SummaryAcclimation of root growth is vital for plants to survive salt stress. Halophytes are great examples of plants that thrive even under severe salinity, but their salt tolerance mechanisms, especially those mediated by root responses, are still largely unknown.We compared root growth responses of the halophyteSchrenkiella parvulawith its glycophytic relative speciesArabidopsis thalianaunder salt stress and performed transcriptomic analysis ofS. parvularoots to identify possible gene regulatory networks underlying their physiological responses.Schrenkiella parvularoots do not avoid salt and experience less growth inhibition under salt stress. Salt‐induced abscisic acid levels were higher inS. parvularoots compared with Arabidopsis. Root transcriptomic analysis ofS. parvularevealed the induction of sugar transporters and genes regulating cell expansion and suberization under salt stress.14C‐labeled carbon partitioning analyses showed thatS. parvulacontinued allocating carbon to roots from shoots under salt stress while carbon barely allocated to Arabidopsis roots. Further physiological investigation revealed thatS. parvularoots maintained root cell expansion and enhanced suberization under severe salt stress.In summary, roots ofS. parvuladeploy multiple physiological and developmental adjustments under salt stress to maintain growth, providing new avenues to improve salt tolerance of plants using root‐specific strategies.

Summary
Browning and nutrient inputs from extreme rainfall, together with increased vertical mixing due to strong winds, are more frequent in coastal ecosystems; however, their interactive effects on phytoplankton are poorly understood. We conducted experiments to quantify how browning, together with different mixing speeds (fluctuating radiation), and a nutrient pulse alter primary productivity and photosynthetic efficiency in estuarine phytoplankton communities.
Phytoplankton communities (grazers excluded) were exposed simultaneously to these drivers, and key photosynthetic targets were quantified: oxygen production, electron transport rates (ETRs), and carbon fixation immediately following collection and after a 2‐d acclimation/adaptation period.
Increasing mixing speeds in a turbid water column (e.g. browning) significantly decreased ETRs and carbon fixation in the short term. Acclimation/adaptation to this condition for 2 d resulted in an increase in nanoplanktonic diatoms and a community that was photosynthetically more efficient; however, this did not revert the decreasing trend in carbon fixation with increased mixing speed.
The observed interactive effects (resulting from extreme rainfall and strong winds) may have profound implications in the trophodynamics of highly productive system such as the Southwest Atlantic Ocean due to changes in the size structure of the community and reduced productivity.

AbstractObjectivesTo assess the skeletal and dental maxillary transverse compensation (yaw) on the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) three‐dimensional reconstructed image of the skull in two groups of patients, both clinically affected by a class III malocclusion with deviation of the lower midline.Materials and MethodsAn observational retrospective study was designed to analyse differences in two groups of patients, the first one was composed by patients affected by horizontal condylar hyperplasia, the second one by patients affected by dento‐skeletal asymmetric class III malocclusion. Each group was composed by 15 patients. Transverse analysis was performed by measuring five landmarks (three bilateral and two uneven) with respect to a mid‐sagittal plane; sagittal analysis was performed by measuring the sagittal distance on the mid‐sagittal plane between bilateral points. Means were compared through inferential analysis.ResultsIn the condylar hyperplasia group, all differences between the two sides were not statistically significant, nor for canines' difference (P = .0817), for molars (P = .1105) or for jugular points (.05871). In the class III group, the differences between the two sides were statistically significant for molars (P = .0019) and jugular points (P = .0031) but not for canines (P = .1158). Comparing the two groups, significant differences were found only for incisors' midline deviation (P = .0343) and canine (P = .0177).ConclusionThe study of the yaw on CBCT should be integrated into three‐dimensional cephalometry and could help in differentiating the various malocclusion patterns.
What's Wrong with Prepunishment?
Authors: Kaiserman Alex 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPunishing someone for a crime before they have committed it is widely considered morally abhorrent. But there is little agreement on what exactly is supposed to be wrong with it. In this paper, I critically evaluate several objections to the permissibility of prepunishment, making points along the way about the connections between time, knowledge, desert, deterrence and duty. I conclude that, although the conditions under which it could permissibly be administered are unlikely ever to arise in practice, nevertheless in principle, nothing is wrong with prepunishment after all.

AbstractThe potyvirus cowpea aphid‐borne mosaic virus (CABMV) found in Brazil causes passion fruit woodiness, a difficult‐to‐control disease that limits the yield of the fruit crop. The present study assessed the effectiveness of systematic roguing of diseased plants as an alternative disease management strategy in three pilot passion fruit orchards. Passion fruit plants were grown on trellises and visually inspected for symptoms once or twice a week to identify and remove CABMV‐infected plants. Systematic roguing of infected plants was initiated immediately after the detection of the first symptomatic plants after transplantation of seedlings to the fields and continued until approximately 20% of the plants were rogued. This effectively delayed infection in the young plants, as 80% remained healthy from 181 to 285 days after transplanting. At this stage of development, plants are more tolerant to virus infection. However, once roguing was interrupted, 100% of the remaining plants became infected within 64 to 126 days. In fields without roguing, the incidence of infected plants ranged from 65% to 100% at 90 days after transplanting. Although this study confirms the difficulty in managing the disease, the results also substantiate the systematic removal of diseased plants to effectively delay CABMV spread, thereby improving subsequent plant development and yield. To delay the spread of the virus, growers in passion fruit‐producing regions are advised to inspect plants at least once a week after transplanting seedlings to the field and eradicating diseased plants during the first 5 months after transplantation.

