Abstract
Macrosaccus morrisella (Fitch) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is a leaf-mining microlepidopteran native to North America recently reported feeding on soybean in the United States and Canada. Control methods for the management of this pest remain unknown. The insecticides Agri-Mek SC (abamectin) and Endigo ZXC (lambda-cyhalothrin + thiamethoxam) were evaluated for: (i) effects against immature stages of M. morrisella in potted soybean plants; (ii) effects against adults of M. morrisella through different routes of exposure; and (iii) efficacy of field applications against M. morrisella. In the experiment with immature stages, when either insecticide was applied to potted plants with M. morrisella in serpentine or blotch mines, significantly fewer adults emerged compared to the untreated plants. In contrast, adult emergence from potted plants treated with either insecticide when M. morrisella was in tentiform mines did not differ from untreated plants. In the experiment with adults, the survival of M. morrisella exposed to either insecticide through oral exposure or residual contact + oral exposure was significantly lower than that for residual contact exposure alone, which in turn was lower than the untreated control. Within each exposure route, the response to the 2 insecticides did not differ. In the field experiment, at 21 days after insecticide application, the mean percentage of leaf area mined was significantly lower in plots treated with Endigo ZCX compared to plots treated with Agri-Mek SC or those left untreated. These results suggest that Endigo ZXC and to a lesser extent Agri-Mek SC may have potential for management of M. morrisella.

Abstract
Previously developed behavioral approaches for controlling the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) (Diptera: Tephritidae), include attract-and-kill (AK) systems such as perimeter trapping using either, odor-baited red sticky spheres or odor-baited, sticky-free attracticidal spheres with contoured tops that ensure the sustained release of both insecticide and feeding stimulant. Here, over a 3-year span in 26 commercial apple orchards across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, we evaluated the effectiveness of a novel AK strategy for R. pomonella management. Synthetic apple blend lures were deployed on perimeter-row trees to attract the pest, while perimeter-row insecticide sprays blended with 2% sugar, a known phagostimulant, served as the lethal component. Comparatively, grower standard (GS) blocks received full-block insecticide sprays devoid of sugar and lures. Monitoring revealed that red sticky spheres in AK blocks captured significantly more R. pomonella adults than unbaited monitoring spheres in GS blocks. Penetration of R. pomonella into block interiors remained consistently low and statistically similar for both AK and GS blocks. Whole-block infestation levels showed no significant difference between the 2 management approaches. Notably, insecticide application in AK blocks was reduced by 75%, 64.7%, and 64.2% in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively, compared with GS blocks. This grower-friendly AK approach could be integral to a reduced insecticide spray-based strategy for apple cultivation in the northeastern United States.

Abstract
Defensive metabolites and nutrient restriction of host plants are 2 major obstacles to the colonization of insect herbivores. The green peach aphid (GPA) Myzus persicae (Sulzer) broadly colonizes plants with diverse nutritional and defensive traits. However, how GPA adapts to nutritional and defensive traits within different plants remains largely unknown. To elucidate this, we first investigated the performances and transcriptomes of GPA feeding on cabbage Brassica oleracea and pepper Capsicum annuum. The green peach aphid had lower weight and fecundity when feeding on cabbage than on pepper. The transcriptomic analysis found 824 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and 13 of the top 20 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways are related to nutrient metabolism, energy metabolism, and detoxification. Specifically, we found 160 DEGs associated with the metabolism of protein and amino acids, sugar and lipids, and xenobiotic substances, 86 upregulated in cabbage-fed GPA. Fourteen cathepsin B genes were strongly upregulated in cabbage-fed GPA, and were enriched in lysosome pathway and 2 dominated gene ontology terms peptidase activity and proteolysis. In addition, cabbage-fed GPA upregulated sugar and lipid digestion, while downregulated lipid biosynthesis processes. Furthermore, 55 metabolic detoxification enzyme genes were differentially expressed between GPA on 2 hosts, and detoxification enzyme activities of GPA indeed changed accordingly to the host. Then, we found that cabbage has lower amino acids nutrition quality for GPA compared to pepper. Our results suggested that adjustment of nitrogen nutrient metabolism, sugar and lipid metabolism, and metabolic detoxification in a host-specific manner play crucial roles in the adaptations of GPA to different host plants.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are promising promoters in venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the present study, we have investigated the potential thrombogenic role of NETs in colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 583 patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who were diagnosed with or without VTE by extremities arteriovenous ultrasound and computed tomography were enrolled. The incidence of VTE in CRC was as high as 17.53%. In serological ELISA experiments, Cit-H3, myeloperoxidase, and cfDNA were significantly overexpressed in CRC patients with VTE compared with CRC patients without VTE and healthy individuals. Neutrophils from CRC patients with VTE produced appreciable amounts of NETs after stimulation with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, which were lacking in CRC patients without VTE and healthy individuals. CfDNA was positively correlated with plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex and tissue plasmin activator inhibitor-1 complex, and Cit-H3 was positively correlated with plasmin-α2-antiplasmin complex, suggesting that NETs are associated with increased fibrinolytic activity. We screened some NETs-related genes by analyzing several high-throughput sequencing datasets of VTE and NETs. FCGR1A was identified as the optimal target gene by pan-cancer expression analysis and survival analysis. FCGR1A was significantly overexpressed in the peripheral blood of CRC patients without VTE compared with healthy individuals and showed a positive correlation with cfDNA. Neutrophil-derived NETs were significantly reduced by FCGR1A inhibitor exposure. These findings indicate that NETs are actively involved in VTE in CRC. NETs are promising thrombotic marker and therapeutic target in CRC to prevent the thrombotic consequences of cancer.
Assessing the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on 1-year cancer survival in the United States

