Authors: P. B. Thrishuli , B. Akshata Kamath 
Published: May 2017

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign breast disease, first described by Kessler and Wolloch in 1972. It is characterized by chronic necrotizing granulomatous lobulitis of unknown aetiology. The objective of the study is to find out the clinical and management profile of granulomatous mastitis (GM). This study was carried out at JSS hospital, Mysore, Karnataka, India during the period 2014-2016.Methods: Histopathologically diagnosed cases of GM were studied. Data included, detailed history, examination, clinical diagnosis, ultrasound, mammogram and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). All patients were followed for a period of 6 months. Recurrent cases were managed by wide excision and followed for another period of 6 months.Results: 8 patients who were hisptopathologically diagnosed to have granulomatous mastitis were studied. The mean age was found to be 43.5 years. All patients presented with a painless breast lump and were unilateral. The incidence of the same was found to be higher (3.7%) compared to other large volume studies. The best treatment modality with least recurrence in 4 cases was wide local excision and 1 case of quandrantectomy.Conclusions: GM is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease of the breast. Usually involving a single non-lactating breast in reproductive age group. It clinically mimics tuberculosis and carcinoma. Mammography remains non-conclusive. Excision and wide excision biopsy are both diagnostic and therapeutic in majority of cases. Treatment includes short course of steroids and antibiotic along with close regular surveillance.

Published: May 2017

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of disability in children. Incidence of cerebral palsy varies from one to six per thousand live births. Besides handicapping a child, it causes considerable psychological and social trauma to the parents and financial burden to family and community. A cure for cerebral palsy (CP) has not yet been discovered, hence, a need for primary prevention of disease. But unfortunately, the etiology of cerebral palsy is poorly understood thereby eluding a definitive prevention strategy.Methods: All cases of non-progressive neurological disorder in the age group of 0-9 years were enrolled in the present study. Thorough and complete Obstetric history including antenatal, natal and post-natal were recorded. Woodside scale is used for assessment of neurodevelopment and a complete anthropometric measurement, physical examination including detailed Central Nervous System and all neuroimaging and EEG were recorded. Severity of cerebral palsy was assessed according to Minear's classification. Statistical analysis was done by standard statistical methods.Results: Majority of patients were males (78.26%) as compared to females. The mean age of male patients was 2.04±1.53 years and females was 3.67±3.14 years. Spastic type of CP was most common (93.47%), followed by mixed (4.34%) and atonic (2.17%) type. Quadriplegic CP was the most common (76.75%), followed by diplegia (11.62%) amongst the spastic variety. Risk factors found are maternal pyrexia (17.39%), home vaginal delivery (58.70%), birth asphyxia (67.39%), Neonatal seizures (39.13%) other factors being icterus neonatorum (13.04%) and meconium aspiration syndrome (13.04%), ICH (10.86%), septicemia (8.69%) and renal failure (4.34%). Majority of the patients (78.26%) had class III and IV functional impairment. Cortical atrophy was the most commonly (71.73%) seen abnormality on neuroimaging with CT-scan. Epilepsy was present in 47.82% patients.Conclusions: Cerebral palsy along with its associated dysfunctions definitely disturbs the routine of children's life as well as family life. We have to go a long way before something definitive can be done for these children and their families.
Polska współczesna powieść historyczna i kultura popularna (prolegomena)
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Adam 
Published: May 2017

Popularnej powieści historycznej przypadła współcześnie – niezależnie od promowanych form „polityki pamięci” i ustaleń historyków – rola medium podtrzymującego i powtarzającego mity narodowe. Nawet jeśli bowiem obraz minionych czasów zostaje rozbity, w miejsce dotychczasowego mitu powstaje nowy. Ma on niekiedy – wobec chronologicznie wcześniejszego – charakter „anty-mitu”, tj. ukazuje „kulturowy rewers” dotychczasowej wizji. Jednakże jego funkcja pozostaje niezmienna – ma utrwalać dotychczasowe postrzeganie przeszłości, choćby expressis verbis deklarowana była konieczność rewindykacji. „Czytanie historii” przez twórców popularnej powieści historycznej pozostaje w niej zapisem o charakterze „kulturowego palimpsestu”, podporządkowanego funkcjonującym w wyobraźni społecznej „fantomom” przeszłości.
Powieść szachowa jako powieść historyczna. Nieco przewrotna alternatywa gatunkowa
Authors: Graf Paweł 
Published: May 2017

Artykuł realizuje dwa cele. Pierwszym z nich jest ponowne zdefiniowanie gatunkowe powieści historycznej w sytuacji, w której dotychczasowe próby opisania tej formy okazują się niewystarczające. Nowa definicja przenosi punkt ciężkości z cech strukturalnych (niemożliwych do ustalenia po doświadczeniu narratywizacji historii) na poetykę odbioru. Cel drugi, interpretacyjny, polega na skomplikowaniu uczynionych rozpoznań poprzez analizę powieści szachowej, która multiplikuje historyczność utworu i zmusza do postawienia innych pytań. Tym samym artykuł zmierza do alternatywnego opisu ważnego dziś doświadczenia literackiego, jakim jest proza historyczna.

