description: Heavy metals in wastewater can cause acute and chronic toxicity which leads to learning disabilities, cancer, and even death. In the present work, Zn-based MOF (MOF-5) was prepared, and it is characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses. MOF-5-incorporated polymeric membranes (polyethersulfone [PES], cellulose acetate [CA], and polyvinylidene fluoride [PVDF]) prepared by phase inversion method. The morphology, hydrophilicity, porosity, permeation performance, antifouling properties, and the rejection of Cu (II) and Co (II) metal ions of the membranes were significantly improved with the addition of MOF-5. Higher rejection efficiency for Co (II) in PES/MOF-5 and CA/MOF-5 was found to be 74.40% and 77%, respectively.

description: A tight-binding approach based on the Chebyshev-Bogoliubov-de Gennes method is used to describe disordered single-layer graphene Josephson junctions. Scattering by vacancies, ripples or charged impurities is included. We compute the Josephson current and investigate the nature of multiple Andreev reflections, which induce bound states appearing as peaks in the density of states for energies below the superconducting gap. In the presence of single atom vacancies, we observe a strong suppression of the supercurrent that is a consequence of strong inter-valley scattering. Although lattice deformations should not induce inter-valley scattering, we find that the supercurrent is still suppressed, which is due to the presence of pseudo-magnetic barriers. For charged impurities, we consider two cases depending on whether the average doping is zero, i.e. existence of electron-hole puddles, or finite. In both cases, short range impurities strongly affect the supercurrent, similar to the vacancies scenario.

description: The ubiquity of Hg2+ in the environment pollutants is undeniable. As the projected future moves toward industrialization, there is the attempt to develop the simple tool for the detection of the pollutants. The present study deals development of Hg2+ ion sensor based on attached Rhodamine B on the Polysulfone (PS) and sulfonated Polysulfone (SPS) membranes. The rhodamine attachment depends on the physical (like pores) and chemical nature (i.e. functionalities) of polymers. The affinity of Hg2+ ion to rhodamine B and color change make membrane strip feasible to detect Hg2+ ion in the sample system. The results are promising and color differences are visible and able to differentiate at higher concentrations.

description: Inadequate feeding and care may contribute to high rates of stunting and underweight among children in rural families in India. This cluster-randomized trial tested the hypothesis that teaching caregivers appropriate complementary feeding, and strategies for how to feed and play responsively through home-visits would increase children’s dietary intake, growth, and development compared to home-visit-complementary feeding education alone or routine care. Sixty villages in Andhra Pradesh were randomized into 3 groups1 of 20 villages with 200 mother-infant dyads in each group. The Control Group (CG), received routine Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS); the Complementary Feeding Group (CFG), received the ICDS plus the World Health Organization recommendations on breastfeeding and complementary foods; and the Responsive Complementary Feeding & Play Group (RCF&PG) received the same intervention as the CFG plus skills for responsive feeding and psychosocial stimulation. Both intervention groups received bi-weekly visits by trained village women. The groups did not differ at 3 months on socioeconomic status, maternal and child nutritional indices and maternal depression. After controlling for potential confounding factors using the mixed models approach, the twelve-month intervention to the CFG and RCF&PG significantly (p<0.05) increased median intakes of energy, protein, Vitamin-A, calcium (CFG), iron and zinc, reduced stunting (0.19, CI: 0.0–0.4) in the CFG (but not RCF&PG) and increased (p<0.01) Bayley Mental Development scores(Mean=3.1, CI: 0.8–5.3) in the RCF&PG (but not CFG) compared to CG. Community-based educational interventions can improve dietary intake, length (CFG), and mental development (RCF&PG) for children under two years in food-secure rural Indian families.

description: Most massive galaxies are thought to have formed their dense stellar cores at early cosmic epochs. However, cores in their formation phase have not yet been observed. Previous studies have found galaxies with high gas velocity dispersions or small apparent sizes but so far no objects have been identified with both the stellar structure and the gas dynamics of a forming core. Here we present a candidate core in formation 11 billion years ago, at z=2.3. GOODS-N-774 has a stellar mass of 1.0x10^11 Msun, a half-light radius of 1.0 kpc, and a star formation rate of 90[+45-20]Msun/yr. The star forming gas has a velocity dispersion 317+-30 km/s, amongst the highest ever measured. It is similar to the stellar velocity dispersions of the putative descendants of GOODS-N-774, compact quiescent galaxies at z~2 and giant elliptical galaxies in the nearby Universe. Galaxies such as GOODS-N-774 appear to be rare; however, from the star formation rate and size of the galaxy we infer that many star forming cores may be heavily obscured, and could be missed in optical and near-infrared surveys.

