Authors: Divya Kadakanchi , Devi D. A. Rajini , Suhasini K. , Meena A. 
Published: August 2024

Aims: To identify the problems and constraints of stakeholders in warehousing system in Telangana state.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Mahbubnagar and Jagtial districts of Telangana state, which were selected purposively based on the number of warehouses available in the districts. The study was conducted between 2023 to 2024.
Methodology: The sample consists of 120 respondents which include different stakeholders viz., farmers, warehouse investors, warehouse managers, Handling and Transportation (H&T) contractor, H&T labour, Junior Assistant and Technical Assistant. All the stakeholders were selected using random sampling technique. Garrett’s ranking technique was employed to analyze the data.The data was collected through personal interview method using pre-tested schedules.
Results: The study revealed that, the absence of warehouse space was regarded as the major constraint experienced by farmers, with a mean score value of 71.77, followed by financial difficulties in paying off debts (55.7). Two biggest challenges experienced by warehouse investors were limited stock arrivals (69.375) and stock rejections due to poor quality (62.5). The primary challenge, according to the warehouse manager and H&T contractor, is the shortage of labour for stocking, loading, and unloading of lots. H&T labour reported the major constraints they faced was lack of frequent employment (62.38) followed by migration from native places in search of work (57.88). Technical assistants have identified two constraints and they are changes in standard operating procedures (65.625) and extended working hours during peak seasons (60.625). Junior assistants had faced difficulties with maintaining pest-free goods (63.125) and rodent-caused storage losses (51.25).
Conclusion: The study recommends providing more storage facilities and issuing Nego able Warehouse Receipts to farmers, as well as improving the living conditions of H&T labourers to ensure their stable employment. Additionally, regular pest control and adherence to standardized warehouse management procedures are crucial for system improvement

Abstract

Introduction
Treatment-emergent sexual dysfunction (TESD) is a commonly reported side effect of antidepressant medications in clinical trials. Limited literature exists exploring the role of routine use of the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) in identification of TESD in clinical practice. Therefore, we completed a retrospective study with the primary goal of capturing the rates of sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant use among adult patients at an outpatient encounter with a psychiatric clinical pharmacist between June 2020 and March 2022.

Methods
Rates of identification of sexual dysfunction were compared pre-ASEX survey (June 2020 to June 2021) to post-ASEX survey (July 2021 to March 2022).

Results
There was a significant increase in the identification of sexual dysfunction following implementation of the ASEX scale (10% in the pre-ASEX group versus 59% meeting sexual dysfunction criteria with the ASEX scale). Approximately 70% of patients in the post-ASEX group shared they would not have reported symptoms unless directly asked.

Discussion
In conclusion, a validated survey (ASEX) in an ambulatory psychiatry clinic improves identification of sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressants. Use of interdisciplinary care teams in the setting of medication follow-up can assist with identifying tolerability concerns between visits with patients’ prescribing clinicians.

Abstract
Clinical pharmacists play a valuable role on collaborative health care teams, especially in the field of mental health. However, there is a need to explore innovative practice models that optimize their potential in providing comprehensive medication management in inpatient psychiatric settings. This report aims to describe the implementation of a practice model using an inpatient psychiatric clinical pharmacist practitioner performing comprehensive medication management. The implementation of a practice model using a psychiatric clinical pharmacist practitioner was a feasible way to deliver comprehensive medication management and other clinical services in an inpatient psychiatric setting amid staffing challenges. Whereas limitations such as resource constraints must be considered, the success of this model highlights the value of a versatile psychiatric clinical pharmacist practitioner. These findings might offer insight to other health care facilities considering a similar approach to provide mental health care through the use of a psychiatric clinical pharmacist practitioner.
Measuring eddy heat, constituent, and momentum fluxes with high‐resolution Na and Fe Doppler lidars
Authors: Gardner Chester S. , Liu Alan Z. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractVertical transport by turbulent mixing plays a fundamental role in establishing the thermal and constituent structure of the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). Because of observational challenges, eddy heat, constituent, and momentum fluxes, and the associated coefficients for thermal (kH), constituent (kzz), and momentum (kM), diffusion have not been well characterized in the MLT. We show that properly configured Na and Fe Doppler lidars, with sufficient resolution to observe the turbulence‐induced wind, temperature, and density fluctuations, can make direct measurements of eddy fluxes throughout the mesopause region. When the horizontal (zθL with z = altitude and θL = full width at half maximum laser divergence), vertical (Δz), and temporal (Δt) resolutions of the lidar satisfy the condition ≤ 270 m (125 m), where is the mean horizontal wind velocity, the observations include more than 80% (90%) of the energy in the turbulence fluctuations, and the observed fluxes and derived diffusivities will be highly representative of the actual values. For existing Na and Fe Doppler lidars, which have modest power‐aperture products of about 1 W m2, long averaging times (5–20 h) are required to obtain statistically significant estimates of the eddy fluxes, kzz, kH, and kM profiles, and the turbulent Prandtl number (Pr = kM/kH) between about 85 and 100 km. These systems are capable of measuring the weekly or monthly mean flux and diffusivity profiles. Systems with power‐aperture products of 5–100 W m2 or larger could be used to study the eddy fluxes generated by the dissipation and breaking of individual gravity waves to altitudes as high as the turbopause (~110 km).

