Authors: Sherald J. L. , Patton E. N. , Stidham T. M. , Favre C. L. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractApproximately 600 elms on the National Mall in Washington D. C. were surveyed for 6 years for symptoms of bacterial leaf scorch caused byXylella fastidiosa. The mean disease incidence over the course of the study was 30% and increased by approximately 10% over 6 years. Twenty-eight percent of the affected trees had symptoms in more than 25% of their crowns. Symptom severity fluctuated from year to year. Of the trees first detected with symptoms in 1986 only 18% had a higher symptom rating after 6 years, while 51 % had fewer or no symptoms. Trees 20-30 cm dbh were the most affected, while those in the 1-10 cm class were the least affected. Affected trees occurred throughout the planting.
The Potential for a California Oak Wilt Epidemic
Authors: Appel David N. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe relative disease susceptibilities of 14Quercusspecies from Texas and California were tested in three inoculation studies with different isolates of the oak wilt pathogen,Ceratocystis fagacearum. Ten of the oaks were evergreen or semi-evergreen live oaks while the remaining four were deciduous species. The species represented 3 differentQuercussub-genera. All species were susceptible to the pathogen, but there was significant variability in disease response. In the first study, there was variability among different selections of live oak from Texas, and there were distinct differences in disease response among the California oaks in the other two experiments. In two of the studies, the most susceptible species was the exotic cork oak, Q.suber. Q. kelloggii, the only deciduous red oak inoculated, responded similarly toQ. suber, an evergreen white oak. The two evergreen red oaks, Q.agrifoliaand Q.wislizenii, were the least susceptible in one of the studies while the two evergreen “intermediate” oaks, Q.chrysolepisand Q.tomentella, were the least susceptible in another. Significant differences in pathogenicity were observed between two Texas isolates of C.fagacearum. The implications of these results forthe California oak woodlands is discussed.

Eight infested green ash were controls in the field trial. Nematodes were applied in July using a backpack sprayer. Applications of entomopathogenic nematodes significantly reduced the number of living larvae associated with the plants.
Relative Drought Resistance Among Selected Southwestern Landscape Plants
Authors: Tipton Jimmy L. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractA method of determining drought resistance appears to have promise in identifying superior plants for minimal irrigation landscapes. Under conditions of this test, desert willow had greater resistance to drought than either fruitless mulberry or yellow bells. This can be attributed to a greater tolerance rather than a greater avoidance. Drought tolerance of both desert willow and yellow bells was over 1.5 times that of fruitless mulberry. Fruitless mulberry had as great or greater drought avoidance than the xeric species under dry conditions. Based on these results, desert willow and yellow bells are tolerant water spenders that can convert to water savers. Fruitless mulberry is a relatively intolerant water spender that may not convert to a water saver. If this is confirmed in further studies, then the success of mulberry in the arid Southwest may be attributed to an ability to increase water uptake in times of drought.
Assessing the Feasibility of Collaborative Utility - Municipal Tree Removal and Replanting
Authors: Eckert Kevin , Simpson Peter 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIn June 1993, Newport Electric Company and the City of Newport, Rhode Island collaborated to complete a tree removal and replanting pilot project. This pilot project was initiated to address the situation that large city-owned trees in Newport are potential hazards to the delivery of safe and reliable electric service, and are costly to trim for adequate clearance. The two primary purposes of this project were: 1) to examine the operational feasibility of a collaborative tree removal and replanting project between the City of Newport and Newport Electric Company; and 2) to cost justify participation by Newport Electric in a tree removal and replanting project. Net Present Value (NPV) is offered as a defensible model for determining cost justified participation by the utility because this method for determining financial worthiness is consistent with other business analyzes conducted within the electric utility industry. If considered over the short-term, participation in a tree removal and replanting project cannot be cost justified, because a financial break-even point will not be realized. This project is cost effective when evaluated over the long-term, because the expense of trimming each tree by the utility is ongoing for several cycles. The willingness of the municipality to share the costs was critical in the decision of the utility to participate.