Published: May 2017

<p>Mungbean varieties were mainly characterized based on morphological traits. Molecular genetic approach is expected to help the breeder in identification of mungbean varieties in more detail and to protect intellectual property right. This study aimed to identify Indonesian mungbean varieties based on DNA fingerprint profile using a marker set to support morphological characters. A total of 22 Indonesian mungbean accessions were characterized based on 21 morphological traits and 55 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) primers. Of the total 22 mungbean varieties used in the present study, 16 varieties were improved varieties and remaining six varieties were local varieties originated from Java, Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi collected in GeneBank of ICABIOGRAD. The results showed that the 21 morphological characters were not sufficient to differentiate 22 mungbean varieties, while SSR analysis revealed that eight multi-alleles markers and high polymorphic information content (PIC) values have been successfully selected for varietal identification. The selected markers enabled to differentiate each mungbean variety according to their genetic marker with the lowest distance of 0.125, demonstrating the robustness of the selected marker set as a tool to identify a specific DNA fingerprint profile as a varietal identity (ID). The genetic identity of a variety was shown by digital barcoding which represented a series of alleles produced by corresponding markers. The DNA fingerprint profile of each variety would be beneficial as reference identities of a mungbean variety. <strong></strong></p>
Effect of Lamination on Interpreting Formation Permeability and Pressure Responses from Wirelilne Formation Testing
Authors: Yang Min , Yang Daoyong , Chen Andrew 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
In this paper, techniques have been developed to examine the effect of lamination on interpreting formation permeability in a hydrocarbon reservoir by numerically simulating the measured pumpout flow and pressure responses from wireline formation testing (WFT) measurements. With the field data obtained from a dual packer tool in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, a high-resolution near-wellbore numerical model has been developed and validated to simulate the fluid sampling process together with transient pressure. History matching has been performed with field data to assess the effective thickness and then interpret the permeability for each flow unit. Subsequently, eight cases have been generated under various configurations of the laminated layers. The pressure buildup derivatives obtained from both packers and observation probes are used as a diagnosis tool to examine the effect of lamination on WFT measurements. Mud-filtrate invasion affects the early-time behaviour of pressure transients because of the associated changes in fluid viscosity and compositions. It is found that low vertical permeability can behave as a vertical barrier for the flow in a WFT tool, indicating difference contrast in permeability between individual flow units. As for the field case, effective water horizontal permeabilities for Tests #1 and #2 are found to be 14.0 mD and 10.6 mD, respectively. A low vertical permeability results in a distortion in the derivatives, particularly during the transition between flow regimes. In a laminated reservoir, a radial flow regime will develop when both the radial length of lamination is greater than the vertical formation interval and complete circular shape of lamination is formed. It is recommended that any observation probe be positioned in or below the lamination layer to accurately define the vertical communication of lamination as well as its configuration. If the dual packers and observation probes are located in the same zone, their pressure responses exhibit the same flow regimes. If the dual packer and observation probes are located in different flow units, pressure changes in the observation probes can be developed when a partially sealing lamination exists.

Abstract
Oil and gas production systems are complex and usually consist of several production elements and corresponding models: (1) reservoirs modelled with reservoir simulators using geological and fluid data, (2) wells and surface production networks modelled with flow assurance applications, (3) surface processing facilities modelled in process simulators and (4) economic models. The traditional approach ("silo" approach) consists of modelling each part of the system independently from the others without considering upstream and/or downstream interactions. Integrated Asset Modelling (IAM) is a maturing solution incorporating effects of all the elements of an asset. This paper shows the benefits of successful IAM implementations in four highly complex and technically challenging assets around the globe.
IAM aims to bring together all models of the value chain, from the reservoir to the point of sales. It enables us to perform numerous sensitivity analysis by changing any parameter across the value chain and investigate its influence on the entire system. The presentation concludes with guidelines and best practices for IAM implementation. It especially focuses on three very important issues faced when dealing with IAM: (1) software and model integration, (2) PVT consistency across the value chain and (3) optimization.
Several case studies from the industry are used as illustration: diluent injection optimization for a heavy oil field in the North Sea, integration of reservoir and process models for a complex offshore multi-field asset in Indonesia, production allocation for an onshore multi-field asset in South America and API blending optimization for a multi-field asset in Middle East. The different case studies show that benefits of implementing an IAM approach can be significant and immediate: higher production, lower OPEX or better information for further CAPEX.
In the current market situation, IAM approach is a cost-effective solution to optimize oil and gas production. By bringing together existing information and models from all parts of the production system, IAM breaks barriers between disciplines and enables an asset-scale overview that leads to more informed decision-making and ultimately higher profits for operators.
Turf Quality and Species Dynamics in Bermudagrass and Kentucky Bluegrass Mixtures
Authors: Menegon Alessandro , Macolino Stefano , McCalla John H. , Rimi Filippo , Richardson Michael D. 
Published: May 2017

