AbstractMany natural sounds have frequency spectra composed of integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. This property, known as harmonicity, plays an important role in auditory information processing. However, the extent to which harmonicity influences the processing of sound features beyond pitch is still unclear. This is interesting because harmonic sounds have lower information entropy than inharmonic sounds. According to predictive processing accounts of perception, this property could produce more salient neural responses due to the brain's weighting of sensory signals according to their uncertainty. In the present study, we used electroencephalography to investigate brain responses to harmonic and inharmonic sounds commonly occurring in music: Piano tones and hi‐hat cymbal sounds. In a multifeature oddball paradigm, we measured mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3a responses to timbre, intensity, and location deviants in listeners with and without congenital amusia—an impairment of pitch processing. As hypothesized, we observed larger amplitudes and earlier latencies (for both MMN and P3a) in harmonic compared with inharmonic sounds. These harmonicity effects were modulated by sound feature. Moreover, the difference in P3a latency between harmonic and inharmonic sounds was larger for controls than amusics. We propose an explanation of these results based on predictive coding and discuss the relationship between harmonicity, information entropy, and precision weighting of prediction errors.

AbstractAccumulation of H+ can cause soil acidification, affect soil particle interactions, and alter soil processes. In this study, aggregation kinetics of montmorillonite colloids induced by monovalent ions of Li+ and H+ were determined by dynamic light scattering. The experimental results indicated that the critical coagulation concentration (CCC) value of Li+ was 4.5 times that of H+, indicating that H+ can strongly promote montmorillonite colloids aggregation. Joint analysis of the adsorption force type and energy of Li+ and H+ as well as the infrared spectroscopy of Li+ and H+ montmorillonite indicated that there was only electrostatic adsorption for Li+, while there was not only electrostatic adsorption but also a new type of covalent adsorption for H+: polarisation‐induced covalent adsorption. The total adsorption energy of H+ is thus much higher than that of Li+ on montmorillonite surfaces. Moreover, the polarisation‐induced covalent adsorption energy of H+ increased linearly with increasing electric field strength, which is consistent with the quantum mechanical analysis of the asymmetric orbital hybridisation of surface O atoms on montmorillonite. On this basis, the polarisation‐induced covalent adsorption energy of H+ was employed to predict the CCC value of H+ induced montmorillonite aggregation, and it was 7.40 mmol L−1. The high agreement with experimental results (7.26 mmol L−1) proved that the polarisation‐induced covalent interactions between H+ and surface O atoms promotes montmorillonite aggregation. This polarisation induced covalent effect between H+ and surface O atoms might further affect the formation and stability of soil aggregates and the pore status of soil structure, especially as soil acidification is currently becoming a global issue. The discovery from this study will improve our understanding of the effects of soil acidification on soil properties and processes.Highlights

A modern two‐layer hypothesis helps resolve the ‘savanna problem’
Authors: Kulmatiski Andrew , Beard Karen H. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractFor over a century, deep roots have been assumed to allow trees to avoid competition with grasses (i.e., the two‐layer hypothesis). Yet, in part because it remains difficult to measure water uptake in the field, there has been a shift in savanna ecology away from the two‐layer hypothesis and towards alternative explanations of tree‐grass coexistence. Here, we combine hydrologic tracer experiments and soil water flow models to demonstrate how the distribution of active roots affects water uptake across a range of savanna conditions. Grass roots were shallower and provided pre‐emptive access to enough soil water to allow nearly continuous grass cover, but slightly deeper roots provided trees with more total water under most conditions. This ‘some water now or more water later’ tradeoff varied with precipitation amount, soil texture, and tree and grass relative root abundance in ways that helped explain tree and grass landscape abundance.
Isolation‐by‐distance and isolation‐by‐oceanography in Maroon Anemonefish (Amphiprion biaculeatus)

Published: July 2022

AbstractObtaining dispersal estimates for a species is key to understanding local adaptation and population dynamics and to implementing conservation actions. Genetic isolation‐by‐distance (IBD) patterns can be used for estimating dispersal, and these patterns are especially useful for marine species in which few other methods are available. In this study, we genotyped coral reef fish (Amphiprion biaculeatus) at 16 microsatellite loci across eight sites across 210 km in the central Philippines to generate fine‐scale estimates of dispersal. All sites except for one followed IBD patterns. Using IBD theory, we estimated a larval dispersal kernel spread of 8.9 km (95% confidence interval of 2.3–18.4 km). Genetic distance to the remaining site correlated strongly with the inverse probability of larval dispersal from an oceanographic model. Ocean currents were a better explanation for genetic distance at large spatial extents (sites greater than 150 km apart), while geographic distance remained the best explanation for spatial extents less than 150 km. Our study demonstrates the utility of combining IBD patterns with oceanographic simulations to understand connectivity in marine environments and to guide marine conservation strategies.

