The wild ancestor of cultivated Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) has been tentatively identified in the past in S. tetrandra Steven ex M.Bieb. or S. turkestanica on morphological grounds (Andersen & Torp, 2011). However, molecular investigations established beyond any doubt that the central Asiatic S. turkestanica is the only wild relative of S. oleracea (e.g., Ku et al., 2017; Gyawali et al., 2021), toward which maternal introgression has been demonstrated (She et al., 2022).

description: Purpose: In the second of a two-part survey series, this cross-sectional survey study explored professionals’ perceptions of tele-intervention (TI) services for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Using Likert rating scales and open-ended questions, the survey queried professional’s confidence in providing TI services, including their views and recommendations. Data were collected March-May 2020, not realizing the survey release would coincide with the Covid-19 pandemic and the influx of unexpected virtual services. For this reason, data were stratified between those who had been providing TI services for more than versus less than three months. Responses for in-person providers were also evaluated for additional context. Methods: Responses from 123 participants who provided TI and 21 participants who provided in-person services (n=144) were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Cronbach’s alpha showed high internal consistency for all Likert scales; items of each subscale were sum-scored to examine relationships across queried areas of service delivery. Results: Provider perceptions of TI services were largely favorable. However, providers with more than three months’ experience were significantly more confident in coaching and supporting parents through TI, including more overall favorable views of a TI delivery than providers with less than three months of TI experience. There were no differences in provider confidence in coaching and supporting parents between providers with more than three months’ TI experience using TI delivery and in-person providers using in-person delivery. Conclusions: Experienced providers reported confidence in service delivery and positive views of the TI model. Programs seeking to implement virtual services should consider TI training, with a commitment to TI longevity to improve provider efficacy and confidence in TI services.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify current pediatric tele-audiology hearing technology platforms for young children with hearing loss and their families. Method: An exploratory, descriptive design was used to evaluate features of available pediatric tele-audiology platforms for parents and audiologists to implement for young children. The study explored internet resources including hearing industry websites, for information related to specific eHealth platform features designed to support pediatric hearing devices currently available to audiologists and families. Results: Of the websites reviewed, only four major technology companies were found to have pediatric tele-audiology ready platforms designed to support young children and their families. Conclusions: Tele-audiology technology platforms for young children are available but limited in comparison to what may be available to older children and adults. A need for more consistency across platforms was identified based on the inconsistent features observed in the available platforms that could be hinderance to pediatric recipients of tele-audiology services. Future research directions to move eHealth applications forward and determine efficacy are discussed.

description: Ongoing assessment and progress monitoring is considered best practice to serve children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) yet logistics related to provider shortages, distances between families, and illness make regular assessment difficult if not impossible. In the last ten years, telepractice has become a more commonly used service delivery model for serving children who are DHH and their families, however, many providers lack the training needed to adequately assess this population (Behl & Kahn, 2015). With explicit planning of the assessments and tools needed on both sides of the camera, providers can create a shared framework to collect the information needed to create a family-centered, comprehensive assessment plan that empowers families to engage collaborative decision-making needed to optimize the outcomes of their child. This paper outlines a tutorial of provider considerations to incorporate family-centered practices as a central aspect of assessment via telepractice and provides an example of how assessments can be administered with the use of technology.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape the provision of family-centered early intervention services for children who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing and their families. In programs, schools, and centers, direct in-person contact with families have been significantly curtailed as a means to limit the exposure to and spead of the virus. Emergency remote learning has lead to an increase in telepractice, also referred to as teleintervention, as the designated model of service provision. Most early interventionists, speech-language pathologists, and teachers of the Deaf were not sufficiently trained to suddenly implement emergency remote teaching or telepractice services, but service providers had no option but to forge ahead, often with limited or no prior knowledge and experience with the provision of services using only telecommunications technology. Fortunately, however, some university training programs have integrated telepractice into their curricula and practica experiences for many years, and three of those programs are profiled here.

