SummaryVisualization can reduce the cognitive load of information, allowing users to easily interpret and assess large amounts of data. The purpose of our study was to examine home health data using visual analysis techniques to discover clinically salient associations between patient characteristics with problem-oriented health outcomes of older adult home health patients during the home health service period.Knowledge, Behavior and Status ratings at discharge as well as change from admission to discharge that was coded using the Omaha System was collected from a dataset on 988 deidentified patient data from 15 home health agencies. SPSS Visualization Designer v1.0 was used to visually analyze patterns between independent and outcome variables using heat maps and histograms. Visualizations suggesting clinical salience were tested for significance using correlation analysis.The mean age of the patients was 80 years, with the majority female (66%). Of the 150 visualizations, 69 potentially meaningful patterns were statistically evaluated through bivariate associations, revealing 21 significant associations. Further, 14 associations between episode length and Charlson co-morbidity index mainly with urinary related diagnoses and problems remained significant after adjustment analyses. Through visual analysis, the adverse association of the longer home health episode length and higher Charlson co-morbidity index with behavior or status outcomes for patients with impaired urinary function was revealed.We have demonstrated the use of visual analysis to discover novel patterns that described high-needs subgroups among the older home health patient population. The effective presentation of these data patterns can allow clinicians to identify areas of patient improvement, and time periods that are most effective for implementing home health interventions to improve patient outcomes.Citation: Radhakrishnan K, Monsen KA, Bae S-H, Zhang W.

Adjusting particle-size distributions to account for aggregation in
tephra-deposit model forecasts
Authors: Mastin Larry G. , Van Eaton Alexa R. , Durant Adam J. 
Published: July 2016

Abstract. Volcanic ash transport and dispersion (VATD) models are used to forecast tephra deposition during volcanic eruptions. Model accuracy is limited by the fact that fine-ash aggregates (clumps into clusters), thus altering patterns of deposition. In most models this is accounted for by ad hoc changes to model input, representing fine ash as aggregates with density ρagg, and a log-normal size distribution with median μagg and standard deviation σagg. Optimal values may vary between eruptions. To test the variance, we used the Ash3d tephra model to simulate four deposits: 18 May 1980 Mount St. Helens; 16–17 September 1992 Crater Peak (Mount Spurr); 17 June 1996 Ruapehu; and 23 March 2009 Mount Redoubt. In 192 simulations, we systematically varied μagg and σagg, holding ρagg constant at 600 kg m−3. We evaluated the fit using three indices that compare modeled versus measured (1) mass load at sample locations; (2) mass load versus distance along the dispersal axis; and (3) isomass area. For all deposits, under these inputs, the best-fit value of μagg ranged narrowly between  ∼  2.3 and 2.7φ (0.20–0.15 mm), despite large variations in erupted mass (0.25–50 Tg), plume height (8.5–25 km), mass fraction of fine ( <  0.063 mm) ash (3–59 %), atmospheric temperature, and water content between these eruptions. This close agreement suggests that aggregation may be treated as a discrete process that is insensitive to eruptive style or magnitude. This result offers the potential for a simple, computationally efficient parameterization scheme for use in operational model forecasts. Further research may indicate whether this narrow range also reflects physical constraints on processes in the evolving cloud.
Assessment of land use impact on hydraulic threshold conditions for gully head cut initiation

Published: July 2016

Abstract. A gully as an accelerated erosion process is responsible for land degradation under various environmental conditions and has been known as a threshold phenomenon. Although the effects of gullying processes have been well documented, few soil erosion models have taken into account the threshold condition necessary for gully development. This research was devoted to determining the effects of land use change on hydraulic threshold condition and stream power of water flow through an in situ experimental flume (15 m  ×  0.4 m). Results indicated that head cut initiation and detachment rates showed a better correlation to stream power indices than shear stress (τcr). The threshold unit stream power value (ωu) for head cut initiation in rangeland, abandoned land, and dry farming land was 0.0276, 0.0149, and 4.5  ×  10−5 m s−1, respectively. Moreover, the micro-relief condition of soil surface and surface vegetation affected the flow regime of discharge and velocity. It is seen that the composite hydraulic criteria of Froude number (Fr) and discharge (Q) can clearly discriminate the land uses' threshold. In fact, the remarkable decrease of τcr in dry farming was related to the effect of tillage practice on soil susceptibility and aggregate strength. The findings indicated that using the unit steam power index instead of critical shear stress could increase the models' precision for prediction of head cut development. Compared to the Ephemeral Gully Erosion Model (EGEM) equation for critical shear stress, it is important to point out that for modelling of gully erosion, using single soil attributes can lead to an inaccurate estimation for τcr. In addition, based on the findings of this research, the use of threshold values of τcr  =  35 dyne cm−2 and ωu  =  0.4 cm s−1 in physically based soil erosion models is susceptible to high uncertainty when assessing gully erosion.

