Moth community among apples during bloom in Northwest Arkansas: likely pollinators and activity periods
Authors: Robertson, Stephen M 
Published: March 2023

AbstractApples are a fruit crop of economic and nutritional importance that require cross-pollination primarily by insects for sustainable production. It was recently demonstrated that nocturnal pollinators can contribute as much to apple pollination as diurnal pollinators. However, information concerning nocturnal pollinator identity, activity periods, and community composition in apples is lacking, which limits research expansion. To address this knowledge gap, nocturnal moths in an apple orchard were surveyed during apple bloom from 2018 to 2020 using blacklight traps, with samples collected hourly to delineate moth activity. Observations during the same periods were made to identify moths visiting apple flowers, whose capture data were then compared to other captured moth species to provide useful information concerning community composition during apple bloom. Blacklight surveys yielded 1,087 moths representing at least 68 species from 12 families, wherein 15 species from five families were observed visiting apple flowers. Captured moths were most abundant and diverse in the first two hours after sunset. Most captured moth species did not visit flowers and are likely not associated with apple pollination. However, moth species that were observed visiting flowers were the most abundant overall and most diverse by hour in surveys. Data indicate a rich moth community present among apple orchards during bloom and identify likely moth pollinators of apples. Though more research is required to establish the precise relationships between moth pollination and apples, the information provided here allows for targeted efforts to do so.

Abstract
The intragastric balloon (IGB) is a relatively recent non-surgical weight loss technique that is now widely used in the world to treat obesity. However, IGB causes a wide range of adverse effects that range from minor ones, such as nausea, stomach pain and gastroesophageal reflux, to serious ones, such as ulceration, perforation, intestinal blockage and compression of adjusting structures. A 22-year-old Saudi woman presented to the emergency department (ED) with a history of upper abdominal pain that started 1 day before admission. The patient’s surgical background was unremarkable, and no other obvious pancreatitis risk factors were present. The patient underwent a minimally invasive treatment after being diagnosed with obesity (class 1), in which an IGB was inserted one and a half months prior to her ED presentation. She consequently began to lose weight (around 3 kg). The hypothesis states that pancreatitis following IGB insertion can be caused either by stomach distention and pancreatic compression at the tail or body or by ampulla obstruction due to balloon catheter migration at the duodenum. Heavy meal consumption, which may cause an increase in pancreatic compression, is another potential cause of pancreatitis in such patients. We believe that the IGB-induced compression of the pancreas at its tail or body was the likely cause of pancreatitis in our case. This case was reported because it is the first one from our city as far as we know. A few cases from Saudi Arabia have also been reported, and reporting them will help to improve doctors’ awareness of this complication, which can cause pancreatitis symptoms to be mistaken for something else because of the balloon-related effects on gastric distention.
Combining National Surveys with Composite Calibration to Improve the Precision of Estimates from the United Kingdom's Living Costs and Food Survey
Authors: Merkouris Takis , Smith Paul A , Fallows Andy 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The United Kingdom’s Living Costs and Food (LCF) Survey has a relatively small sample size but produces estimates which are widely used, notably as a key input to the calculation of weights for consumer price indices. There has been a recent call for the use of additional data sources to improve the estimates from the LCF. Since some LCF variables are shared with the much larger Labour Force Survey (LFS), we investigate combining data from these surveys using composite calibration to improve the precision of estimates from the LCF. We undertake model selection to choose a suitable set of common variables for the composite calibration using the effect on the estimated variances for national and regional totals of important LCF variables. The variances of estimates for common variables are reduced to around 5 percent of their original size. Variances of national estimates are reduced (across several quarters) by around 10 percent for expenditure and 25 percent for income; these are the variables of primary interest in the LCF. Reductions in the variances of regional estimates vary more but are mostly large when using common variables at the regional level in the composite calibration. The composite calibration also makes the LCF estimates for employment status almost consistent with the outputs of the LFS, which is an important property for users of the statistics. A novel alternative method for variance estimation, using stored information produced by the composite calibration, is also presented.
Abscisic acid can augment, but is not essential for, autumnal leaf senescence
Authors: Kane Cade N , McAdam Scott A M 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Senescence vividly marks the onset of the final stages of the life of a leaf, yet the triggers and drivers of this process are still not fully understood. The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is an important regulator of leaf senescence in model herbs, but the function of this hormone has not been widely tested in deciduous trees. Here we investigate the importance of ABA as a driver of leaf senescence in winter deciduous trees. In four diverse species we tracked leaf gas exchange, water potential, chlorophyll content, and leaf ABA levels from the end of summer until leaves were abscised or died. We found that no change in ABA levels occurred at the onset of chlorophyll decline or throughout the duration of leaf senescence. To test whether ABA could enhance leaf senescence, we girdled branches to disrupt ABA export in the phloem. Girdling increased leaf ABA levels in two of the species, and this increase triggered an accelerated rate of chlorophyll decline in these species. We conclude that an increase in ABA level may augment leaf senescence in winter deciduous species but that it is not essential for this annual process.
The structure of associations: Method insights from analyzing 28 clinical isolates ofCryptococcus neoformans
Authors: Vélez Nórida , Vega-Vela Nelson , Clay Oliver Keatinge , Parra-Giraldo Claudia-Marcela 
Published: March 2023

