description: We estimated the diesel fuel exposure of a plumber repairing an underground water line leak at a truck stop. The repair work was performed over three days during which the plumber spent most of his time in a pit filled with a mixture of water and diesel fuel. Thus, the plumber was exposed via both the inhalation and dermal routes. While previously asymptomatic, he was diagnosed with acute renal failure 35 days after working at this site. No measurements were available for estimating either inhalation or dermal exposures or the cumulative dose and, therefore, two different approaches were used that were based on simple models of the exposure scenario. The first approach used the ideal gas law with the vapor pressure of the diesel fuel mixture to estimate a saturation vapor concentration, while the second one used a mass balance of the petroleum hydrocarbon component of diesel fuel in conjunction with the Henry's Law constant for this mixture. These inhalation exposure estimates were then adjusted to account for the limited ventilation in a confined space. The inhalation exposure concentrations predicted when handling the water layer alone is much lower than that expected from the organic layer. This case study illustrates the large differences in inhalation exposure associated with volatile organic layers and aqueous solution containing these chemicals. The estimate of dermal exposure was negligible compared to the inhalation exposure because the skin presents a much smaller surface area of exposure to the contaminant compared to the lungs. The methodology presented here is useful for situations where little information is available for more formal mathematical exposure modeling, but where adjustments to the worst-case exposures, estimated simply, can provide reasonable exposure estimates.
Distinguishing between Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi: A Reassessment of the Overlap in their Artworks
Creators: name: Willer, Jacob
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Attributions for a number of paintings have oscillated between Orazio Gentileschi and his daughter, Artemisia. The predominant tendency in recent scholarship has been to give these disputed paintings to Artemisia during the time of her education, possibly when still supervised by her father. Here it is argued instead that most of these paintings are by Orazio, or at least of his invention, and those that are by Artemisia were perhaps done later, when she returned to Rome – and to her father’s studio – rather than during her teenage years. To provide a basis for such an argument, all of Orazio’s known extant works from c.1600, when he established himself as an independent artist, until 1621, when he left Rome never to return, are recatalogued. The shape of a catalogue for Artemisia’s entire career is then drawn up, to show better how her personal sensibility always differed from her father’s. And various new attributions, as well as reattributions, are proposed along the way.

description: The growth rate of larval lampreys (ammocoetes) is of critical importance for scientists and managers seeking to better understand, control, and protect lamprey populations. To date, measurements of ammocoete growth have often relied upon indirect methods (e.g., length frequency), but direct measurements of growth rate in wild populations are rare. Lamprey ammocoetes in three streams were individually marked with visible implant elastomer and were subsequently recaptured. Ammocoete growth was variable among sites and among sample events (from –0.035 to 0.18 mm/d; from –0.0022 to 0.012 g/d), and maturation to the juvenile or adult stage was estimated to take 4–10 years, with some animals possibly requiring more time. American Brook Lampreys Lethenteron appendix grew 0.13 mm/d or 0.0055 g/d on average, whereas the growth of Sea Lampreys Petromyzon marinus was variable, with ammocoetes experiencing significantly higher mean growth at one site (0.12 mm/d; 0.0025 g/d) than at the other site (0.032 mm/d; 0.00039 g/d). These estimates provide support for the generally long growth periods of ammocoetes but also suggest that variability plays a wider role even within populations. The variability in growth rate may provide ammocoetes with a highly flexible life history, allowing them to exploit habitats under a variety of conditions potentially encountered during development.

description: For more than 100 years, two dams blocked upstream migration of steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss (anadromous Rainbow Trout) on the Elwha River, Washington. Prior to the removal of both dams (completed in 2015), 30 spatiotemporal collections of resident Rainbow Trout, steelhead, hatchery steelhead, and hatchery-derived Rainbow Trout (1,949 individuals) were made from 17 sites in the river, and the pattern of genetic diversity and connectivity were evaluated using 13 microsatellite loci. Wild-origin steelhead spawned below the downstream dam and were genetically distinguishable from upriver (above dam) resident Rainbow Trout (FST = 0.034), and the resident Rainbow Trout segregated into two distinct groups (FST = 0.056). Nonnative-origin hatchery steelhead varied from the indigenous steelhead (FST = 0.029), and the hatchery trout differed from the resident trout (FST = 0.163). Collections of resident Rainbow Trout from the upper portion of the basin were distinguished by lower estimates of genetic variability (He, AR, and A/L) and effective population size compared with resident Rainbow Trout in the middle reaches of the Elwha River. The break between the two trout groups coincided with Rica Canyon, 8 river kilometers upstream from the Glines Canyon Dam (the upstream dam), suggesting that the upper and middle trout groups represent historic O. mykiss groups separated by flow conditions in the canyon prior to dam construction. Anticipating the potential for genetic exchange between steelhead and resident Rainbow Trout following dam removal, we evaluated the ability of the microsatellite baseline to distinguish F1 crosses between the life history groups with computer simulations. These results demonstrate how a genetic baseline can be used as a conservation management tool to measure potential genetic introgression among resident populations and recolonizing anadromous populations.