This paper will esamin the linguistic experience of Jhumpa Lahiri, english writer from Bengala, who won in 2000 Pulitzer. She represents a real peculiar experience between a long history of Italian literature wrote by foreign writers. In fact, Lahiri comes to Italian language after a long and solid road, which took her to become a great writer in USA. She doesn’t fell, in opposition to all the first generation of foreign auctors, the necessity to use Italian language to tell about racism, bad experience of migrants. She meets our language by a rapid falling in love, based on beauty (after a travel in Florence). Lahiri fells the necessity to tell this love history using Italian language in a novel, sort of autobiographic linguistic novel, in 2015: In altre parole. Italian language, in this way, becomes the way and the object at the same time, which is used to write Stories. It I a particular language, unic in Italian Literature wrote by foreign people.
High-sensitivity organic phototransistors prepared by floating film transfer method
Authors: Bhargava Kshitij , Singh Vipul 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In this report, the performance characteristics of organic phototransistors (OPTs) prepared by the floating film transfer method (FTM) and spin coating (SC) technique are compared. The FTM OPT shows a 2-order-higher photosensitivity under an electrically induced off-state as compared with the SC OPT. Furthermore, the FTM OPT shows improved gate voltage tunabilities of photosensitivity and responsivity as compared with the SC OPT. These observed results are explained on the basis of the improved thin film morphology of the active poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) layer in the FTM OPT, pointing towards the significance of thin film processing conditions in obtaining high-sensitivity OPTs.
Two high-density recording methods with run-length limited turbo code for holographic data storage system
Authors: Nakamura Yusuke , Hoshizawa Taku 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Two methods for increasing the data capacity of a holographic data storage system (HDSS) were developed. The first method is called “run-length-limited (RLL) high-density recording”. An RLL modulation has the same effect as enlarging the pixel pitch; namely, it optically reduces the hologram size. Accordingly, the method doubles the raw-data recording density. The second method is called “RLL turbo signal processing”. The RLL turbo code consists of

trellis modulation and an optimized convolutional code. The remarkable point of the developed turbo code is that it employs the RLL modulator and demodulator as parts of the error-correction process. The turbo code improves the capability of error correction more than a conventional LDPC code, even though interpixel interference is generated. These two methods will increase the data density 1.78-fold. Moreover, by simulation and experiment, a data density of 2.4 Tbit/in.2 is confirmed.
Readout fidelity of coaxial holographic digital data page recording in nanoparticle–(thiol–ene) polymer composites
Authors: Nagaya Kohta , Hata Eiji , Tomita Yasuo 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
We report on an experimental investigation of nanoparticle-concentration and thiol-to-ene stoichiometric ratio dependences of symbol error rates (SERs) and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of digital data pages recorded at a wavelength of 532 nm in thiol–ene based nanoparticle–polymer composite (NPC) films by using a coaxial holographic digital data storage method. We show that SERs and SNRs at the optimized material condition can be lower than 1 × 10−4 and higher than 10, respectively, without error correction coding. These results show the usefulness of thiol–ene based NPCs as coaxial holographic data storage media.