Published: March 2023

This study applied self‐determination theory (SDT) as a psychological framework to examine whether psychological need support and autonomous motivation are predictive of sports injury preventive behaviors and the incidence of sports injuries. 2042 secondary school students (mean age = 14.33, male = 44.3%) from China completed a survey of the study variables (using established scales) at three time points (baseline, 1‐month follow‐up, 3‐month follow‐up). Structural equation modeling examined the core tenets of SDT by testing if the change‐scores of the SDT variables (i.e., psychological need support from PE teachers, students' motivation, and students' behavioral adherence) between baseline and 1‐month follow‐up, were predictive of sports injury incidence assessed at 3‐month follow‐up. Our model demonstrated acceptable goodness‐of‐fit parameters (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.03, and SRMR = 0.05). The relationships between psychological need support, autonomous motivation, and behavioral adherence were both positive and significant. These SDT variables predicted the future incidence of sports injuries following the motivational pathways of SDT. Our study provides evidence of the predictive power of SDT variables on sports injury preventive behaviors and the incidence of sports injuries: Students who perceive their PE teachers as psychological need supportive possess higher autonomous motivation and behavioral adherence towards sports injury prevention, and are also less likely to encounter sports injuries in the future.

AbstractCanine cutaneous mast cell tumours (cMCTs) of the pinna have been associated with an aggressive biological behaviour, although data remain scarce. The knowledge acquired over the past years on histologic gradings, and the value of lymph node (LN) staging, may help in better characterizing this anatomical presentation. The first aim was to describe the frequency, location, and histologic appearance of LN metastases in cMCT of the pinna. A second aim was to evaluate prognosis. Medical records of dogs with cMCT of the pinna, that underwent tumour and sentinel (SLN) or regional LN (RLN) excision, were reviewed. The influence of potential prognostic variables on time to progression (TTP) and tumour‐specific survival (TSS) was investigated. Thirty‐nine dogs were included: 19 (48.7%) had Kiupel high‐grade (K‐HG) and 20 (51.3%) had low‐grade (K‐LG) MCTs. Eighteen (46.1%) dogs underwent SLN mapping: the superficial cervical LN was at least one of SLN in 17 (94.4%) cases. Twenty‐two (56.4%) dogs had LN metastases; the superficial cervical LN was always involved. On multivariable analysis, only K‐HG was associated with increased risk of progression (p = .043) and tumour‐related death (p = .021). Median TTP and TSS were 270 and 370 days in K‐HG, respectively; these were not reached in dogs with K‐LG tumours (p < .01). cMCTs of the pinna are often K‐HG and are also associated with a higher frequency of LN metastasis; however, we confirmed the independent prognostic value of histologic grading. A multimodal treatment may lead to favourable long‐term outcome. Moreover, the superficial cervical LN is most often the SLN.

