An introduction to the NWS West Gulf River Forecast Center
Authors: Story Gregory 
Published: March 2023

The National Weather Service (NWS) West Gulf River Forecast Center (WGRFC), in cooperation with numerous federal, state, and local government entities, uses the latest science and technology to provide timely and accurate river forecasts in an effort to protect life and property for most of the river drainages in Texas. Disaster preparedness decreases property damage by an estimated $1 billion annually nationwide. The mission is to provide basic hydrologic forecast information for the economic and environmental well-being for the nation. The WGRFC is 1 of 13 river forecast centers within the United States and is located in Fort Worth, Texas. The WGRFC’s area of responsibility stretches from the Rio Grande in southern Colorado, New Mexico and south Texas eastward to the Sabine River along the Texas-Louisiana border. Other rivers in the center’s area of responsibility include the Pecos, Nueces, San Antonio, Guadalupe, Colorado, Brazos, Trinity, and Neches rivers. This article will describe the variety of hydrologic forecasting services routinely provided by the WGRFC. Although flood forecasts are its most well-known product, the WGRFC also generates river and water information used for recreation, reservoir operations, and water supply plans. Additionally, the WGRFC produces estimates of hourly precipitation. To achieve this, the WGRFC has 2 primary functions; a hydrometeorological function and a hydrologic function. This article will describe each function and discuss how each function serves as steps in the preparation and the issuing of hydrologic forecasts.

Lifshitz symmetry: Lie algebras, spacetimes and particles
Authors: Figueroa-O'Farrill José , Grassie Ross , Prohazka Stefan 
Published: March 2023

We study and classify Lie algebras, homogeneous spacetimes and
coadjoint orbits (“particles”) of Lie groups generated by spatial
rotations, temporal and spatial translations and an additional scalar
generator. As a first step we classify Lie algebras of this type in
arbitrary dimension. Among them is the prototypical Lifshitz algebra,
which motivates this work and the name “Lifshitz Lie algebras”. We
classify homogeneous spacetimes of Lifshitz Lie groups. Depending on the
interpretation of the additional scalar generator, these spacetimes fall
into three classes:1. (d+2)-dimensional Lifshitz spacetimes which have one additional
holographic direction;2. (d+1)-dimensional Lifshitz-Weyl spacetimes which can be seen as
the boundary geometry of the spacetimes in (1) and where the scalar
generator is interpreted as an anisotropic dilation;3. and (d+1)-dimensional aristotelian spacetimes with one scalar
charge, including exotic fracton-like symmetries that generalise
multipole algebras.We also classify the possible central extensions of Lifshitz Lie
algebras and we discuss the homogeneous symplectic manifolds of Lifshitz
Lie groups in terms of coadjoint orbits.

Published: March 2023

The problem-based learning (PBL) method is one method to insert the competency targets of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This research aims to investigate how the implementation of ESD-oriented problem-based learning to metal and non-metal chemistry practical work. The research method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method and the research subject is the 4th-semester Chemistry Education university students. The research result shows that the ESD-oriented PBL method is applicable in metal and non-metal chemistry practical work. Practical work with the ESD-oriented PBL method can be used as an innovation for practical learning activities to achieve the ESD target competencies. Based on the questionnaires responded by the students, it can be concluded that the practical work with the ESD-oriented PBL method could increase the students’ ability for problem-solving with percentages of 33% strongly agree and 50% agree. Practical work learning with the ESD-oriented PBL affects the students to be more active in practical work activities. The stages of the PBL method help the students develop problem-solving abilities, and this is one target of ESD competencies.
A combined treatment system of O3/UV oxidation and activated carbon adsorption: emerging contaminants in hospital wastewater
Authors: Nabavi Erfan , Pourrostami Niavol Kasra , Dezvareh Ghorban Ali , Khodadadi Darban Ahmad 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Researchers have recently focused their attention on emerging contaminants (ECs) in wastewater because they pose serious health and environmental risks. Because ECs are persistent in the environment and have the ability to disrupt the physiology of target receptors, they have been labeled as contaminants of recent environmental concern. For removing various ECs, a variety of treatment technologies have been developed, including biological, chemical, and physical methods. However, no single technology can currently effectively remove ECs, whereas hybrid systems have consistently proven to be more effective. Furthermore, the majority of existing technologies are energy and resource intensive, as well as expensive to maintain and operate. Furthermore, the majority of advanced treatment technologies that have been proposed have yet to be evaluated for large-scale feasibility. Some ECs, particularly pharmaceuticals and pesticides, were found to be significantly removed using a hybrid technique that included ozone/UV and granular activated carbon (GAC). Besides, the removal of effluent parameters (TDS, COD, TOC) was enhanced through the GAC surface oxidization as a catalyst with NaOH before the process and by ozone within the procedure as well.
Evaluation of a novel porous antimicrobial media for industrial and HVAC water biocontrol
Authors: Blanford William James , O'Mullan Gregory D. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