Year: 2022

description: For well over a decade, family-centered early intervention services have been delivered through models of teleintervention (TI) to children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) and their families. Ongoing outcome data continue to demonstrate the viability, effectiveness, and positive impacts these services provide to both the service providers and the families served. However, to establish a successful TI program, careful planning is required, and barriers and potential roadblocks must be reduced or eliminated. When these challenges are adequately addressed, TI programs are more likely to achieve its primary goal of delivering appropriate family-centered early intervention.

Evaluation of Different Manual Placement Strategies to Ensure Uniformity of the V-FPGA
Creators: name: Pfau, Johannes
name: Zaki, Peter Wagih

Publisher: name: Springer Verlag
Year: 2021

description: Virtual FPGA (V-FPGA) architectures are useful as both early prototyping testbeds for custom FPGA architectures, as well as to enable advanced features which may not be available on a given host FPGA. V-FPGAs use standard FPGA synthesis and placement tools, and as a result the maximum application frequency is largely determined by the synthesis of the V-FPGA onto the host FPGA. Minimal net delays in the virtual layer are crucial for applications, but due to increased routing congestion, these delays are often significantly worse for larger than for smaller designs. To counter this effect, we investigate three different placement strategies with varying amounts of manual intervention. Taking the regularity of the V-FPGA architecture into account, a regular placement of tiles can lead to an 37% improvement in the achievable clock frequency. In addition, uniformity of the measured net delays is increased by 39%, which makes implementation of user applications more reproducible. As a trade-off, these manual placement strategies increase area usage of the virtual layer up to 16%.
Tele-Intervention Resources

description: The restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many early intervention (EI) providers and families to adopt an emergency virtual service delivery model. The exigent nature of the pandemic necessitated the rapid transition to virtual early intervention, often without the benefit of training and guidance for both providers and caregivers regarding the use of virtual platforms, objectives, procedures, and the overall dynamics of the virtual session. As restrictions begin to ease and in-person home visits once again become possible, many providers and caregivers may be wondering how tele-intervention (TI) services might fit in ongoing early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. It will be necessary to review desired family outcomes and the components of high-quality TI services as caregivers and providers determine their intervention plan forward together. The purpose of this article is to highlight resources pertaining to the provision of high-quality TI services in keeping with recommended family-centered early intervention practices.

description: A new thiourea–quinoline-based chemosensor ATU (1-(4-acetylphenyl)-3-(quinolin-8-yl)thiourea) was developed for the determination of In3+ using the fluorescence turn-on response. ATU was able to determine In3+ in the presence of Ga3+ and Al3+. The results of a Job’s plot and electrospray ionization–mass spectrometry (ESI–MS) showed that ATU bound to In3+ in a 1:2 stoichiometry ratio. The detection limit for In3+ was 0.64 μM and the binding constant (K) was 5.0 × 1010 M−2, which is the highest value for In3+ chemosensors reported to date. Furthermore, ATU was employed in fluorescent test kits to detect In3+. Moreover, the mechanism of ATU for In3+ determination was evaluated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titrations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

description: Multi/hyperspectral imaging is an important technique to obtain color data and spectral monitoring. It is a precise remote sensing technique that includes two or more bands in the visible and invisible spectrum. This study demonstrates the design and construction of a low-cost, multispectral imaging system using a single linear array sensor and a varifocal lens coupled to individual spectral band-pass filters. The system allows the automated data acquisition of raw spectral data for seven spectral bands, each with different wavelengths. The raw data are visualized in real-time to generate images of spectral bands to obtain the desired spectral information on the computer graphical screen. Sensor arrays with spectral responsivity between 0.3 and 1.05 μm and motorized filter disks with a linear guide are used for acquiring data from specific wavelengths. Axis movement of the imaging device is achieved by a linear guide for spatial monitoring. Seven different bands are scanned and transferred to the computer via motorized band-pass filter sets with the imaging device. The multispectral imaging device has high accuracy with a 0.9936 linear correlation coefficient (r2) and averaged noise of the total system is below 1% (0.7%). Although the present configuration uses seven spectral bands including visible and narrow bandpass optical filters to obtain multispectral information from an object, the system is designed to have a replaceable and selectable motorized rotating filter, easily remounted, and adjusted up to forty spectral bands with 20 nm full width at half maximum (FWHM).

