description: The heat transfer characteristics of external flames impinging on an exterior vertical wall have been investigated experimentally. The external flame was produced by the combustion of liquid fuel n-heptane in a compartment and then ejected from the compartment opening. The effect of opening geometry on the heat flux distribution is studied. Results indicate that the opening aspect ratio, which is defined as the ratio of opening height to width, has great influence on the heat flux distribution on the exterior wall. With increasing the opening width, the external flame inclines to the wall side and becomes shallower, which improves the heat transfer to the wall. A correlation is developed for correlating the heat flux to the flame height.

description: En el presente trabajo, se presenta una breve lectura, quizá un diálogo entre tres grandes áreas del conocimiento y el arte: la filosofía, la lingüística y la literatura. De forma concisa se pretende un eje transversal donde se propone estudiar las figuras literarias, precisamente la metáfora, para comprobar que frente a la gran cantidad de variables complejas que la lingüística estudia frente al fenómeno del lenguaje, no se puede descartar la reflexión sobre los poetas y escritores de literatura, frente al uso estético del lenguaje. Además, se propone estudiar la fuerza semántica y perlocutiva de la metáfora que finalmente desembocan en una reflexión filosófica del lenguaje.
The incidence and outcomes of chronic kidney disease amongst Indigenous Australians
Creators: name: Lawton, Paul
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: Over the last thirty years an end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) epidemic has occurred amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians. This thesis uses existing data to examine the outcomes of Indigenous ESKD patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT), and in more detail the outcomes of both treated ESKD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia (whose Indigenous peoples have especially high rates of kidney disease). Using national RRT registry data, unadjusted analysis suggested that past differences in survival between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians had closed more recently. However, adjusting for substantial population differences uncovered significant persisting disparities in survival despite improvements overall. Analysis limited to dialysis patients aged 15–64 years showed that survival differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous patients have improved over time, but that Indigenous transplant rates have worsened. Analysis comparing transplant recipients to similar dialysis-only patients (using propensity score methods) revealed that Indigenous transplanted patients had better survival than similar dialysis-only patients but relatively fewer suitable Indigenous patients were transplanted. Linked NT hospital and RRT registry data revealed large variations in haemodialysis treatment attendance. Lower attendance was associated with being Indigenous (rather than relocation from remote areas), and with higher rates of death and hospitalisation and much lower rates of transplantation. Ambulatory laboratory data from the main pathology service for the Top End of the NT were examined. Rates of testing were high and rising, particularly in remote districts with high CKD prevalence. Among those with albuminuria, extremely high rates of progressive CKD were found. Taken together these findings suggest that current Indigenous/non- Indigenous disparities in ESKD outcomes are attributable to low transplantation rates and lower treatment attendance. High rates of CKD progression in remote areas are also concerning. These findings raise questions about the quality and equity of care for Indigenous patients. Further analysis requires linked datasets.

description: Land Use – Land Cover (LULC) maps have developed remarkably since the global community became aware of the importance of knowing where LULC change is taking place on the Earth's surface. The rapid evolution of geographic information data handling and the automation of satellite image interpretation through remote sensing techniques and algorithms is providing increasingly abundant and up-to-date information on LULC. In addition, at large detail scales, it is important to link LULC maps to available statistical information, such as census information and business activities, which allow land parcels to be more accurately classified. Though automated classification methods can produce useful maps at smaller detail scales, it is not usually possible to accurately map urban areas at large scales without considerable investment of human resources. The development of large-scale information for urban areas is very important, especially in urban areas with accelerated rates of urban change which may jeopardize natural resources and citizens’ quality of life. In this paper, the creation of a set of large detail scale LULC maps and accompanying geodatabase for one such dynamic urban change region, the Madrid Autonomous Community (AC), Spain, is discussed.

description: This work aimed at setting up a multivariate and geostatistical methodology to map viticultural terroirs at the province scale (1:125,000). The methodology is based upon the creation of a GIS storing all the viticultural and oenological legacy data of experimental vineyards (1989–2009), long-term climate data, digital elevation model, soilscapes (land systems) and legacy data of soil profiles.Environmental parameters related to viticulture, selected by an explorative PCA, were: elevation, mean annual temperature, mean soil temperature, annual precipitation, clay, sand and gravel content of soils, soil water availability, redoximorphic features and rooting depth.The variables interpolated using geostatistical methods, were used for a k-means clustering aimed to map the Natural Terroir Units (NTU). Vineyards of the province of Siena was subdivided into 9 NTU.Both the historical DOCG (Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano) and other DOCs were characterized by three or four NTU, whereas the wider Chianti and Chianti Colli senesi DOCG was mainly constituted by seven NTU.