AbstractContourites in the Gulf of Cádiz (GC) preserve a unique archive of Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) variability over the past 5.3 Ma. In our study, we investigate the potential of geochemical data obtained by XRF scanning to decipher bottom current processes and paleoclimatic evolution at two different sites drilled during IODP Expedition 339 through contourites in the northern GC: Site U1387, which is bathed by the upper MOW core, and Site U1389, located more proximal to the Strait of Gibraltar. The lack of major downslope transport during the Pleistocene makes both locations ideally suited for our study. The results indicate that the Zr/Al ratio, representing the relative enrichment of heavy minerals (zircon) over less dense alumnosilicates under fast bottom current flow, is the most useful indicator for a semiquantitative assessment of current velocity. Although most elements are biased by current‐related processes, the bromine (Br) record, representing organic content, preserves the most pristine climate signal rather independent of grain‐size changes. Hence, Br can be used for chronostratigraphy and site‐to‐site correlation in addition to stable isotope stratigraphy. Based on these findings, we reconstructed MOW variability for Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 1–5 using the Zr/Al ratio from Site U1387. The results reveal abrupt, millennial‐scale variations of MOW strength during Greenland Stadials (GS) and Interstadials (GI) with strong MOW during GS and glacial Terminations and a complex behavior during Heinrich Stadials. Millennial‐scale variability persisting during periods of poorly expressed GS/GI cyclicities implies a strong internal oscillation of the Mediterranean/North Atlantic climate system.

AbstractRainfall monitoring based on commercial terrestrial microwave links is tested for the first time in Burkina Faso, in Sahelian West Africa. In collaboration with one national cellular phone operator, Telecel Faso, the attenuation on a 29 km long microwave link operating at 7 GHz was monitored at 1 s time rate for the monsoon season 2012. The time series of attenuation is transformed into rain rates and compared with rain gauge data. The method is successful in quantifying rainfall: 95% of the rainy days are detected. The correlation with the daily rain gauge series is 0.8, and the season bias is 6%. The correlation at the 5 min time step within each event is also high. These results demonstrate the potential interest of exploiting national and regional wireless telecommunication networks for monitoring rainfall in Africa, where operational rain gauge networks are degrading and the hydrometeorological risk increasing.
The role of large‐scale convective organization for tropical high cloud amount
Authors: Radley C. , Fueglistaler S. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractTropical high clouds are closely coupled to deep convection, but local cloud amount and convective mass flux are nonlinearly related. We use the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory atmosphere‐only model AM2 forced with idealized sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations to study the sensitivity of high clouds to the large‐scale distribution of convection. Increasing/decreasing the SST contrast between convective and nonconvective regions decreases/increases the tropical deep convective area, and warming of convective areas decreases the tropical average convective mass flux (〈mc〉). In all experiments, fractional high cloud amount changes are less than fractional changes in 〈mc〉. High cloud amount is half as sensitive as expected from the climatological average cloud amount, as a function of convective mass flux, due to strong compensation from nonconvective high clouds. The latter results from changes in relative humidity related to the change in 〈mc〉. This effect renders high cloud amount remarkably robust to perturbations, though radiative effects of convective and nonconvective clouds will differ.
On the nature and location of the proposed twin vortex systems in Saturn's polar upper atmosphere
Authors: Smith C. G. A. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractTwin vortices in Saturn's northern and southern polar ionospheres have been proposed as the drivers of the ∼10.7 h periodicities in the magnetosphere. We critically analyze this model from an atmospheric perspective, identifying two broad problems: first, the difficulty in reconciling a ∼10.7 h periodicity with the strongly subcorotational flows that are observed in the polar ionosphere; second, the very large energy requirement for sustaining the vortices against Joule dissipation. We propose a model in which the twin vortex originates neither in the plasma nor in the thermosphere but deeper in the atmosphere, around 750 km altitude. At this altitude the gas is expected to be close to corotation, and Joule dissipation is low. A twin vortex system at this altitude blowing laterally across the Hall conductance gradient at the main auroral oval generates field‐aligned currents which are qualitatively similar to those driven by a plasma vortex or thermospheric vortex at higher altitudes.
Coseismic magnetization of fault pseudotachylytes: 1. Thermal demagnetization experiments