description: This paper presents a multidisciplinary exploration of Luis Humberto Salgado’s Second piano sonata. Quantitative data were extracted through the computerised analysis of both the score and the recorded performance of this sonata; later, these data were analysed and visualised employing a number of statistical methods. Principal among the findings of this study is the correlation between tonal complexity and tempo in the first two movements, which suggest its use as an expressive device; while the third movement displays great tonal diversity, it is not associated with greater expressivity. The methods applied during this research may be generalised for the study of other pieces by Salgado and other composers.

description: La provincia de Buenos Aires y la Ciudad de Buenos Aires concentran la mayor población migrante de Argentina. Además, cuentan sistemas progresivos y garantistas en materia de derechos electorales para este colectivo. El electorado migrante representa el 16% del padrón en la CABA y el 7% en la PBA. Sin embargo, se evidencia un techo de participación en torno al 20% en la CABA y del 30% en la PBA – versus el 80% de los/as electores nacionales. Ante esta evidente baja tasa de participación electoral migrante en los dos principales distritos de la Argentina, nos preguntamos: ¿cómo romper el techo de participación electoral de la población migrante en la CABA y la PBA?

description: The Yamuna River, one of the most important and sacred rivers of the northern plains of India, is highly polluted. The river originates at the Yamunotri glacier, traverses 120 km to emerge onto the Indo-Gangetic plains at Dakpathar in Uttarakhand, and finally joins the Ganges River at Allahabad after traversing 1376 km. During 2007–2010 this study assessed the fish diversity, community structure, and ecological status in a 1200 km stretch of the river from Dakpathar to Allahabad. The waters were alkaline (pH 7.6–8.0). Dissolved oxygen was high at most sites (7.3– 9.8 mg l−1), except at Wazirabad and Agra (3.4–3.7 mg l−1). A total of 143 fish species were recorded in the river. Cyprinidae was the most abundant family followed by Schilbeidae, Bagridae, and Sisoridae, respectively. The abundance was dominated by 48 species with = > 250 individuals caught. The highest intersite species similarities were recorded between Yamunanagar and Panipat, followed by Wazirabad and Hamirpur, and Yamunanagar and Allahabad. The middle stretch of the river was dominated by small-bodied erytopic, indigenous, and exotic fish species with periodic and opportunistic life history strategies, and had reduced abundances of the large–bodied, prized Indian Major Carps. A trophic shift towards dominance of carnivore catfish species was evident. Multivariate analysis indicated 83.50% of the total variability in species composition in the river could be attributed to gradients of the environmental variables: dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids, stream velocity, and water temperature. Insufficient flows in the middle stretch of the river have altered fish habitat availability, resulting in changes in fish composition and assemblage patterns. The study will aid efforts to conserve the aquatic communities and their habitats in the river.

description: Objective: The shape of the current physical and computational surrogates of children used for restraint system assessments is based largely on standard anthropometric dimensions. These scalar dimensions provide valuable information on the overall size of the individual but do not provide good guidance on shape or posture. This study introduced the development of a parametric model that statistically predicts individual child body shapes in seated postures with a few given parameters. Methods: Surface geometry data from a laser scanner of children ages 3 to 11 (n = 135) were standardized by a 2-level fitting method using intermediate templates. The standardized data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) to efficiently describe the body shape variance. Parameters such as stature, body mass index, erect sitting height, and 2 posture variables related to torso recline and lumbar spine flexion were associated with the PCA model using regression. Results: When the original scan data were compared with the predictions of the model using the given subject dimensions, the average root mean square error for the torso was 9.5 mm, and the 95th percentile error was 17.35 mm. Conclusions: For the first time, a statistical model of child body shapes in seated postures is available. This parametric model allows the generation of an infinite number of virtual children spanning a wide range of body sizes and postures. The results have broad applicability in product design and safety analysis. Future work is needed to improve the representation of hands and feet and to extend the age range of the model.

