Published: January 2015

Objective This study was performed to determine the occurrence of hypoxic hepatitis in full-term neonates after perinatal asphyxia and to correlate between the rise in enzymes and severity of asphyxia with Apgar score and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) grading of the neonates. Method and Material This prospective case-controlled study was conducted in a tertiary-level hospital in India for a period of 12 months. The study group A comprised 70 newborns suffering from birth asphyxia, while 30 healthy neonates were included in group B (control). All biochemical parameters of liver function, ie, serum alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total protein, serum albumin, bilirubin (total and direct), and international normalized ratio (INR), were measured on postnatal days 1, 3, and 10 in both study and control groups. Results In group A, 22.8% newborns had severe (Apgar score 0–3), 47.1% had moderate (Apgar score 4–5), and 30% had mild (Apgar score 6–7) birth asphyxia at five minutes. In all, 14.28% babies were in HIE stage I, 25.73% babies were in HIE stage II, and 11.42% babies were in HIE stage III. The rest of the newborns, 48.57%, were normal. The prevalence of liver function impairment was seen in 42.85% of asphyxiated neonates. On day 1, ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, PT, and INR were significantly higher, and total protein and serum albumin were significantly lower in group A than in group B. However, ALT and AST correlated well with increasing severity of HIE score. On day 3, there was a rising trend observed in the concentration of mean LDH as HIE staging of neonates progressed from stage 0 to stage III, and among various HIE stages, the difference in LDH was statistically significant. Conclusion We concluded that AST, ALT at 24 hours, and LDH at 72 hours of animation can be a utilitarian diagnostic tool to differentiate asphyxiated neonates from non-asphyxiated neonates and to discover the severity of perinatal asphyxia because of easy accessibility and feasibility of tests. The outcomes of this survey would be useful for physicians who receive neonates for whom birth details are not easily documented as most of the time the referred newborn infants lack asphyxia history either because the attendants do not know clearly the whole birth history or it was an unattended delivery, or the referring healthcare professional has not been observant because of legal threats. The neurological assessment also becomes difficult and inconclusive as ventilator treatment, sedative drugs, and anticonvulsant therapy would produce an evaluation of severity of hypoxic ischemic brain disease and neurological insult difficult.

Hungarian Women’s Holocaust Life Writing in the Context of the Nation’s Divided Social Memory, 1944-2014
Authors: Vasvári Louise O. 
Published: January 2015

In this paper, in commemoration of the seventieth anniversary year of 1944 in Hungary, I explore selected women’s Holocaust diaries, memoirs, letters, and other less studied documents, such as recipe books, all written during the war, which can provide invaluable resources for understanding the experiences of the victims of war, by personalizing the events and helping to write the obscure into history. At the same time, such documents allow historical voices of the period to provide testimony in the context of the divided social memory of the Holocaust in Hungary today. I will first discuss several Hungarian diaries and “immediate memoirs” written right after liberation, among others, that of Éva Heyman who began writing her diary in 1944 on her thirteenth birthday and wrote until two days before her deportation to Auschwitz, where she perished. I will then discuss two recently published volumes, the Szakácskönyv a túlélélésért (2013), which contains the collected recipes that five Hungarian women wrote in a concentration camp in Austria, along with an oral history of the life of Hedwig Weiss, who redacted the collection. Finally, I will refer to the postmemory anthology, Lányok és anyák. Elmeséletlen történetek [‘Mothers and Daughters: Untold Stories’] (2013), where thirty five Hungarian women, some themselves child survivors, others daughters of survivors, write Holocaust narratives in which their mothers’ lives become the intersubject in their own autobiographies, underscoring the risks of intergenerational transmission, where traumatic memory can be transmitted (or silenced) to be repeated and reenacted, rather than worked through.

SPATIAL-VARIANT MORPHOLOGICAL FILTERS WITH NONLOCAL-PATCH-DISTANCE-BASED AMOEBA KERNEL FOR IMAGE DENOISING
Authors: Yang Shuo , Li Jian-Xun 
Published: January 2015

Filters of the Spatial-Variant amoeba morphology can preserve edges better, but with too much noise being left. For better denoising, this paper presents a new method to generate structuring elements for Spatially-Variant amoeba morphology. The amoeba kernel in the proposed strategy is divided into two parts: one is the patch distance based amoeba center, and another is the geodesic distance based amoeba boundary, by which the nonlocal patch distance and local geodesic distance are both taken into consideration. Compared to traditional amoeba kernel, the new one has more stable center and its shape can be less influenced by noise in pilot image. What’s more important is that the nonlocal processing approach can induce a couple of adjoint dilation and erosion, and combinations of them can construct adaptive opening, closing, alternating sequential filters, etc. By designing the new amoeba kernel, a family of morphological filters therefore is derived. Finally, this paper presents a series of results on both synthetic and real images along with comparisons with current state-of-the-art techniques, including novel applications to medical image processing and noisy SAR image restoration.
Wall house