ObjectivesPrimary fetal cardiomyopathy is a rare entity, with a poor prognosis. We sought to describe its echocardiographic characteristics and outcomes.MethodsWe performed a 12‐year retrospective review of fetuses with primary cardiomyopathy.ResultsOf more than 6000 fetuses evaluated, 25 met criteria for primary cardiomyopathy, and 18 had sufficient echocardiographic and pregnancy outcome data for inclusion. At echocardiography, the median gestational age was 29.6 weeks (range, 21.0–36.4 weeks); median cardiovascular profile score was 6 (range, 1–9); median right ventricular Tei index was 0.52 (range, 0.32–0.94); and median left ventricular Tei index was 0.40 (range, 0.15–0.88). Two had fetal demise, and 16 survived to delivery. The median cardiovascular profile score in those with fetal demise was 3.0 and in those who survived to delivery was 6.5 (range, 3–9; P = .14). The median right ventricular Tei index in those with fetal demise was 0.39 and in those surviving to delivery was 0.53 (range, 0.38–0.94; P = .49). The median left ventricular Tei index in those with fetal demise was 0.29 and in those surviving to delivery was 0.42 (range, 0.15–0.88; P = .50). Sixty‐day survival was available in 11 of 16 fetuses. In addition to the 2 with fetal demise, 4 had postnatal demise, and 5 were alive at a median follow‐up of 39 months. Hydrops (P = .01), skin edema (P = .01), and mild or greater mitral regurgitation (P = .02) were associated with fetal or postnatal demise, with a trend toward an association between moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (P = .07) and fetal or postnatal demise.ConclusionsHydrops and atrioventricular valvar regurgitation are ominous signs in primary fetal cardiomyopathy. Although other commonly used methods for assessing cardiovascular performance may help in diagnosing primary cardiomyopathy, these data suggest limited predictive value.
Three‐Versus Two‐Dimensional Sonographic Biometry for Predicting Birth Weight and Macrosomia in Diabetic Pregnancies
Authors: Tuuli Methodius G. , Kapalka Kristen , Macones George A. , Cahill Alison G. 
Published: July 2016

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a formula incorporating 3‐dimensional (3D) fractional thigh volume would be superior to the conventional 2‐dimensional (2D) formula of Hadlock et al (Am J Obstet Gynecol 1985; 151:333–337) for predicting birth weight and macrosomia.MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of pregnancies complicated by pregestational or gestational diabetes and delivered after 38 weeks. Two‐dimensional and 3D sonographic examinations were performed for fetal biometry and factional thigh volumes at 34 to 37 weeks. Fetal weight was estimated by Hadlock's 2D formula IV, which uses only 2D biometry, and formula 6 from Lee et al (Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2009; 34:556–565), which incorporates 3D fractional thigh volume and 2D biometry. The gestation‐adjusted projection method was used to estimate predicted birth weights from 2D and 3D estimates. The primary outcome was fetal macrosomia, which was defined as birth weight of 4000 g or higher.ResultsA total of 115 women with diabetes met inclusion criteria, and 17 (14.8%) delivered macrosomic neonates. The mean percentage error was significantly lower for the 2D than the 3D projected estimate (1.0% versus 12.0%; P < .01). The standard deviation of the mean percentage error was also significantly lower for the 2D projected estimate (10.2% versus 17.2%; P< .01). Two‐dimensional biometry was overall superior to 3D biometry for predicting macrosomia (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.88 versus 0.75; P = .03). Specificity was significantly higher for 2D biometry (85% versus 66%; P < .01), whereas the difference in sensitivity was not statistically significant (59% versus 71%; P = .22).ConclusionsIn this study, the Hadlock 2D formula was superior to the 3D method for predicting birth weight and macrosomia in diabetic women when used approximately 2 weeks before delivery, based on the gestation‐adjusted projection method.

Riazi, S., & MacLean, S. (2016). Young adults' accounts of buying rounds of alcoholic drinks for friends: Implications for harm reduction. The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 5(3), 125-129. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v5i3.229Aims: Buying or shouting rounds (purchasing alcoholic drinks for oneself and others at the same time) at on-premise licensed venues, such as nightclubs and bars, is a widespread Australian cultural practice. Our paper aims to provide detailed information on young adults’ attitudes and practices concerning round buying.Methods: Thematic analysis of research interviews involving 60 young adults living in Melbourne was conducted using NVivo 10, yielding three key themes.Findings: (1) Contexts where round buying occurred: young adults considered group size and culture, as well as bar activity, when determining whether they should round buy with their friends. In busy venues, round buying conveniently reduced the number of trips to and time waiting at the bar. Round buying was less likely to occur in groups larger than 4-5 people, as beyond this participants found it difficult to control the reciprocity of round buying, cost, and consumption of alcohol. (2) Sociability: while round buying did not occur within the friendship groups of all participants, it was seen by many as an important way of demonstrating connections with friends. (3) Consumption: overwhelmingly, participants believed that round buying increases their overall alcohol intake through implicit and explicit pressures to consume more.Conclusions: Policies that limit round buying may offer a means to reduce alcohol-related harm. In addition, education that challenges round buying rules and expectations may help alleviate pressure on young adults to consume heavily.
Near‐surface fault detection using high‐resolution shear wave reflection seismics at the CO2CRC Otway Project site, Australia