description: The São Roque Domain has an extensive geological cartographic base that began in the nineteenth century with the works performed by the Geographic and Geological Commission of São Paulo Province. The first more detailed geological maps of geological substrate of the São Paulo city and neighboring areas were executed in the decades of 1940–1950, and culminated in the integrated maps by José Moacyr Vianna Coutinho published in the 1970s. As part of a systematic geological mapping campaign led by PRÓ-MINÉRIO, most of the São Roque Domain was mapped at 1:50,000 scales; these maps, and others at the same or more detailed scale published mostly in the 1980s, are only available in unpublished academic theses and reports. This article presents an integrated map of most of the São Roque Domain based on all the available maps and some new stratigraphic and geochronological data that appeared in recent local literature.

description: After the 6 April, 2009 normal faulting L'Aquila earthquake (Mw 6.3), the attention of many scientists was drawn to the Abruzzo Apennines. Until that time few studies had addressed the geomorphological and morphotectonic features of this area and none to extensive geomorphological mapping.The tectonic-geomorphological map (scale 1:40,000) presented in this work is the result of a morphotectonic investigation of the middle Aterno River valley, which includes the area from the western L'Aquila-Coppito basin (to the northwest) to the Paganica–San Demetrio basin and to the Castelnuovo–Civitaretenga basin (to the southeast).The map is implemented within a GIS environment by means of: DEM and map-based cartographic analysis and morphometry of orography and hydrography (raster and vector data scale 1:25,000, 10 m grid DEM), photogeological analysis (scale 1:10,000), structural geomorphological field mapping (scale 1:10,000), basin fill geometry analysis (geophysical and borehole investigations) and tectonic–geomorphological profiles that couple landforms, deposits and surfaces. The map incorporates orography and hydrography, basin fill geometry, tectonic–geomorphology and tectonic–geomorphological profiles.The result provides a basis for the recognition of morphotectonic features at basin scale, detection of tectonic control on the landscape, and reconstruction of paleo-landscapes and basin geometry.

description: This paper presents the methodology used to develop snow depth distribution maps for a small catchment in the Central Spanish Pyrenees covering 55 ha in a 1:10,000 scale. The Main Map was obtained using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology from a long-range Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) in six field surveys undertaken during the 2012 winter–spring period. This technique enabled the acquisition of information at a very high resolution concerning the spatial variability of snow cover, providing snow depth information for remote areas where data acquisition is complex and hazardous. We describe the methodological steps and the quality assessment applied in developing the maps. Comparison with manual measurements confirmed the reliability of the snow depth maps, including areas located at large distances from the scanner (800 m). This method provides a promising tool for future investigations of snow dynamics in mountainous environments.

description: OBJECTIVE:Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by a robust pro-inflammatory component at both hepatic and systemic levels together with a disease-specific gut microbiome signature. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 B (PTP1B) plays distinct roles in non-immune and immune cells, in the latter inhibiting pro-inflammatory signaling cascades. In this study, we have explored the role of PTP1B in the composition of gut microbiota and gut barrier dynamics in methionine and choline-deficient (MCD) diet-induced NASH in mice. METHODS:Gut features and barrier permeability were characterized in wild-type (PTP1B WT) and PTP1B-deficient knockout (PTP1B KO) mice fed a chow or methionine/choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 4 weeks. The impact of inflammation was studied in intestinal epithelial and enteroendocrine cells. The secretion of GLP-1 was evaluated in primary colonic cultures and plasma of mice. RESULTS:We found that a shift in the gut microbiota shape, disruption of gut barrier function, higher levels of serum bile acids, and decreased circulating glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 are features during NASH. Surprisingly, despite the pro-inflammatory phenotype of global PTP1B-deficient mice, they were partly protected against the alterations in gut microbiota composition during NASH and presented better gut barrier integrity and less permeability under this pathological condition. These effects concurred with higher colonic mucosal inflammation, decreased serum bile acids, and protection against the decrease in circulating GLP-1 levels during NASH compared with their WT counterparts together with increased expression of GLP-2-sensitive genes in the gut. At the molecular level, stimulation of enteroendocrine STC-1 cells with a pro-inflammatory conditioned medium (CM) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages triggered pro-inflammatory signaling cascades that were further exacerbated by a PTP1B inhibitor. Likewise, the pro-inflammatory CM induced GLP-1 secretion in primary colonic cultures, an effect augmented by PTP1B inhibition. CONCLUSION:Altogether our results have unraveled a potential role of PTP1B in the gut-liver axis during NASH, likely mediated by increased sensitivity to GLPs, with potential therapeutic value.