Published: January 2015

Wall House is situated outside the planned city limits of Auroville, in Auromodele, an area designated for research and experimentation. The architect’s residence, it compactly accommodated everyday needs whilst effortlessly expanding to absorb guests. It attempted to not only redefine the building program for a private-residence; it tested various spatial and technological innovations to inform other projects.
Wall House was the culmination of an ongoing extensive research and experimentation in low-impact building technologies that are environmentally and socio-economically beneficial, bynegotiating the balance between hi-tech and low-tech and incorporating everyday materials through techniques that include the participation of those with lower skills and education with few skilled craftsmen.
Agujerear el mundo: un grand tour dibujado por cabañas, cámaras y trincheras
Authors: Velasco Susana 
Published: January 2015

Se presenta una serie de dibujos que vienen a traducir un encuentro experiencial y existencial con tres arquitecturas-paisaje apenas estudiadas. Son lecturas gráficas de tres figuras espaciales y ontológicas. Casos concretos de cabañas, cámaras y trincheras, que analizados desde una perspectiva histórica aportan claves a cuestiones nucleares en nuestro tiempo -como son la autoconstrucción, la auto-organización y la emancipación. Nociones que están siendo claves en el seno de los actuales movimientos sociales y que, sin embargo, no están encontrando una posición en el debate de la sostenibilidad. Se trata de abrir la vía a la reapropiación por parte de los no-expertos y recuperar una dimensión medial para la arquitectura, la posibilidad de funcionar como un medio, como un transmisor capaz de inducir lecturas del mundo.
These are a series of drawings that come to translate an experiential and existential encounter with three architectures-landscape barely studied. They are graphical readouts of three spatial and ontological figures. Specific cases of cabins, cameras and trenches, which are analyzed from an historical perspective to provide key-nuclear issues of our time like the auto-construction, self-organization and emancipation. Being key notions within today’s social movements, however, are not finding a position in the sustainability debate. The article invites to open the way to reappropriation by non-experts and recover a medial dimension for architecture, the ability to function as a medium, as a transmitter capable of inducing views of the world.
ABSORB: A THREE YEAR UPDATE IN ARCTIC SPILL RESPONSE
Authors: Hillman Sharon O. , Shafer Richard V. 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
In 1979 the petroleum industry formed an oil spill response organization called the Alaskan Beaufort Sea Oilspill Response Body (ABSORB). This group's purpose is to help participating oil companies provide an integrated capability to deal with the possibility of a major oil spill in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea.
ABSORB and its member companies have maintained a high priority on increasing the state-of-the-art capabilities for effective response during the solid ice season, as reported in earlier conferences. In addition they have worked to identify and fill the data gaps for all season response capabilities. The ongoing research and development engineering projects have complemented this goal, along with the ongoing efforts of the ABSORB staff and member company technical representatives in the areas of equipment selection, purchase, modification and training. This paper briefly reviews the status of ABSORB today in terms of its organization and staffing, facilities and equipment, contingency planning, research and development (R & D), training programs, and response techniques.11,9
A UNIQUE OILED BIRD REHABILITATION OPERATION—MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 19811
Authors: Schultz Donald P. , Johnson W. Waynon , Berkner Alice B. 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT
A mystery oil spill off the east coast of South Carolina in February 1981 resulted in the oiling of an estimated 700 loons. The majority of the oiled birds came ashore within a 60 mile radius of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Cleanup efforts were begun by untrained volunteers. Later, the Regional Pollution Response Coordinator for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in conjunction with the International Bird Rescue Research Center, conducted a cleanup program under the aegis of the Regional Response Plan. Unique features of the cleanup effort included recruitment and training of locally available volunteers, the necessity of using locally available resources in emergency situations, and the pugnacious nature and specialized dietary requirements of the birds. The entire cleanup program lasted about three weeks and was highlighted by the successful release of 53 percent of the birds.
Cloud and precipitation features of Super Typhoon Neoguri revealed from dual oxygen absorption band sounding instruments on board FengYun‐3C satellite
Authors: Han Yang , Zou Xiaolei , Weng Fuzhong 
Published: January 2015

AbstractA new methodology is developed to detect the cloud structures at different vertical levels using the dual oxygen absorption bands located near 60 GHz and 118 GHz, respectively. Observations from Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) and Microwave Humidity Sounder (MWHS) on board the recently launched Chinese FengYun‐3C satellite are used to prove the concept. It is shown that a paired oxygen MWTS and MWHS sounding channel with the same peak weighting function altitude allows for detecting the vertically integrated cloud water path above that level. A cloud emission and scattering index (CESI) is defined using dual oxygen band measurements to indicate the amounts of cloud liquid and ice water paths. The CESI distributions from three paired channels reveal unique three‐dimensional structures of clouds and precipitation within Super Typhoon Neoguri that occurred in July 2014.
Statistical altitude distribution of the auroral density cavity
Authors: Alm L. , Li B. , Marklund G. T. , Karlsson T. 
Published: January 2015