Authors: Platanou Theodoros , Varamenti Evdokia 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aimed to explore whether a meaningful relationship existed between scoring in men’s water polo and ball possession time and the number of passes in even and extra player offence conditions.MethodsOverall, 24 close matches played during international competitions were analysed twice, for the winning and losing teams separately. This allowed to collect a sample consisting of 1588 offences when teams played in equal conditions and 492 with an extra player.ResultsFor effective scoring in even conditions, the results demonstrated significant relationships between the exchanging of many passes (7.78 ± 1.09 passes) and short-duration attacks lasting for 1–10 s (7.87 ± 2.29 s) (<i>p</i> = 0.05). In the extra player condition, a considerable relationship was noted between short to average ball possession time and scoring (<i>p</i> = 0.05). However, the effect size for these differences ranged from moderate to low.ConclusionsKnowledge of this study results could help coaches design specific workouts during routine practices and make decisions during matches.
Drought impact links to meteorological drought indicators and predictability in Spain
Authors: Torelló-Sentelles Herminia , Franzke Christian L. E. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Drought affects many regions worldwide, and future climate projections imply that drought severity and frequency will increase. Hence, the impacts of drought on the environment and society will also increase considerably. Monitoring and early warning systems for drought rely on several indicators; however, assessments of how these indicators are linked to impacts are still lacking. Here, we explore the links between different drought indicators and drought impacts within six
sub-regions in Spain. We used impact data from the European Drought Impact Report Inventory database and provide a new case study to evaluate these links. We provide evidence that a region with a small sample size of impact data can still provide useful insights regarding indicator–impact links. As meteorological drought indicators, we use the Standardised Precipitation Index and the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index; as agricultural and
hydrological drought indicators, we use a Standardised Soil Water Content Index
and a Standardised Streamflow Index and a Standardised Reservoir Storage Index. We also explore the links between drought impacts and teleconnection patterns and surface temperature by conducting a correlation analysis, and then we test the predictability of drought impacts using a random forest model. Our results show that meteorological indices are best linked to impact occurrences overall and at long
timescales between 15 and 33 months. However, we also find robust links for agricultural and hydrological drought indices, depending on the sub-region. The Arctic Oscillation, Western Mediterranean Oscillation, and the North Atlantic Oscillation at long accumulation periods (15 to 48 months) are top predictors of impacts in the northwestern and northeastern regions, the community of Madrid, and the southern regions of Spain, respectively. We also find links between temperature and drought impacts. The random forest model produces skilful models for most sub-regions. When assessed using a cross-validation analysis, the models in all regions show precision, recall, or R2 values higher than 0.97, 0.62, and 0.68, respectively. Thus, our random forest models are skilful in predicting drought impacts and could potentially be used as part of an early warning system.

Objective: This pilot study aimed to investigate effects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Group Skills Training (DBT-ST) on patients’ severity of substance use status, mood and other psychological symptoms, difficulties in emotion regulation, interpersonal problem solving skills, and social competence.	Method: Nine outpatient males with substance use disorders were administered the DBT-ST for 20 weeks. Age ranged between 17 and 34. Average years of substance use was 1.61 (SD=.29). DBT-ST modules (mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, and distress tolerance) were administered for 20 weeks. Urine toxicology screenings, the Addiction Profile Index (API), the Symptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory, and the Perceived Social Competence Scale were administered at pre and post-treatment. Results: There were significant decreases in the severity of substance use with decreased number of positive drug screening test results and an increase in emotion regulation; decreases in the API total score, dependency diagnosis, and the effects of substance use on the user sub-scale scores; depression, hostility, and phobic anxiety sub-scale scores on the SCL-90-R; the BDI total score; and nonacceptance, strategies, clarity and impulsivity sub-scale scores of the DERS. Conclusion: The findings indicated a 20 week DBT-ST helped participants increase their days of abstinence, regulate emotional regulation, decrease depressive and anxiety symptoms, and substance related difficulties.

Legal Realism as a Positivistic Theory of Law
Authors: Guastini Riccardo 
Published: April 2022

El realismo jurídico como teoría positivista del derecho
Desde los años sesenta del siglo XX, siguiendo a Bobbio, todo el mundo puede (o debería) distinguir entre tres formas de positivismo jurídico (LP): (a) metodológico, (b) teórico, y (c) ideológico. Por cierto, en la literatura iusfilosófica italiana, a menudo se contrapone el LP al realismo jurídico (LR). Sin embargo, ¿de qué tipo de LP y de LR estamos hablando? En cuanto al LR, los iusfilósofos que oponen realismo y positivismo tienen en mente esencialmente el realismo escandinavo, especialmente Olivecrona y Ross. En cuanto al LP, aquellos iusfilósofos que oponen realismo y positivismo tienen en mente, o bien la teoría del derecho dominante en el siglo XIX, o bien la teoría pura de Kelsen. La oposición entre el LR y la teoría pura es fundada. No obstante, tal oposición no surge de una supuesta postura anti-positivista del LR. Depende más bien de dos tesis kelsenianas no positivistas : el concepto de validez como fuerza vinculante, y la teoría normativa de la ciencia jurídica, concebida como un conjunto de oraciones deónticas (no fácticas) que se hacen eco de normas válidas (es decir, vinculantes). La oposición entre el LR y el LP del siglo XIX es igualmente fundada, pero no tiene sentido cuando referida al LP contemporáneo, que consiste principalmente en una actitud metodológica (“Benthamita”) hacia el derecho. El LR es una visión abiertamente positivista del derecho. Sin duda, no todos los juristas positivistas son realistas, pero todos los realistas son positivistas (“duros”).

