Published: May 2023

AbstractBeneng Taro (Xanthosoma undipes) is one of the taro that grows in a specific location developed in the Banten Province, Indonesia. Taro has the main component in the form of flour and starch are widely used. However for further use, there are components that cause itching in the form of oxalate levels that must be lowered. Several process technologies can be utilized to optimize thecharacteristics of taro flour, making it feasible to be used as raw main based material for furtherfood processing. The purpose of this research activity to carry out the production process along with physical characterization and oxalate content of taro beneng flour. The research method consisted of a variation of the immersion treatment and the drying process. The results obtained were then analyzed for yield, color, whiteness, moisture content and oxalate content of the resulted flour. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be seen that immersion using NaCl, sodium metabisulfite and citric acid can reduce the oxalate content. In the variation of the combination of 0.5% citric acid addition in immersion with sun drying method is effective treatment. While the combination of 0.1% citric acid is effective in the oven drying method. The results ofthis production process can be further developed in the field in a larger capacity.

Abstract
Sapota is one of fruits with short period of shelf life. One of techniques to extend sapota’s shelf life is edible coating. Currently, hydrocolloid green grass jelly combining with sodium alginate was used and evaluated to determine its effect on the shelf life of sapota fruit. Coating was done using two different concentration of green grass jelly, 0.2% and 0.4% and no treatment as a control treatment. Coated sapota were stored at room temperature and evaluated every day, including weight loss, colour change, firmness, total acidity, total soluble solid, and reducing sugar. The result showed that 0.4% green grass jelly treatment significantly (p>0.05) inhibit fruit softness, colour change during storage and fruit decay compared to control treatment. The coating fruits delayed the increase in total soluble solid as compared to control fruits. At the end, edible coating treatments extended its shelf life by 2 days compare with the control. The result suggest that green grass jelly effectively maintains the quality of postharvest sapota fruits.

Abstract
The Bangka Belitung Islands are known as one of the best white pepper producing areas in the world which is normatively recognized as a geographical indication. One of the factors in the recognition of white pepper as a geographical indication is the environmental factor in this area which causes the taste to be distinctive and different from white pepper from other regions. On the other hand, tin mining is happening massively, one of which is turning pepper plantations into mining areas. This study uses empirical juridical methods, linking the consequences of tin mining to the reputation of white pepper as a geographical indication from the perspective of policy makers in the mining sector. The data used are primary data obtained from interviews as well as secondary data obtained from literature study data on a number of documents. From the results of the study conducted, it was found that most policy makers were of the opinion that uncontrolled tin mining had an effect on the reputation of white pepper, because many pepper plantations had turned into mining areas. Juridically, if this condition is allowed, it will threaten the reputation of white pepper as a geographical indication.

Abstract
We investigated incorporation of a novel approach of phosphorous silicate glass layer thinning (PGT) process in the N-PERT process flow to minimise pinhole defects at the silicon nitride (Si3N4) surface. The thinning (PGT) process for optimum HF deposition time of 12 min resulted in excellent cell efficiency of ∼20.55% with pinhole free layer and high electrical yield (∼0% for I
Rev > 1.5 A). After optimising technology, stability is also explored with and without PGT process line, which confirms advantages of this approach. This significant reverse failure reduction due to the proposed PGT process can eventually help in improving overall cell performance of the N-PERT devices. This process can be a part of strategy for reducing process cost of solar cell in any industrial mass production line with improved yield (reduction in reverse failure from 6.6 to 1.5% for one month of mass production). Thus, the PGT process with negligible electrical rejection and high yield increases the possibility of high throughput in mass production line.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and high hospitalization rates placed a tremendous strain on hospital resources, necessitating the use of models to predict hospital volumes and the associated resource requirements. Complex epidemiologic models have been developed and published, but many require continued adjustment of input parameters. We developed a simplified model for short-term bed need predictions that self-adjusts to changing patterns of disease in the community and admission rates. The model utilizes public health data on community new case counts for SARS-CoV-2 and projects anticipated hospitalization rates. The model was retrospectively evaluated after the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 in New York, New York (October 2020–April 2021) for its accuracy in predicting numbers of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admissions 3, 5, 7, and 10 days into the future, comparing predicted admissions with actual admissions for each day at a large integrated health-care delivery network. The mean absolute percent error of the model was found to be low when evaluated across the entire health system, for a single region of the health system or for a single large hospital (6.1%–7.6% for 3-day predictions, 9.2%–10.4% for 5-day predictions, 12.4%–13.2% for 7-day predictions, and 17.1%–17.8% for 10-day predictions).
The Agavoideae: an emergent model clade for CAM evolutionary biology
Authors: Heyduk Karolina , McAssey Edward V , Field Richard , Leebens-Mack Jim 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Crassulacean acid metabolism – or CAM photosynthesis – was described in the early to mid-20th century, and our understanding of this metabolic pathway was later expanded upon through detailed biochemical analyses of carbon balance. Soon after, scientists began to study the ecophysiological implications of CAM, and a large part of this early work was conducted in the genus Agave, in the subfamily Agavoideae of the family Asparagaceae. Today, the Agavoideae continues to be important for the study of CAM photosynthesis, from the ecophysiology of CAM species, to the evolution of the CAM phenotype and to the genomics underlying CAM traits. Here we review past and current work on CAM in the Agavoideae, in particular highlighting the work of Park Nobel in Agave, and focusing on the powerful comparative system the Agavoideae has become for studying the origins of CAM. We also highlight new genomics research and the potential for studying intraspecific variation within species of the Agavoideae, particularly species in the genus Yucca. The Agavoideae has served as an important model clade for CAM research for decades, and undoubtedly will continue to help push our understanding of CAM biology and evolution in the future.

