
Authors: Bailoni Mark 
Published: May 2017

Le vote pour le leave au référendum sur l’appartenance du Royaume-Uni à l’Union européenne (UE) est souvent décrit comme l’expression d’une révolte de classes populaires qui se sentent déclassées et délaissées par les forces politiques traditionnelles, une réaction anti-immigration dans un contexte de crise migratoire dans une Europe de la libre circulation, le rejet d’une UE trop technocratique et trop coûteuse pour le budget britannique, et l’affirmation d’un Royaume-Uni qui se perçoit encore comme une puissance de classe mondiale. Certes, ces éléments sont les motivations premières des électeurs du leave . Toutefois, pour comprendre les fondements et les origines de ce vote, il apparaît nécessaire de le contextualiser dans une approche territoriale, à une échelle nationale mais aussi à un niveau local, et dans les évolutions électorales récentes du pays et de quelques territoires locaux significatifs. En effet, le vote leave est certes l’expression d’un euroscepticisme britannique ancien et ancré, mais aussi la conséquence de certains ressentiments identitaires, d’une colère sociale et de certaines problématiques locales. L’analyse locale du vote est ainsi essentielle pour en comprendre les fondements, comme le montrent les exemples de ces espaces conflictuels à l’ouest de Londres, de Clacton ou de Boston.
Peut-on penser les finalités européennes sans la Russie ?
Authors: Thomann Pierre-Emmanuel 
Published: May 2017

L’Union européenne se rapproche d’une puissance civile dans les relations internationales et cultive son propre modèle distinct de diplomatie et de gestion civilo-militaire. L’absence de réflexion géopolitique au sein de l’UE a pourtant pour conséquence une aggravation de ses relations avec la Russie dont les objectifs s’accordent mal à ceux de l’UE, et de sa propre sécurité dans le contexte d’un couple franco-allemand en panne après le Brexit.
Les grands serviteurs de l’État, une espèce en voie de disparition ?
Authors: Kessler David 
Published: May 2017

La haute fonction publique française a longtemps été vue comme une élite dont les responsables étaient ceux qu’on appelait « les grands serviteurs de l’État ». Ils ont largement contribué à l’évolution de la France contemporaine. Le combat d’aujourd’hui, dirigé contre les élites, ne les épargne pas. S’ils en sont largement victimes, leurs postures ont pu aussi donner prise à la critique et à cette évolution. Si elle veut retrouver sa place et son prestige, c’est aussi à une réforme profonde de son recrutement et de son rôle que la haute fonction publique doit s’atteler.
De la nécessité de la sélection et de ses modalités
Authors: Bigorgne Laurent 
Published: May 2017

En matière de sélection des élites, le modèle des conventions d’éducation prioritaire de Sciences Po n’a pas vraiment essaimé en France. Aujourd’hui, la matrice de formation de nos élites fait face à deux risques, se refermer sur elle-même socialement, d’une part, et intellectuellement si elle ne parvient pas à se réformer davantage, d’autre part. C’est du moins ce qui ressort d’une comparaison internationale systématique de nos performances en matière d’équité, mais aussi de nos performances dans la mondialisation. Faut-il donner raison au French-bashing ambiant quand il prétend que « les élites françaises n’ont pas été entraînées à réussir dans le monde mais dans le centre de Paris » ?
Migrations et relations interethniques dans la ville
Authors: Garnier Julie 
Published: May 2017

« Autochtones et immigrés en quartier populaire. D’Aligre à l’Îlot Châlon » est le second ouvrage d’une série d’études conduites dans trois quartiers parisiens à la fin des années 1980, avec le soutien de la mission de la recherche urbaine du ministère de l’Urbanisme et du Logement. Publié en 1987 par Véronique De Rudder, en collaboration avec Michelle Guillon, l’ouvrage aborde la question des relations interethniques dans la ville en partant du postulat que toutes les situations résidentielles urbaines sont des situations de « cohabitation pluriethnique ». Cette situation de cohabitation, « loin de former un système dichotomique, est construite par des relations « entre des groupes multiples, fluctuants, difficiles à définir avec précision, traversés de multiples clivages » (J. Mantovani et O. Saint-Raymond (1984) cité par De Rudder, 1990, p. 70).
D’Abdelmalek Sayad à aujourd’hui : revisiter les « âges » de l’émigration algérienne
Authors: Lacroix Thomas , Lemoux Julie 
Published: May 2017

<p class="resume">Au début des années 1970, la sociologie d’Abdelmalek Sayad rompt avec les études précédentes portant sur les migrations internationales. Ses travaux offrent un regard plus humanisant sur l’immigré algérien dans un contexte marqué par les divers bouleversements liés au processus de décolonisation. Sa pensée renouvelle la vision d’un phénomène qui a survécu aux aléas des relations franco-algériennes, notamment en matière de politique migratoire. Cet article propose de revisiter une des contributions fondamentales de Sayad, aussi bien pour mettre en lumière les éléments de continuité que les recompositions (profils des émigrés, motifs et conditions de départ, destinations) qui structurent le champ migratoire algérien depuis les années 1990 et 2000. À partir d’une approche en termes de « générations d’émigrés », il s’agit d’analyser la « nouveauté » qui caractérise depuis les années 2000 le paysage migratoire algérien comme le produit des mutations contemporaines, tant du côté du pays d’origine que des pays d’immigration. Cet article se propose d’évaluer la pertinence, mais aussi les limites que peut avoir l’approche de Sayad aujourd’hui.</p>