description: Background Prevalence of neural tube defects (NTD) has not decreased in Germany despite longstanding recommendations for folic acid supplementation. To examine the prevalence of periconceptional folic acid supplement use and associated factors among German women of reproductive age. Methods Cross-sectional survey was conducted in hospital-based maternity units in rural Germany. A sample of 1,004 women of reproductive age, either pregnant or in their early postpartum period, took interviewer/self-administered paper-based survey questionnaire. Prevalence of periconceptional folic acid supplement use was assessed, where periconception was defined as 1 month prior to and 3 months post-conception. Prevalence odds ratios (POR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using crude and adjusted logistic regression analysis were estimated to examine determinants of folic acid supplement use. Results Prevalence of folic acid supplement use was 41.5% (95% CI: 37.7%, 45.7%). Multivariable analysis showed lack of educational qualifications, unplanned pregnancy, later diagnosis of pregnancy, increased parity, and not having an awareness of importance of folic acid for optimal pregnancy outcomes were associated with not taking periconceptional folic acid supplements. Books, doctors, friends, media, were sources of information. Conclusion Periconceptional folic acid is sub-optimal in rural Germany and thus failing to prevent NTDs. Targeted promotion of folic acid supplement use should be conducted periodically by gynecologists and primary care physicians during annual medical screenings. Mandatory folic acid fortification of staple foods is a complementary approach to overcome limitations of individual behaviors of folic acid supplement intake, and should be considered as it has been proven effective in multiple countries.

description: We review the interactions and dynamics of topological defects in liquid crystals (LCs) in quasi-two-dimensional (2D) geometries. Such spatial restrictions can be realized in thin freely suspended smectic C films, in thin sandwich cells filled with nematic LCs, and under specific boundary conditions in LC shells embedded in aqueous solutions. Random defect patterns can be created by thermal quenching of the samples from lower ordered into higher ordered phases. On the other hand, well-defined isolated defect configurations for the study of elementary interaction steps can be prepared by using simple mechanical techniques. Observation by polarizing microscopy is straightforward. Spatial dimensions of the experimental systems as well as time scales are convenient for observation. The continuum theory of LCs is well-developed so that, in addition to the experimental characterization, an analytical or numerical description is feasible. From interactions and dynamic features observed in these LC systems, general conclusions on defect dynamics can be drawn.
Uncovering the cellular mechanism of Schizophrenia associated gene SETD1A loss-of- function in a human neural model
Creators: name: Su, Xiao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic and severe mental disorder with an estimated heritability of 80% and 1% prevalence worldwide. Over the past decade, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and exome sequencing have identified over 200 loci and over 120 risk genes associated with SCZ. However, the mechanisms by which genetic factors contribute to SCZ pathophysiology remain largely unclear, hindering the development of mechanism-based therapeutics. Rare loss-of-function (LoF) mutations in SETD1A (SET Domain Containing 1A) are strongly associated with mental disorders including SCZ and other severe neurodevelopmental disorders. SETD1A encodes a component of histone methyltransferase complex producing mono-, di, and trimethylated histone H3 at Lysine 4 (H3K4). H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and H3K4me1 are epigenomic marks of active gene transcriptional promoters and enhancers, respectively. Interestingly, histone methylation has also been suggested as one of the most enriched gene pathways in common variant-based genome-wide associations studies (GWAS) of major psychiatric disorders. Interestingly, most of the identified rare mutations of SETD1A appeared before the region encoding evolutionarily conserved SET domain (exon 17-19), critical for its histone methyltransferase activity. Therefore, LoF in SETD1A may lead to an altered epigenetic landscape that may lead to SCZ. To understand the impact of SETD1A rare mutations on the human neural model, we have generated isogenic human iPSC lines carrying heterozygous LoF mutations (four different targeting sites: exon 2 c.132_133insTGGA, exon 4 deletion, intron 15 c.4582-2delAG mutation and exon 16 c.4596_4597insG on different genetic backgrounds) of SETD1A by utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. To reveal the mutation-specific impact of SETD1A on human neural model, we generated human-induced excitatory neurons by ectopic expression of Ngn2 for all four mutations. By systematically characterizing SETD1A mutation impact on iPSC-derived human excitatory neural model, our results suggested that SETD1A LoF mutations c.4582-2delAG and c.4596_4597insG lead to altered dendrite complexity, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity by dysregulating gene expressions involved in synaptic function. However, SETD1A exon 2 c.132_133insTGGA and exon 4 c.171_186del showed different impact from previous two LoF mutations, which suggests SETD1A LoF may have mutation-specific impact on human induced excitatory neural model. In addition, we also characterized cell-type specific impact of SETD1A by comparing the transcriptional profiling changes of same mutation in human induced excitatory neurons and dopaminergic neurons. Overall, our results provided information about the mutation-specific and cell type-specific impact of SETD1A LoF mutations in a human neuronal system and contributed to the understanding of the pathophysiology of SCZ and development of mechanism-based therapies.