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe bacteriumRhodococcus equicauses pneumonia in foals that is prevalent at breeding farms worldwide. In the absence of an effective vaccine, transfusion of commercial plasma from donor horses hyperimmunised againstR. equiis used by many farms to reduce the incidence of pneumonia among foals at farms where the disease is endemic. The effectiveness of hyperimmune plasma for controllingR. equipneumonia in foals has varied considerably among reports. The purposes of this narrative review are: (1) to review early studies that provided a foundational basis for the practice of transfusion of hyperimmune plasma that is widespread in the United States and in many other countries; (2) to summarise current knowledge of hyperimmune plasma for preventingR. equipneumonia; (3) to provide an interpretive summary of probable explanations for the variable results among studies evaluating the effectiveness of transfusion of hyperimmune plasma for reducing the incidence ofR. equipneumonia; (4) to review mechanisms by which hyperimmune plasma might mediate protection; and (5) to consider risks of transfusing foals with hyperimmune plasma. Although the weight of evidence supports the practice of transfusing foals with hyperimmune plasma to preventR. equipneumonia, many important gaps in our knowledge of this topic remain including the volume/dose of hyperimmune plasma to be transfused, the timing(s) of transfusion, and the mechanism(s) by which hyperimmune plasma mediates protection. Transfusing foals with hyperimmune plasma is expensive, labour‐intensive, and carries risks for foals; therefore, alternative approaches for passive and active immunisation to preventR. equipneumonia are greatly needed.
Lessons from the Field. Development of a group intervention to promote need‐supportive sport parenting

AbstractObjectiveThis Lesson from the Field describes the development of a need‐supportive parenting intervention aimed at enhancing motivation and preventing burnout in youth athletes.BackgroundSelf‐determination theory posits that basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) are essential for optimal motivation and performance in any context. However, research has shown that parents, a critical social agent, may thwart rather than support their children's psychological needs in competitive contexts such as sport. The development and implementation of need‐supportive sport parenting interventions are warranted.MethodWe reviewed and analyzed the components, including the content, frequency, and duration, of need‐supportive sport coaching interventions and parenting interventions in other domains (e.g., education). Based on the analysis, we constructed our intervention with a workbook to educate parents on (a) reducing athlete pressure, (b) providing choices within limits, (c) focusing on individual improvement, and (d) enhancing parent–child communication. We used gymnastics examples to illustrate these strategies.ConclusionThis article provides parent educators with a theoretically and empirically informed intervention to work with sport parents. The proposed benefits of the program may extend beyond athlete motivation and burnout prevention to better parent–child relationships and psychological need satisfaction of both the parent and the child.

AbstractIncreasing depletion of fish stocks in the Mediterranean Sea intensifies conflicts between fisheries and marine mammals, such as the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, Montagu, 1821). To increase the knowledge of such interactions in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, fishing activities of commercial fisheries and biomass of fish families targeted by fisheries and T. truncatus were analysed to identify areas that are more likely to be affected by these conflicts in the Dodecanese region of Greece. The area with the highest risk of conflict is located between Kos and Leros islands and the southwest coast of Turkey, which is mainly caused by trawl fishing activities. The presence of Sparidae, Merlucciidae, Mullidae and other unspecified fish families increased the likelihood of conflicts. Our applied method and results can be used to improve fishing regulations and management to diminish similar conflicts elsewhere in the world.