Abstract
First, we attempted to recombine the Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) pyrG (ura3) gene homologously by introducing a donor vector containing a carboxin resistance gene (lecbxR) flanked by homologous sequences of pyrG into protoplasts of the fungus. However, all the carboxin-resistant transformants only contained ectopic insertions of the exogenous gene and no homologous insertions. Agaricomycetes are generally known for their low efficiency of homologous recombination, and a similar result was shown for L. edodes. We then co-introduced a Cas9 plasmid vector containing a CRISPR/Cas9 expression cassette targeting pyrG and donor plasmid vector. As a result, ∆pyrG strains containing the expected homologous recombination were obtained. However, only two of the seven ∆pyrG strains had the Cas9 sequence; the others did not. Our results suggest that genome editing occurred via the transient expression of the CRISPR/Cas9 cassette in the Cas9 plasmid vector introduced into the fungal cell. Transforming pyrG into a ∆pyrG strain (strain I8) resulted in prototrophic strains with an efficiency of 6.5 strains/experiment.

TriNetX has created a technology platform characterized by a conservative security and governance model that facilitates collaboration and cooperation between industry participants, such as pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations, and academic and community-based healthcare organizations (HCOs). HCOs participate on the network in return for access to a suite of analytics capabilities, large networks of de-identified data, and more sponsored trial opportunities. Industry participants provide the financial resources to support, expand, and improve the technology platform in return for access to network data, which provides increased efficiencies in clinical trial design and deployment.

Results
TriNetX is a growing global network, expanding from 55 HCOs and 7 countries in 2017 to over 220 HCOs and 30 countries in 2022. Over 19 000 sponsored clinical trial opportunities have been initiated through the TriNetX network. There have been over 350 peer-reviewed scientific publications based on the network’s data.

Conclusions
The continued growth of the TriNetX network and its yield of clinical trial collaborations and published studies indicates that this academic-industry structure is a safe, proven, sustainable path for building and maintaining research-centric data networks.
Cowpea extrafloral nectar has potential to provide ecosystem services lost in agricultural intensification and support native parasitoids that suppress the wheat stem sawfly
Authors: Cavallini Laissa , Peterson Robert K D , Weaver David K 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The native parasitoids Bracon cephi (Gahan) and B. lissogaster Muesebeck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reduce populations of Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), a native grassland species, and major wheat pest on the Northern Great Plains of North America. Non-host feeding adults of these braconids increase longevity, egg load, and egg volume when provisioned carbohydrate-rich diets. Nutrition from nectar can enhance the success of natural enemies in pest management programs. Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walpers, is a potential cover-crop that could add resilient features to the landscape and has extrafloral nectaries (EFN), easy-access nectar sources for beneficial insects. If more cowpea was grown on the Northern Great Plains, would B. cephi and B. lissogaster benefit from foraging on putatively beneficial EFN? We investigated cowpea inflorescence stalk extrafloral nectars (IS-EFN) and leaf stipel extrafloral nectars (LS-EFN) as potential food sources for these parasitoids. Females were caged on EFN sources on living cowpea plants to assess longevity. Egg load and volume were measured at 2, 5, and 10 days after placement. Bracon cephi survived 10 days on water, 38 days on IS-EFN; B. lissogaster 6 days on water, 28 days on IS-EFN. Bracon lissogaster maintained a constant egg load and volume across treatments while B. cephi produced 2.1-fold more eggs that were 1.6-fold larger on IS-EFN. Y-tube olfactometry indicated adult females were attracted to airstreams containing cowpea volatiles. These results demonstrate that non-native, warm-season cowpea benefits these native parasitoids and may improve conservation biocontrol of C. cinctus.
Limited Nominal Indexation of Optimal Financial Contracts
Authors: Meh Césaire A , Quadrini Vincenzo , Terajima Yaz 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
When financial contracts are not fully enforceable and firms observe their own nominal sales before the observation of the aggregate nominal price, the optimal financial contract is not fully indexed to inflation. Because of the limited nominal indexation, which is endogenous in the model, unanticipated inflation affects aggregate investment and future economic activity. The macroeconomic volatility induced by price uncertainty, however, is not monotone: It first increases and then decreases with nominal price uncertainty. We also show that the degree of nominal indexation declines with real idiosyncratic volatility and the impact of an inflation shock decreases with nominal indexation. Using firm-level data from Canada, we find that both predictions are supported by the data.
Ecological principles to guide the development of crop variety mixtures
Authors: Kopp Emanuel B , Niklaus Pascal A , Wuest Samuel E 
Published: May 2023