Published: July 2014

AbstractFault pseudotachylytes form by quenching of silicate liquids produced through coseismic frictional melting. Here we show that in natural pseudotachylytes the main carrier of magnetic remanence blocked in during cooling of the frictional melt is fine‐grained magnetite. This confirms previous studies on friction melt experiments. Stoichiometric magnetite, produced during earthquakes by the breakdown of ferromagnesian silicates, records the ambient magnetic field during seismic slip. We find that most fault pseudotachylytes exposed in the Santa Rosa Mountains, southern California, a classic pseudotachylyte locality, acquired their natural remanent magnetization (NRM) upon cooling of the frictional melt through the range of magnetization blocking temperatures of the magnetite grains and this primarily constitutes a thermal remanent magnetization. NRM intensities typical of most pseudotachylyte veins range from 1 to 60·10−4 Am2/kg. A few specimens, however, contain magnetizations significantly higher than that caused by the Earth's field as well as magnetization directions that are highly variable over short distances. Other magnetization processes, possibly related to coseismic electric currents, may be involved during the seismogenic process to control NRM acquisition.

AbstractA collision of Mediterranean Water dipoles in the Gulf of Cadiz is studied here, using data from the MedTop and Semane experiments. First, a Mediterranean Water eddy (meddy) was surveyed hydrologically in November 2000 southwest of Cape Saint Vincent. Then, this meddy drifted northeastward from this position, accompanied by a cyclone (detected only via altimetry), thus forming a first dipole. In February 2001, a dipole of Mediterranean Water was measured hydrologically just after its formation near Portimão Canyon. This second dipole drifted southwestward. The western and eastern meddies had hydrological radii of about 22 and 25 km, respectively, with corresponding temperature and salinity maxima of (13.45°C, 36.78) and (11.40°C, 36.40). Rafos float trajectories and satellite altimetry indicate that these two dipoles collided early April 2001, south of Cape Saint Vincent, near 35°30′N, 10°15′W. More precisely, the eastern meddy wrapped around the western one. This merger resulted in an anticyclone (a meddy) which drifted southeastward, coupled with the eastern cyclone. Hydrological sections across this final third resulting dipole, performed in July 2001 in the southern Gulf of Cadiz, confirm this interaction: the thermohaline characteristics of the final meddy can be tracked back to the original structures. The subsequent evolution of this dipole was analyzed with Rafos float trajectories. A numerical simulation of the interaction between the two earlier dipoles is also presented. We suggest that these dipole collisions at the Mediterranean Water level may represent a mechanism of generation of the larger meddies that finally leave the Gulf of Cadiz.
Global observations of quasi‐zonal bands in microwave sea surface temperature