description: Despite the high rate of egg mortality due to predation, few teleost fishes utilize external casings for protecting their eggs. The gelatinous egg matrix, or skein, produced by Yellow Perch Perca flavescens may provide a variety of benefits including deterring egg predators. This study explored the chemical components of the skein in addition to testing the preferences of two common egg predators, Round Goby Neogobius melanostomus and calico crayfish Orconectes immunis, when presented with three potential egg prey: Yellow Perch eggs in the skein, Yellow Perch eggs without the skein, and Fathead Minnow Pimephales promelas eggs. Preliminary analyses showed that the skein may contain a variety of potentially noxious components, including piperideine and the galactose-specific lectin, nattectin. In preference trials, Yellow Perch eggs in the skein were often approached first; however, both predators preferred Yellow Perch eggs with the skein removed and Fathead Minnow eggs rather than Yellow Perch eggs in the skein. Further experiments demonstrated that crayfish spent less time attempting to consume Yellow Perch eggs in the skein after prior exposure to the skein (day 1: 11.0 min ± 1.3 [mean ± SE]; day 2: 7.6 min ± 1.4), reducing time spent damaging the eggs. These results indicate that the skein may help protect eggs from predation. Received July 18, 2016; accepted October 10, 2016 Published online December 12, 2016

description: Amongst the return to ruin ravaging Baghdad, its poets lamented the fall from utopian bliss to dystopia with their words representing a pained spatiality and reckoning with character-altering devastation. There is a love of place as it suffers human vices, one of the complexities of representation. Within these poeticisms are numerous historiographies. Earlier poets such as Muti ibn Iyas and Abd Allah ibn Al-Mubarak capture the urban majesty igniting the imagination. Yet it inspired contradictory emotions. Time ensured that, as destruction defined space, the poet crossed the threshold in the subject-object interaction. Those like Sa'di Shirazi, elegizing the ghostly capital after the 1258 Mongol invasion, was broken himself with his rhythmic cadence reflecting a hemorrhaging mentality. When violence invades the poetics of creation, some like Abdulghani Al-Jamil strip language of an embellished exterior. It is a desire to resist. Woundedness speaks back to the city uncovering a spatiality of loss.

description: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are effective in reducing the risk of heart failure (HF) in type 2 diabetic patients. We systematically examined the association between cardiac adverse events (CAEs) and SGLT2i. We analyzed CAEs in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System between January 2013 and March 2021. The CAEs were classified into four major groups according to their preferred terms. Disproportionality and Bayesian analyses were performed to detect signals using reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), information component (IC), and empirical Bayesian geometric mean (EBGM). Case seriousness was also described. There were 2,330 CAEs associated with SGLT2i, and 81 were used for HFs. The SGLT2i were not associated with over-reporting frequencies of CAE based on ROR (ROR = 0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.93, 1.01), PRR (PRR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94, 1.01), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (IC = −0.04, IC025: N.A.), and multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (EBGM = 0.97, EBGM05:0.94), unless further restricted to myocardial infarction (ROR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.89, 2.17). Additionally, SGLT2i-associated CAEs are associated with 11.33% fatality and 51.25% hospitalization. SGLT2i present a favorable cardiac safety profile; however, concerns should be raised regarding their potential association with specific events.

description: Background: The Western Ghats of India contain the westernmost dipterocarp forests of Asia. However, only a few dipterocarp tree species actually coexist in the forest canopy among which Vateria indica and Dipterocarpus indicus are the most common. The mechanisms contributing to the coexistence of these phylogenetically closely related species have not been identified. Aims: We investigated the time-related growth trajectories in diameter, height and crown size of these two species in the Uppangala Permanent Sample Plot to determine if trade-offs in their three-dimensional developmental strategies could contribute to their long-term coexistence. Methods: From annual diameter growth data of 692 trees >9.55 cm in diameter at breast height over a 21-year period, we developed time-related diameter growth models for the two species, accounting for local density-dependent competition effects and topography. Combining the diameter growth models with static stem and crown allometries, we projected time-related tree growth trajectories in height and crown size. Results: While both species can reach similar dimensions, V. indica grows much faster, or at least as fast as D. indicus in diameter, height and crown size in all the observed situations. Both species respond similarly to topography, but V. indica appears to be more responsive to local density-dependent competition than D. indicus. Finally, V. indica shows higher mortality and recruitment rates and a greater basal area increase than D. indicus. Conclusions: These results refute our hypothesis that D. indicus coexists with the outperformer V. indica by a growth strategy allowing selected individuals in favourable conditions to reach the canopy more quickly than their competitors. The current coexistence of the two dipterocarp species at Uppangala appears not to be at a static equilibrium; V. indica probably being in a phase of canopy stand colonisation.

