description: We specify the range to which perturbations penetrate a planetesimal system. Such perturbations can originate from massive planets or from encounters with other stars. The latter can have an origin in the star cluster in which the planetary system was born, or from random encounters once the planetary system has escaped its parental cluster. The probability of a random encounter, either in a star cluster or in the Galactic field depends on the local stellar density, the velocity dispersion and the time spend in that environment. By adopting order of magnitude estimates we argue that the majority of planetary systems born in open clusters will have a {\em Parking zone}, in which planetesimals are affected by encounters in their parental star cluster but remain unperturbed after the star has left the cluster. Objects found in this range of semi-major axis and eccentricity preserve the memory of the encounter that last affected their orbits, and they can therefore be used to reconstruct this encounter. Planetary systems born in a denser environment, such as in a globular cluster are unlikely to have a Parking zone. We further argue that some planetary systems may have a {\em Frozen zone}, in which orbits are not affected either by the more inner massive planets or by external influences. Objects discovered in this zone will have preserved information about their formation in their orbital parameters.

description: ObjectivesTo estimate exposure to faecal contamination through drinking water as indicated by levels of Escherichia coli (E.coli) or thermotolerant coliform (TTC) in water sources.MethodsWe estimated coverage of different types of drinking water source based on household surveys and censuses using multilevel modelling. Coverage data were combined with water quality studies that assessed E.coli or TTC including those identified by a systematic review (n=345). Predictive models for the presence and level of contamination of drinking water sources were developed using random effects logistic regression and selected covariates. We assessed sensitivity of estimated exposure to study quality, indicator bacteria and separately considered nationally randomised surveys.ResultsWe estimate that 1.8 billion people globally use a source of drinking water which suffers from faecal contamination, of these 1.1 billion drink water that is of at least ‘moderate’ risk (>10 E.coli or TTC per 100ml). Data from nationally randomised studies suggest that 10% of improved sources may be ‘high’ risk, containing at least 100 E.coli or TTC per 100ml. Drinking water is found to be more often contaminated in rural areas (41%, CI: 31%–51%) than in urban areas (12%, CI: 8–18%), and contamination is most prevalent in Africa (53%, CI: 42%–63%) and South-East Asia (35%, CI: 24%–45%). Estimates were not sensitive to the exclusion of low quality studies or restriction to studies reporting E.coli.ConclusionsMicrobial contamination is widespread and affects all water source types, including piped supplies. Global burden of disease estimates may have substantially understated the disease burden associated with inadequate water services.

description: In this second of a two part series, we present pilot clinical data demonstrating Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) ultrasound for monitoring the onset of subcutaneous hemostasis at femoral artery puncture sites (arteriotomies), in vivo. We conducted a randomized, reader-blinded investigation of 20 patient volunteers who underwent diagnostic percutaneous coronary catheterization. After sheath removal (6 French), patients were randomized to treatment with either standard of care manual compression alone or, to expedite hemostasis, manual compression augmented with a p-GlcNAc fiber-based hemostatic dressing (Marine Polymer Technologies, Danvers MA). Concurrent with manual compression, serial ARFI imaging began at the time of sheath removal and continued every minute for 15 min. Serial data sets were processed with custom software to (1) estimate the time of hemostasis onset, and (2) render hybrid ARFI/B-Mode images to highlight displacements considered to correspond to extravasted blood. Images were read by an observer blinded to the treatment groups. Average estimated times to hemostasis in patient volunteers treated with manual compression alone (n = 10) and manual compression augmented by hemostatic dressing (n = 9) were, respectively, 13.00 ± 1.56 and 9.44 ± 3.09 min, which are statistically significantly different (p = 0.0065, Wilcoxon two-sample test). Example images are shown for three selected patient volunteers. These pilot data suggest that ARFI ultrasound is relevant to monitoring subcutaneous bleeding from femoral arteriotomies clinically and that time to hemostasis was significantly reduced by use of the hemostatic dressing.

