Extreme Event Verification for Probabilistic Downscaling
Authors: Kirchmeier-Young Megan C. , Lorenz David J. , Vimont Daniel J. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractExtreme events are important to many studying regional climate impacts but provide a challenge for many “deterministic” downscaling methodologies. The University of Wisconsin Probabilistic Downscaling (UWPD) dataset applies a “probabilistic” approach to downscaling that may be advantageous in a number of situations, including realistic representation of extreme events. The probabilistic approach to downscaling, however, presents some unique challenges for verification, especially when comparing a full probability density function with a single observed value for each day. Furthermore, because of the wide range of specific climatic information needed in climate impacts assessment, any single verification metric will be useful to only a limited set of practitioners. The intent of this study, then, is (i) to identify verification metrics appropriate for probabilistic downscaling of climate data; (ii) to apply, within the UWPD, those metrics to a suite of extreme event statistics that may be of use in climate impacts assessments; and (iii) in applying these metrics, to demonstrate the utility of a probabilistic approach to downscaling climate data, especially for representing extreme events.
Impact of Regional Atmospheric Cloud Radiative Changes on Shifts of the Extratropical Jet Stream in Response to Global Warming
Authors: Voigt Aiko , Shaw Tiffany A. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractClimate models robustly project that global warming will lead to a poleward shift of the annual-mean zonal-mean extratropical jet streams. The magnitude of such shifts remains uncertain, however, and recent work has indicated a potentially important role of cloud radiative interactions. The model spread found in realistic simulations with interactive sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is captured in aquaplanet simulations with prescribed SSTs, because of which the latter setup is adapted here to study the impact of regional atmospheric cloud radiative changes on the jet position. Simulations with two CMIP5 models and prescribed regional cloud changes show that the rise of tropical high-level clouds and the upward and poleward movement of midlatitude high-level clouds lead to poleward jet shifts. High-latitude low-level cloud changes shift the jet poleward in one model but not in the other. The impact of clouds on the jet operates via the atmospheric radiative forcing that is created by the cloud changes and is qualitatively reproduced in a dry model, although the latter is too sensitive because of its simplified treatment of diabatic processes. The 10-model CMIP5 aquaplanet ensemble of global warming exhibits correlations between jet shifts, regional temperature changes, and regional cloud changes that are consistent with the prescribed cloud simulations. This provides evidence that the atmospheric radiative forcing from tropical and midlatitude high-level cloud changes contributes to model uncertainty in future jet shifts, in addition to the surface radiative forcing from extratropical cloud changes highlighted by previous studies.
Examining Tropical Cyclone–Kelvin Wave Interactions Using Adjoint Diagnostics
Authors: Reynolds Carolyn A. , Doyle James D. , Hong Xiaodong 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThe initial-state sensitivity and interactions between a tropical cyclone and atmospheric equatorial Kelvin waves associated with the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) during the DYNAMO field campaign are explored using adjoint-based tools from the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS). The development of Tropical Cyclone 5 (TC05) coincided with the passage of an equatorial Kelvin wave (KW) and westerly wind burst associated with an MJO that developed in the Indian Ocean in late November 2011. COAMPS 18-h adjoint sensitivities of low-level kinetic energy to changes in initial state winds, temperature, and water vapor are analyzed for both TC05 and the KW to document when the evolution of each system is sensitive to the other. Time series of sensitivity patterns confirm that TC05 and the KW low-level westerlies are sensitive to each other when the KW is to the southwest and south of TC05. While TC05 is not sensitive to the KW after this, the KW low-level westerlies remain sensitive to TC05 until it enters the far eastern Indian Ocean. Vertical profiles of both TC05 and KW sensitivity indicate lower-tropospheric maxima in temperature, wind, and moisture, with KW sensitivity typically 20% smaller than TC05 sensitivity. The magnitude of the sensitivity for both systems is greatest just prior to, and during, their closest proximity. A case study examination reveals that adjoint-based optimal perturbations grow and expand quickly through a dynamic response to decreased static stability. The evolution of moist-only and dry-only initial perturbations illustrates that the moist component is primarily responsible for the initial rapid growth, but that subsequent growth rates are similar.
On the Interconnection of a Range and the Second-Order Cluster
Authors: Графский  , Grafskiy O. 
Published: August 2016

In accordance with “Specialized sections of affine,
projective and computational geometry” syllabus for Master’s
degree program in “Multimedia systems and computer graphics”
developed at the Far Eastern State Transport University, the subject
“Projective theory of the second-order curves” is considered [4;
14; 18]. Both at the sources mentioned and the textbook [11] projective method of the second-order curves formation as a range of
the second order and its dual form – a second-order cluster (with
regard to well-known theorems and relations, including Pascal and
Brianchon theorems) is discernible.
However, the graphical interpretations represented at the sources
mentioned have general abstract character: to form the secondorder
range two projective clusters of the first-order with the corresponding
right lines are defined, and to design the second-order
range – two projective series with the corresponding points. Techniques
of high value can be observed when constructing outlines with the
second-order curves; in this case, depending on engineering discriminant
values, these curves can be constructed both using Pascal
lines and qualities of the engineering discriminant itself, that is
paying attention to the fact that tangents to the second-order curves
makes the second-order cluster.
Naturally, intent arises not to set the corresponding points on
projective ranges, but to get them by elaboration, disclosing upon
that regularities when constructing different second-order curves
(the first aspect of research). The second aspect is in the consider -
ation of the particular cases which would have definite secondorder
clusters. In this case the task would be to model the secondorder
range as a dual form of cluster. Thus it would be possible to
get the interconnection of the definite cluster and the second-order
cluster.
Mutual Support and Usage of CAD Systems