AbstractClinical isolates of a fungal pathogen from a single region or country often exhibit structural clonality or phylogenetic clustering at the sequence or MLST level; such population structure can persist also in larger samples. In efforts to improve causal understanding of pathogenesis at the molecular level, genome-wide association screening methods initially designed for other kingdoms have been applied to fungi. The example of a Colombian dataset of 28 clinical Cryptococcus neoformans VNI isolates indicates where the output from standard pipelines may need to be analyzed in new ways in order to efficiently extract hypotheses for experiments from fungal genotype–phenotype data.

ABSTRACTThe European Space Agency is studying two large-class missions bound to operate in the decade of the 30s, and aiming at investigating the most energetic and violent phenomena in the Universe. Athena is poised to study the physical conditions of baryons locked in large-scale structures from the epoch of their formation, as well as to yield an accurate census of accreting supermassive black holes down to the epoch of reionization; LISA will extend the hunt for Gravitational Wave (GW) events to the hitherto unexplored mHz regime. We discuss in this paper the science that their concurrent operation could yield, and present possible Athena observational strategies. We focus on Supermassive (M$\lesssim 10^7\, \rm {M_\odot }$) Black Hole Mergers (SMBHMs), potentially accessible to Athena up to z ∼ 2. The simultaneous measurement of their electromagnetic (EM) and GW signals may enable unique experiments in the domains of astrophysics, fundamental physics, and cosmography, such as the magnetohydrodynamics of fluid flows in a rapidly variable space–time, the formation of coronae and jets in Active Galactic Nuclei, and the measurement of the speed of GW, among others. Key to achieve these breakthrough results will be the LISA capability of locating a SMBHM event with an error box comparable to, or better than the field-of-view of the Athena Wide Field Imager ($\simeq 0.4\,$ deg2) and Athena capability to slew fast to detect the source during the inspiral phase and the post-merger phase. Together, the two observatories will open in principle the exciting possibility of truly concurrent EM and GW studies of the SMBHMs
Census of gaseous satellites around local spiral galaxies
Authors: Zhu Jingyao , Putman Mary E 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
We present a search for gas-containing dwarf galaxies as satellite systems around nearby spiral galaxies using 21 cm neutral hydrogen (H i) data from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) Survey. We have identified 15 spiral ‘primary’ galaxies in a local volume of 10 Mpc with a range of total masses, and have found 19 gas-containing dwarf satellite candidates within the primaries’ virial volumes (R200) and 46 candidates within 2R200. Our sensitivity using ALFALFA data converts to MH i ≈ 7.4 × 106 M⊙ at 10 Mpc, which includes 13 of the 26 gaseous dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, and the H i properties of our sample are overall similar to these 13. We found 0–3 gaseous satellites per host galaxy within R200 and 0–5 within 2R200, which agrees with the low numbers present for the Milky Way and M31. There is also agreement with the star-forming satellite numbers per host in the deep optical surveys SAGA and ELVES, and the Auriga cosmological simulations. When scaled to R200, the optical surveys do not show a trend of increasing quenched fraction with host mass; there is a slight increase in the total number of gaseous satellites with host mass for our sample. The low numbers of gaseous/star-forming satellites around spiral hosts are consistent with the idea that a universal and effective satellite quenching mechanism, such as ram pressure stripping by the host halo, is likely at play.
Hot accretion flows in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei in NGC 4258 and NGC 7213
Authors: Szanecki Michał , Niedźwiecki Andrzej , Wojaczyński Rafał 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
We study the high energy emission of two active galactic nuclei (AGNs), NGC 4258 and NGC 7213. We directly apply the general-relativistic hot flow model, kerrflow, to the archival BeppoSAX, NuSTAR, and Suzaku observations of these objects. Most of these data sets indicate that about 10–20 per cent of the accretion power is used for the direct heating of electrons; however, we find also indications for significant changes of the electron heating efficiency in some cases. Furthermore, all these X-ray data sets indicate rather strongly magnetized flows, with the magnetic field close to the equipartition with the gas pressure. Comparison of the model prediction with the Fermi/LAT data for NGC 7213 allows us to constrain the content of non-thermal protons to at most 10 per cent.
Evolution of disc and corona in MAXI J1348−630 during the 2019 reflare: NICER and Insight-HXMT view