description: We demonstrate highly accurate recovery of weak gravitational lensing shear using an implementation of the Bayesian Fourier Domain (BFD) method proposed by Bernstein & Armstrong (2014, BA14), extended to correct for selection biases. The BFD formalism is rigorously correct for Nyquist-sampled, background-limited, uncrowded image of background galaxies. BFD does not assign shapes to galaxies, instead compressing the pixel data D into a vector of moments M, such that we have an analytic expression for the probability P(M|g) of obtaining the observations with gravitational lensing distortion g along the line of sight. We implement an algorithm for conducting BFD's integrations over the population of unlensed source galaxies which measures ~10 galaxies/second/core with good scaling properties. Initial tests of this code on ~10^9 simulated lensed galaxy images recover the simulated shear to a fractional accuracy of m=0.0021+-0.0004, substantially more accurate than has been demonstrated previously for any generally applicable method. Deep sky exposures generate a sufficiently accurate approximation to the noiseless, unlensed galaxy population distribution assumed as input to BFD. Potential extensions of the method include simultaneous measurement of magnification and shear; multiple-exposure, multi-band observations; and joint inference of photometric redshifts and lensing tomography.

description: In my 2011 Annals of Applied Statistics article [Goerg (2011)] I wrote that "Whereas the Lambert $W$ function plays an important role in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other fields, it has not yet been used in statistics." This was incorrect. At the time of publication I was unaware of Stehl\'ık (2003), who used the Lambert $W$ function to derive the exact distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic. He has also used it in more recent work such as Stehl\'ık (2006), Stehl\'ık et al. (2010), or Stehl\'ık (2014) amongst others. While Stehlík's use of the Lambert $W$ function was focused on the distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic, my work dealt with the modeling of skewed random variables and symmetrizing data using the Lambert $W$ function as a variable transformation.

description: The thistle biocontrol beetle, Cassida rubiginosa is established in New Zealand, but often not sufficiently abundant to achieve control of the weed, Cirsium arvense (Californian thistle). Mass production of the beetle could enhance biocontrol efforts through supplemental and inundative releases. We carried out an initial test of a semiartificial diet (containing host plant material) designed for laboratory mass production of the beetle. Larval survival rates were tested on diets with three different concentrations of preservatives (full, half, and no preservative), and compared to a positive control (leaf disc of Cirsium arvense), and a negative control (water). Only larvae on the leaf disc developed to the adult stage. Of the diets, the longest survival time was on the full preservative diet, with a mean mortality time of 8.8 ± 0.6 days, and a maximum survival time of 21 days. Although no larvae completed development on the diets, some important progress was achieved: (1) Neonate larvae were mobile on the diet; (2) larvae fed on the diet; and (3) there was adequate control of microbial contamination without being acutely toxic to the larvae. Further development of a diet for Cassida rubiginosa should focus on nutritional components for larval development.

description: Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is an elastography technique that uses ultrasonic pulses to both displace and track tissue motion. Previous modeling studies have shown that ARFI displacements are susceptible to underestimation due to lateral and elevational shearing that occurs within the tracking resolution cell. In this study, optical tracking was utilized to experimentally measure the displacement underestimation achieved by acoustic tracking using a clinical ultrasound system. Three optically translucent phantoms of varying stiffness were created, embedded with sub-wavelength diameter microspheres, and ARFI excitation pulses with F/1.5 or F/3 lateral focal configurations were transmitted from a standard linear array to induce phantom motion. Displacements were tracked using confocal optical and acoustic methods. As predicted by earlier FEM studies, significant acoustic displacement underestimation was observed for both excitation focal configurations; the maximum underestimation error was 35% of the optically measured displacement for the F/1.5 excitation pulse in the softest phantom. Using higher F/#, less tightly focused beams in the lateral dimension improved accuracy of displacements by approximately 10 percentage points. This work experimentally demonstrates limitations of ARFI implemented on a clinical scanner using a standard linear array and sets up a framework for future displacement tracking validation studies.

