Authors: Pádua Diego Galvão , Zampieron Sônia Lúcia Modesto , Nunes Juliano Fiorelini 
Published: December 2014

This study aimed to produce an inventory of the parasitoid Hymenoptera for the Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra, using the vegetation sweep method. Between September 2009 the October 2010, 6,489 exemplars were collected, belonging to eight superfamilies and 24 families. Eulophidae, Braconidae, Platygastridae, Pteromalidae and Encyrtidae were the families with the highest relative abundance, being responsible for 18.6%, 18.5%, 15.8%, 10.3%, and 9.8% the total number of collected, respectively. Nineteen families combined contributed less than 4% of the sample. The greatest diversity occurred at sample points located on the base of the Chapadão da Canastra, influenced, probably, by the phytophysiognomic gradient in this region. A similarity analysis this study with other surveys of parasitoid wasps in the Cerrado, besides a preliminary table of Pimplinae (Ichneumonidae) genus is presented.

Mildred Custin: Bonwit Teller’s Man of the Year
Authors: Mamp Michael , Marcketti Sara B. 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Mildred Custin served as the President of New York City-based retailer Bonwit Teller from 1965 to 1970. The 1960s was a period of rapid cultural change fuelled by multiple social paradigm shifts related to concepts of gender, race, sexuality and age. Fashion of the era reflected these changing ideals. During this time, Custin introduced European designers such as Pierre Cardin and André Courrèges to the American market. In the Unites States she placed the first major order of up-and-coming designer Calvin Klein. The introduction of menswear under Custin’s leadership to Bonwit’s previously women’s only assortment fuelled the spread of the Peacock Revolution in the United States. As a woman with a gentle voice but clear fashion vision, she embraced styles of the era and successfully led Bonwit Teller through a turbulent period of social history.

Abstract
For a discrete group G, we consider the minimal

-subalgebra of

\ell^{\infty}

(G) that arises as the image of a unital positive G-equivariant projection. This algebra always exists and is unique up to isomorphism. It is trivial if and only if G is amenable. We prove that, more generally, it can be identified with the algebra C(

) of continuous functions on Furstenberg’s universal G-boundary

G

.
This operator-algebraic construction of the Furstenberg boundary has a number of interesting consequences. We prove that G is exact precisely when the G-action on

{\mathrm{C}^{*}_{r}(G)}

.
The algebra C(

) arises as an injective envelope in the sense of Hamana, which implies rigidity results for certain G-equivariant maps. We prove a generalization of a rigidity result of Ozawa for G-equivariant maps between spaces of functions on the hyperbolic boundary of a hyperbolic group. Our result applies to hyperbolic groups, but also to groups that are not hyperbolic or even relatively hyperbolic, including certain mapping class groups.
It is a longstanding open problem to determine which groups are

-simple if and only if the G-action on the Furstenberg boundary is topologically free. We apply this result to prove that Tarski monster groups are

Stereomicroscopic optical method for the assessment of load transfer patterns across the wood-adhesive bond interphase
Authors: Schwarzkopf Matthew , Muszyński Lech 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
The mechanical performance of wood-based composites is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. In laminated wood composites, this load transfer is facilitated by the adhesive bond. The experimental methodology developed in this study measures and analyzes the full-field deformation and strain distributions across the loaded wood-adhesive interphase at a micromechanical level. Optical measurements were performed based on the principles of digital image correlation by a stereomicroscopic camera system. This system allows the monitoring of in-plane deformations as well as out-of-plane displacements, providing full-field 3D surface strain maps across the adhesive bond. These measurements can be used to improve the understanding of the load transfer between the adherents and the contribution of the adhesive to the mechanical properties of the bulk composite and serve as a quantitative input for numerical modeling and simulations aimed at the improvement of the products.
The Burial of Psusennes I and “The Bad Times” of P. Brooklyn 16.205
Authors: Thijs Ad 
Published: December 2014

Summary:
This article deals with the last decade of the reign of Psusennes I in the light of the short chronology set out in earlier articles by the same author. It is argued that the burials of Psusennes I, HPA Menkheperre, HPA Nesubanebded, Khakheperre Pinuzem, the Devotee of Hathor Henttawy and Queen Nodjmet all took place within a very short period of time, called in P. Brooklyn 16.205 “the Bad Times”. Elements of the funeral equipment of these individuals are discussed and several severe problems with the traditional views on these burials are highlighted. The author further discusses the Report of Wenamun and presents an alternative identification for its Nesubanebded.

