Comparison of Safety and Efficacy of ProSeal Laryngeal Mask Array vs Endotracheal Intubation for Gynecological Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Authors: Oak Shrikanta , Avhad Valmik 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
This was a prospective randomized study comparing the safety and efficacy of ProSeal laryngeal mask array (PLMA) vs endotracheal intubation (ETT) in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries undertaken in 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist I and II divided into two groups. The parameters assessed were insertion characteristics, hemodynamic response to insertion, gastric distension, and perioperative complications.
The demographic data were comparable. The first-time success rate was slightly higher for PLMA than for ETT. The time required for achieving effective airway was longer in ETT than in PLMA (25.6 ± 8.1 seconds for ETT vs 18.2 ± 5 seconds for PLMA).
The hemodynamic response to intubation/insertion was more in ETT group than in PLMA group, i.e., there was more rise in pulse rate and mean arterial pressure following ETT than PLMA insertion.
Intraoperatively, no episodes of laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desaturation, and inadequate ventilation were observed in both the groups. Postoperatively, sore throat complaints were observed more with ETT than with PLMA.

Prospective Randomized Controlled Study to assess the Role of Dexmedetomidine on Perioperative Hemodynamics in Patients with Supratentorial Tumor undergoing Surgery
Authors: Vaishnav Sachin , Shetty Anita , Sarkar Manjula 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
The stress response to an intense painful surgical stimulus is characterized by activation of the sympathetic nervous system and an increased secretion of the stress hormones. The ability of the alpha agonist dexmedetomidine (DEX) to decrease heart rate (HR) and arterial blood pressure in perioperative period was tested. One hundred and thirty two patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumor were randomly distributed to receive either saline (B group) or DEX (A group). The placebo group received saline, whereas the treatment group (A group) received a single bolus dose of DEX (1μg/kg) intravenously over 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia. Hemodynamic parameters, such as HR and arterial blood pressure were measured. Both the groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, American Society for Anesthesiologist grade, and duration of surgery. The arterial blood pressure and HR were found to be lower in the DEX group when compared with the placebo group.

Anesthesia Management of a Patient with Sickle Hemoglobinopathy and Mitral Stenosis for Emergency Lower (Uterine) Segment Cesarean Section
Authors: Salgaonkar Sweta , Devalkar Priti , Dhale Vasundhara V 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
The pregnant patient with sickle hemoglobinopathy (SH) and mitral stenosis (MS) presenting for emergency lower (uterine) segment cesarean section (LSCS) represents a challenge to the anesthesiologist. In such a case, the choice of anesthesia is dependent on the patient’s clinical condition, urgency of surgery, and the reports of laboratory investigations. An understanding of physiological changes in pregnancy and the pathological impact of MS and SH on pregnancy will help the administration of safe anesthesia for mother and baby. We have discussed the management of a pregnant patient with SH and MS for emergency LSCS.

Bilateral Plunging Ranula due to Habitual Etiology
Authors: Singh A , Bishen Kundendu A , Limaye M , Mishra K 
Published: May 2017

ABSTRACT
Plunging ranulas are pseudocysts in which mucous have extravasated either around or through the mylohyoid muscle to escape the confines of sublingual space to involve the submandibular and inferior aspect of parapharyngeal spaces. We describe a rare case of extensive bilateral plunging ranula in which involvement of multiple tissue spaces was well illustrated by magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical and histologic features and pathogenesis have been concisely discussed. The ranulas mostly occur unilaterally and to the best of our knowledge, the development of two discrete ranulas/bilateral presentations in the same patient is especially rare and very few cases have been reported until now. Although the cause of extravasations remains unclear, this case report is significant because of its characteristic possible habit-related etiology.