description: This manuscript deals with graphene oxide (GO) and GO–metal oxide composite for heavy metal adsorption. Metal oxide–GO composites e.g. Fe3O4–GO and Mn3O4–GO have been prepared and explored for heavy metals e.g. lead, chromium, nickel, cadmium etc. adsorption from the water. Metal oxide–GO composites have been prepared through respective techniques. The various characterizations of the nanocomposites viz. structural and thermal have been analysed by transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analyser etc. Different concentration of heavy metal has been taken to examine the efficiency of composites towards adsorption. Furthermore, effect of time on adsorption has also been evaluated. Metal oxide–GO composites illustrate better results as compared to GO showing the usability of composites for heavy metal adsorption for the production of clean water.

description: We evidence a Kovacs-like memory effect in a uniformly driven granular gas. A system of inelastic hard particles, in the low density limit, can reach a non-equilibrium steady state when properly forced. By following a certain protocol for the drive time dependence, we prepare the gas in a state where the granular temperature coincides with its long time value. The temperature subsequently does not remain constant, but exhibits a non-monotonic evolution with either a maximum or a minimum, depending on the dissipation, and on the protocol. We present a theoretical analysis of this memory effect, at Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck equation level, and show that when dissipation exceeds a threshold, the response can be coined anomalous. We find an excellent agreement between the analytical predictions and direct Monte Carlo simulations.

description: There are potential health risks associated with the use of early weaning to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV in resource-poor settings. Our objective was to examine growth and nutrient inadequacies among a cohort of children weaned early. Children participating in the Breastfeeding Antiretrovirals and Nutrition (BAN) Study in Lilongwe, Malawi, had HIV-infected mothers, were weaned at 6 months and fed LNS until 12 months. 40 HIV-negative, BAN-exited children were compared to 40 HIV-negative, community children matched on age, gender and local health clinic. Nutrient intake was calculated from 24-hour dietary recalls collected from BAN-exited children. Anthropometric measurements were collected from BAN-exited and matched community children at 15-16 months, and 2 months later. Longitudinal random effects sex-stratified models were used to evaluate anthropometric differences between the 2 groups. BAN-exited children consumed adequate energy, protein, and carbohydrates but inadequate amounts of fat. The prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intakes were: 46% for vitamin A; 20% for vitamin B6; 69% for folate; 13% for vitamin C; 19% for iron; 23% for zinc. Regarding growth, BAN-exited girls gained weight at a significantly lower rate (0.02g/kg/day [95%CI: 0.01, 0.03] than their matched comparison (0.05g/kg/day [95%CI: 0.03, 0.07]); BAN girls grew significantly slower (0.73cm/month [95%CI: 0.40,1.06]) than their matched comparison (1.55cm/month [95%CI: 0.98, 2.12]). Among this sample of BAN-exited children, early weaning was associated with dietary deficiencies and girls experienced reduced growth velocity. In resource-poor settings, HIV prevention programs must ensure that breastfeeding stop only once a nutritionally adequate and safe diet without breastmilk can be provided.

Trade-offs underlying maternal breastfeeding decisions: A conceptual model

name: Tully, Kristin P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: This paper presents a new conceptual model that generates predictions about breastfeeding decisions and identifies interactions that affect outcomes. We offer a contextual approach to infant feeding that models multi-directional influences by expanding on the evolutionary parent–offspring conflict and situation-specific breastfeeding theories. The main hypothesis generated from our framework suggests that simultaneously addressing breastfeeding costs and benefits, in relation to how they are interpreted by mothers, will be most effective. Our approach focuses on contributors to the attitudes and commitment underlying breastfeeding outcomes, beginning in the prenatal period. We conclude that some maternal–offspring conflict is inherent with the dynamic infant feeding relationship. Guidance that anticipates and addresses family trade-offs over time can be incorporated into breastfeeding support for families.