description: Suborder PINNIPEDIA Illiger, 1811
Referred specimen. NMV P254178, an isolated phalanx collected by B.S.J. Francischelli in 2019 (Figure 2).
Diagnosis. An intermediate or proximal phalanx from the manus (from either digits II, III, or IV) of a pinniped, due to the straight medial and lateral surfaces, a distal end narrower than a proximal end, and a slightly concave ventral surface.
Description. The proximal end is rounded, and is missing the articular surface (Figure 2 G-J). The distal surface is trochleated (Figure 2 G-H), and larger medio-laterally than dorso-ventrally. The shaft is sub-circular in cross section. Due to the lack of diagnostic features beyond Pinnipedia, we are unable to make meaningful comparisons to other species.

description: Background Actinic keratosis (AK) is an early in situ epidermal cancer which can progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Imiquimod 5% cream (IMIQ) and diclofenac 3% gel (DIC) are frequently used to treat AK; however, their long-term effects following repeated treatment cycles have never been compared. Objective To compare IMIQ and DIC in the treatment of AK with respect to the risk of change to grade III AK or invasive SCC, after 3 years. Methods Data were pooled from two randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicentre, multinational, phase IV studies (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT00777127/NCT01453179), with two parallel groups. Studies were conducted between 2008 and 2015 and were almost identical in design. Patients eligible for inclusion were immunocompetent adults with 5–10 visible AK lesions on the face/scalp and grade I/II AK. The primary endpoint was inhibition of histological change to grade III AK or invasive SCC in the study treatment area, observed until month 36. Patients applied either IMIQ or DIC for a maximum of six treatment cycles. Results In total, 479 patients (IMIQ 242; DIC 237) were included in the full analysis set. Histological change to grade III AK or invasive SCC was observed until month 36 in 13 (5.4%) patients treated with IMIQ, compared with 26 (11.0%) patients treated with DIC (absolute risk difference –5.6% [95% confidence interval –10.7%, –0.7%]). Time to histological change was greater in the IMIQ group than the DIC group (P = 0.0266). Frequency of progression to invasive SCC was lower with IMIQ than with DIC at all time points. Initial clearance rate was higher in the IMIQ group compared with the DIC group, while recurrence rate was lower. Both treatments were well tolerated. Conclusions Over 3 years, IMIQ was superior to DIC in clearing AK lesions and preventing histological change to grade III AK or invasive SCC and recurrence.