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on health-care delivery. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data to assess changes in 1-year relative survival and competing risk probabilities of cancer and non-cancer death for patients diagnosed in 2018 Q2 (pre-pandemic) and 2020 Q2 (pandemic). For all cancer sites combined, 1-year relative survival declined from 82.3% in 2018 Q2 to 77.5% in 2020 Q2, with the steepest declines seen in stomach, leukemia, and liver cancers. However, survival improved nearing pre-pandemic levels during 2020 Q3. Competing risk survival measures revealed that the decline in 1-year survival was driven by increases in both the probability of dying of cancer (rising from 15.4% to 19.2%) and of other causes, including COVID-19 (rising from 3.8% to 5.2%). The pandemic led to substantial declines in survival and increased mortality from both cancer and other causes for patients diagnosed in 2020 Q2.
Non-Possessory Security
Authors: Bridge Michael , Gullifer Louise , Lomnicka Eva 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines non-possessory security, both consensual and non-consensual. The concepts of mortgage and charge are discussed, as are the differences between the two, and the significance of the distinction; the difference between a legal and equitable mortgage is also examined. The concept of ‘equity of redemption’ is also discussed, as is the effect of including future property in the scope of the mortgage or charge. The law’s approach to contractual terms (‘clogs’) affecting the equity of redemption is critically discussed, and the right of use in relation to financial collateral. The history, purpose, theories, and operation of the floating charge are discussed, as is the concept of crystallization and its practical significance. The chapter examines significance of the distinction between a fixed and a floating charge, and the impact of that significance on the approach of the courts to characterization. The chapter argues for as clear a test as possible to determine whether a charge is fixed or floating, and discusses the contours of the test laid down in In re Spectrum Plus in the light of this argument, taking into account the more nuanced test suggests in the case of In re Avanti Communications. The equitable lien (the main non-consensual non-possessory security interest) is analysed, and the situations in which it arises discussed both in general and in specific terms, focusing on the many situations in which an equitable lien arises. Recent Supreme Court decisions on solicitors’ liens and trustees’ liens are examined. There is a brief discussion of maritime liens.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses permitted dispositions by a chargor, and the priority consequences of whether a disposition is permitted by the chargee or not. It examines a number of potential priority contests between a fixed charge and a floating charge, and two floating charges, including the effect of the inclusion of a negative pledge clause in a floating charge and the position where one or more floating charges have crystallized. The difficult question of what it means to say that a disponee takes subject to a floating charge is discussed, taking into account the different theoretical analyses of the floating charge.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter recounts in detail the measures that have been taken, as well as the measures proposed and not taken, to reform the English law of security over the last fifty years or so. In considering these proposals, particular attention is dedicated to the radical reforms that have been enacted in the United States and Commonwealth jurisdictions. A particular case study concerns the failed attempt to reform the archaic and unsatisfactory law concerning bills of sale. The chapter concludes by pointing to certain aspects of the current law that might call for further attention on the part of the legislature.
The International Protection of Adults after Brexit
Authors: Franzina Pietro , Kruger Thalia 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The International Protection of Adults is the subject of the 2000 Hague Adults Convention. This Convention is in force in a part of the European Union (EU) (13 of 27 countries) and in a part of the UK (only Scotland). The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities seeks to guarantee human rights. The EU is in the process of legislating on the cross-border protection of adults. The article discusses forms of protection and their cross-border effect. This includes the appointment by adults of representatives for when they might need them later, ex lege representatives and court-ordered measures. The legal patchwork is at the moment not optimal, but if all EU Member States and the entire UK adopt the Hague Adults Convention, the cross-border continuation of protection will be enhanced.
Paederus Dermatitis: Two Outbreaks of an Entomologic Disease in Austere Expeditionary Care
Authors: Brindle Allison N , Ballo Garrett C , Caley Charles M , Mason Michael J , Bennett V William N 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Paederus dermatitis, also known as dermatitis linearis, is an acute cutaneous condition caused by contact with the potent vesicant toxin paederin, produced by endosymbiotic Pseudomonas-like bacteria within Paederus spp. beetles. Paederin is a protein synthesis inhibitor that halts cell division, leading to vesiculation and necrotic breakdown of the epidermis. The resultant damage facilitates secondary infection, especially in austere conditions. Between October 2022 and July 2023, several US special operations teams forward deployed to various countries in East Africa reported over 17 cases of painful, blistering skin eruptions consistent with Paederus dermatitis, 2 of which are summarized in this report. To confirm the best treatment approach, 1 team’s medic reached back to a deployed infectious disease physician in the same Combatant Command as well as through the DoD ADVISOR line to a dermatologist in the United States. All cases were managed with irrigation, followed by a combination of topical steroid and antibacterial ointments, with resolution occurring after 3 to 7 days, whereas 38% of the cases in July 2023 developed secondary cellulitis by day 7, requiring oral antibiotic treatment. Strict preventative measures were implemented to limit exposure while carefully observing each case, as this was critical to optimize medical readiness of the team. Ultimately, we seek to highlight the identification of beetles specific to East Africa, seasonal prevalence, and the importance of preventative measures as they vary depending on specific beetle characteristics. Additionally, we reiterate classic presentation features that help avoid misdiagnosis for cases that occur outside of the typical epidemiologic criteria.

