Estructura y composición florística del bosque seco tropical de Sanguaré-Sucre (Colombia) / Structure and Floristic Composition of Tropical Dry Forest of Sanguaré-Sucre (Colombia)
Authors: Mercado Gomez Jorge 
Published: November 2016

ResumenEn el presente estudio se analizó la estructura y composición de la vegetación en fragmentos de bosque seco tropical en la Reserva Natural Sanguaré (San Onofre, Sucre-Colombia), estableciendo la riqueza de plantas y ciertos parámetros estructurales para medir la organización y dinámica del bosque. En cada fragmento de bosque se hicieron levantamientos de vegetación con base en los transectos tipo RAP modificados. Con base en las identificaciones, conteos de especies y datos sobre estructura como la altura y el DAP, para establecer las familias, géneros y especies más importantes, los hábitos de crecimiento y perfil de vegetación. Dentro de los resultados se encontraron 658 individuos, agrupados en 37 familias, 81 géneros y 82 especies. Los grupos taxonómicos más importantes fueron Fabaceae con 23 especies, seguida de Malvaceae (Bombacoideae), Arecaceae y Rubiaceae. En el habito de crecimiento, los arboles fueron dominantes y el palmetum tuvo una alta representación, como un dato atípico al bosque seco. Con base en los datos de altura se determinó que su mayor valor fue de 15 metros en promedio, lo que nos permite inferir el estado de sucesión ecológica en el que se encuentran estos bosques. AbstractIn the present study we analyzed the structure and composition of a tropical dry forest fragment in theNatural Reserve Sanguare (San Onofre, Sucre, Colombia). We established the richness of plants and the structural parameters to measure the organization and dynamics of the forest. In each forest fragments we made a vegetation survey with RAP’s modified transect type method. We made taxonomic identification, species counts and structure measurements such as height and DBH, to establish the most important families, genera and species; the growth habits and vegetation profile. We found 658 individuals, grouped in 37 families, 81 genera and 82 species. The most important taxonomic in terms of richness were Malvaceae, Fabaceae, Caesalpinaceae, Mimosaceae, Rubiaceae and Moraceae; while as an abundant taxa Caesalpinaceae, Sapindaceae, Malvaceae, Bignoniaceae y Rubiaceae where important. The dominant habits of growth were trees and the palmetum had a high representation as an outlier to the dry forest. The greatest height of trees was 15 meters on average, which allows us to infer the forest is in an early succession.

A teoria da dependência como matriz para um diálogo latino-americano
Authors: Lotufo Marcelo Freddi 
Published: November 2016

Este ensaio procura recuperar a “teoria da dependência” como uma matriz para pensarmos o continente latino-americano tanto em sua parte lusófona como hispânica. Um debate que preza o diálogo e articula tanto o nacional como o continental e o global, os desenvolvimentos culturais pensados em torno da noção de dependência podem ser uma maneira para se combater a divisão histórica que separa as histórias intelectuais do Brasil e de seus vizinhos; uma divisão que foi apontada por Júlio Schwartz em seu ensaio “Abaixo Tordesilhas!”. A partir dos dois desenvolvimentos culturais mais conhecidos deste debate, “As ideias fora do lugar”, de Roberto Schwarz, e “colonialidade do poder”, de Aníbal Quijano, discuto as possibilidades que o estudo comparativo de modelos teóricos abre para que repensemos nossas matrizes nacionais de formas mais inclusivas. Isto é, ao compararmos modelos teóricos pensados para o Brasil e o Peru precisamos repensar, diante dos diferentes contextos, certas ênfases e insights que pareciam lógicos em nosso contexto particular mas que são desafiados diante de novas realidades. Ademais, este ensaio defende a necessidade de recuperarmos matrizes teóricas como a da dependência em um momento em que teorias sistêmicas da literatura voltaram a ser discutidas no debate literário internacional por críticos como Franco Moretti e Pascale Casanova.

Abstract
In this paper, modified wavelet full-approximation scheme is introduced for the numerical solution of nonlinear Volterra integral and integro-differential equations. Wavelet Prolongation and Restriction operators are developed using Daubechies wavelet filter coefficients. Results show that the proposed scheme offers an efficient and good accuracy with faster convergence in less computation cost, which is justified through the error analysis and CPU time.
Ischaemic heart disease unmasked by adrenaline injection during dental surgery
Authors: Brown Hannah , Cook Tim 
Published: November 2016