description: Existing cerebrovascular blood pressure autoregulation metrics have not been translated to clinical care for pediatric cardiac arrest, in part because signal noise causes high index time-variability. We tested whether a wavelet method that uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) or intracranial pressure (ICP) decreases index variability compared to that of commonly used correlation indices. We also compared whether the methods identify the optimal arterial blood pressure (ABPopt) and lower limit of autoregulation (LLA). 68 piglets were randomized to cardiac arrest or sham procedure with continuous monitoring of cerebral blood flow using laser Doppler, NIRS and ICP. The arterial blood pressure (ABP) was gradually reduced until it dropped to below the LLA. Several autoregulation indices were calculated using correlation and wavelet methods, including the pressure reactivity index (PRx and wPRx), cerebral oximetry index (COx and wCOx), and hemoglobin volume index (HVx and wHVx). Wavelet methodology had less index variability with smaller standard deviations. Both wavelet and correlation methods distinguished functional autoregulation (ABP above LLA) from dysfunctional autoregulation (ABP below the LLA). Both wavelet and correlation methods also identified ABPopt with high agreement. Thus, wavelet methodology using NIRS may offer an accurate vasoreactivity monitoring method with reduced signal noise after pediatric cardiac arrest.

Conserved Syntenic Block

description: Comparative chromosome-painting analysis among highly rearranged karyotypes of Sigmodontinae rodents (Rodentia, Cricetidae) detects conserved syntenic blocks, which are proposed as chromosomal signatures and can be used as phylogenetic markers. In the Akodontini tribe, the molecular topology (Cytb and/or IRBP) shows five low-supported clades (divisions: "Akodon", "Bibimys", "Blarinomys", "Oxymycterus", and "Scapteromys") within two high-supported major clades (clade A: "Akodon", "Bibimys", and "Oxymycterus"; clade B: "Blarinomys" and "Scapteromys"). Here, we examine the chromosomal signatures of the Akodontini tribe by using Hylaeamys megacephalus (HME) probes to study the karyotypes of Oxymycterus amazonicus (2n = 54, FN = 64) and Blarinomys breviceps (2n = 28, FN = 50), and compare these data with those from other taxa investigated using the same set of probes. We strategically employ the chromosomal signatures to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among the Akodontini. When we follow the evolution of chromosomal signature states, we find that the cytogenetic data corroborate the current molecular relationships in clade A nodes. We discuss the distinct events that caused karyotypic variability in the Oxymycterus and Blarinomys genera. In addition, we propose that Blarinomys may constitute a species complex, and that the taxonomy should be revised to better delimit the geographical boundaries and their taxonomic status.

description: We have produced a morphostructural map to explore the tectonic geomorphology of the Lucania part of the southern Apennines mountain front to assess the relative role that tectonic and erosion processes played in shaping the topography of this part of the orogen. Data were collected mainly through field work and airphoto interpretation. The main morpho-tectonic elements seem to be affected by out-of-sequence thrusting and wide regional uplift which played an important role in the latest stage of orogenic wedge evolution.The geomorphic expression of the local tectonics of individual structures reflects the structural and stratigraphic heritage and were overprinted in the Middle Pleistocene when regional rock uplift lifted the entire mountain front and its foredeep above sea level, imparting a new tectonic slope that dictates erosion and landscape evolution to the present day. Distinct geomorphological features such as asymmetrical ridges, relict valleys and paleosurfaces, have developed on rocks of variable durability and are exposed by regional uplift and erosion along non-cylindrical structures, fault transfer zones, and lateral ramps.This map also identifies for the first time a relict strike valley at the mountain front and a set of geomorphic markers that highlight the particular relationship between drainage evolution and thrusting.

description: This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of compliance with mandatory spending on education and health in 29 regencies/cities in Papua. The data analysis method applies quantitative descriptive data by using regional financial data, namely: Regional Revenue and Expenditure Targets, Education and Health Expenditure Allocation for Fiscal Year 2021, Realization of Regional Income, and Expenditure, Education and Health Expenditure Allocation for the Fiscal Year 2017-2020. The main finding of this study is that 27 local governments have not complied with mandatory spending on education, while for health, there are six local governments in Papua. Of course, this fact indicates one of the weaknesses in achieving the competitiveness of human development in Papua. Next is the fact that study results show that the amount of regional income and expenditure is not necessarily accompanied by the level of compliance with mandatory spending. This indicates the poor quality of planning and budgeting at the local government level in Papua. The author is aware of the limitations of this study; in disclosing the facts of compliance with mandatory spending on education and health, it is hoped that further research can measure the impact of mandatory spending on regional development performance indicators through an econometric model approach.