ABSTRACT
We present photometric data of five near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) obtained in the framework of the NEO Rapid Observation, Characterization, and Key Simulations (NEOROCKS) project. The selected asteroids are (351545) 2005 TE15, (438908) 2009 XO, (501647) 2014 SD224, 2015 FC35, and 2016 CO247. Light curves were obtained for all the asteroids using the 0.46-m TAR2 telescope at the Teide Observatory (OT), and spectrophotometric data in g, r, i, z$_s$ filters were obtained for asteroids (438908) 2009 XO and (501647) 2014 SD224 using the MuSCAT-2 instrument attached to the 1.52-m Carlos Sanchez Telescope also at the OT. We derived the rotational period of the five NEAs using Fourier series analysis of the rotational light curves. We found $P = 10.6035 \pm 0.0010$ h for (351545) 2005 TE15, $7.9140 \pm 0.006$ h for (501647) 2014 SD224, $3.4211 \pm 0.0075$ h for 2015 FC35, and $4.800 \pm 0.005$ h for 2016 CO247. We observed two periodic variations for (438908) 2009 XO, a long one with two possible periods of $P_1 = 157.2 \pm 0.4$ h and $P_2 = 304.0 \pm 0.4$ h and a large amplitude of 0.881 mag, and a short one with a period of $P = 13.448 \pm 0.008$ h. Radar data suggest that (438908) 2009 XO could be a contact binary and its double period points towards a non-principal axis rotator. Finally, we used the spectrophotometric data to obtain colours and taxonomic classification for (438908) 2009 XO and (501657) 2014 SD224, concluding that both NEAs are S-type objects.