In speaking of modern higher education, we mean an
educational system that allows young specialists to fit into the labour
market. Such specialists need to be equipped with the necessary
knowledge and skills not only to perform work on the project, but
also to attack the problem creatively. The task of higher school is
to provide the necessary set of knowledge and skills that will allow
young specialists to work successfully and to be on the march. The
language of communication of engineers is drawings. Computer
drawings allow reducing the working time considerably in the development,
production, remediation, transfer, and retention. Therefore, the ability to use drawing program for working with images is
necessary. Despite all the powerful design tools and visualization,
a key moment in computer design is the documentation of the
product and its design in accordance with accepted standards that
is considered to be an integral part of the design process. After the
successful development of a 2D environment, the expert can confidently
move on to 3D modeling that facilitates the receipt of
drawings and models at times and gives you the opportunity to
inspect the settings of the virtual model and, if necessary, to improve
them significantly. Usage of different CAD-systems for communication
engineers- partners is a reality. Therefore it is very useful for
a specialist to be able to use different programs. Modern graphic
programs (AutoCAD, SolidEdge) have many similar opportunities,
but they also have some differences. Knowledge of several drawing
programs is necessary and reduces the amount of time for the skills
development for usage of each CAD-system is the problem of the
future engineer.
The article compares two different programs and the possibility
of using the both CAD-systems for working with drawings.
Weather and the Psychology of Purchasing Outdoor Movie Tickets
Authors: Buchheim Lukas , Kolaska Thomas 
Published: August 2016

The consequences of many economic decisions materialize only in the future. To make informed choices in such decision problems, consumers need to anticipate the likelihood of future states of the world, the state dependence of their preferences, and the choice alternatives that may become relevant. This complex task may expose consumers to psychological biases like extrapolative expectations, projection bias, or salience. We test whether customers are affected by such biases when they buy advance tickets for an outdoor movie theater, a real-world situation that, because of the availability of reliable weather forecasts, closely resembles a stylized decision problem under risk. We find that customers’ decisions are heavily influenced by the weather at the time of purchase, even though the latter is irrelevant for the experience of visiting the theater in the future. The empirical evidence cannot be fully explained by a range of candidate rational explanations, but is consistent with the presence of the aforementioned psychological mechanisms. This paper was accepted by John List, behavioral economics.

Authors: Elbin R.J. , Sufrinko Alicia , Schatz Philip , French Jon , Henry Luke , Burkhart Scott , Collins Michael W. , Kontos Anthony P. 
Published: August 2016

OBJECTIVE:
Despite increases in education and awareness, many athletes continue to play with signs and symptoms of a sport-related concussion (SRC). The impact that continuing to play has on recovery is unknown. This study compared recovery time and related outcomes between athletes who were immediately removed from play and athletes who continued to play with an SRC.

METHODS:
A prospective, repeated measures design was used to compare neurocognitive performance, symptoms, and recovery time between 35 athletes (mean ± SD age, 15.61 ± 1.65 years) immediately removed after an SRC (REMOVED group) compared with 34 athletes (mean ± SD age, 15.35 ± 1.73 years) who continued to play (PLAYED group) with SRC. Neurocognitive and symptom data were obtained at baseline and at 1 to 7 days and 8 to 30 days after an SRC.

RESULTS:
The PLAYED group took longer to recover than the REMOVED group (44.4 ± 36.0 vs 22.0 ± 18.7 days; P = .003) and were 8.80 times more likely to demonstrate protracted recovery (≥21 days) (P &lt; .001). Removal from play status was associated with the greatest risk of protracted recovery (adjusted odds ratio, 14.27; P = .001) compared with other predictors (eg, sex). The PLAYED group exhibited significantly worse neurocognitive and greater symptoms than the REMOVED group.

CONCLUSIONS:
SRC recovery time may be reduced if athletes are removed from participation. Immediate removal from play is the first step in mitigating prolonged SRC recovery, and these data support current consensus statements and management guidelines.