description: Oscillations on free surface of superfluids at the inviscid limit are damped by quasiparticle scattering. We have studied this effect in both superfluids $^3$He and $^4$He deep below the respective critical temperatures. Surface oscillators offer several benefits over immersed mechanical oscillators traditionally used for similar purposes. Damping is modeled as specular scattering of ballistic quasiparticles from the moving free surface. The model is in reasonable agreement with our measurements for superfluid $^4$He but significant deviation is found for $^3$He.

description: One of the standard experimental probes of a viscoelastic material is to measure the response of a layer trapped between parallel surfaces, imposing either periodic stress or strain at one boundary and measuring the other. The relative phase between stress and strain yields solid-like and liquid-like properties, called the storage and loss moduli, respectively, which are then captured over a range of imposed frequencies. Rarely are the full spatial distributions of shear and normal stresses considered, primarily because they cannot be measured except at boundaries and the information was not deemed of particular interest in theoretical studies. Likewise, strain distributions throughout the layer were traditionally ignored except in a classical protocol of Ferry, Adler and Sawyer, based on snapshots of standing shear waves. Recent investigations of thin lung mucus layers exposed to oscillatory stress (breathing) and strain (coordinated cilia), however, suggest that the wide range of healthy conditions and environmental or disease assaults lead to conditions that are quite disparate from the “surface loading” and “gap loading” conditions that characterize classical rheometers. In this article, we extend our previous linear and nonlinear models of boundary stresses in controlled oscillatory strain to the entire layer. To illustrate non-intuitive heterogeneous responses, we characterize experimental conditions and material parameter ranges where the maximum stresses migrate into the channel interior.

description: We measure the stellar mass surface densities of early type galaxies by observing the micro-lensing of macro-lensed quasars caused by individual stars, including stellar remnants, brown dwarfs and red dwarfs too faint to produce photometric or spectroscopic signatures. Our method measures the graininess of the gravitational potential, in contrast to methods that decompose a smooth total gravitational potential into two smooth components, one stellar and one dark. We find the median likelihood value for the calibration factor F by which Salpeter stellar masses (with a low mass cutoff of 0.1 solar masses) must be multiplied is 1.23, with a one sigma confidence range of 0.77 < F < 2.10.

description: This paper investigates broader health outcomes to show how the criminal legal system, from prison incarceration to misdemeanors, contributes to health inequalities. Specifically, it seeks to understand how different forms of criminal legal contact, namely misdemeanors, jail incarceration, and prison incarceration, affect tuberculosis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea transmission rates. In order to investigate this, I used administrative data from Texas on county misdemeanors, jail, and prison incarceration and CDC data on county-level tuberculosis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea rates in the years 2012 and 2013. Results show a significant relationship between criminal legal contact and disease transmission. Findings also indicate mediating relationships with financial and demographic factors. Future research should investigate the ways in which systematic access or avoidance plays a role in the relationship between criminal legal contact, specifically low-level forms of it, and aggregate health outcomes. Overall, though, this paper demonstrates that we should be thinking about all forms of criminal legal contact as a factor when discussing public health matters, especially at a community level. Finally, when people have unequal exposure to institutions that fundamentally increase or decrease health, this has implications for policies that should protect the most vulnerable and resource-deprived. If systematic criminal legal contact is an indicator of healthcare vulnerability, policy changes should address the ways in which these institutions are tethered and functioning together within communities

description: The Princeton Consensus (Expert Panel) Conference is a multispecialty collaborative tradition dedicated to optimizing sexual function and preserving cardiovascular health. The third Princeton Consensus met November 8 to 10, 2010, and had 2 primary objectives. The first objective focused on the evaluation and management of cardiovascular risk in men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and no known cardiovascular disease (CVD), with particular emphasis on identification of men with ED who may require additional cardiologic work-up. The second objective focused on reevaluation and modification of previous recommendations for evaluation of cardiac risk associated with sexual activity in men with known CVD. The Panel's recommendations build on those developed during the first and second Princeton Consensus Conferences, first emphasizing the use of exercise ability and stress testing to ensure that each man's cardiovascular health is consistent with the physical demands of sexual activity before prescribing treatment for ED, and second highlighting the link between ED and CVD, which may be asymptomatic and may benefit from cardiovascular risk reduction.