Abstract. pH is a fundamental aerosol property that affects ambient particle concentration and composition, linking pH to all aerosol environmental impacts. Here, PM1 and PM2. 5 pH are calculated based on data from measurements during the California Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change (CalNex) study from 15 May to 15 June 2010 in Pasadena, CA. Particle pH and water were predicted with the ISORROPIA-II thermodynamic model and validated by comparing predicted to measured gas–particle partitioning of inorganic nitrate, ammonium, and chloride. The study mean ± standard deviation PM1 pH was 1.9 ± 0.5 for the SO42−–NO3−–NH4+–HNO3–NH3 system. For PM2. 5, internal mixing of sea salt components (SO42−–NO3−–NH4+–Na+–Cl−–K+–HNO3–NH3–HCl system) raised the bulk pH to 2.7 ± 0.3 and improved predicted nitric acid partitioning with PM2. 5 components. The results show little effect of sea salt on PM1 pH, but significant effects on PM2. 5 pH. A mean PM1 pH of 1.9 at Pasadena was approximately one unit higher than what we have reported in the southeastern US, despite similar temperature, relative humidity, and sulfate ranges, and is due to higher total nitrate concentrations (nitric acid plus nitrate) relative to sulfate, a situation where particle water is affected by semi-volatile nitrate concentrations. Under these conditions nitric acid partitioning can further promote nitrate formation by increasing aerosol water, which raises pH by dilution, further increasing nitric acid partitioning and resulting in a significant increase in fine particle nitrate and pH. This study provides insights into the complex interactions between particle pH and nitrate in a summertime coastal environment and a contrast to recently reported pH in the eastern US in summer and winter and the eastern Mediterranean. All studies have consistently found highly acidic PM1 with pH generally below 3.
Multimodel probabilistic prediction of 2 m-temperature anomalies on the monthly timescale
Authors: Ferrone Alfonso , Mastrangelo Daniele , Malguzzi Piero 
Published: May 2017

Abstract. The 2 m-temperature anomalies from the reforecasts of the CNR-ISAC and ECMWF monthly prediction systems have been combined in a multimodel super-ensemble. Tercile probability predictions obtained from the multimodel have been constructed using direct model outputs (DMO) and model output statistics (MOS), like logistic and nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression, for the 1990–2010 winter seasons. Verification with ERA-Interim reanalyses indicates that logistic regression gives the best results in terms of ranked probability skill scores (RPSS) and reliability diagrams for low–medium forecast probabilities. Also, it is argued that the logistic regression would not yield further improvements if a larger dataset was used.

Excremental Art: Small Wonder in a World Full of Shit
Authors: Verrips Jojada 
Published: May 2017

The representation of urinating and defecating people by artists is a rather old phenomenon, for they pop up in the work of, for instance, Rembrandt. For the twentieth century the same can be observed, however with this remarkable difference with past ages, that the number of artists (playwrights, painters and performance artists to mention only a few) working with shit (as well as with bodily fluids and matter) enormously increased. Especially in the second half of this century it became very popular to use shit in plays, paintings and performances. This paper deals with the question, whether the artworks of so-called shit artists working in the West generally speaking are just a kind of wild manifestations of decadence and the abject, as so many people claim, or that they are meant to bring across a particular message with regard to the society and culture in which they are produced. On the basis of the work of the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk and others the hypothesis will be launched that one cannot understand this remarkable blossoming of shit in the arts without taking into consideration the fact that we are living in an era of neo-capitalism, which implies a horrific transformation of consumption goods bought with the help of money (this eternal companion of shit) into all kinds of waste and ordure.