AbstractBackgroundStaphylococcus haemolyticus is a coagulase‐negative commensal organism of both people and companion animals. It has pathogenic potential and when cultured is often meticillin‐ and multidrug‐resistant.ObjectivesTo characterise the clinical features of dogs and cats with clinical skin disease that had positive S. haemolyticus skin cultures, and to employ whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) to identify resistance genes and characterise the genetic relatedness of strains.Materials and MethodsIsolates were identified by the institutional clinical microbiology laboratory by routine aerobic culture and susceptibility from seven veterinary hospitals across the United States. Then, WGS and analysis of each isolate were performed and clinical data collected via a retrospective clinician questionnaire.ResultsS. haemolyticus was identified from superficial (seven of 12) and deep (five of 12) cutaneous infections in our study. Most animals had received antimicrobials (10 of 12) and/or immunomodulatory drugs (nine of 12) within the six months before culture. WGS analysis revealed a variety of genetic lineages and a wide array of antimicrobial resistance genes. Meticillin resistance was identified in nine of 12 isolates and four of 12 isolates demonstrated mupirocin tolerance.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceStaphylococcus haemolyticus may be an under‐recognised pathogen in companion animals, and its demonstrated potential for multidrug‐resistance, meticillin‐resistance, and high‐level mupirocin tolerance may create a therapeutic challenge. Further studies should evaluate the prior antimicrobial use and immunocompromised status as risk factors for infection with S. haemolyticus.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesCorrected count increment (CCI) measurements monitor the effectiveness of platelet transfusions in haemato‐oncology, but they usually fail in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We investigated whether polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of mitochondrial single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is able to monitor the survival of transfused platelets in these patients.Materials and MethodsLeukocyte‐free, platelet‐rich plasma was prepared from patients' blood to measure platelet counts based on patient‐/donor‐specific SNPs by digital PCR after DNA extraction. Platelet counts in samples from patients with severe thrombocytopenia were analysed by both PCR and flow cytometry. Ten patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of heart lung machine and without overt bleeding received a single apheresis platelet concentrate because of either dual platelet inhibition during a non‐elective intervention or a complex procedure. Blood samples were collected at nine defined intervals (0–120 h) post transfusion.ResultsThe digital PCR of the seven SNPs reliably quantified levels ≥0.6 G/L platelets, in good agreement with flow cytometry and without interference by other SNPs or by platelet activation. A mean 24‐h CCI of 11.8 (range: 5.6–19.8) and a mean 120‐h area under the curve (AUC) of 1386 (915–1821) hxG/L were observed for the transfused platelets. The mean AUC of 14,103 (3415–27,305) hxG/L for the patients' endogenous platelets indicates that transfused platelets represented only 11% (5–25) of the total platelet counts during 120 h post transfusion.ConclusionPCR of mitochondrial SNPs offers a tool to assess the survival of platelets from apheresis concentrates in cardiac surgery patients to facilitate the implementation of improved transfusion strategies.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThe RHAG blood group system contains five antigens: Duclos (RHAG001), Ola (RHAG002), DSLK (RHAG003), Kg (RHAG005) and SHER (RHAG006). Individuals who are DSLK‐negative and Kg‐positive have the same allele RHAG*01.–3, with a single‐nucleotide variation (rs144305805), c.490A>C (p.Lys164Gln), in exon 3 of the RHAG gene. We aimed to confirm whether DSLK and Kg are antithetical antigens.Materials and MethodsBlood samples of the original DSLK‐negative proband with anti‐DSLK, her son and another DSLK‐negative individual were examined. The RHAG gene was analysed by polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Immunocomplex capture fluorescence assays (ICFAs) and monocyte phagocytosis assays were performed to characterize the anti‐DSLK antibody. Cross‐testing of alloanti‐DSLK and monoclonal anti‐Kg (OSK46) was performed using transduced HEK293 cells by inducing the construct of expression vectors encoding wild‐type RHAG*01 or the variant RHAG*01.–3.ResultsICFA using monoclonal anti‐RHAG (LA18.18) revealed that the anti‐DSLK and anti‐Kg antibodies reacted with the wild‐type and variant RhAG (Rh‐associated glycoprotein), respectively. The proband and a DSLK‐negative individual appeared to be homozygous for variant RHAG*01.–3, and the proband's son was typed as RHAG*01/RHAG*01.–3 heterozygote. HEK293 cells with wild‐type RhAG reacted with the anti‐DSLK but not anti‐Kg antibody, whereas HEK293 cells expressing the variant RhAG reacted with the anti‐Kg but not anti‐DSLK antibody. Monocyte phagocytosis assays indicated that 64% of red cells sensitized with anti‐DSLK were phagocytosed by monocytes.ConclusionOur results demonstrate that DSLK and Kg are antithetical antigens in the RHAG blood group system. Anti‐DSLK may be a clinically significant antibody.

Wave Action Analysis of Multiple Bottom Fixed Semi-Circular Breakwaters in the Presence of a Floating Dock
Authors: Venkateswarlu V. , Sanjeeva Rayudu E. , Dhanunjaya E. , Vijay K. G. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The comprehensive usage of an array of natural or artificial semi-circular breakwaters (SCBs) as supporting structures to secure the floating/fixed structures are received increasingly more consideration in recent years. The performance characteristics of bottom-fixed SCB in the presence of a floating dock are investigated under the framework of linear wave theory. The edge conditions such as continuity of velocity and pressure along the SCB and zero-flow condition near rigid surfaces are adopted. The multi-domain boundary element method (MBEM) is used to examine the wave attenuation performance of the whole breakwater system in two dimensions. The correctness of the present study's numerical results is confirmed by performing the comparative study with the readily available experimental and analytical results reported by various researchers. The reflection, transmission, energy loss coefficients, and fluid force experienced by floating dock are examined as a function of incident wave properties and breakwater physical properties. The Bragg resonant reflection and performance comparison with other shapes are also studied. The study results strongly suggest that the damage of floating structures and leeward locales due to incident wave stroke is minimized with the introduction of porosity for SCB located on the seabed by dissipating the wave energy. A pair of bottom-fixed SCBs having 10–20% breakwater porosity placed far away from the dock is identified as the optimal choice to reduce the fluid force experienced by the dock and wave transmission coefficient.