This Policy Statement was retired March 2021.
This policy statement provides recommendations for the prevention of serogroup B meningococcal disease through the use of 2 newly licensed serogroup B meningococcal vaccines: MenB-FHbp (Trumenba; Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Pfizer, Philadelphia, PA) and MenB-4C (Bexsero; Novartis Vaccines, Siena, Italy). Both vaccines are approved for use in persons 10 through 25 years of age. MenB-FHbp is licensed as a 2- or 3-dose series, and MenB-4C is licensed as a 2-dose series for all groups. Either vaccine is recommended for routine use in persons 10 years and older who are at increased risk of serogroup B meningococcal disease (category A recommendation). Persons at increased risk of meningococcal serogroup B disease include the following: (1) persons with persistent complement component diseases, including inherited or chronic deficiencies in C3, C5–C9, properdin, factor D, or factor H or persons receiving eculizumab (Soliris; Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Cheshire, CT), a monoclonal antibody that acts as a terminal complement inhibitor by binding C5 and inhibiting cleavage of C5 to C5A; (2) persons with anatomic or functional asplenia, including sickle cell disease; and (3) healthy persons at increased risk because of a serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak. Both serogroup B meningococcal vaccines have been shown to be safe and immunogenic and are licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration for individuals between the ages of 10 and 25 years. On the basis of epidemiologic and antibody persistence data, the American Academy of Pediatrics agrees with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that either vaccine may be administered to healthy adolescents and young adults 16 through 23 years of age (preferred ages are 16 through 18 years) to provide short-term protection against most strains of serogroup B meningococcal disease (category B recommendation).
Hay que evitar totalizar la violencia para poder comprender la paz viva. Entrevista con Juan Gutiérrez
Authors: Fernández-Savater Amador , Varela Huerta Amarela 
Published: August 2016

Juan Gutierrez was invited to share the experience of "Peace Strands Project" in Mexico by the Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and the Tecnológico de Monterrey. This particular project and the long-winded reflection of the interviewee about a strong concept of peace are particularly inspiring and relevant in the actual crisis context of human rights related to the "war on drugs" in Mexico. Why? From his perspective, embodied in the Peace Strands Project, this gives visibility and adds value to resistance and life gestures that deconstruct the logic of the sides of the war and the figure of the enemy. It is about not "totalizing violence", that is, not seeing it as a complete, all-powerful absolute and for it, that for that, to focus on gestures of positive peace crossing the sides and that place value on the traverse humanity always underlying open conflict situations. Juan Gutierrez and the interviewers maintain a live dialogue about these issues for years now and, in the context of his trip to Mexico, they thought that it might be valuable to share some thoughts, experiences, and stories to think otherwise the violence in Mexico.
Significance of Time-Lapsed Hydrocarbon Saturations From Pulsed-Neutron-Capture (PNC) Logs and the Impact of Borehole-Environment Parameters on PNC-Derived Saturations
Authors: Ali Arfan , Small Simon , Singh Kamaljeet , Martin Andy 
Published: August 2016

Summary
Reservoir surveillance with pulsed-neutron-capture (PNC) logs has shown its importance historically in providing reservoir hydrocarbon saturations behind the casing. However, there is little in the literature to show the importance of PNC logs for contact tracking and accessing bypassed/moved hydrocarbons. In addition, no one has ever attempted to characterize the various borehole environments and subsequently understanding their impact on the PNC-derived hydrocarbon saturations.
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part shows the importance of time-lapse PNC logs in understanding reservoir-fluid movement and chasing migrated hydrocarbons behind the casing. A case study from the UK Central North Sea is presented to highlight the importance of the PNC sigma data.
The second part of the paper shows the computation of borehole-environment parameters from simple to complex completions including multiple casing/tubing strings, varying hole sizes, and annuli fill. For the first time, the work presented in this paper shows the importance of having correct environmental parameters and the impact of using incorrect parameters on the PNC-derived hydrocarbon saturations. Not making such detailed checks may result in misinterpretation of the PNC data, leading to incorrect conclusions about fluid dynamics, and risky decisions in adding perforations and water-shut off (WSO) opportunities.
Polypoid Change of the Glomerular Basement Membrane in a Child with Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome and ARHGAP24 Mutation: A Case Report
Authors: Francis Anna , Burke John , Francis Leo , McTaggart Steven , Mallett Andrew 
Published: August 2016

Background:
Steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is increasingly recognised to have a genetic basis following the identification of a number of mutations within genes encoding podocyte and basement membrane proteins. The ARHGAP24 gene product is a recently recognised important player in podocyte interaction with the glomerular basement membrane. The ARHGAP24 gene encodes a protein involved in regulating cell motility, membrane structure and polarity. Mutations in the gene have been shown in vitro to cause cell membrane ruffling.

Case Presentation:
We report a novel missense mutation in exon 4 (c.[284G>A]; p.[Arg95Gln]) of the ARHGAP24 gene in a child that presented with SRNS at four years of age. Renal biopsy demonstrated unusual polypoid changes of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM).

Conclusion:
We propose this novel ARHGAP24 mutation as causative for SRNS associated with unusual polypoid basement membrane changes. These biopsy findings, in association with ARHGAP24 mutation and clinical nephrotic syndrome are a novel finding. This finding may advance the understanding of ARHGAP24 gene product function.