SummaryA 56‐yr‐old female presented for multiple dental extractions under general anaesthesia as a day case. Lidocaine with adrenaline administered by the surgeon intraoperatively is suspected to have triggered cardiac ischaemia requiring inpatient coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Lidocaine with adrenaline is commonly used in dental surgery and considered safe, even in patients with coronary artery disease. This unusual case is a reminder that systemic absorption of adrenaline can occur and trigger cardiac ischaemia in at risk patients. A high index of suspicion should be maintained if cardiovascular instability occurs and appropriate investigation and follow up instigated.
A rail-borne piezoelectric transducer for energy harvesting of railway vibration
Authors: Gao M. Y. , Wang P. , Cao Y. , Chen R. , Liu C. 
Published: November 2016

This paper investigates design, modelling, and test issues related to piezoelectric energy transducer. The model analyzes a rail-borne “seismic” energy harvester that is designed to generate electrical energy from local variations in rail acceleration. The energy harvester analyzed in this model consists of a piezoelectric PZT film clamped at one end to the rail with a tip mass mounted on its other end. It includes two sub-models in this paper: a vehicle-track interaction model considering vehicle travelling load; and a cantilevered piezoelectric beam model for the visualization of voltage and power profile and frequency response. Four rail irregularities (American 6th grade track spectrum, Chinese track spectrum, German high and low-disturbance track spectrum) are compared and implemented into the calculation script. The calculated results indicate a rail displacement of 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm. Vibration tests of the proposed rail-borne device are conducted; a hydraulic driven system with excitation force up to 140 kN is exploited to generate the realistic wheel-rail interaction force. The proposed rail-borne energy harvester is capable of energy harvesting at low-frequency (5 Hz to 7 Hz) and small railway vibration (0.2 mm to 0.4 mm rail displacement). The output power of 4.9 mW with a load impedance of 100 kOhm is achieved. The open circuit peak-peak voltage reaches 24.4 V at 0.2 mm/7 Hz/5 g wheel-rail excitation. A DC-DC buck converter is designed, which works at the resonance frequency of 23 Hz/5 g on a lab vibration rig, providing a 3.3 VDC output.
Risk of Cerebral Embolization with Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: Review Article
Authors: Dietl Charles A. , Hawthorn Christopher M. , Raizada Veena 
Published: November 2016

Background:Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is believed to have a benign prognosis. Several authors have recommended conservative management in asymptomatic patients. However, the prevalence of cerebrovascular events (CVE) in patients with CCMA has never been evaluated before. The aims of this study are to investigate whether patients with CCMA are at increased risk of cerebral embolization, and to determine whether elective surgical resection of CCMA should be considered to prevent a cardioembolic stroke.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was obtained from MEDLINEviaPubMed.gov, ScienceDirect.com, and Google Scholar using the following search queries: caseous calcification of the mitral annulus, intracardiac pseudotumor, mitral annular calcification, and cardioembolic stroke.Results:From our initial search that yielded 1,502 articles, we identified a total of 130 patients with CCMA reported in 86 publications. Literature review revealed that the prevalence of CVE associated with CCMA is 19.2% (25 of 130) which is significantly higher than the prevalence of CVE reported with mitral annular calcification (MAC), 11.8% (214 of 1818) (range 4.8% to 24.1%) (P= 0.01796) (odds ratio = 1.78; 0.95 confidence interval = 1.1278 – 2.8239). Only four of 25 (16.0%) patients with CCMA who suffered a CVE had history of atrial fibrillation (AF).Conclusion:Based on our review, it would be reasonable to consider elective surgical resection of CCMA in asymptomatic patients who are good surgical candidates, because patients with CCMA may be at increased risk of embolic strokes, which are unrelated to AF.
POTENSI PENGEMBANGAN KARET MELALUI PENGUSAHAAN HUTAN TANAMAN INDUSTRI
Authors: Nugroho Priyo Adi 
Published: November 2016

Tingginya minat investor untuk mengusahakan komoditas karet tidak diimbangi dengan ketersediaan lahan di wilayah tradisional karet. Selain di areal HGU, pengusahaan tanaman karet berpeluang untuk dilakukan pada areal-areal dengan status kawasan hutan yang diakomodasi dalam Hutan Tanaman Industri (HTI). Sebagai salah satu tanaman kehutanan, karet mempunyai keunggulan di antaranya sebagai penghasil kayu, penambat CO2 dan penghasil O2, serta sebagai tanaman konservasi. Selain itu, pengembangan perkebunan karet pada areal-areal HTI yang berhimpitan dengan pemukiman masyarakat juga dapat dijadikan alternatif untuk mencegah konflik antara perusahaan dengan masyarakat sekitar. Namun demikian untuk pengembangan agribisnis karet di areal HTI perlu dipertimbangkan beberapa hal terutama terkait dengan kelayakan lahan yang akan diusahakan, kesesuaian klon yang akan digunakan dan kultur teknis yang diterapkan, serta ketersediaan tenaga kerja setempat.