Published: December 2014

Today consumers prefer foods that not only provide basic nutrition but also contain compounds that confer health benefits. Among the functional food, synbiotic products are showing a promising future. Soy based synbiotic products using different probiotics: A1B and MgA (lactobacillus strains) and L.rhamanosus ATCC 9595 and prebiotics: lactulose, sunfibre and inulin were prepared and its antiradical activities along with other characteristics were studied. The study also aimed to determine the most suitable prebiotics and probiotics. Furthermore, the prebiotics and the organisms were also cultured in buffalo milk to compare its properties with synbiotic soy yoghurt. Synbiotic soy yoghurt showed highest anti-radical activity with % inhibition at the range of 41-45 % and the one with probiotic L.rhamnosus and prebiotic inulin was found to be the most suitable product.

Study on Phenolic Compounds and Effect of Time-Temperature Treatment on Amylase Activities of High Hill Buckwheat in Nepal
Authors: Poudel Pradeep Kaji , Karki Dhan B. 
Published: December 2014

Two varieties of buckwheat, mithe, Fagopyrum esculentum and tite, Fagopyurum tataricum,were collected from Mustang district, Nepal, and their proximate composition was analyzed. Total flavonoids, Tannin and Total phenolics were significantly higher (p<0.05) in tite than in mithe buckwheat. Samples of Buckwheat were steeped in water for 12 h and germinated for 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 h at eachtem perature of 15, 20, 23 and 27 ºC. The germination inhibited by stepwise drying from 50 to 80 ºC. Effect of germination time and buckwheat variety on amylase activity was studied. Germination time had a significant effect on amylase activity of buckwheat malts. Tite and mithe buckwheat were grown under four different temperatures at 15, 20, 23 and 27 ºC for 48, 72,96, 120 and 144 h. However, mithe buckwheat was not germinated at 27 ºC. The maximum amylase activity was observed at 23ºC for 96 h. At this temperature mithe and tite buckwheat had alpha and beta amylase activity 13.87 and 268.97 units/gdry malt and 13.18 and 275.96 units/g dry malt,respectively. Due to high amylase activity of tite buckwheat was selected and malted in bulk quantity. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v8i0.11749 J. Food Sci. Technol. Nepal, Vol. 8 (46-51), 2013
Eye donation awareness among medical and paramedical staff in a medical institute
Authors: Arya Sudesh Kumar , Gupta Neeti , Malik Archana 
Published: December 2014

Introduction: Corneal diseases constitute a significant cause of visual impairment and blindness in the developing world. The number of corneal transplants done is far less than required due to the lack of donor cornea. A well informed and motivated medical and paramedical staff can increase the rate of eye donation by counseling grief-stricken relatives of the deceased for eye donation. Objective: To assess the awareness of the medical and paramedical staff of a medical institute about eye donation. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A self-designed, standardized, single-response type questionnaire on eye donation awareness was prepared and circulated in all the departments of our institute.Results: Of the 395 participants, 317(80.5%) were aware of eye donation, 312(80%) knew that the cornea is used for eye donation and 294(76%) knew that the ideal time for eye donation is within six hours of death. Only 286(72.4%) knew about pledging for eye donation and only 251(65.4%) consented for pledge of their eyes. Of those who did not want to pledge, 12(14.8%) had religious reasons, 9(11.1%) feared disfigurement, 9(11.1%) thought that they might be born blind in their next birth and 51(63%) had some other reasons.Conclusion: There is a need for regular eye donation awareness programs not only in the community but even for the medical and paramedical staff in hospitals and medical colleges. This will ultimately enhance the eye donation program in the country to help cope with the backlog in the long term.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v6i2.11700Nepal J Ophthalmol 2014; 6(12): 177-184
Anterior lens capsule rupture following minor blunt trauma with a past history of minimal change glomerulopathy
Authors: Lau Stephen V Lau V , Kansakar Prerana , Limbu Ben 
Published: December 2014

