Planting in Parking Lots to Improve Perceived Attractiveness and Security
Authors: Anderson L.M. , Stokes Garnett S. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper describes the effects of vegetation on public perceptions of the attractiveness and security of commercial and residential parking lots. Attractiveness was generally increased by the total amount of vegetation. The sense of security was enhanced by plantings only when the vegetation was well maintained or incorporated in a distinct landscape design. Visibility of building entrances was especially important for security, calling for careful landscape design so that plantings do not obstruct the view of access routes to and from structures. Proper maintenance of structure and grounds enhances both attractiveness and perceived security.

Published: June 2022

AbstractEight cm (approximately 3 inch) diameterGleditsia triacanthos inermis‘Imperial’, Imperial honeylocust, andQuercus robur, English oak, were spring dug bare root and root pruned to one of four root configurations, standard, wide-deep, narrow-deep or wide-shallow, to simulate different ball sizes and shapes had the plants been balled and burlaped. The plants were placed in a healing-in area. Survival, leaf and shoot growth were followed for 18 months. All 40 honeylocust trees survived transplanting while three English oaks died. Honeylocust trees given the narrow-deep and wide-shallow root configurations had larger leaves and longer lateral shoots 18 months after transplanting than trees given standard and wide-deep configurations. English oak trees given wide-deep and wide-shallow root configurations had more shoot and leaf growth than did trees given standard or narrow-deep configurations. English oak recovered from transplanting more rapidly than did honeylocust. For both species, shoot and leaf growth during 1 986 were not significantly correlated with shoot and leaf growth in 1987.

Published: June 2022

Cytotoxicity presents one of the required criteria in the biological evaluation of medical devices. In this study, the semi-direct contact test was used to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity of hydrogel wound dressings compared to the conventional extract test. Three types of hydrogel sheets were fabricated from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by gamma irradiation: Bare sheets, silver (Ag)-coated sheets, and Aloe vera (AV)-coated sheets. In the extract test, L929 cells were cultured in the extract derived from the elution of hydrogel samples. For the semi-direct contact test, the cells were cultured in situ with the hydrogel samples placed inside transwell inserts above the cell monolayers. At the endpoint of both tests, MTT assay was performed, and the cell viability was determined from the absorbance of formazan. Only the bare and AV-coated hydrogel sheets showed cell viability above the 70 % threshold that ensured the non-cytotoxicity by both tests. For Ag-coated sheets, less than 70 % cell viability occurred when Ag coating was ³ 0.2 mg/cm2. Interestingly, the formazan-depleted area underneath the Ag-coated sample could be clearly observed by the semi-direct contact test. The release of Ag in the form of nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Vis absorption at 420 nm. In conclusion, the semi-direct contact test can serve as a reliable alternative to the conventional extract test in evaluating the potential cytotoxicity of hydrogel wound dressings.
HIGHLIGHTS

A semi-direct contact test with transwell inserts was investigated as an alternative approach to the conventional extract test in evaluating the cytotoxicity of hydrogel wound dressings
Leachable substances from the hydrogel dressings permeated through the porous membrane of transwell inserts to the reach the cell monolayer underneath
Cell viability results based on MTT assay obtained from semi-direct contact test were in agreement with the extract test
Only the semi-direct contact test provided the visual assessment of localized toxicity caused by the release of silver nanoparticles from hydrogel sheets onto the cell monolayer