Educação popular e movimentos sociais na América Latina: o desafio da participação cidadã
Authors: Zitkoski Jaime José 
Published: May 2017

O estudo analisa, através de pesquisa bibliográfica, os desafios que hoje se colocam aos Movimentos Sociais Populares na América Latina para construirmos novas formas de organização das lutas sociais. No atual contexto, um dos maiores desafios para os povos latino-americanos é resistir frente à intensa desmobilização das pautas sociais imposta pela globalização hegemônica. Despontam com mais força as pautas conservadoras, que revelam os interesses do poder econômico das instituições financeiras, aliando a mídia com o mercado, impondo uma agenda política em plano internacional. Mas nenhum poder, por mais fortemente estruturado que seja, é absoluto. Assim, o objetivo do artigo é evidenciar que o atual momento da América Latina é importante pelas experiências políticas que estão apresentando alternativas de democracia participativa e, igualmente, na produção da vida via outras economias.
L’essayiste discret
Authors: Daunais Isabelle 
Published: May 2017

Si l’oeuvre de Gilles Marcotte est reconnue comme celle d’un critique majeur de la littérature québécoise, elle est beaucoup moins souvent lue comme celle d’un essayiste. Il est vrai que cette oeuvre ne correspond pas tout à fait aux critères par lesquels l’essai est généralement identifié, et qui tiennent à la position de distinction ou de distance de l’essayiste face au monde. Gilles Marcotte écrit au contraire depuis la conscience forte d’une communauté – une communauté qui inclut les vivants et les morts, les lecteurs ordinaires –, sans laquelle il ne saurait y avoir pour lui ni art ni littérature. Par cette position au sein du monde, il pratique une forme plus discrète d’essai, mais aussi, à bien des égards, plus singulière.
Gilles Marcotte, Montréaliste
Authors: Cambron Micheline 
Published: May 2017

Cet article s’attache aux divers sens et usages liés dans oeuvre de Gilles Marcotte à Montréal comme lieu polymorphe, à la fois thème et structure, temps et espace. Proche en cela de la notion d’« espace habité » de Michel de Certeau, l’idée selon laquelle on écrit et lit différemment selon les lieux est déjà présente dans La littérature et le reste et réunit les essais du volume Écrire à Montréal. Dans l’oeuvre de Marcotte, ville et écriture se rejoignent dans une commune ouverture aux possibles, dans la pluralité et le mélange, et la radicalité du partage du sens qu’ils induisent. En témoigne le rôle heuristique de Montréal qui apparaît dans Le roman à l’imparfait tandis que d’autres textes de Marcotte, notamment sa contribution à Montréal imaginaire, montrent que le désordre montréalais trouve plutôt à loger dans les oeuvres faiblement légitimées de la littérature populaire ; mystères urbains, récits journalistiques, romans obscurs. Les villes, dans l’oeuvre essayistique, critique et fictionnelle de Gilles Marcotte, n’ont pas la fermeté ontologique qu’une conception réaliste tendrait à leur attribuer, elles relèvent plutôt du mouvement de l’esprit qui les fait advenir dans l’ordre du discours et sont indissociables du projet intellectuel qu’elles manifestent. Ce faisant Gilles Marcotte rend la ville habitable.
Testing the capability of ORCHIDEE land surface model to simulate Arctic ecosystems: Sensitivity analysis and site‐level model calibration

AbstractThe ORCHIDEE land surface model has recently been updated to improve the representation of high‐latitude environments. The model now includes improved soil thermodynamics and the representation of permafrost physical processes (soil thawing and freezing), as well as a new snow model to improve the representation of the seasonal evolution of the snow pack and the resulting insulation effects. The model was evaluated against data from the experimental sites of the WSibIso‐Megagrant project (www.wsibiso.ru). ORCHIDEE was applied in stand‐alone mode, on two experimental sites located in the Yamal Peninsula in the northwestern part of Siberia. These sites are representative of circumpolar‐Arctic tundra environments and differ by their respective fractions of shrub/tree cover and soil type. After performing a global sensitivity analysis to identify those parameters that have most influence on the simulation of energy and water transfers, the model was calibrated at local scale and evaluated against in situ measurements (vertical profiles of soil temperature and moisture, as well as active layer thickness) acquired during summer 2012. The results show how sensitivity analysis can identify the dominant processes and thereby reduce the parameter space for the calibration process. We also discuss the model performance at simulating the soil temperature and water content (i.e., energy and water transfers in the soil‐vegetation‐atmosphere continuum) and the contribution of the vertical discretization of the hydrothermal properties. This work clearly shows, at least at the two sites used for validation, that the new ORCHIDEE vertical discretization can represent the water and heat transfers through complex cryogenic Arctic soils—soils which present multiple horizons sometimes with peat inclusions. The improved model allows us to prescribe the vertical heterogeneity of the soil hydrothermal properties.
Impact of detrained cumulus on climate simulated by the Community Atmosphere Model Version 5 with a unified convection scheme