AbstractCrop variety mixtures can provide many benefits, including pathogen suppression and increased yield and yield stability. However, these benefits do not necessarily occur in all mixtures, and the benefits of diversity may be compromised by disadvantages due to increased crop heterogeneity. In-field development of mixtures by assembling many combinations of crop genotypes without prior expectation about which genotypes need to be combined to produce well-performing mixtures results in prohibitively large designs. Therefore, effective tools are required to narrow down the number of promising variety mixtures, and to then identify in experiments which of these deliver the highest benefits. Here, we first review current knowledge about the mechanisms underlying effects in ecological diversity experiments and in current agricultural applications. We then discuss some of the principal difficulties arising in the application of this knowledge to develop good variety mixtures. We also discuss non-conventional approaches to solve some of these issues. In particular, we highlight the potential and limitations of trait-based methods to determine good variety mixing partners, and argue that nontraditional traits and trait-derived metrics may be needed for the trait-based approach to deliver its full potential. Specifically, we argue that good mixing partners can be identified using modern genetic and genomic approaches. Alternatively, good mixtures may be obtained by combining varieties that respond differently to environmental variation; such varieties could easily be identified in standard variety testing trials. Preliminary analyses show that niche differences underlying the different environmental responses can indicate functional complementarity and promote mixture yield and yield stability.
A rare case of positional vertebrobasilar ischemia with the retrograde flow of the vertebral artery
Authors: Kawahira Toshihiro , Morimoto Hiroki 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Positional vertebrobasilar ischemia, also known as Bow hunter stroke, is typically caused by mechanical compression of the vertebral artery (VA). On the other hand, subclavian steal syndrome is incidentally detected by vertigo, syncope or loss of consciousness due to the steal phenomenon. A 61-year-old man suffered from near syncope when he turned his head to the left side. Although asymmetric arm blood pressure of the right dominant was observed, arm claudication was not detected. Computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed total occlusion of the left subclavian artery, hypoplasia of the right VA and an incomplete circle of Willis. Furthermore, carotid Doppler ultrasonic echography revealed retrograde blood flow of the left VA. It means that head rotation might occur in the left VA ischemia. An axillary-axillary bypass surgery was performed and ultrasonic echography showed anterograde effective blood flow of the left VA after the procedure.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
A woman in her nineties presented with a 7-day history of right upper quadrant pain, nausea and anorexia. Examination findings included tenderness in the right upper quadrant and a positive Murphy’s sign. Laboratory studies were unremarkable with normal white cell count, C-reactive protein and liver functions tests. Ultrasound of the abdomen, however, demonstrated a distended gallbladder containing sludge and a thickened gallbladder wall. The patient’s symptoms worsened with associated elevation of inflammatory markers despite initial treatment with intravenous antibiotics for 24 h. It was decided to proceed to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intraoperatively, 360° clockwise torsion of a gangrenous gallbladder on an elongated mesentery was noted. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was completed without complication and the patient was discharged home after completion of a course of intravenous antibiotics. Histopathological examination demonstrated acute cholecystitis with extensive mural necrosis.