description: In this paper a geomorphological map of the Rotolon landslide is presented. This cartographic product was obtained using a combination of accurate field surveys together with airborne Lidar analysis, aerial photo interpretation and thermographic field surveys within a GIS. The map was prepared in order to analyze the morphological features of the landslide and therefore improve interpretation of the GB-InSAR data. This monitoring device was installed on the site after the detachment of a debris mass of 225,000 m3 on 4 November 2010. The main purpose of the post-event activities, including the geomorphological characterization, was to detect the processes acting on the landslide, evaluate the hazard related to each phenomenon, understand the landslide kinematics and define the residual risk for the area.The geomorphological map suggests that debris production and detachment are hazardous phenomena that involve the surficial detrital cover of a bigger and more complex landslide. The latter has the typical characteristics of a deep-seated gravitational slope deformation. The distinction between secondary processes, which appear to be the most hazardous in the short-term, and deep seated ones, demonstrates that accurate mapping provides important information for local administrations and decision makers, allowing them to prepare landslide susceptibility and hazard models.

description: Here we present a 1:1,000,000 geological map of the Ariadnes basin (31–38° S, 170–179° E) (Mars), which is one of the topographic depressions located between Terra Sirenum and Terra Cimmeria in the Martian highlands. This basin is diverse, both in terms of morphology and mineralogy, and it is a site of major interest to study the chronological boundary between the Noachian and Hesperian periods (∼3.71 Ga). However, a detailed map of the area has not yet been published. The map described in this paper was produced through the analysis of recent images and topographic data that allow the definition of the geologic units with unprecedented detail. We distinguished eight units and diverse tectonic and geomorphic features. We also examined the regional stratigraphy by age determination using crater counting in order to constrain the geological history of the Ariadnes basin. The map provides a basis for which later analyses can build understanding of the regional paleoenvironment.

description: AbstractThis study examines the impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices on the performance of Blue Economy projects in Kenya's coastal region. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to analyze the effectiveness of TQM principles such as leadership commitment, process management, customer focus, and continuous improvement. The study targeted project managers, team members, and stakeholders involved in Blue Economy projects, with a total sample of 116 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including ANOVA and regression tests, were utilized to evaluate the data.
The findings indicate that TQM practices significantly enhance project performance, with leadership commitment and continuous improvement showing the strongest positive effects. Process management and customer focus also positively impact project outcomes, although challenges such as resistance to change and integration difficulties were noted. The study's results align with existing literature, confirming the critical role of TQM in improving efficiency, quality, and stakeholder satisfaction in the Blue Economy sector.
The research concludes that effective TQM implementation is essential for the success of Blue Economy projects. Recommendations include enhancing leadership training, addressing process management challenges, strengthening customer focus, and promoting continuous improvement. Future research should explore the impact of TQM on specific Blue Economy sectors, conduct longitudinal studies, and investigate contextual challenges to provide a deeper understanding of TQM practices in varying environments.

description: Glaciers are widely recognized as the best terrestrial indicators of climate change. Nevertheless, changes that have occurred since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) are often poorly understood. In Italy, glacier front variations in the last 100 years have been well documented, thanks to the efforts of the Italian Glaciological Committee (Comitato Glaciologico Italiano, CGI), which coordinates annual surveys on all glaciers, since 1927, in order to measure their front positions. However, although front variations are the easiest measurements to take in the field, they only partially describe changes that occur on the entire glacial mass. Moreover, the last national glacier inventory dates back to 1957–1958, which was promoted by the CGI on the occasion of the International Geophysical Year. Authors of the present work herein provide an updated inventory of present-day (2006) glaciers in the Western and South-Western Piedmont Alps (situated in the provinces of Turin and Cuneo). Along with the present-day glacial outlines, the map also includes a reconstruction of the extent of the glaciers during the Little Ice Age, inferred from morphological features such as LIA and post-LIA moraine ridges as well as the aid of historical archive data. Some basic glacier morphometric parameters (surface, length, width, mean slope, highest and lowest altitude, exposure) were computed for the two specified time periods (LIA and 2006). This study was carried out under the framework of the project ‘GlaRiskAlp – Glacial Risks in Western Alps’, project n.° 56 under the 2007–2013 ALCoTra programs.