Introduction: Few cases have been reported describing anterior lens capsule ruptures secondary to blunt trauma.Case: We present an unusual case of anterior lens capsule ruptures following minor trauma from a human elbow with a two-year history of minimal-change glomerulopathy in a 17-year-old male. In addition to having bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts, he developed an anterior subcapsular cataract underlying the anterior lens rupture in the right eye. He was managed conservatively. Observations: The current case differs from those of the existing literature in terms of the characteristics of the physical insult and the eye on presentation. We suggest there could be a predisposing anterior capsule weakness secondary to the minimal-change glomerulopathy or the associated drug therapy, but there needs to be more evidence to confirm or refute our claim. Conclusions: Anterior lens capsule may rupture following minor trauma on a background of minimal-change glomerulopathy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v6i2.11714Nepal J Ophthalmol 2014; 6 (12): 230-233
Bilateral corneal perforation following the use of traditional herbal medicine treated with conjunctival flap
Authors: Naviri Varanisese , Dethlefs Roger 
Published: December 2014

Introduction: The harmful effect of the herbal medicine to the eye has not been well reported in the literature.Objective: To report a case of bilateral corneal perforation following the use of traditional herbal medicine treated with conjunctival flap.Case: A 46-year-old Fijian man initially presented with bilateral conjunctivitis, which was thought to be an allergic response to the use of herbal medicine. Vision at initial presentation was normal and he was treated conservatively. Upon review a week later, his vision had decreased to light perception in both eyes. The examination revealed bilateral corneal perforation with iris prolapse, which was then treated with a full thickness conjunctival flap in both eyes in the same sitting. Upon review at 3 weeks of intervention, his vision had improved to hand motions in the right eye and 6/60 in the left. The anterior chamber was formed on both sides. Conclusion: This case illustrates that the use of herbal medicine can cause corneal melting and subsequently perforations and this can be treated with a conjunctival flap.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v6i2.11716Nepal J Ophthalmol 2014; 6(12): 237-239
Assessment of Readiness for Clinical Decision Support to Aid Laboratory Monitoring of Immunosuppressive Care at U.S. Liver Transplant Centers
Authors: Weir C. , Evans R. S. , Staes C. , Jacobs J. 
Published: December 2014

SummaryBackground: Following liver transplantation, patients require lifelong immunosuppressive care and monitoring. Computerized clinical decision support (CDS) has been shown to improve post-transplant immunosuppressive care processes and outcomes. The readiness of transplant information systems to implement computerized CDS to support post-transplant care is unknown.Objectives: a) Describe the current clinical information system functionality and manual and automated processes for laboratory monitoring of immunosuppressive care, b) describe the use of guidelines that may be used to produce computable logic and the use of computerized alerts to support guideline adherence, and c) explore barriers to implementation of CDS in U.S. liver transplant centers.Methods: We developed a web-based survey using cognitive interviewing techniques. We surveyed 119 U.S. transplant programs that performed at least five liver transplantations per year during 2010–2012. Responses were summarized using descriptive analyses; barriers were identified using qualitative methods.Results: Respondents from 80 programs (67% response rate) completed the survey. While 98% of programs reported having an electronic health record (EHR), all programs used paper-based manual processes to receive or track immunosuppressive laboratory results. Most programs (85%) reported that 30% or more of their patients used external laboratories for routine testing. Few programs (19%) received most external laboratory results as discrete data via electronic interfaces while most (80%) manually entered laboratory results into the EHR; less than half (42%) could integrate internal and external laboratory results. Nearly all programs had guidelines regarding pre-specified target ranges (92%) or testing schedules (97%) for managing immunosuppressive care. Few programs used computerized alerting to notify transplant coordinators of out-of-range (27%) or overdue laboratory results (20%).Conclusions: Use of EHRs is common, yet all liver transplant programs were largely dependent on manual paper-based processes to monitor immunosuppression for post-liver transplant patients. Similar immunosuppression guidelines provide opportunities for sharing CDS once integrated laboratory data are available.Citation: Jacobs J, Weir C, Evans RS, Staes C.