ÉTUDE DYNAMIQUE ET VARIATIONS SAISONNIÈRES DU PLANCTON DE LA RÉGION DE ROSCOFF

description: Seasonal variations of phytoplancton and coasted hydrography at Roscoff (from February, 1962, to September, 1963), followed at two places: Stations B, 20 m. depth, and A, 90 m. depth. Regular data on temperature, salinity, Secchi depth readings, phosphates (in part only) are given and related to the main meteorological factors (light, evaporation, rains and -winds). During the period under consideration, hydographic conditions may be characterized by the complete homogeneity of this coastal marine area, as a result of mixing by strong tidal currents and winds. Contrary to what occurs on the English coasts, there is no Summer thermochine in the Roscoff region, where tidal currents are twice as fast. Local meteorogical conditions exert à preponderant influence on hydrography, while there is no summer influence from Atlantic waters.
Phytoplankton has been studied in three ways: net samples ; Utermöhl’s sedimentation technique; and pigment measurements, following Richards & Thompson’s method. Specific diversity studies (as used by Margalef) show a seasonal trend in the annual succession of the phytoplanktonic population: a “winter” period with considerable diversity and a “summer” one with fluctuating and rather low diversity. Diatoms are dominant. Large, tychopelagic species are dominant in winter (Melosira sulcata, Biddulphia, Coscinodiscus). Small, truly planktonic species predominate in summer. Five of them (Rhizosolenia delicatula, Rhizosolenia shrubsolei, Guinardia flaccida, Nitzschia seriata, Rhizosolenia stolterfothii) regularly succeeded one another. Quantitatively there are the same species that contribute the concentrations of numbers of cells and of highest pigments. Maxima are: 490.000 cells and 1.9 pg chlorophyll A/Liter in 1962; 316.000 cells and 2.4 pg chlorophyll A/liter in 1963.
The mean pigment biomass in winter does not exceed 50 p. 100 of the mean summer value (41 p. 100 for chlorophyll A). The composition of pigments, indicated by optical density measurements, varies with the period considere

description: We present a new perturbative expansion for pionless effective field theory with Coulomb interactions in which at leading order the spin-singlet nucleon-nucleon channels are taken in the unitarity limit. Presenting results up to next-to-leading order for the Phillips line and the neutron-deuteron doublet-channel phase shift, we find that a perturbative expansion in the inverse 1S0 scattering lengths converges rapidly. Using a new systematic treatment of the proton-proton sector that isolates the divergence due to one-photon exchange, we renormalize the corresponding contribution to the 3H-3He binding energy splitting and demonstrate that the Coulomb force in pionless EFT is a completely perturbative effect in the trinucleon bound-state regime. In our new expansion, the leading order is exactly isospin-symmetric. At next-to-leading order, we include isospin breaking via the Coulomb force and two-body scattering lengths, and find for the energy splitting (E_B(3He)-E_B(3H))^NLO = (-0.86 +/- 0.17) MeV.

description: Drawing on theories of appraisal-based coping, the present study applied structural modeling to examine relationships among personal goal orientations, primary and secondary appraisals of acquaintance sexual assault, and women’s emotional and behavioral responses to it. Based on 415 college women’s reports of a sexual assault experience, the model shows both direct and indirect effects. Assertive, diplomatic, and immobilized responding were each predicted by a unique profile of appraisals and orientations; personal goal orientations and primary appraisals were completely mediated by secondary appraisals. Ways that these findings can facilitate self-protective coping in an acquaintance sexual assault situation, leading to the development of effective, well-tailored self-defense and resistance programs, are discussed.