Core Ideas
In transitional environments, mixtures of bermudagrass and Kentucky bluegrass can provide green cover year‐round.
In mixtures, cultivars of bermudagrass characterized by slow green‐up favor the survival of Kentucky bluegrass.
The choice of Kentucky bluegrass cultivars has limited practical impact on the performance of mixtures with bermudagrass.
Climatic changes and the need to reduce water consumption for irrigation have led to expanded use of warm‐season turf species in transitional zones. Turf managers are often hesitant to use warm‐season species because they undergo dormancy for a long period during the winter. Although this issue might be addressed by mixing cool‐ with warm‐season species, there is a lack of information on the performance and dynamics of species succession in such turfgrass mixtures. A 2‐yr investigation was conducted in Legnaro, Italy, and Fayetteville, AR, to test the turf quality and species succession in mixtures of various cultivars of bermudagrass (BG) [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] with Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) (Poa pratensis L.). Bermudagrass cultivars, Yukon and Veracruz, were seeded in June 2011 at 5 g m−2 and KBG cultivars Brooklawn, Mystere, and Nublue Plus were overseeded in September 2011 at 30 g m−2. Across both studies, the frequency of BG in the mixture was generally higher for Yukon and ranged from 40 to 95%. However, the mixtures with Veracruz had superior turf quality in Legnaro from October 2012 to March 2013. The species succession was influenced by BG cultivars, whereas KBG cultivar had little effect on the rate of plant composition change. On the basis of these results, the choice of BG cultivar appears critical for establishing functional KBG and BG mixtures in transitional zones.
Poultry Litter Placement Effects on Cotton Seedling Emergence and Early Growth
Authors: Lin Yaru , Watts Dexter B. , Way Thomas R. 
Published: May 2017

Core IdeasSowing into poultry litter bands inhibits seed emergence and root establishment.Aboveground plant production during early cotton growth stages may be negatively impacted by sowing into poultry litter bands.Banding poultry litter beside crop rows may be an effective fertilizer management strategy.Interest in using poultry litter (PL) as a nutrient source for row crop production has increased in the southeastern United States. Poultry litter is generally broadcasted on the soil surface. This practice exposes N to volatilization and P to loss with surface water runoff, which potentially negatively impacts the environment. Placing PL in narrow bands below the soil surface has been shown to reduce such losses and improve crop yield, but the influence of band placement on seedling emergence and growth is not well understood. A glasshouse experiment was conducted with a Marvyn loamy sand to determine the effects of PL placement on emergence and early growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.). Poultry litter placement was compared with ammonium sulfate (AS); both were applied at a rate of 112 kg N ha−1. The PL and AS treatments consisted of surface broadcasting, banding 5 cm below or to the side of seed, seeding directly in bands, and an unfertilized control. Banding 5 cm to the side of seeds produced emergence rates, plant biomass, leaf area, leaf chlorophyll content, and root morphological parameters similar to those of the control and surface broadcast treatments for cotton fertilized with AS and PL. However, seeds placed directly in PL or AS bands had the lowest emergence rate and growth parameters. Therefore, banding PL 5 cm or more to the side of seeds may be an effective fertilizer management strategy for cotton production.
Patterns of Benthic Fauna Distribution in Wells: The Role of Anthropogenic Impact and Geology
Authors: Dumnicka Elzbieta , Galas Joanna , Krodkiewska Mariola 
Published: May 2017

Core IdeasGeology does not seem to influence fauna composition in the studied wells.Water chemistry does not differ significantly in wells placed on limestone and flysch.Water pollution affects the abundance and diversity of wells fauna.Fauna distribution depends mainly on depth and age of the wells.Surface water fauna prevail; only three stygobiontic species were found.This study was undertaken to determine the factors that influence the composition of macroinvertebrate communities in wells completed into two different bedrocks, limestone and flysch. The chemical parameters of the water in wells of both kinds did not significantly differ. The anthropogenic impact on the quality of water was revealed in some wells in both areas, which resulted in relatively low fauna diversity and abundance in polluted wells. Canonical correspondence analyses suggested that depth, age, sediment organic matter content, water oxygenation, and conductivity best explained the variance in the distribution of benthic fauna taxa. Among the 19 taxa that were determined to the family level, oligochaetous Clitellata dominated. They were represented by 13 species and one genus. Among them, two stygobionts,Trichodrilus moravicusandRhyacodrilus subterraneus, were determined. Moreover, only one crustacean stygobiont,Niphargus tatrensis, was found, and it occurred only in a single well. A low number and abundance of stygobionts and stygophiles compared with stygoxenes was observed. Our studies showed that bedrock substratum does not influence macroinvertebrate composition.