ABSTRACT
Cooling flows are common in galaxy clusters which have cool cores. The soft X-ray emission below 1 keV from the flows is mostly absorbed by cold dusty gas within the central cooling sites. Further evidence for this process is presented here through a more detailed analysis of the nearby Centaurus cluster and some additional clusters. Predictions of JWST near and mid-infrared spectra from cooling gas are presented. [Ne vi] emission at $7.65\,\mu$m should be an important diagnostic of gas cooling between 6 and $1.5\times 10^5{\rm \, K}$. The emerging overall picture of hidden cooling flows is explored. The efficiency of active galactic nucleus feedback in reducing the total cooling rate in cool cores is shown to be above 50 per cent for many clusters but is rarely above 90 per cent. The reduction is mostly in outer gas. Cooling dominates in elliptical galaxies and galaxy groups that have mass flow rates below about $15{{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }$ and in some massive clusters where rates can exceed $1000{{\rm \, {\rm M}_{\odot }}{\rm \, yr}^{-1}\, }.$

ABSTRACT
Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs) exhibit large equivalent widths (EW) in their rest-optical emission lines ([O iii]$\lambda 5007$ or H $\alpha$ rest-frame EW$\gt 750$ Å) which can be tied to a recent upturn in star formation rate (SFR), due to the sensitivity of the nebular line emission and the rest-optical continuum to young ($\lt 10$ Myr) and evolved stellar populations, respectively. By studying a sample of 85 star-forming galaxies (SFGs), spanning the redshift and magnitude interval $3 \lt z\lt 9.5$ and $-16\gt $M$\rm _{UV}\gt -21$, in the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) with NIRSpec/prism spectroscopy, we determine that SFGs initiate an EELG phase when entering a significant burst of star formation, with the highest EWs observed in EELGs with the youngest luminosity-weighted ages ($\lt 5$ Myr) and the highest burst intensity (those with the greatest excess between their current and long-term average SFR). We spectroscopically confirm that a greater proportion of SFGs are in an EELG phase at high redshift in our UV-selected sample ($61\pm 4~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ in our $z\gt 5.7$ high-redshift bin, compared to $23^{+4}_{-1}\%$ in our lowest redshift bin $3\lt z\lt 4.1$) due to the combined evolution of metallicity, ionization parameter, and star formation histories with redshift. We report that the EELGs within our sample exhibit a higher average ionization efficiency ($\log _{10}(\xi _\mathrm{ion}^\mathrm{HII}/{\rm erg^{-1}Hz}) =25.5\pm 0.2$) than the non-EELGs. High-redshift EELGs therefore comprise a population of efficient ionizing photon producers. Additionally, we report that 53 per cent (9/17) of EELGs at $z\gt 5.7$ have observed Ly $\alpha$ emission, potentially lying within large ionized regions. The high detection rate of Ly $\alpha$ emitters in our EELG selection suggests that the physical conditions associated with entering an EELG phase also promote the escape of Ly $\alpha$ photons.

ABSTRACT
In this study, we conducted experiments to assess the biological effects of high fluences of UV radiation (UVR) on the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system (planets e, f, g within the habitable zone), unlike previous estimates made by other authors which used theoretical approaches. To this end, we first calculated the UV fluxes at the orbits of the planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system during quiescent conditions and during a superflare. We then studied the effects of UVR on microbial life by exposing UV-tolerant (Deinococcus radiodurans) and UV-susceptible bacteria (Escherichia coli) to fluences equivalent to a superflare on the unshielded surface of these planets. Based on the results of our laboratory experiments, we have found a survival fraction of $6.31\times 10^{-8}$ for D. radiodurans and a survival fraction below the limit of detection for E. coli at the surface of the planet e, which would receive the highest UVR flux. These survival fractions were higher for the planets f and g. In contrast to the results obtained by other authors which used theoretical estimates, we show that a fraction of the population of microorganisms could tolerate the high UVR fluences of a superflare on the surface of TRAPPIST-1 planets, even without any shielding such as that provided by an atmosphere or an ocean. Our study evidences the existence of methodological problems in theoretical approaches. It also emphasizes the importance of performing specifically designed biological experiments to predict microbial survival in extraterrestrial contexts.