description: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disabling functional gastrointestinal disorder, which serves as a model for abdominal pain syndromes. An association between intimate partner violence and IBS has been shown among Caucasian women in the industrialized world. To determine whether this relationship transcends cultural boundaries, we conducted a population-based, cross-sectional survey in Nicaragua, using the innovative Health and Demographic Surveillance System in the León province. Women who had experienced physical intimate partner violence had significantly increased risk of IBS (OR 2.08, 95% CI, 1.35, 3.21), as did those who had experienced sexual intimate partner violence (OR 2.85, 95% CI 1.45, 5.59). These findings argue for intimate partner violence screening among Latina women with IBS.
Seasonality in the reproductive biology of a shelf-dwelling galatheid (Crustacea: Decapoda): an example from a Western Mediterranean population of Munida iris rutllanti

description: A glance at the literature is enough to establish that seasonality of the reproductive features is not a general trend
 among galatheid decapods. The most important factor determining population dynamics is the depth at which each species
 dwells. A program was carried out to study the reproductive biology of the shelf-dwelling Munida iris rutllanti using all the
 captures landed by commercial trawlers in the València Harbour area (W. Mediterranean, Spain). The program lasted from
 February 1986 to October 1987, during which time 5116 specimens were collected. The following biological features were
 recorded: size of individuals, percentage of ovigerous females and sex ratio. All this information was then analysed using a
 number of statistical approaches, including time-series analyses. Most of these features greatly vary with time, indicating
 that the reproductive dynamics of this population is seasonal in nature. These conclusions are supported by an analysis of
 the seasonal changes in size-class frequencies. The relationships between variables are outlined, allowing us to draw
 inferences regarding other populational traits, such as time of recruitment or life span.

description: We demonstrate enhanced light extraction for monochrome top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The enhancement by a factor of 1.2 compared to a reference sample is caused by the use of a hole transport layer (HTL) material possessing a low refractive index (1.52). The low refractive index reduces the in-plane wave vector of the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) excited at the interface between the bottom opaque metallic electrode (anode) and the HTL. The shift of the SPP dispersion relation decreases the power dissipated into lost evanescent excitations and thus increases the outcoupling efficiency, although the SPP remains constant in intensity. The proposed method is suitable for emitter materials owning isotropic orientation of the transition dipole moments as well as anisotropic, preferentially horizontal orientation, resulting in comparable enhancement factors. Furthermore, for sufficiently low refractive indices of the HTL material, the SPP can be modeled as a propagating plane wave within other organic materials in the optical microcavity. Thus, by applying further extraction methods, such as micro lenses or Bragg gratings, it would become feasible to obtain even higher enhancements of the light extraction.

description: Economic sustainability is closely linked to firm growth and employment stability, making them of great interest to policymakers and business leaders. Insights into the factors that impact employment growth and employment stability aid decision makers to develop policies that encour-age economic growth and economic sustainability. This study used World Bank Enterprise Survey data to examine the effect of the business obstacles of financing, labour regulation, and under‐skilled workforce on firm growth and on employment stability, estimated by the proportion of permanent to non‐permanent workforce in East Asia and Pacific nations. The instrumental variables (IV) method was used with two‐stage least squares (2SLS) to account for potential endogeneity between the business obstacles and employment growth and the proportion of permanent to non‐permanent workers employed by firms. In addition, the quantile method was applied to capture the partial effect of the reported obstacles across different segments of firm growth. Findings included a significant negative effect of the financing obstacle on employment growth and therefore firm growth, particularly at the lowest levels thereof. In addition, financing and labour regulations obstacles have a significant, negative effect on the proportion of permanent employees in a firm’s workforce.