Published: April 2022

Lawsonia inermis is widely known as henna and belongs to Lythraceae family. It contains various phytochemica constituents in every part of plant and shows various pharmacological properties. Secondary metabolites are acts as antioxidants and these are very high in this plant species. In this research studies, ethanolic extract of Lawsonia inermis was performed in the blood sample culture for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity effects. The both of the effects of plant extracts were evaluated through measurement of mitotic index (MI), sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and cell proliferation kinetics (CPK). The blood sample culture was treated with control and various concentrations of extracts (500μg/ml and 1000μg/ml). The mean of MI, SCE and CPK for control were found to be 4.51, 5.19 and 0.52 respectively where as for 500μg/ml of Lawsonia inermis extracts are 4.33, 4.87 and 0.50 respectively and for 1000 μg/ml extracts are 4.18, 4.68 and 0.48 respectively. From the results, we can conclude that the MI and frequency of SCES of ethanolic plant extracts are remarkably similar to that of control which indicates that the Lawsonia inermis plant extracts have no substantial cytotoxicity and genotoxicity effects in cultured blood lymphocytes.

Many drugs have been tried for premedication in children[1] amongst which midazolam and dexmedetomidine are commonly used and are reportedly safe and effective for usage during both separation as well as induction of anaesthesia. Hence, we planned to carry out a study of midazolam versus dexmedetomidine for premedication in children via intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device. To compare the efficacy of midazolam and dexmedetomidine as premedication in children of 2 to 6 years of age via intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device. This randomized study was done at Dhiraj hospital, Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat on 60 children belonging to American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II of age 2-6 years of either gender undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. Children were separated into: Group M - Midazolam 0.2 mg/kg (preservative free) Group D - Dexmedetomidine 1µg/kg. Drug was administered 30 minutes prior to surgery and following parameters were assessed: Acceptance of drug, Sedation Score, behaviour during parental separation and mask acceptance. Dexmedetomidine was statistically significantly better in aspect of drug acceptance, sedation after 30 minutes of drug administration, parental separation and mask acceptance than midazolam.

Authors: SURYANARAYANA G , GOPINATHRAO M 
Published: April 2022

Crop water availability was worked out for deep black soil region of Bijapur area based on daily water budgeting. Though Bijapur received low rainfall annually, the precipitation received in the months of June, July and August was sufficient for soil moisture accretion and provided a favourable soil water environment for the crop growth of post rainy season at 75 per cent probability. Further rains from September onwards help in improving the moisture condition. A high correlation coefficient of 0.8359 was obtained between the soil moisture available at the end of 37th week (16 September) and accumulated rainfall up to that period. The probability of receiving sowing rains during 37th to 41st. weeks was favourable. If crops could be established by October, It was found that the soil moisture environment will be optimum to, meet the water requirements of rabi crops on the average in 3 out of five years.

Published: April 2022

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory disease in which the respiratory activity of the lungs is compromised due to secretion of fluid in the alveoli of lungs and thus depriving the blood stream with optimal oxygen supply. Objective: To determine the effects of ankle pumping exercises on limb edema in critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome Methods: A sample of 67 patients was selected by using non-probability convenient sampling from different hospital settings. Ventilated patients or those having endotracheal tube, age between 40-65 years, and either gender were included in the study. Results: The effect of Range of Motion (ROM) on ARDS patients was as high as 91 %. There were 61(91.0) responders who experienced edema reduced by ankle pumping 54(80.6) found prone position and 13(19.4) found supine position effective 53(79.1) having resonant sound and 14(20.9) with hyper stony dullness 24(35.8) person having added sound and 43(64.2) crepitus sound in this study. In this study, 20 out of 67 patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) developed acute onset of severe dyspnea, hypoxemia, and cyanosis and decreased respiratory system compliance, despite supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation. Edema had been reduced by ankle pumping in 61 subjects. Conclusions: Patients with ARDS report improvement in symptoms with physiotherapy treatment, ROM exercises had remarkable effects on such patients.