Published: June 2022

PurposeIn many healthcare settings in developing nations, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) imaging may be the only available diagnostic modality for patients with suspected COVID-19 infection, due to a shortage of laboratory kits. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and interobserver variability of CO-RADS (COVID-19 Reporting and Data System) in the triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection in Zagazig University Hospital.Material and methodsThis study included 2500 patients with suspected COVID-19 infection, mean age 60.61 years ± 13.89. 61.4% were male. Unstable patients requiring urgent invasive ventilation, acute coronary syndrome patients, pregnant females, and patients with RT-PCR results available prior to MSCT were excluded from this study. RT-PCR was performed in all patients included in the study.ResultsFever and dry cough were the most common clinical symptoms, detected in 80.16% and 52.00%, respectively. The most common comorbidities were cardiovascular diseases, followed by chronic lung disease and diabetes, found in 27.36%, 22.80%, and 18.00%, respectively. Of the 1500 RT-PCR-positive patients, 40% had CO-RADS score 5, while 3.4% had CO-RADS score 1. Of the 1000 RT-PCR-negative patients, 36% had CO-RADS score 2 and 1% were scored as CO-RADS 5. There was excellent agreement in the studied patients as the weighted κ value was 0.846, which was more pronounced at CO-RADS 5 (24.40%). The sensitivity of CO-RADS was higher in the 2nd scenario (83.27% vs. 55.27%) while the specificity was higher in the 1st scenario (95% vs. 65%).ConclusionsThe CO-RADS scoring system is a sensitive and specific method that can help in the diagnosis of COVID-19 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. CO-RADS is a triage test in resource-constrained environments, assisting in the optimization of RT-PCR tests, isolation beds, and intensive care units.

AbstractThis study aims to determine the performance of dry land farmingon transmigrant farmers in Saritani Village, Wonosari District,Boalemo Regency which includes the type of commodity, thecombination pattern of dry land farming and the level of farm incomein farming activities. The study was conducted on 73 farmers spreadover three hamlets. The results showed that there were 16 types offarming commodities and 21 combination patterns of farming carriedout by farmers. The types of commodities cultivated consist of foodcrops (corn and rice), plantation crops (coconut, oil palm and coffee),annual crops (cloves) and horticulture (vegetables and fruit).Availability of labor available in sufficient quantities. The productivityof farming land is low, this is because the condition and topography ofthe land in most of the farming land is dry land that relies on rainfalland hilly land contours. The level of farming income for crops that aremostly cultivated by farmers is quite good and profitable, but theselling price at the farm level is relatively low.Key words: Performance, farming, dry land, farmers, transmigration
Wintertime Saharan dust transport towards the Caribbean: an airborne lidar case study during EUREC4A
Authors: Gutleben Manuel , Groß Silke , Heske Christian , Wirth Martin 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Wintertime Saharan dust plumes in the vicinity of Barbados are investigated by means of airborne lidar measurements.
The measurements were conducted in the framework of the EUREC4A (Elucidating the Role of Cloud-Circulation Coupling in Climate) field experiment upstream the Caribbean island in January–February 2020.
The combination of the water vapor differential absorption and high spectral resolution lidar techniques together with dropsonde measurements aboard the German HALO (High Altitude and Long-Range) research aircraft enable a detailed vertical and horizontal characterization of the measured dust plumes.
In contrast to summertime dust transport, mineral dust aerosols were transported at lower altitudes and were always located below 3.5 km.
Calculated backward trajectories affirm that the dust-laden layers have been transported in nearly constant low-level altitude over the North Atlantic Ocean.
Only mixtures of dust particles with other aerosol species, i.e., biomass-burning aerosol from fires in West Africa and marine aerosol, were detected by the lidar.
No pure mineral dust regimes were observed.
Additionally, all the dust-laden air masses that were observed during EUREC4A came along with enhanced water vapor concentrations compared with the free atmosphere above.
Such enhancements have already been observed during summertime and were found to have a great impact on radiative transfer and atmospheric stability.
The push and pull of abandoned channels: how floodplain processes and healing affect avulsion dynamics and alluvial landscape evolution in foreland basins
Authors: Martin Harrison K. , Edmonds Douglas A. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. River avulsions are an important mechanism by which sediment is routed and
emplaced in foreland basins. However, because avulsions occur infrequently,
we lack observational data that might inform where, when, and why avulsions
occur and these issues are instead often investigated by rule-based
numerical models. These models have historically simplified or neglected the effects of abandoned channels on avulsion dynamics, even though fluvial
megafans in foreland basins are characteristically covered in abandoned
channels. Here, we investigate the pervasiveness of abandoned channels on
modern fluvial megafan surfaces. Then, we present a physically based
cellular model that parameterizes interactions between a single avulsing
river and abandoned channels in a foreland basin setting. We investigate how abandoned channels affect avulsion setup, pathfinding, and landscape
evolution. We demonstrate and discuss how the processes of abandoned channel inheritance and transient knickpoint propagation post-avulsion serve to shortcut the time necessary to set up successive avulsions. Then, we address the idea that abandoned channels can both repel and attract future pathfinding flows under different conditions. By measuring the distance between the mountain front and each avulsion over long (106 to 107 years) timescales, we show that increasing abandoned channel repulsion serves to push avulsions farther from the mountain front, while increasing attraction pulls avulsions proximally. Abandoned channels do not persist forever, and we test possible channel healing scenarios (deposition-only, erosion-only, and far-field-directed) and show that only the final scenario achieves dynamic equilibrium without completely filling accommodation space. We also observe megafan growth occurring via ∼100 000-year cycles of lobe switching but only in our runs that employ deposition-only or erosion-only healing modes. Finally, we highlight opportunities for future field work and remote sensing efforts to inform our understanding of the role that floodplain topography, including abandoned channels, plays on avulsion dynamics.