description: The purpose of this study was to describe how Minimum Data Set (MDS) Coordinators' relationship patterns influence nursing home care processes. The MDS Coordinator potentially interacts with staff across the nursing home to coordinate care processes of resident assessment and care planning. We know little about how MDS Coordinators enact this role or to what extent they may influence particular care processes beyond paper compliance. Guided by complexity science and using two nursing home case studies as examples (pseudonyms Sweet Dell and Safe Harbor), we describe MDS Coordinators' relationship patterns by assessing the extent to which they used and fostered the relationship parameters of good connections, new information flow, and cognitive diversity in their work. Sweet Dell MDS Coordinators fostered new information flow, good connections, and cognitive diversity, which positively influenced assessment and care planning. In contrast, Safe Harbor MDS Coordinators did little to foster good connections, information flow, or cognitive diversity with little influence on care processes. This study revealed that MDS Coordinators are an important new source of capacity for the nursing home industry to improve quality of care. Findings suggest ways to enhance this capacity.

description: We point out the joint occurrence of Pascal triangle patterns and power-law scaling in the standard logistic map, or more generally, in unimodal maps. It is known that these features are present in its two types of bifurcation cascades: period and chaotic- band doubling of attractors. Approximate Pascal triangles are exhibited by the sets of lengths of supercycle diameters and by the sets of widths of opening bands. Additionally, power-law scaling manifests along periodic attractor supercycle positions and chaotic band splitting points. Consequently, the attractor at the mutual accumulation point of the doubling cascades, the onset of chaos, displays both Gaussian and power-law distributions. Their combined existence implies both ordinary and exceptional statistical-mechanical descriptions of dynamical properties.

description: We have switched GaAs/AlAs and AlGaAs/AlAs planar microcavities that operate in the "Original" (O) telecom band by exploiting the instantaneous electronic Kerr effect. We observe that the resonance frequency reversibly shifts within one picosecond. We investigate experimentally and theoretically the role of several main parameters: the material backbone and its electronic bandgap, the pump power, the quality factor, and the duration of the switch pulse. The magnitude of the shift is reduced when the backbone of the central $λ-$layer has a greater electronic bandgap; pumping with photon energies near the bandgap resonantly enhances the switched magnitude. Our model shows that the magnitude of the resonance frequency shift depends on the pump pulse duration and is maximized when the duration matches the cavity storage time that is set by the quality factor. We provide the settings for the essential parameters so that the frequency shift of the cavity resonance can be increased to one linewidth.

description: This model of the adaptive immune system as a code audit system explains the evolutionary choices that led to it taking the form it has taken. Self-tolerance through “peptide-fragment producing cells” that express AIRE (“medullary thymic epithelial cells” and such), can teach lymphocytes what code or language, genetically, belongs to their body, the human. If they encounter a foreign language or dialect, then they will attack it.

description: In this study, we explored how Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) understood resident depression. Interviews with 18 CNAs, working in two nursing homes were guided by Kleinman’s Explanatory Models of Illness framework. Interview data were content analyzed and CNAs’ descriptions of depression were compared to the MDS 2.0 Mood Screen and to DSM-IV-TR Depression Criteria. CNAs identified causes, signs, and symptoms of depression, but they were unsure about the duration and normalcy of depression in residents. Although they had no formal training, CNAs felt responsible for detecting depression and described verbal and non-verbal approaches that they used for emotional care of depressed residents. CNAs hold potential to improve the detection of depression and contribute to the emotional care of residents. Attention to knowledge deficits and facility barriers may enhance this capacity.

description: In order to know the spatio-temporal distribution of a cumacean community and its role as a bioindicator of
 different environmental conditions, a representative seaweed (Halopteris scoparia), with which cumaceans are associated,
 was sampled in different stations in Algeciras Bay during one year. Five stations were sampled seasonally, and eight
 environmental factors were tested (temperature, hydrodynamism, silting, dissolved organic matter, organic matter in silt,
 suspended solids, compactness index, and interstitial volume). The physico-chemical study showed that the bay comprised
 an internal and an external areas, while the spatio-temporal study revealed the presence of three cumacean species, Cumella
 limicola. Nannastacus unguiculatus and Scherocumella longirostris. There was a clear difference in the distribution and the
 abundance of these species. In fact. C. limicola was more abundant in the inner area of the bay, whereas N. unguiculatus was
 more abundant in the outer area. Multivariate analyses were performed to explain the structure of this community along the
 different stations of the bay. The segregation was significantly related to hydrodynamism and algal parameters (interstitial
 volume and compactness index).
Transforming Verbal Counts in Reports of Qualitative Descriptive Studies Into Numbers