A novel treatment method, consisting of pea-gravel with a marine coating supplemented with alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC or benzalkonium chloride), has been examined for its antimicrobial performance and coating stability in aqueous environments. Initial column studies examining the porous media's ability to reduce bacterial loads in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) water found average reductions of 94% from pre-flush levels (106 colony forming unit (CFU)/mL) when assessed with R2A spread plates and 83% reductions with SimPlates. There was no observed statistical difference between the average of pre- and post-flush waters from four tests of the media without ADBAC. Taxonomic identification, by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, of colonies drawn from pre- and post-ABDAC R2A plates showed similarities with taxa observed in high frequency from prior cultivation-independent surveys of other cooling tower systems. With this proof of concept, two versions of the media were evaluated for potential coating components released during aqueous exposure. Neither released measurable volatile organic compounds (VOC) components, but one did release bisphenol A and ABDAC compounds. Subsequent column tests of the more durable coating were conducted using cultures of interest in industrial water and demonstrated significant reductions in neutralized post-column Enterococcus faecalis samples and near complete loss of Legionella pneumophila in non-neutralized fluids, but lower reductions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Older Adults, the “Social Admission,” and Nonspecific Complaints in the Emergency Department: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Furlong Kayla Rose , O'Donnell Kathleen , Farrell Alison , Mercer Susan , Norman Paul , Parsons Michael , Patey Christopher 
Published: March 2023

Background
Older adults have a higher visit rate and poorer health outcomes in the emergency department (ED) compared to their younger counterparts. Older adults are more likely to require additional resources and hospital admission. The nonspecific, atypical, and complex nature of disease presentation in older adults challenges current ED triage systems. Acute illness in older adults is often missed or commonly disguised in the ED as a social or functional issue. If diagnostic clarity is lacking or safe discharge from the ED is not feasible, then older adults may be labelled a “social admission” (or another synonymous term), often leading to negative health consequences.

Objective
This scoping review aims to describe and synthesize the available evidence on patient characteristics, adverse events, and health outcomes for older adults labelled as “social admission” (and other synonymously used terms), as well as those with nonacute or nonspecific complaints in the ED or hospital setting.

Methods
A literature search of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO, and CINAHL was completed. Relevant reference lists were screened. Data have been managed using EndNote software and the Covidence web application. Original data have been included if patients are aged ≥65 years and are considered a “social admission” (or other synonymously used term) or if they present to the ED with a nonacute or nonspecific complaint. Two review team members have reviewed titles and abstracts and will review full-text articles. Disagreements are resolved by consensus or in discussion with a third reviewer. This review does not require research ethics approval.

Results
As of January 2023, we have completed the title and abstract screening and have started the full-text screening. Some remaining full-text articles are being retrieved and/or translated. We are extracting data from included studies. Data will be presented in a narrative and descriptive manner, summarizing key concepts, patient characteristics, and health outcomes of patients labelled as a “social admission” (and other synonymously used terms) and of those with nonacute and nonspecific complaints. We expect the first results for publication in Spring 2023.

Conclusions
Acute illness in the older adult is not always easily identified. We hope to better understand patient characteristics, adverse events, and health outcomes of older adults labelled as a “social admission,” as well as those with nonacute or nonspecific complaints. We aim to identify priorities for future research and identify knowledge gaps that may inform health care providers caring for these vulnerable patients.