Authors: Ellenburg Joseph T. , Lieberman Jay A. , Pattanaik Debendra 
Published: November 2016

Background Although allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is effective and safe, nonadherence is common. Limited data exist regarding adherence to ATT, factors that affect adherence, and systemic reactions associated with ATT among veteran populations. Objective To evaluate adherence to AIT and the prevalence of reactions secondary to AIT among patients at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Memphis, Tennessee. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed of veterans who received AIT at a single Veterans Affairs facility. Age, race, sex, the total number of shots, travel distance, a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the number of severe adverse reactions were compared between the veterans who were adherent and veterans who were nonadherent. Results The overall adherence rate was 60.9%. Factors associated with adherence were a chart diagnosis of PTSD (293% [adherent group] versus 13.6% [nonadherent group]; p = 0.03) and home residence being a further distance from the facility (21.9 miles / 35.2 kilometers [adherent group] versus 18.0 miles/28.9 kilometers [nonadherentgroup]; p = 0.03). Patients who were adherent received an average of more total injections compared with patients who were nonadherent. Age, sex, race, and history of systemic reactions during AIT displayed no statistically significant differences between the groups. There were a total of 20 systemic reactions, and the systemic reaction rate was 0.2% per AIT encounter and 0.1% per injection. Conclusion AIT adherence and systemic reaction rates among veterans at our facility was comparable with similar studies. Adherence was associated with a chart diagnosis of PTSD and home residence that was further away from the clinic.
PIXEL ANALYSIS OF PHOTOSPHERIC SPECTRAL DATA. I. PLASMA DYNAMICS
Authors: Rasca Anthony P. , Chen James , Pevtsov Alexei A. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Recent observations of the photosphere using high spatial and temporal resolution show small dynamic features at or below the current resolving limits. A new pixel dynamics method has been developed to analyze spectral profiles and quantify changes in line displacement, width, asymmetry, and peakedness of photospheric absorption lines. The algorithm evaluates variations of line profile properties in each pixel and determines the statistics of such fluctuations averaged over all pixels in a given region. The method has been used to derive statistical characteristics of pixel fluctuations in observed quiet-Sun regions, an active region with no eruption, and an active region with an ongoing eruption. Using Stokes I images from the Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) of the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS) telescope on 2012 March 13, variations in line width and peakedness of Fe i 6301.5 Å are shown to have a distinct spatial and temporal relationship with an M7.9 X-ray flare in NOAA 11429. This relationship is observed as stationary and contiguous patches of pixels adjacent to a sunspot exhibiting intense flattening in the line profile and line-center displacement as the X-ray flare approaches peak intensity, which is not present in area scans of the non-eruptive active region. The analysis of pixel dynamics allows one to extract quantitative information on differences in plasma dynamics on sub-pixel scales in these photospheric regions. The analysis can be extended to include the Stokes parameters and study signatures of vector components of magnetic fields and coupled plasma properties.
EFFECT OF SURFACE-MANTLE WATER EXCHANGE PARAMETERIZATIONS ON EXOPLANET OCEAN DEPTHS
Authors: Komacek Thaddeus D. , Abbot Dorian S. 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
Terrestrial exoplanets in the canonical habitable zone may have a variety of initial water fractions due to random volatile delivery by planetesimals. If the total planetary water complement is high, the entire surface may be covered in water, forming a “waterworld.” On a planet with active tectonics, competing mechanisms act to regulate the abundance of water on the surface by determining the partitioning of water between interior and surface. Here we explore how the incorporation of different mechanisms for the degassing and regassing of water changes the volatile evolution of a planet. For all of the models considered, volatile cycling reaches an approximate steady state after

. Using these steady states, we find that if volatile cycling is either solely dependent on temperature or seafloor pressure, exoplanets require a high abundance (