AbstractElucidating the response mechanism of soil respiration (Rs) to silvicultural practices is pivotal to evaluating the effects of management practices on soil carbon cycling in planted forest ecosystems. However, as common management practices, how thinning, understory plant removal, and their interactions affect Rs and its autotrophic and heterotrophic components (Ra and Rh) remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated Rs, Ra and Rh by the trenching method from 2011 to 2015 in a Pinus tabuliformis plantation in northern China, subjecting to four treatments (intact control plots [CK], thinning [T], understory removal [UR], and thinning with understory removal [TUR]). Mean annual Rs was significantly increased by thinning (by 15.3%), whereas decreased by UR (by 17.4%), compared with CK. These variations in Rs were mainly attributed to changes in Ra. The increments of Ra were caused by the enhanced growth of fine root biomass after thinning. However, UR led to lower Ra compared with CK (p < .05), indicating that understory growth is inadequate to compensate for the decreased respiring root biomass induced by understory removal. Rs was unchanged between TUR and the intact control plot due to the opposite effects of thinning and UR on the Ra. Changes in Rh exhibited no significant differences among the treatments, partly because of the stable microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and forest floor mass (litter and fine woody debris). No interaction effect between thinning and understory removal was detected on Rs, Ra, and Rh. The lowest temperature sensitivity (Q10) value of Ra was found in CK. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating understory plant effects on soil CO2 efflux in assessing forest management practices on soil carbon cycling.

AbstractObjectiveWe aimed to report the accessible demographic, clinical, and radiological characteristics of reported pediatric paroxysmal hemicrania (PH).IntroductionIt has been a while since PH in a child was first described. However, it is still unknown whether children's PH follows the same patterns as adults.MethodsThis study followed the latest version of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses). PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched systematically without time limitation. We included all English‐language, peer‐reviewed articles, including observational or interventional studies reporting PH cases in children or adolescents based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) criteria. Data extracted included PH class; sex; age; age of onset; frequency, duration, site, severity, and quality of pains; triggers; and autonomic and migrainous symptoms, as well as a sense of restlessness/agitation, response to treatment, laboratory investigations, imaging, comorbidity, and family history. For quality assessment, two independent reviewers (MB and VM) assessed the methodological quality of the included studies through the Joanna Briggs Institute's critical appraisal checklist.ResultsA total of 182 records were identified and reduced to 116 after removing duplicates. After screening, 22 articles met the inclusion criteria. Overall, the studies represented 35 children or adolescents with PH. We found a boy‐to‐girl ratio of 1.125:1. Onset occurred at a broad range of 1 to 14 years old. The mean age of onset among reported cases in children and adolescents was 6.5 years, while the mean age of diagnosis was 8.2 years. [Correction added on 22 August 2022, after first online publication: In the preceding sentence, 6.3 and 7.9 years were changed to 6.5 and 8.2 years, respectively.] The attacks' frequency and duration were greatly varied. Left‐sided pain occurred twice as often as right‐sided pain. The characteristics of the pain were usually severe in intensity. In nearly all of the cases, it was accompanied by ipsilateral cranial autonomic features. While most attacks were spontaneous, there were some common triggers. The physical examination, electroencephalogram, and brain magnetic resonance imaging had normal findings. Almost all patients benefited from indomethacin and showed complete responses to treatment, while some needed combination treatment of indomethacin with other medications.ConclusionAlthough pediatric‐onset PH has similar features to adult‐onset PH, there are some challenges with ICHD criteria for younger children that limit the ability to confidently assign a diagnosis. Moreover, owing to concomitant migrainous features, PH may be confused with migraine in children and adolescents.