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
In this work, using Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer and Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope observations, we present a study of the broad-band spectral and timing evolution of the source throughout the first reflare, which occurred about 4-month after the major outburst. Our findings suggest that during the reflare, below a critical luminosity Lcrit ∼ 2.5 × 1036 (D/2.2 kpc)2 erg s−1, the scale of the corona shrinks in the radial direction, whereas the inner radius of the disc does not change considerably; however, the inner radius of the disc starts to move inward when the source exceeds the critical luminosity. We conclude that at low luminosity the increase in accretion rate only heats up the inner zone of the accretion disc without the transfer of angular momentum which occurs above a certain luminosity.

ABSTRACT

Background
Deficiency of the essential trace element selenium is common in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), potentially hampering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defence. Whether this impacts the long-term outcomes of KTR remains unknown. We investigated the association of urinary selenium excretion, a biomarker of selenium intake, with all-cause mortality; and its dietary determinants.

Methods
In this cohort study, outpatient KTR with a functioning graft for longer than 1 year were recruited (2008–11). Baseline 24-h urinary selenium excretion was measured by mass spectrometry. Diet was assessed by a 177-item food frequency questionnaire, and protein intake was calculated by the Maroni equation. Multivariable linear and Cox regression analyses were performed.

Results
In 693 KTR (43% men, 52 ± 12 years), baseline urinary selenium excretion was 18.8 (interquartile range 15.1–23.4) μg/24-h. During a median follow-up of 8 years, 229 (33%) KTR died. KTR in the first tertile of urinary selenium excretion, compared with those in the third, had over a 2-fold risk of all-cause mortality [hazard ratio 2.36 (95% confidence interval 1.70–3.28); P &lt; .001], independent of multiple potential confounders including time since transplantation and plasma albumin concentration. The most important dietary determinant of urinary selenium excretion was protein intake (Standardized β 0.49, P &lt; .001).

Conclusions
Relatively low selenium intake is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality in KTR. Dietary protein intake is its most important determinant. Further research is required to evaluate the potential benefit of accounting for selenium intake in the care of KTR, particularly among those with low protein intake.