of total mass) of water to have fully inundated surfaces. However, if degassing is more dependent on seafloor pressure and regassing mainly dependent on mantle temperature, the degassing rate is relatively large at late times and a steady state between degassing and regassing is reached with a substantial surface water fraction. If this hybrid model is physical, super-Earths with a total water fraction similar to that of the Earth can become waterworlds. As a result, further understanding of the processes that drive volatile cycling on terrestrial planets is needed to determine the water fraction at which they are likely to become waterworlds.
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF IRRADIATION-DRIVEN HYDROGEN ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION IN ANALOGS OF PROTOPLANETARY HYDROUS SILICATE DUST
Authors: Roskosz Mathieu , Laurent Boris , Leroux Hugues , Remusat Laurent 
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT
The origin of hydrogen in chondritic components is poorly understood. Their isotopic composition is heavier than the solar nebula gas. In addition, in most meteorites, hydrous silicates are found to be lighter than the coexisting organic matter. Ionizing irradiation recently emerged as an efficient hydrogen fractionating process in organics, but its effect on H-bearing silicates remains essentially unknown. We report the evolution of the D/H of hydrous silicates experimentally irradiated by electrons. Thin films of amorphous silica, amorphous “serpentine,” and pellets of crystalline muscovite were irradiated at 4 and 30 keV. For all samples, irradiation leads to a large hydrogen loss correlated with a moderate deuterium enrichment of the solid residue. The entire data set can be described by a Rayleigh distillation. The calculated fractionation factor is consistent with a kinetically controlled fractionation during the loss of hydrogen. Furthermore, for a given ionizing condition, the deuteration of the silicate residues is much lower than the deuteration measured on irradiated organic macromolecules. These results provide firm evidence of the limitations of ionizing irradiation as a driving mechanism for D-enrichment of silicate materials. The isotopic composition of the silicate dust cannot rise from a protosolar to a chondritic signature during solar irradiations. More importantly, these results imply that irradiation of the disk naturally induces a strong decoupling of the isotopic signatures of coexisting organics and silicates. This decoupling is consistent with the systematic difference observed between the heavy organic matter and the lighter water typically associated with minerals in the matrix of most carbonaceous chondrites.

Objective.Cardiac involvement during systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may include the pericardium, myocardium, valvular tissue, and coronary arteries. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, biological, and radiological presentation of lupus myocarditis (LM) as well as the treatment response and longterm outcomes.Methods.We conducted a multicentric retrospective study of LM from January 2000 to May 2014.Results.Twenty-nine patients (3 men and 26 women) fulfilled the inclusion criteria (median age at the diagnosis of SLE: 30 yrs, range 16–57). Myocarditis was the first sign of SLE in 17/29 cases (58.6%). Troponin was elevated in 20/25 cases. Electrocardiogram results were abnormal in 25/28 cases. Echocardiography revealed low (≤ 45%) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; 19/29, 66%) and pericardium effusion (20/29, 69%). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed delayed gadolinium enhancement in 9/13 patients (69%). Patients were treated with corticosteroids (n = 28), cyclophosphamide (CYC; n = 16), intravenous immunoglobulins (n = 8), and/or mycophenolate mofetil (n = 2). The median followup was 37 months. One month after the beginning of the treatment, 10/23 patients (43%) who had undergone echocardiography had an LVEF ≥ 55%. At the end of followup, 21/26 patients (81%) exhibited an LVEF ≥ 55%. Three patients died during followup, and 2 died from LM.Conclusion.LM is a severe manifestation of SLE. It can be the first manifestation of the disease or it can occur during followup, in particular in untreated patients. However, the longterm prognosis is typically positive. Patients with less severe disease exhibited good LVEF recovery without CYC.
Les guérisseurs traditionnels et leur pratique thérapeutique « syncrétique » en milieu urbain au Kazakhstan
Authors: Jumageldinov Askar 
Published: November 2016

Les guérisseurs traditionnels au Kazakhstan sont reconnus comme représentants de la médecine « alternative ». Notre objectif était d’étudier leur pratique en milieu urbain et d’analyser la valeur thérapeutique de leurs méthodes de traitement en lien avec les traditions culturelles et religieuses. Dans ce but, nous avons interviewé deux guérisseuses et observé leurs séances de traitement à Astana. L’analyse a montré que le syncrétisme était une caractéristique fondamentale de leur pratique. Cette dernière permet de combiner plusieurs méthodes thérapeutiques pour donner un traitement satisfaisant, et ainsi de résoudre les problèmes des patients.
Les rapports sociaux dans le transfert culturel
Authors: Delanoë Daniel , Moro Marie Rose 
Published: November 2016

Contrairement au contre-transfert culturel, le transfert culturel a été peu étudié. Défini comme les réactions du collectif qui est dans le patient au collectif qui est dans le thérapeute, il demeure un continent noir de la psychanalyse et de l’ethnopsychanalyse. Nous proposons de considérer le transfert culturel comme une relation sociale, mise en jeu dans la consultation transculturelle, et traversée de rapports sociaux, lesquels sont généralement hiérarchiques. Nous proposons une problématisation du transfert culturel autour de cinq logiques structurant les relations entre les groupes d’appartenance des patients et des thérapeutes : la relation de pouvoir entre thérapeute et patient, la relation humanitaire prise entre solidarité et inégalité, les relations postcoloniales entre anciens colonisés et anciens colonisateurs, les rapports sociaux racialisés, la domination culturelle mondialisée. Ces dimensions invitent à parler de transfert socio-culturel plus que d’un transfert culturel.