Published: May 2017

AbstractCumulus elements generated by detraining convective condensate–detrained cumulus–are added to the Community Atmosphere Model Version 5 (CAM5) combined with a Unified Convection Scheme (UNICON). Instead of evaporating convective liquids detrained into clear portions, we diagnosed a new detrained cumulus that is horizontally nonoverlapped with cumulus and stratus in each layer by assuming a steady state balance between the detrainment rate of cumulus condensates and the dissipation rate of detrained condensates by entrainment mixing with environmental air. The addition of detrained cumulus was found to substantially improve the simulation of low‐level clouds and the associated shortwave cloud radiative forcing, particularly in the subtropical trade cumulus regime. In addition to the mean climate, successful simulations of the diurnal cycle of precipitation, Madden‐Julian Oscillation, and Kelvin wave were also well maintained.
Valuing environmental services provided by local stormwater management

Published: May 2017

AbstractThe management of stormwater runoff via distributed green infrastructures delivers a number of environmental services that go beyond the reduction of flood risk, which has been the focus of conventional stormwater systems. Not all of these services may be equally valued by the public, however. This paper estimates households' willingness to pay (WTP) for improvements in water security, stream health, recreational and amenity values, as well as reduction in flood risk and urban heat island effect. We use data from nearly 1000 personal interviews with residential homeowners in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Our results suggest that the WTP for the highest levels of all environmental services is A$799 per household per year. WTP is mainly driven by residents valuing improvements in local stream health, exemptions in water restrictions, the prevention of flash flooding, and decreased peak urban temperatures respectively at A$297, A$244, A$104 and A$65 per year. We further conduct a benefit transfer analysis and find that the WTP and compensating surplus are not significantly different between the study areas. Our findings provide additional support that stormwater management via green infrastructures have large nonmarket benefits and that, under certain conditions, benefit values can be transferred to different locations.
Validating a universal model of particle transport lengths with laboratory measurements of suspended grain motions

Published: May 2017

AbstractThe mechanics of sediment transport are of fundamental importance for fluvio‐deltaic morphodynamics. The present study focuses on quantifying particle motions and trajectories across a wide range of flow conditions. In particular, a continuous model is presented that predicts particle travel distances for saltation and suspension based on Rouse number and relative grain roughness. By utilizing a series of eight video cameras in a plexiglass flume direct measurements of the distributions of particle travel distances (excursion lengths) were obtained. To this end, experiments were carried out in dark under black lights with fluorescent painted plastic and quartz sand particles. For relatively high Rouse numbers indicating bed load dominant transport regime (
), particle motion is governed by the effect of gravitational forces (settling velocities) and measured excursion lengths closely follow a Gaussian distribution. For
, particle motion is equally subjected to both gravitational and turbulent forces. Consequently, measured excursion lengths exhibit a bimodal distribution with two distinct peaks. As turbulent fluctuations increase and dominate particle motion over gravity (
), distributions of excursion lengths become unimodal and negative‐skewed with mean values deviating from the modes. The predicted trend of linearly increasing excursion lengths with decreasing Rouse numbers is consistent with measured excursion lengths across a wide range of Rouse numbers
). Furthermore, measured excursion lengths are observed to fit within the predicted range of excursion lengths with no significant difference between measured excursion lengths of plastic and quartz sand particles.