description: The marine diplomacy of Tripoli in the Qaramanlı era was deeply shaped by the Ottoman Foreign Jurisdiction. Yet, especially Yusuf Paşa with his tadbir (Ar.) [governing through taking measures] application carried the implication of this jurisdiction to a global tributary system that all European states as well as USA obeyed. The ignorance of the historians from Europe and USA about the Ottoman Foreign jurisdiction led them to believe that the tributary system of Tripoli was “piracy”. A thorough examination shows that actually even some European and USA consuls in the 19th century were aware of the fact that the tributary system had nothing to do with piracy, but they named this system in this way to express their dissatisfaction. In reality, Yusuf Paşa of Tripoli was successfully applying Ottoman Foreign jurisdiction in form of tributary system. Furthermore, between 1790s and 1835, he was so successful on this application that this system became a global politic in the Mediterranean without using any brute force.

description: Background: Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations have been reported with trees of the plant family Dipterocarpaceae. We hypothesised that a dipterocarp forest fragment, with more host species, would yield a higher diversity of associated EcM fungal species than that of a Dipterocarpus alatus monoculture plantation. Aims: To examine the above- and below-ground EcM community structure of a dry dipterocarp forest fragment and a D. alatus plantation in Thailand. Methods: Sporocarps were collected and identified, and EcM root tips were collected in the dry and wet seasons and identified by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and internal transcribed spacer sequencing. Results: Higher EcM fungal diversity was observed in the dry dipterocarp forest fragment than in the D. alatus plantation, with a larger number of species found in the wet seasons than the dry seasons. Sporocarp species richness was greater than root-tip EcM richness. Different dominant EcM taxa were observed in the above- and below-ground communities. Conclusions: Our results suggest that host tree diversity may explain the greater EcM fungal diversity in the dry dipterocarp forest fragment than the D. alatus monoculture plantation. Seasonal dynamics also influences the composition of the EcM communities, with different dominant taxa and relative abundance in the dry and wet seasons. Further research would be of great help in providing useful information for management of dipterocarp forests as well as restoration of disturbed landscapes.

description: A green approach for one-pot three-component synthesis of N-substituted decahydroacridine-1,8-diones is offered for the first time using baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a biocatalyst under ultrasonication. Due to growing safety and environmental concerns, enzymatic methods were constantly investigated as an attractive alternative to toxic and nonspecific chemical approaches. This method is relatively simple, efficient, inexpensive, and environment-friendly. The catalyst was recovered and reused and also the recyclability of baker’s yeast resulted in excellent yields of products without loss of any catalytic activity.

description: To prove non-inferiority of preservative-free (PF) latanoprost versus benzalkonium chloride (BAK) containing latanoprost in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) patients. This phase III, randomized, investigator-masked trial primarily aimed to demonstrate non-inferiority of YSLT PF latanoprost 50 μg/ml (Yonsung GmbH) to latanoprost (Xalatan®) 50 μg/ml (Pfizer) in reducing IOP from Baseline to Week 12. Secondary aims included conjunctival hyperemia evaluation and difference in ocular comfort levels. Total 130 patients with POAG or OHT were enrolled and randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive YSLT or latanoprost, instilling eye drops daily for 12 weeks. At Week 12, mean diurnal IOP reduction was −7.67 ± 2.104 mmHg for YSLT PF latanoprost and −7.77 ± 2.500 for latanoprost. The 97.5% confidence interval of between-treatment group difference in IOP reduction from Baseline to Week 12 was [−0.846, +∞), not crossing the non-inferiority margin of −1.5 mmHg. A low incidence of mild topical treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was observed in both groups, while no serious TEAEs were reported. YSLT eye drops demonstrated non-inferiority to latanoprost in reducing IOP. Both products were well tolerated without serious TEAEs reported.

Literary Border Studies: New Directions

description: This is our panel description for the 2025 MLA convention, exploring New Directions in Literary Border Studies. The document contains both the theoretical core of the panel and the individual abstracts of each of the participants. Together, we hope to explore several types of borders in our discipline: institutional borders between national literature departments and the civilizational borders of their disciplinary histories; generic borders between the literary and non-literary; linguistic borders between and within texts; geopolitical and bureaucratic borders that structure the lives of displaced people, whose stories account for an important share of literary studies today. How do these borders function and interact? What new methods can our discipline develop to render them visible, study them, and cross them?