AbstractThe statistical altitude distribution of auroral density cavities located between 3.0 and 6.5 RE is investigated using in situ observations from flux tubes exhibiting auroral acceleration. The locations of the observations are described using a pseudo altitude derived from the distribution of the parallel potential drop above and below the satellite. The upper edge of the auroral acceleration region is observed between 4.375 and 5.625 RE. Above 6.125 RE, none of the events exhibit precipitating inverted V electrons, though the upward ion beam can be observed. This indicates that the satellites are located inside the same flux tube as, but above, the auroral acceleration region. The electron density decreases as we move higher into the acceleration region. The spacecraft potential continues to decrease once above the acceleration region, indicating that the density cavity extends above the acceleration region. From 3.0 to 4.375 RE the pseudo altitude increases by 0.20 per RE, consistent with a distributed parallel electric field. Between 4.375 and 5.625 RE the pseudo altitude increases weakly, by 0.01 per RE, due to an increasing number of events per altitude bin, which are occurring above the acceleration region. Above 5.625 RE the pseudo altitude increases by 0.28 per RE, due to a rapid increase in the number of events per altitude bin occurring above the acceleration region, indicating that the remaining parallel potential drop is concentrated in a narrow region at the upper edge of the acceleration region, rather than in a distributed parallel electric field.

AbstractUsing the fan sector backscatter maps of 47 MHz Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) at Kototabang (0.2°S geographic latitude, 100.3°E geographic longitude, and 10.4°S geomagnetic latitude), Indonesia, the spatial and temporal evolution of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) were examined to classify the evolutionary‐type EPBs from those which formed elsewhere and drifted into the field of view of radar. A total of 535 EPBs were observed during the low to moderate solar activity years 2010–2012, out of which about 210 (~39%) are of evolving type and the remaining 325 (~61%) are drifting‐in EPBs. In general, both the evolving‐type and drifting‐in EPBs exhibit predominance during the postsunset hours of equinoxes and December solstices. Interestingly, a large number of EPBs were found to develop even a few minutes prior to the apex sunset during equinoxes. Further, the occurrence of evolving‐type EPBs exhibits a clear secondary peak around midnight (2300–0100 LT), primarily, due to higher rate of occurrence during the postmidnight hours of June solstices. A significant number (~33%) of postmidnight EPBs generated during June solstices did not exhibited any clear zonal drift, while about 14% of EPBs drifted westward. Also, the westward drifting EPBs are confined only to June solstices. The responsible mechanisms for the genesis of fresh EPBs during postmidnight hours were discussed in light of equatorward meridional winds in the presence of weak westward electric fields.
Lapita diet and subsistence strategies on Watom Island, Papua New Guinea: New stable isotope evidence from humans and animals
Authors: Kinaston Rebecca L. , Anson Dimitri , Petchey Peter , Walter Richard , Robb Kasey , Buckley Hallie 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTStable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) were analyzed from the bone collagen of individuals (n = 8) from a Lapita burial ground (ca. 2800–2350 BP) on Watom Island, located off northeast New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. The aim of this study was to assess the diet and subsistence strategies of humans that lived during the later Lapita period in Near Oceania. To aid in the interpretation of the human diet we analyzed the stable isotope ratios of faunal material from the site (n = 27). We also aim to assess methods of animal husbandry at the site over time from an analysis of the stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of pig bones (n = 22) from different temporal periods (Lapita, post‐Lapita, and late prehistoric). The protein diet of the humans consisted of marine organisms from the inshore environment and some deep‐water species, most likely marine turtle, in addition to higher trophic level terrestrial foods, likely pig and native animals (e.g., fruit bat, Cuscus and bandicoot). Although the sample sizes were small, females (n = 4) displayed more variable δ13C and δ15N values compared with males (n = 4), which may be associated with the movement of adult females to the island. The stable isotope analysis of the pig bones indicated that there were few differences between the diets of the pigs from the Lapita and post‐Lapita layers, suggesting that the method of pig husbandry was similar between these two periods and was likely relatively free‐range.

Does convection vary in different cloud disturbances?
Authors: Miyamoto Yoshiaki , Yoshida Ryuji , Yamaura Tsuyoshi , Yashiro Hisashi , Tomita Hirofumi , Kajikawa Yoshiyuki 
Published: January 2015

AbstractDeep moist convection is an element of cloud disturbances such as Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO), tropical cyclones (TCs), mid‐latitudinal low depressions (MDL), and fronts (FRT). However, differences in convection characteristics in disturbances remain unclear. We first clarified the statistical features of the convection (structure, intensity, and environmental parameters) in various disturbances simulated by a global simulation with a sub‐kilometre grid spacing. The convection in MJO (TC) was tall with a strong (weak) upward motion, and was driven by large convective available potential energy (strong low‐level convergence). The convection in MDL and FRT was shorter and characterized by a strong vertical wind shear.