AbstractObjectiveTo characterize the clinical features of patients with medication‐overuse headache (MOH) according to the class of acute medications being overused.BackgroundMOH is a common global health problem, severely disabling the majority of the patients affected. Although various medications can cause MOH, whether clinical features differ according to the overused medication type remains unclear.MethodsWe analyzed data from a multicenter cross‐sectional study in neurology clinics in Korea from April 2020 to June 2021.ResultsAmong 229 eligible patients, MOH was documented in patients who overused multiple drug classes (69/229, 30.1%; most frequent occurrence), triptans (50/229, 21.8%), non‐opioid analgesics (48/229, 21.0%), and combination‐analgesics (40/229, 17.4%). Patients who overused multiple drug classes reported more frequent use of acute medications (median [25th–75th percentiles]: 25.0 [15.0–30.0] vs. 17.5 [10.0–25.5] days/month, p = 0.029) and fewer crystal‐clear days (0.0 [0.0–9.5] vs. 9.0 [0.0–10.0] days/month, p = 0.048) than those who overused triptans. Patients who overused multiple drug classes also reported shorter intervals from chronic daily headache to the onset of MOH than patients who overused combination‐analgesics (0.6 [0.2–1.9] vs. 2.4 [0.7–5.4] years, p = 0.001) or non‐opioid analgesics (1.5 [0.6–4.3] years, p = 0.004). Patients who overused multiple drug classes reported more emergency room visits (1.0 [0.0–1.0] visits/year) than those who overused combination‐analgesics (0.0 [0.0–1.0], p = 0.024) or non‐opioid analgesics (0.0 [0.0–1.0], p = 0.030). Patients who overused triptans reported fewer headache days (21.0 [20.0–30.0] vs. 30.0 [20.5–30.0] days/month, p = 0.008) and fewer severe headache days (7.0 [4.0–10.0] vs. 10.0 [5.0–15.0] days/month, p = 0.017) than those who overused non‐opioid analgesics.ConclusionsSome clinical characteristics of MOH significantly differed according to the class of overused medications. The findings from this study may contribute to the understanding of the clinical characteristics and pathophysiology of MOH.

AbstractPsoriasis is one of the most frequent skin diseases. The cause of psoriasis is not fully expained as there are many factors (infectious, traumatic, hormonal, and chemical) that may play a role in the manifestation of its symptoms. One of the factors that may contribute to the appearance of psoriatic lesions may be the lesions in the oral cavity. The occurrence of lesions in the oral cavity is defined as rare, what can be explained by their nonspecific clinical image, and also by the possibility of being overlooked. Most characteristic symptoms of psoriasis occurring in the oral cavity are the geographic tongue and fissured tongue. It is also believed that there is a correlation between psoriasis and oral health‐ the periodontal and teeth condition as well as changes in saliva secretion. The psoriasis arthritis changes can also affect temporomandibular joint and impair the function of stomatognathic system. Because of these reports, cooperation of dermatologists and dentists in psoriasis care seems to be necessary.

SummaryQuick rehydration is the most important characteristic of instant noodles. This study investigated the effects of ingredients on the production and drying methods, the quality, and the rehydration time of instant fermented rice noodles. The dried fermented rice flour was mixed with different amounts of water (80%, 85%, and 90%), guar gum (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%), and potassium chloride (1%, 2%, and 3%). The noodles were dried in a microwave vacuum oven and compared with drying in a hot air oven and a microwave continuous oven. The optimum contents of water, guar gum, and potassium chloride were 80%, 1.5%, and 2%, respectively, because water at 80% resulted in the shortest rehydration time and the highest firmness, guar gum at 1.5% could increase firmness and the water absorption ability to produce the highest cooking yield and firmness with the lowest cooking loss, and potassium chloride at 2% resulted in the shortest rehydration time. Microwave vacuum drying produced the fastest rehydration in hot water for 2 min and the quality of these rehydrated noodles was better than for the other tested drying methods. Microwave vacuum drying generated rapid heat that promoted flash evaporation of the vapour in the noodles, resulting in a porous structure.

SummaryThe objective of this study was to investigate the effect of chilling rate on heat shock proteins (HSP) abundance, myofibrillar proteins degradation and caspase‐3 activity of lamb muscle in postmortem. Eighteen longissimus dorsi (LD) muscles from lamb were treated under three different chilling rates—very fast chilling I (VFC‐I, 22.2 °C h−1), very fast chilling II (VFC‐II, 32.4 °C h−1) and control (1.44 °C h−1)—and stored at −1 °C, −1 °C and 4 °C for 120 h postmortem, respectively. The results showed that myofibril fragmentation index (MFI), the abundance of αβ‐crystallin and HSP20, as well as the degradation of HSP27, HSP70, troponin‐T and desmin under the VFC‐I and VFC‐II groups were higher than control. Notably, HSP90 abundance may not be affected by the chilling rate in the late postmortem aging. Additionally, with increasing of chilling rate for postmortem muscle could inhibit caspase‐3 activity. Overall, results indicated that chilling rate may affect the process of meat tenderization by changing the abundance levels of heat shock proteins, myofibrillar degradation and apoptotic pathway.