Authors: Al-Zawbaee Obaid M. , Mahmood Nozad H. 
Published: March 2023

The panel data models have gained great attention because they consider the effect of changing time series and the cross-sectional units. It has a higher number of degrees of freedom and is, therefore, more efficient. Our research aims to build the most efficient model using panel data through comparison among six statistical models and to determine the most efficient model through the mean squares of error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R2). Using the EViews-12 package to apply to two data sets to determine the most efficient model. The more critical findings are that the hypothesis assumed by the research states that the accuracy of the adopted models varies. Furthermore, it was found by building six types of panel data models that the best model is the (Two-way Fixed Effect Model) because it achieves the lowest value of (RMSE) and the largest value of R2.
Rational nutrition as a health factor: realities and prospects
Authors: Novoselova E. N. 
Published: March 2023

The article discusses how the culture of food, its rationality and quality affects the health of Russians. The dietary style of Russians is analyzed on the basis of the latest statistical data and literature analysis. It is concluded that despite some positive developments in this area, the quality of nutrition of Russian residents is far from ideal. The author of the article seeks to understand how population understands the concept of healthy nutrition, whether the understanding of this phenomenon differs depending on socio-demographic characteristics. Particular attention is paid to gender differences regarding nutrition and the consequences of these differences. Article focuses on the obstacles that Russians face on the way to improving their diet. One of such obstacles is economic difficulties and the inability to buy healthy foods due to their high cost, especially in large families and single-parent families, whose food quality is lower for a number of socio-economic reasons. An equally important factor limiting the possibilities of Russians in the field of nutrition is the lack of awareness and education of the majority of the population regarding healthy lifestyle in general and nutrition in particular.The empirical basis of the work is comprised of the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Federal State Statistics Service, the Public Opinion Foundation and the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center.
Blacksad, cómic, legado y fenómeno fans
Authors: Romero Benguigui Daniel 
Published: March 2023

Originada en el 2000 por Juan Díaz Canales (guión) y Juanjo Guarnido (dibujo), la saga de cómics Blacksad se ha instituido como uno de los referentes más notorios en la narrativa gráfica negro-criminal, algo patente en los múltiples premios y galones que ha recibido, donde destacan los Eisner conseguidos en 2011, 2013 y 2015.
Por su impacto en el medio, la saga ha supuesto un fenómeno de masas, éxito mediante el cual se ha justificado su intermedialidad hacia otros medios. El presente artículo constituye un estudio monográfico sobre el personaje: desde su concepción y desarrollo en cómic, hasta su inspiración hacia medios interactivos como lo han sido Blacksad: Under the skin (2019) y Blacksad: El juego de rol (2015), donde han emergido nuevas interacciones por parte de los seguidores de la obra.
Cuff size, cuff placement, blood pressure state, and monitoring technique can influence indirect arterial blood pressure monitoring in anesthetized bats (Pteropus vampyrus)
Authors: Paranjape Vaidehi V. , Gatson Bonnie J. , Bailey Kate , Wellehan James F. X. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Evaluate agreement between 2 non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) techniques and invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) in anesthetized bats using various cuff sizes and cuff positioning while also evaluating its performance during hypertension and hypotension.

ANIMALS
8 bats (1.1 ± 0.2 kg).

PROCEDURES
Bats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen. NIBP was measured using oscillometric (NIBP-O) and Doppler (NIBP-D) techniques in the pectoral limb (PEC) and pelvic limbs (PEL) using 3 cuff sizes (1, 2, and 3). NIBP measurements were compared with IBP; systolic (SAPinvasive), mean (MAPinvasive), and diastolic arterial blood pressure (DAPinvasive) during normotension, hypertension, and hypotension. Hypotension was induced with isoflurane (3.8 ± 1.2%) and hypertension with norepinephrine (3 ± 0.5 µg/kg/min). Data analysis included Bland-Altman analyses and 3-way ANOVA. Results were reported as mean bias (95% CI).