description: This paper discusses how the assembly of pro-caspase-1 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain (ASC) in macromolecular protein complexes, inflammasomes, activates caspase-1. The present study investigates the molecular mechanisms of inflammasome activation in HepG2 cells and examines how short exposures to ethanol (EtOH) aﬀect inflammasome activation. HepG2 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), ATP or nigericin (NIG) in a two-step model. After LPS priming, ATP or NIG were added. As inhibitors, sodium orthovanadate (general inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases), AC-YVAD-CMK (caspase-1 inhibitor) or AZ10606120 (purinergic receptor P2X7R inhibitor) were applied after LPS priming. To monitor the inflammasome activation, the caspase-1 activity, ASC speck formation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell death were analyzed. To elucidate the mechanistical approach of EtOH to the inflammasome assembly, the cells were treated with EtOH either under simultaneous LPS administration or concurrently with ATP or NIG application. The co-stimulation with LPS and ATP induced a significant ASC speck formation, caspase-1 activation, cell death and ROS generation. The inhibition of the ATP-dependent purinoreceptor P2X7 decreased the caspase-1 activation, whereas sodium orthovanadate significantly induced caspase-1. Additional treatment with EtOH reversed the LPS and ATP-induced caspase-1 activation, ASC speck formation and ROS production. The ASC speck formation and caspase-1 induction require a two-step signaling with LPS and ATP in HepG2 cells. Inflammasome activation may depend on P2X7. The molecular pathway of an acute eﬀect of EtOH on inflammasomes may involve a reduction in ROS generation, which in turn may increase the activity of tyrosine phosphatases.

description: The characteristics of the fluid–structure interaction on the flexible blades of a horizontal-axis water turbine are studied; this bioinspired technology features mechanical simplicity, performance and lifetime improvement, and low fish impact risk, all characteristics of a truly sustainable renewable energy exploitation. A surface-tracking method synchronized with force measurements was applied on a surrogate model of single-bladed, vertical-axis water turbine in a water channel. This allows for the characterization of the structural deformations and their link to the hydrodynamic forces, over a large range of turbine designs and operating points. It is shown that the phase angles of the maxima in blade deformation coincide with those of the load maxima on a rigid blade in identical flow conditions. The influence of the turbine’s tip/speed ratio on the blade deformation and blade load is investigated. With the chosen blade design, hydrofoil deformation is found to be maximum in the operating points where the performance improvement is maximized ( k o = 0.3 ). With lower values of reduced frequency (corresponding to lower rotation speed), fluid-induced forces dominate the fluid–structure interaction. Conversely, at higher frequencies, structural inertia dominates the interaction, and blade deformation is again reduced. Results suggest that the optimal blade rigidity may depend on the operating point; nevertheless the potential of the flexible-blade design is demonstrated through clear linking of fluid-induced forces and blade deformation in the complex flow conditions of the Darrieus water turbine.

Practical End-to-End Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems

description: Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) combining discrete control and continuous physical dynamics are pervasive in modern society: examples include driver assistance in cars, industrial robotics, airborne collision avoidance systems, and the electrical grid. Many of these systems are safety-critical because they operate in close proximity to humans. Formal safety verification of these systems is important because it is a key tool for attaining the strongest possible safety guarantees. Hybrid systems models, in particular, are a successful formalism for CPS. Hybrid systems theorem-proving in differential dynamic logic (dL) and its generalization differential game logic (dGL) are notable for strong logical foundations and successful application in case studies using the theorem provers KeYmaera and KeYmaera X. However, safety verification of models does not imply safety of implementations, which might not be faithful to the model. Moreover, a machine-checked proof is only as trustworthy as the software which checks it, thus correctness of proof-checkers is crucial. This thesis addresses implementation and soundness gaps by using constructive logic and programming languages as the foundation of an end-to-end verification toolchain. That is: Constructive Differential Game Logic (CdGL) enables practical, end-to-end verification of cyber-physical systems. CdGL enables synthesis of implementations with bulletproof theoretical foundations. Logic is the keystone of the end-to-end connection from high-level proofs and foundations to implementations. Our pursuit of practical proving includes innovations in the proof language itself. CdGL proofs, in contrast to dGL, are suitable for synthesizing controllers which determine safe actions for a CPS and monitors which check the compliance of the external environment with model assumptions. The synthesized code is automatically proven correct down to machine-code level. The foundations are also strengthened by our formalization of classical dL’s soundness in Isabelle/HOL, allowing hybrid systems proofs in dL to be exported and rechecked. We evaluate the toolchain on a 2D robot which follows arcs. The model and implementation cross-validate each other: monitors catch incorrect code and assumptions, while testing with monitors enabled allows us to assess the realism of the model.