Sobre la naturaleza cognitiva de las metáforas y su papel en la educación: respuesta a Molina Rodelo (2021)
Authors: Torres Martínez Sergio Alberto 
Published: June 2022

En este artículo de respuesta se ofrece una lectura alternativa de la naturaleza cognitiva de la metáfora. En contraste con el análisis propuesto por Molina Rodelo (2021), el presente modelo cognitivo se aparta de las definiciones existentes basadas en la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual (TMT) y la Teoría de los Espacios Mentales (Mental Spaces Theory). Se propone entonces una caracterización de la metáfora como construcción nacida de la cognición encarnada (embodied cognition) del hablante, la que, a su turno, tiene su origen en la percepción misma del entorno. En otras palabras, las metáforas no son un subproducto mental de nuestra experiencia con el mundo físico, una mera simulación mental, como lo afirma la TMT. El resultado es una visión de la metáfora como repositorio de experiencias, actitudes y creencias accesibles a los participantes del acto comunicativo gracias a su experiencia común con el entorno.
Waarom ontbreekt een conservatieve politieke partij in Nederland?
Authors: Stevens Ron 
Published: June 2022

Why is there no conservative political party in the Netherlands?
Because of the existing conservative-religious set of values in a dominant bourgeois culture, as historian Von der Dunk concluded in 1975, a conservative political party never came to fruition. In this article the author examines this observation on the basis of politically pivotal years: 1868, 1917, 1950, 1972 and 2002. At these moments the connection of the conservative-religious values with the age-old regent administrative culture appears to be cast in iron.The author considers Von der Dunk’s conclusion to be proven: in the Netherlands a conservative party has never been viable as long as the Christian political parties represent conservative values adequately. Today’s right-wing populist parties adorn themselves with conservative values, but are essentially and act non-conservative.

Low-Cost Simple Compact and Portable Ground-Penetrating Radar Prototype for Detecting Improvised Explosion Devices
Authors: Raha Krishnendu , Prasan Ray Kamla 
Published: June 2022

This chapter presents the design and fabrication of a low-cost continuous-wave ground-penetrating radar for detecting improvised explosive devices buried in the soil for use of security forces. It is low cost and simple because it uses a single frequency (920 MHz) and is designed only for the detection of the buried target. The work presented includes designing of transmitter system module, receiver system module, antennas, power module, graphical user interface module, and making a prototype that is compact and portable. The chapter explains the concept and illustrates a method to enhance isolation between antennas, which is a very important parameter for the effective functioning of ground-penetrating radar. The presented method of enhancing isolation by cavity-backing a rectangular microstrip antenna and keeping them separated at an optimum gap yielded high isolation of 52.6 dB. The prototype radar, using the enhanced isolation antennas, demonstrates the capability to detect up to the depth of 65 cm for a circular steel target of radius 12.5 cm buried in loose semi-dry pebbled soil. The prototype radar is sensitive enough to detect a plastic box, a small bunch of wire, a book (paper) buried in soil and a wooden slab and a steel scale buried in a sandpit.