description: This dissertation is a study of the Commonwealth Government’s administration of the Northern Territory’s pastoral industry from 1911 to 1978. From the beginning the Commonwealth adopted the objective of closer settlement, looking to the pastoral industry as the genesis of the Territory’s development. Pastoralists, particularly larger corporate ones, would develop the Territory’s rural lands and the Commonwealth would then resume some of those lands for closer settlement, usually by agriculturalists, mixed farmers, or for smaller grazing properties. This in turn would be followed by the development of population centres, and further expansion. To achieve its goals, the Commonwealth relied on leasehold land usage and refused to allow freehold. Leasehold enabled the Commonwealth to reacquire pastoral lands at certain intervals. The Commonwealth’s policies brought it into conflict with pastoralists and their representative associations. Many pastoralists were opposed to closer settlement and actively sought to exploit Territory lands for short–term gain. The title of this dissertation – ‘Blame and Martyrs’ – has been chosen, firstly to reflect the culture of negativity and blame levelled against the Commonwealth for the pastoral industry’s supposed lack of development and support. Secondly, pastoralists frequently portrayed themselves as pioneers or martyrs, struggling to make a living while oppressed by an uncaring Commonwealth administration. The image was a false one, yet many pastoralists adopted it. It is argued that corporate pastoralists occupied vast tracts of land, far too large to be effectively managed. They resisted all attempts by the Commonwealth to resume their land, while complaining about their supposedly high management costs, and blamed the Commonwealth for the financial losses they sustained, losses which were often caused by their own actions. Smaller, family pastoralists likewise blamed the Commonwealth for their misfortunes, refused to acknowledge their own contribution to those misfortunes, and relied on the Commonwealth for financial support to such an extent that it ultimately became a substitute for good management. This dissertation is a defence of the Commonwealth, as events are viewed through its eyes. The study does not absolve the Commonwealth from blame, as it made a number of mistakes during its administration of the Territory’s pastoral industry; however, it is argued that failures were as much the fault of pastoralists and their representative associations. Throughout its tenure, the Commonwealth introduced a number of initiatives intended to foster development within the industry. Many pastoralists failed to respond to those initiatives, frequently sought to undermine the Commonwealth’s actions, blamed it for the lack of development in the industry, and refused to acknowledge that they too had responsibilities if their industry were to prosper.

description: Exposures to mobile source air toxics (MSATs) have been associated with numerous adverse health effects. While thousands of air toxic compounds are emitted from mobile sources, members of a subset of compounds are considered high priority due to their significant contribution to cancer and noncancer health risks and the contribution of mobile sources to total exposure as evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National-Scale Air Toxics Assessments (NATA). These pollutants include benzene, 1,3-butadiene, ethylbenzene, acrolein, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, naphthalene, polycyclic organic matter, and diesel particulate matter/organic gases. This study provided year-long trends of benzene, 1,3-butadiene, acrolein, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde in Las Vegas, NV. Results indicated that MSAT concentrations often did not exhibit trends typical of other primary emitted pollutants in this study. Instead, other mobile sources beyond the highway of interest contributed to the measured values, including a major arterial road, a large commercial airport, and a nearby parking lot. The data were compared with relevant census-tract NATA estimates, with estimated ambient 1,3-butadiene concentrations similar to the measured values. Measured benzene values were much lower relative to the NATA total ambient benzene concentrations. Measured acrolein values were much higher relative to the NATA total acrolein concentrations. Measured acetaldehyde and formaldehyde values were also higher relative to the NATA total acetaldehyde and formaldehyde concentrations for all wind conditions and downwind conditions. Some possible explanations for these differences include nearby sources influencing the measured values; meteorological influences that may not be well captured by the NATA modeling regime; chemical reactivity of measured compounds; and additional explanatory variables may be needed for certain urban areas in order to accurately disaggregate anthropogenic air toxics emissions. Implications: Comparison of air toxics concentrations measured at four long-term near-road sites in Las Vegas, NV, show generally good agreement with the EPA 2005 NATA total ambient concentrations. Measured concentrations did not compare as well with EPA 2005 NATA for the on-road mobile portion of the ambient concentrations. This highlights the complexity of air toxic emission sources and impacts in urban areas, especially around large highway facilities; NATA's inability to capture local-scale meteorology and fine-scale ambient gradients; and that additional explanatory variables may be needed for certain urban areas in order to accurately disaggregate anthropogenic air toxics emissions.