description: Reports of qualitative studies typically do not offer much information on the numbers of respondents linked to any one finding. This information may be especially useful in reports of basic, or minimally interpretive, qualitative descriptive studies focused on surveying a range of experiences in a target domain, and its lack may limit the ability to synthesize the results of such studies with quantitative results in systematic reviews. Accordingly, the authors illustrate strategies for deriving plausible ranges of respondents expressing a finding in a set of reports of basic qualitative descriptive studies on antiretroviral adherence and suggest how the results might be used. These strategies have limitations and are never appropriate for use with findings from interpretive qualitative studies. Yet they offer a temporary workaround for preserving and maximizing the value of information from basic qualitative descriptive studies for systematic reviews. They show also why quantitizing is never simply quantitative.

description: Greater understanding of the mechanisms (mediators) by which behavioral change interventions work is critical to developing theory and refining interventions. Although systematic reviews have been advocated as a method for exploring mediators, this is rarely done. One challenge is that intervention researchers typically test only two paths of the mediational model: the effect of the intervention on mediators and on outcomes. We addressed this challenge by drawing information not only from intervention studies but also from observational studies, which provide data on associations between potential mediators and outcomes. We also reviewed qualitative studies of participants’ perceptions of why and how interventions worked. Using data from intervention (n= 37) and quantitative observational studies (n=55), we conducted a meta-analysis of the mediation effects of eight variables. Qualitative findings (n=6) contributed to more in-depth explanations for findings. The methods used have potential to contribute to understanding of core mechanisms of behavioral change interventions.

The Fourth Phase of Water in the Loop of Henle
Creators: name: Nygren, Johan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The loop of Henle has evolved because osmosis consumes and produces dioxygen, O2, and the looped thin segment allows the O2 produced within the thin descending limb during exosmosis, to recirculate out of the thin ascending limb and into the vasa recta, that flows in the opposite direction to the filtrate to return the O2 to the ascending vasa recta. The “pump” that generates osmotic transfer of water, is the phase that water forms as it is forced into a solid phase when it contacts surfaces. This “surface phase” is charge polarized, because the hydrogen ions that separate the lattice sheets in the ice phase of water have been “squeezed out”, to make it more dense than water (the only way a phase change from pressure against surfaces is favourable), and the excluded hydrogen ions protonate water on top of this solid phase. Traditional osmosis is a result of asymmetry in this phase on either side of a membrane, from that the solid phase of water is impaired by solutes. But that is not the only way this “pump” can generate osmosis. In a narrow tube, the positively charged surface of this phase will repel across the diameter of the tube, pushing protons across the tube wall, causing the negatively charged (H3O2-)n phase to break down into electrons, that transfer across the wall as well, and O2, while the protons and electrons combine with O2 on the outside of the tube to form water

description: In Wireless Ad hoc networks (WANETs), nodes separated by considerable distance communicate with each other by relaying their messages through other nodes. However, it might not be in the best interests of a node to forward the message of another node due to power constraints. In addition, all nodes being rational, some nodes may be selfish, i.e. they might not relay data from other nodes so as to increase their lifetime. In this paper, we present a fair and incentivized approach for participation in Ad hoc networks. Given the power required for each transmission, we are able to determine the power saving contributed by each intermediate hop. We propose the FAir Share incenTivizEd Ad hoc paRticipation protocol (FASTER), which takes a selected route from a routing protocol as input, to calculate the worth of each node using the cooperative game theory concept of 'Shapley Value' applied on the power saved by each node. This value can be used for allocation of Virtual Currency to the nodes, which can be spent on subsequent message transmissions.