RESULTS
NIBP-O monitor reported 29% errors, and experienced more failures with hypertension, cuff placement on PEC, and using a size 1 cuff. Across states, an agreement between NIBP-D and MAPinvasive with cuff 2 on PEL (−3 mmHg [−8, 1]), and NIBP-D and SAPinvasive with cuff 3 on PEC (2 mmHg [−5, 9 mmHg]) was achieved. NIBP-D over-estimated SAPinvasive and MAPinvasive during hypertension in both limbs with cuffs 1 and 2. Except during hypotension, NIBP-O underestimated MAPinvasive and DAPinvasive using a size 2 cuff on PEL.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
In anesthetized bats, NIBP-O is unreliable for estimating IBP. NIBP-D shows acceptable agreement with MAPinvasive with cuff size 2 on PEL, and with SAPinvasive with cuff size 3 on PEC across a wide range of IBP values.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The present experiment aimed to evaluate the partial replacement of corn with chocolate byproducts or protected fats in the diet of lactating cows on feed utilization, blood profile, and lactation performance. Fifty multiparous Holstein cows (560±22 kg BW, 3±1 parity, 7±1 days in milk, and previous milk production of 34±3 kg/d), were randomly assigned to 5 treatments in a completely randomized design for 90 days. The control diet contained a concentrate feed mixture containing (per kg DM) 412 g concentrate feed mixture, 412 g corn silage, and 176 g berseem hay. The control diet contained 17.6% crushed corn (DM basis). In another treatment, the control diet was supplemented with 1 g chromium daily (Chromium diet). In the other diets, each kg of crushed corn grain was replaced with 600 g chocolate byproducts (CH diet), 400 g protected fats (PF diet), or 500 g of chocolate byproducts and protected fats mixture (1:1 DM basis) (CHPF diet), DM basis, and each of the diets was also supplemented with 1 g chromium daily. Both amounts of protected fats and chocolate byproducts had the same energy concentration as 1 kg of corn. Without affecting feed intake, the replacement increased (P<0.01) milk production, milk fat concentration, and feed efficiency. The replacement (P<0.05) increased the concentrations of plasma total proteins, albumin, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, and chromium in comparison with the control diet. Higher (P<0.001) nutrient digestibility was observed with CH, PF, and CHPF treatments. It is concluded that chromium supplementation did not affect feed utilization or cows’ performance; however, partial replacement of corn with chromium supplemented protected fat, chocolate byproducts or their mixture improved milk production and feed efficiency.
Sustainable Intensification – Reaching Towards Climate Resilience Livestock Production System – A Review
Authors: Singh Ruchi , Maiti Sanjit , Garai Sanchita , Rachna  
Published: March 2023

Abstract
An ability to prepare, recover and adapt to frequent climatic variation is called “Climate resilience.” climate change now places additional pressure on the cattle industry, particularly in developing nations, which threatens the livelihood of small farmers. In 2013 “Food and Agriculture Organization” reported that the livestock sector accounts for nearly one-third of agricultural gross production value globally. There are higher possibilities of the effective implications of sustainable intensification in the livestock production systems to determine production pathways that are more sustainable and productive with a minimum negative impact on the environment. The paper discusses the systematic review mingled with qualitative text analysis to explore the interrelation between sustainable intensification and resilient climate practices, specifically towards the livestock production system. The data for systematic review was taken from Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases from 1995 till 2020, with total screened 94 articles in the final selection. The study’s results revealed that all approaches involving environment-friendly practices with higher production efficiency, resource use efficiency and reachable to every farmer were considered sustainable intensification. The relevance of this sustainability analysis to climate resilience is illustrated by considering different types of livestock systems with concerned practices. So, the inclusion of appropriate technology in an appropriate system will open the door for sustainable intensification in the face of a Climate-Resilient livestock production system and finally lead the farming community towards sustainable development.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
This case report describes the lingual orthodontic treatment of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with a bimaxillary protrusion malocclusion, a hyperdivergent facial pattern, mentalis strain, and a ‘gummy’ smile. To achieve favourable occlusal and facial results, the four first premolars were extracted, and micro-screws utilised to provide maximum anchorage. With the widespread application of three-dimensional technology, a digital goal-oriented treatment plan was applied for its predictability and precision. A fully customised lingual appliance system with preset torque in the anterior teeth combined with ribbon-wise arch wires was placed to prevent excessive lingual inclination of the incisors during retraction. As a result, an attractive facial profile and a well-aligned dentition with ideal intercuspation was obtained.
The Situation of CEE Economies after the COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Becsey Zsolt László 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Written in late summer of 2022, this article aimed to provide an overview on the intra-EU cohesion of the EU Member States that transformed the communist system into a democratic market economy in 1988–90. The study analyses the economic background of these states for sustainable catching-up in the European Union. The result is a picture of a divided CEE area, where some states showed macroeconomic imbalances and economic growth, while others started to catch up with the solid background of the eurozone membership or its future perspective. In terms of most parameters, Hungary is in the first group but – together with Romania – is also facing serious macroeconomic difficulties.
Labour Productivity in a Central and Eastern European Secondary City – Evidence from Regional and Firm-Level Data

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Our article examines the changes in the economic position of a Hungarian secondary city, Pécs, and its region in the post-crisis period from a labour productivity perspective. Our aim is to contrast results based on data of the city’s largest local firms from the Orbis Europe enterprise database with the results based on the EuroStat regional database. We assess local trends in a sectoral disaggregation and focus on the period between the two crises. Our results suggest that Pécs and its region face a persistent difficulty in attracting external resources and in retaining and generating endogenous resources.