Published: July 2014

AbstractGlobal observations of quasi‐zonal jet‐like structures have recently been reported in estimates of upper ocean circulation. To date, these observations have come primarily from float‐derived and altimeter‐derived estimates of zonal velocity. Here, we explore the existence of similar structures in the ocean using satellite‐derived estimates of sea surface temperature (SST) from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR‐E). Applying an ocean front detection algorithm globally to microwave measurements of SST, we find that repeated ocean fronts occur along quasi‐zonal bands in a multiyear (2002–2011) average of detections. Such a pattern is also observed in SST gradient magnitude. Composite analyses of SST, sea surface height (SSH), and upper ocean temperatures from Argo profiling floats suggest repeated fronts in the subtropics occur as a result of neighboring anticyclonic and cyclonic eddies. Horizontal advection in the presence of a background temperature gradient likely plays a role as evidenced by the tilt of temperature anomalies with depth. High gradient events found within the bands are observed to propagate westward with speed comparable to mesoscale eddies and we estimate these events explain 20% of the observed variance in SST gradient magnitude (2002–2011). In a final analysis, we regress the decay of the bands with averaging period and observe mild‐to‐strong persistence throughout much of the World Ocean. These findings support the view that propagating eddies help give rise to the bands. Whether or not eddies follow preferred paths remain unanswered.
Synoptic scale outbreak of self‐initiated upward lightning (SIUL) from tall structures during the central U.S. blizzard of 1–2 February 2011
Authors: Warner Tom A. , Lang Timothy J. , Lyons Walter A. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractA major central U.S. winter cyclone on 1–2 February 2011 produced a band of high winds, up to 75 cm of snow, and numerous reports of thundersnow from Oklahoma into Ontario over a 26 h period. The National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) recorded 282 flashes comprised of 1153 events which were >96% negative polarity. Hopes of imaging winter sprites associated with energetic positive cloud‐to‐ground events that sometimes accompany such winter storms did not materialize. However, the lack of lightning over the Great Lakes waters, plus media reports of numerous thundersnow events in downtown Chicago, prompted a detailed analysis of the NLDN data. This revealed that >93% of all lightning in the snow band was likely or possibly associated with self‐initiated upward lightning (SIUL) events from a variety of tall, and some not so tall, structures. In addition to 43 events from two Chicago skyscrapers, many shorter structures were involved, including wind turbines (13.1% of the total) and transmission line towers (6.7%). Wind speeds for all events exceeded the 8 m s−1 minimum threshold associated with SIULs in Japanese winter lightning storms. Radar reflectivities at the event locations had a mean of 28 dBZ and were almost always <35 dBZ. While conventional radar displays suggested stratiform precipitation in the thundersnow region, detailed analysis of 3‐D‐gridded NMQ (National Mosaic and Multi‐Sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) radar reflectivity data confirmed elevated embedded cellular convection spanning the −10°C region associated with isentropic lifting above a frontal surface, evidence of noninductive charge generation sufficient to allow upward leader initiation from tall objects.
Aerosol effects on cirrus through ice nucleation in the Community Atmosphere Model CAM5 with a statistical cirrus scheme

Published: July 2014

AbstractA statistical cirrus scheme that tracks ice saturation ratio in the clear‐sky and cloudy portion of a grid box separately has been implemented into the Community Atmosphere Model CAM5 to provide a consistent treatment of ice nucleation and cloud formation. Simulated ice supersaturation and ice crystal number concentrations strongly depend on the number concentrations of heterogeneous ice nuclei (IN), subgrid temperature formulas, and the number concentration of sulfate particles participating in homogeneous freezing, while simulated ice water content is insensitive to these perturbations. Allowing 1–10% of dust particles to serve as heterogeneous IN is found to produce ice supersaturation in better agreement with observations. Introducing a subgrid temperature perturbation based on long‐term aircraft observations produces a better hemispheric contrast in ice supersaturation compared to observations. Heterogeneous IN from dust particles alter the net radiative fluxes at the top of atmosphere (TOA) (−0.24 to −1.59 W m−2) with a significant clear‐sky longwave component (0.01 to −0.55 W m−2). Different cirrus treatments significantly perturb the net TOA anthropogenic aerosol forcing from −1.21 W m−2 to −1.54 W m−2, with a standard deviation of 0.10 W m−2. Aerosol effects on cirrus exert an even larger impact on the atmospheric component of the radiative fluxes (2 or 3 times the changes in the TOA radiative fluxes) and therefore through the fast atmosphere response on the hydrological cycle. This points to the urgent need to quantify aerosol effects on cirrus through ice nucleation and how these further affect the hydrological cycle.
Modeling irrigation behavior in groundwater systems
Authors: Foster Timothy , Brozović Nicholas , Butler Adrian P. 
Published: July 2014

AbstractIntegrated hydro‐economic models have been widely applied to water management problems in regions of intensive groundwater‐fed irrigation. However, policy interpretations may be limited as most existing models do not explicitly consider two important aspects of observed irrigation decision making, namely the limits on instantaneous irrigation rates imposed by well yield and the intraseasonal structure of irrigation planning. We develop a new modeling approach for determining irrigation demand that is based on observed farmer behavior and captures the impacts on production and water use of both well yield and climate. Through a case study of irrigated corn production in the Texas High Plains region of the United States we predict optimal irrigation strategies under variable levels of groundwater supply, and assess the limits of existing models for predicting land and groundwater use decisions by farmers. Our results show that irrigation behavior exhibits complex nonlinear responses to changes in groundwater availability. Declining well yields induce large reductions in the optimal size of irrigated area and irrigation use as constraints on instantaneous application rates limit the ability to maintain sufficient soil moisture to avoid negative impacts on crop yield. We demonstrate that this important behavioral response to limited groundwater availability is not captured by existing modeling approaches, which therefore may be unreliable predictors of irrigation demand, agricultural profitability, and resilience to climate change and aquifer depletion.