AbstractThe reproductive ecology of geese that breed in the Arctic and subarctic is likely susceptible to the effects of climate change, which is projected to alter the environmental conditions of northern latitudes. Nest survival is an important component of productivity in geese; however, the effects of regional environmental conditions on nest survival are not well understood for some species, including the Emperor Goose (Anser canagicus), a species of conservation concern that is endemic to the Bering Sea region. We estimated nest survival and examined how indices of regional environmental conditions, nest traits (nest age, initiation date, and maximum number of eggs in the nest), and researcher disturbance influenced daily survival probability (DSP) of Emperor Goose nests using hierarchical models and 24 years of nest monitoring data (1994–2017) from the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta (Y–K Delta) in western Alaska. Our results indicate that overall nest survival was generally high (µ = 0.766, 95% CRI: 0.655–0.849) and ranged from 0.327 (95% CRI: 0.176–0.482) in 2013 to 0.905 (95% CRI: 0.839–0.953) in 1995. We found that DSPs of nests were influenced by nest traits, negatively influenced by major tidal flooding events and by researcher disturbance, but were not influenced by regional indices of spring timing, temperature and precipitation during nesting, or fox and vole abundance on the Y–K Delta. However, the number of nests found each year was negatively related to our index of fox abundance, suggesting nests that failed as a result of fox predation may have never been discovered due to our limited nest-searching efforts during egg laying. Our results suggest that regional environmental variation had minimal influence on the nest survival of Emperor Geese, although major flooding events were important. Nevertheless, we suspect that within-year variation in local weather conditions and local abundance of predators and alternative prey may be important and should be considered in future studies.
Multimethod Assessment of Psychosis and Psychotic Phenomena
Authors: Mihura Joni L. , Kleiger James H. , Khadivi Ali 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This comprehensive chapter examines the nature of the psychosis spectrum from multiple perspectives. Beginning with a definition of psychosis and psychotic phenomena, the chapter summarizes criteria from the fifth edition, text revision, of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and clarifies conceptual, terminological, and cultural issues that help sharpen the understanding of the structural factors, underlying dimensions, developmental issues, and course of psychotic disorders. A central theme concerns the multimethod assessment of symptom dimensions (including the importance of assessing insight), as well as an identification of risk and protective factors that mediate the severity of psychotic symptoms and disorders. Finally, the chapter discusses the restorative nature of interpersonal relationships in the recovery process, with implications for the role that therapeutic assessment can play in working with individuals struggling with psychotic phenomena.
Neuronavigation
Authors: Goetz Stefan M. , Kammer Thomas 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The relatively high focality of transcranial brain stimulation requires accurate targeting of the fields delivered to the brain in order to stimulate the neural circuits that mediate the intended effect while reducing the unintended exposure of other brain areas. A range of tools support accurate individualized targeting of transcranial stimulation. Since targets are increasingly defined through anatomical, functional, or connectivity imaging, individualized gyrus-precise head models help to identify optimal placement of the stimulation transducers. Neuronavigation systems, such as frameless stereotaxy, can enable accurate delivery of stimulation to these targets. This is achieved by real-time tracking of the stimulation transducer and the subject’s head, and co-registering the head position to a computer model of the head anatomy and other target information. Whereas neuronavigation is currently limited to the spatial positioning of the transducers relative to the brain target, stimulation technologies that introduce functional or neuron-type-specific selectivity will demand novel tools for optimal targeting. As real-time simulation and robot-assisted motion-compensated transducer placement become feasible, technology is trending toward the convergence of computational intervention planning and neuronavigation.
Trans-species microRNA loci in the parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris have a U6-like snRNA promoter

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Small regulatory RNAs can move between organisms and regulate gene expression in the recipient. Whether the trans-species small RNAs being exported are distinguished from the normal endogenous small RNAs of the source organism is not known. The parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris (dodder) produces many microRNAs that specifically accumulate at the host–parasite interface, several of which have trans-species activity. We found that induction of C. campestris interface-induced microRNAs is similar regardless of host species and occurs in C. campestris haustoria produced in the absence of any host. The loci-encoding C. campestris interface-induced microRNAs are distinguished by a common cis-regulatory element. This element is identical to a conserved upstream sequence element (USE) used by plant small nuclear RNA loci. The properties of the interface-induced microRNA primary transcripts strongly suggest that they are produced via U6-like transcription by RNA polymerase III. The USE promotes accumulation of interface-induced miRNAs (IIMs) in a heterologous system. This promoter element distinguishes C. campestris IIM loci from other plant small RNAs. Our data suggest that C. campestris IIMs are produced in a manner distinct from canonical miRNAs. All confirmed C. campestris microRNAs with documented trans-species activity are interface-induced and possess these features. We speculate that RNA polymerase III transcription of IIMs may allow these miRNAs to be exported to hosts.