Published: July 2016

AbstractHigh‐resolution, near‐surface, shear wave reflection seismic measurements were carried out in November 2013 at the CO2CRC Otway Project site, Victoria, Australia, with the aim to determine whether and, if so, where deeper faults reach the near subsurface. From a previous P wave 3‐D reflection seismic data set that was concentrated on a reservoir at 2 km depth, we can only interpret faults up to 400 m below sea level. For the future monitoring in the overburden of the CO2 reservoir it is important to know whether and how the faults continue in the subsurface. We prove that two regional fault zones do in fact reach the surface instead of dying out at depth. Individual first‐break signatures in the shot gathers along the profiles support this interpretation. However, this finding does not imply perforce communication between the reservoir and the surface in the framework of CO2 injection. The shear wave seismic sections are complementary to existing P wave volumes. They image with high resolution (better than 3 m vertically) different tectonic structures. Similar structures also outcrop on the southern coast of the Otway Basin. Both the seismic and the outcrops evidence the complex youngest structural history of the area.

Published: July 2016

AbstractIon velocity distribution functions (VDFs) from a particle‐in‐cell simulation of asymmetric reconnection are investigated to reveal a two‐scale structure of the ion diffusion region (IDR). Ions bouncing in the inner IDR are trapped mainly by the electric field normal to the current sheet (N direction), while those reaching the outer IDR are turned back mainly by the magnetic force. The resulting inner layer VDFs have counter‐streaming populations along N with decreasing counter‐streaming speeds away from the midplane while maintaining the out‐of‐plane speed, and the outer layer VDFs exhibit crescent shapes toward the out‐of‐plane direction. Observations of the above VDF features and the normal electric fields provide evidence for the two‐scale meandering motion.
Lungenkrebs: EGFR‐Inhibitoren mit hoher Wirksamkeit gegen die therapieresistente L858R/T790M/C797S‐Mutante.

Published: July 2016

AbstractDie Therapie des nichtkleinzelligen Lungenkarzinoms mit Inhibitoren des epidermalen Wachstumsfaktors (EGFR) ist ein Wettstreit gegen erworbene, durch Mutationen verursachte Resistenzen. EGFR‐Inhibitoren der dritten Generation wurden gezielt dazu entwickelt, Tumorresistenzen durch eine kovalente Bindung an Cys 797 des Enzyms zu überwinden. Solche Inhibitoren sind gegen die meisten klinisch relevanten EGFR‐Mutanten sehr wirksam. Da aber ihre inhibitorische Aktivität maßgeblich durch die kovalent‐irreversible Interaktion bestimmt wird, führt eine kürzlich in Patienten nachgewiesene dritte Mutation (C797S) zu einem drastischen Wirkverlust dieser Arzneimittel. Nun wurde eine neue Strukturklasse von reversiblen und irreversiblen EGFR‐Inhibitoren entwickelt. Letztere zeichnen sich durch zusätzliche starke nichtkovalente Bindungsmotive aus und weisen dadurch eine hohe Potenz gegenüber dem Cystein‐mutierten L858R/T790M/C797S‐EGFR‐Enzym auf.
Accelerated Chemical Reactions and Organic Synthesis in Leidenfrost Droplets
Authors: Bain Ryan M. , Pulliam Christopher J. , Thery Fabien , Cooks R. Graham 
Published: July 2016

AbstractLeidenfrost levitated droplets can be used to accelerate chemical reactions in processes that appear similar to reaction acceleration in charged microdroplets produced by electrospray ionization. Reaction acceleration in Leidenfrost droplets is demonstrated for a base‐catalyzed Claisen–Schmidt condensation, hydrazone formation from precharged and neutral ketones, and for the Katritzky pyrylium into pyridinium conversion under various reaction conditions. Comparisons with bulk reactions gave intermediate acceleration factors (2–50). By keeping the volume of the Leidenfrost droplets constant, it was shown that interfacial effects contribute to acceleration; this was confirmed by decreased reaction rates in the presence of a surfactant. The ability to multiplex Leidenfrost microreactors, to extract product into an immiscible solvent during reaction, and to use Leidenfrost droplets as reaction vessels to synthesize milligram quantities of product is also demonstrated.