Contrary to established theories, vadose water contributes considerably to Canadian Prairie stormflow.
Travel velocities of subsurface flow may exceed surface flow in some cases.
Traqnsmissivity feedback and macropore flow promote “old” water deliveryto Prairie streams.
Hydrologic literature on the Northern Great Plains, including the Canadian Prairies, has mainly focused on Hortonian overland flow as the dominant runoff generation mechanism. This study focused on subsurface water movement and its contribution to streamflow in high‐latitude, subhumid, prairie landscapes with flat topography. Three “riparian‐to‐stream” sites were monitored in southeastern Manitoba, Canada, and four hydrologic events (snowmelt triggered and rainfall triggered) were selected for analysis. A dual water sourcing strategy, including conservative and non‐conservative tracers, was applied to distinguish the relative importance of event (“new”) and pre‐event (“old”) runoff sources. Surrogate measures of antecedent wetness conditions (AWCs: based on rainfall, snow water equivalent, and soil saturation) data and streamflow and water table fluctuation data were used to identify factors influencing the contributions of different runoff sources. Results showed significant old water contributions during snowmelt‐ and rainfall‐triggered events, especially during the summer season. At an engineered grassland site, decreases in snow cover extent were accompanied by “flashy,” high‐magnitude stream hydrographs. Larger peak discharge was observed coincident to elevated AWCs at all sites. Travel velocities of surface‐applied dye were faster than those of subsurface‐applied dye, except for one rainfall‐triggered event. Rapid delivery of old water to streams was observed and hypothesized to be the result of macropore flow, piston flow, or transmissivity feedback depending on the season and water table position. Further investigations are recommended to increase our understanding of subsurface runoff generation mechanisms that promote the rapid movement of old water from riparian areas to streams in Canadian Prairie landscapes.

Published: May 2017

Abstract
Chagan Lake serves as an irrigation storage reservoir for the Qianguo Irrigation Area and an important ecological barrier in western Jilin. The coupled TUFLOW-FV and Aquatic Ecodynamic (AED2) models were used to simulate the hydrodynamic and water quality of Chagan Lake, and propose the water diversion scheme that could improve the water quality to reach Grade III and maintain the ecological water level. The simulation results showed a satisfactory agreement with observations. The total carrying loads of NH3-N, total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) for Chagan Lake were 1,147.6, 3,686.2 and 100.8 t from May to October. The range of the minimum amounts of water diversion to keep the water quality as Grade III and maintain the maximum ecological water level of 131.5 m for TN, TP were separately [32.60, 49.84, 57.19, 63.70, 70.91], [117.25, 135.26, 168.17, 190.65, 218.32] million m3 and the corresponding reduction amounts of farmland drainage for TN, TP were separately [4.03, 0, 0, 0, 0], [73.08, 61.88, 50.23, 40.94, 31.98] million m3 under the rainfall guarantee rates of 10%, 20%, 50%, 75%, 90%, respectively. The simulation results provide a scientific basis for the water quality improvement and ecological water supplement required for the interconnected river–lake system network (IRLSN) in Western Jilin Province.
The Involvement of Post-Translational Modifications in Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Marcelli Serena , Corbo Massimo , Iannuzzi Filomena , Negri Lucia , Blandini Fabio , Nistico Robert , Feligioni Marco 
Published: May 2017

Background:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder recognized as the most
common cause of chronic dementia among the ageing population. AD is histopathologically characterized by
progressive loss of neurons and deposits of insoluble proteins, primarily composed of amyloid-β pelaques and
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).

Methods:
Several molecular processes contribute to the formation of AD cellular hallmarks. Among them,
post-translational modifications (PTMs) represent an attractive mechanism underlying the formation of covalent
bonds between chemical groups/peptides to target proteins, which ultimately result modified in their function.
Most of the proteins related to AD undergo PTMs. Several recent studies show that AD-related proteins
like APP, Aβ, tau, BACE1 undergo post-translational modifications. The effect of PTMs contributes to the
normal function of cells, although aberrant protein modification, which may depend on many factors, can
drive the onset or support the development of AD.

Results:
Here we will discuss the effect of several PTMs on the functionality of AD-related proteins potentially
contributing to the development of AD pathology.

Conclusion:
We will consider the role of Ubiquitination, Phosphorylation, SUMOylation, Acetylation and
Nitrosylation on specific AD-related proteins and, more interestingly, the possible interactions that may occur
between such different PTMs.