ImportanceChildbearing has been a particular barrier to successful recruitment and retention of women in surgery. Pregnant surgeons are more likely to have major pregnancy complications, such as preterm delivery, intrauterine growth restriction, infertility, and miscarriage, compared with nonsurgeons. The average obstetric complication rate for surgeons ranges between 25% and 82% in the literature and is considerably higher than that in the general US population at 5% to 15%.ObservationsThe risks that pregnant surgeons experience were individually analyzed. These risks included missed prenatal care; musculoskeletal hazards, such as prolonged standing, lifting, and bending; long work hours; overnight calls; exposure to teratogenic agents, such as ionizing radiation, anesthetic gases, chemotherapy agents, and methyl methacrylate; and psychological stress and discrimination from the long-standing stigma associated with balancing motherhood and professional life.Conclusions and RelevanceA clear, translatable, and enforceable policy addressing perinatal care of surgeons was proposed, citing evidence of the risks reviewed from the literature. A framework of protection for pregnant individuals is essential for attracting talented students into surgery, retaining talented surgical trainees and faculty, and protecting pregnant surgeons and their fetuses.
Slow feature‐constrained decomposition autoencoder: Application to process anomaly detection and localization
Authors: Jia Mingwei , Jiang Lingwei , Hu Junhao , Liu Yi , Chen Tao 
Published: August 2024

SummaryDetecting anomalies in manufacturing processes is crucial for ensuring safety. However, noise significantly undermines the reliability of data‐driven anomaly detection models. To address this challenge, we propose a slow feature‐constrained decomposition autoencoder (SFC‐DAE) for anomaly detection in noisy scenarios. Considering that the process can exhibit both long‐term trends and periodic properties, the process data is decomposed into trends and cycles. The repetitive information is mitigated by slicing and randomly masking certain trends and cycles. Dependencies among slices are constructed to extract intrinsic information, while high‐frequency noise is reduced using a slow feature‐constrained loss. Anomalies are detected and localized through a reconstruction error strategy. The effectiveness of SFC‐DAE is demonstrated using data from a sugar factory and a secure water treatment system.
Microstructure Evolution of Powder‐Mixed Inconel718‐xRene88DT Alloy Fabricated by Direct Laser Deposition

Published: August 2024

By regulating Inconel718‐xRene88DT (x = 0–100%) alloy powder, microstructure evolution and microsegregation of as‐deposited samples fabricated by direct energy deposition (DED) are investigated. The novelty of this approach lies in the systematic regulation of the alloy composition to study its impact on microstructure and microsegregation, which is an important prerequisite to improving the performance of DED superalloys. It is found that the as‐deposited microstructure mainly consists of predominant γ columnar dendrites directionally growing along the deposition direction. With the increase of Rene88DT proportion, thelayered structure tends to be more obvious, and the amount and size of γ′ phase increases. The content of the Laves phase is in decline. As a result of the microsegregation, the needlelike δ (Ni3Nb) and lath‐shaped η (Ni3Ti) precipitate in the interdendritic regions when the proportion of Rene88DT is above 60%. The various microstructures, microsegregation, and their correlations at different proportions of Rene88DT DED samples are discussed. The relationship between composition and microstructure evolution is investigated based on the alloying mechanism, which can guide alloy design and process optimization for enhanced properties in AM‐built Ni‐based superalloys.

AbstractIt is shown that the self‐assembly of a surface‐confined metal–organic network such as cobalt porphyrins on graphene is accompanied by the evolution of coordination‐dependent observables in the electronic structure: variation of the layer's valence states within almost 1 eV range and of the metal atoms oxidation states. Coordination of cobalt porphyrins, driven by Co ad‐atoms, allows the synthesis of single metal atom centers with +3, +2, or +1 oxidation states. The electronic structure is determined by lateral interactions extending up to a few nanometers, beyond nearest‐neighbor distances. The reactivity of the single Co sites, which is strongly dependent on the local electronic configuration and, thus, on the metal‐specific oxidation state, is probed by carbon monoxide, which is found to ligate at pyridinic Co(I) at room temperature for background pressures above a fraction of a mbar.