We compare the results of the bootstrap, with 1020 statistically generated samples of the full database, with the standard covariance matrix method of error propagation. No significant differences in scattering observables and phase shifts are found. This suggests alternative strategies for propagating errors of nuclear forces in nuclear structure calculations.

description: OECD Guidance Document 75 (2007) outlines a test method to assess effects of plant protection products (PPPs) on honeybee brood under semi-field conditions. The assessment of bee brood development is conducted by mapping cells containing eggs and following their development until emergence. Evaluated parameters are: brood termination rate (BTR), brood compensation index (CI) and brood index (BI). Due to high variability of BTRs within treatments and high control mortality in a number of studies no definite conclusions regarding effects on brood were possible in the past and studies needed to be repeated (Pistorius et al. 2012). To address this variance, effort was taken by ICP-PR and AG Bienenschutz to improve the method by further analyzing current and historical data considering possible influencing factors (Pistorius et al. 2012, Becker et al. 2015) to give recommendations for future testing. The main findings were that reliability of the test method was questionable and that further method improvement and data evaluation was required. Therefore in this paper data evaluation of studies conducted between 2014 and 2017 is carried out and potential key parameters influencing outcome of studies are given.
To evaluate the improvement of the OECD 75 test method following the recommendations from 2015, a data analysis of 86 studies conducted in Germany, France, Spain and US was performed. The mean BTR value in the control group was 30.2% for studies conducted in Germany (mean of 61 studies), 19.4% in France (mean of 3 studies), 41.8% in Spain (mean of 5 studies) and 50.6% in US (mean of 17 studies). Results from Spain and US displayed higher BTRs in control compared to data from Germany. Evaluation of BTRs for Germany displayed only a slight improvement (historical value of 32.9%).
Analysis of data shows a limitation of options to improve the method as no main driver for high variability of BTRs in the control group was found. The cause for low precision may be multifactorial and driven by “caging effect”. There are alternative test methods available to observe bee brood development, without confinement in the tunnels, under field conditions (Oomen et al. (1992), OECD GD 75 field test design). Therefore it is necessary to investigate differences between these open field methods and semi-field testing with regard to routes of exposure, residues in brood and brood mortality, to choose the most reliable and adequate testing method assessing potential effects of PPP on honeybee brood development.

description: We present near-infrared spectroscopy of a sample of 22 Extreme Emission Line Galaxies at redshifts 1.3 < z < 2.3, confirming that these are low-mass (M* = 10^8 - 10^9 M_sun) galaxies undergoing intense starburst episodes (M*/SFR ~ 10-100 Myr). The sample is selected by [O III] or Hα emission line flux and equivalent width using near-infrared grism spectroscopy from the 3D-HST survey. High-resolution NIR spectroscopy is obtained with LBT/LUCI and VLT/X-SHOOTER. The [O III]/Hβ line ratio is high (> 5) and [N II]/Hα is always significantly below unity, which suggests a low gas-phase metallicity. We are able to determine gas-phase metallicities for 7 of our objects using various strong-line methods, with values in the range 0.05-0.30 Z_sun and with a median of 0.15 Z_sun; for 3 of these objects we detect [O III]λ4363 which allows for a direct constraint on the metallicity. The velocity dispersion, as measured from the nebular emission lines, is typically ~50 km/s. Combined with the observed star-forming activity, the Jeans and Toomre stability criteria imply that the gas fraction must be large (> 2/3), consistent with the difference between our dynamical and stellar mass estimates. The implied gas depletion time scale (several hundred Myr) is substantially longer than the inferred mass-weighted ages (~50 Myr), which further supports the emerging picture that most stars in low-mass galaxies form in short, intense bursts of star formation.

description: A high resolution vacuum ultraviolet (HRVUV) beamline based on a 6.65 meter off-plane Eagle spectrometer is in operation at the Indus-1 synchrotron radiation source, RRCAT, Indore, India. To facilitate position sensitive detection and fast spectral recording, a new BaFBr:Eu2+ phosphor based image plate (IP) detection system interchangeable with the existing photomultiplier (PMT) scanning system has been installed on this beamline. VUV photoabsorption studies on Xe, O2, N2O and SO2 are carried out to evaluate the performance of the IP detection system. An FWHM of ~ 0.5 Å is achieved for the Xe atomic line at 1469.6 Å. Reproducibility of spectra is found to be within the experimental resolution. Compared to the PMT scanning system, the IP shows several advantages in terms of sensitivity, recording time and S/N ratio, which are highlighted in the paper. This is the first report of incorporation of an IP detection system in a VUV beamline using synchrotron radiation. Commissioning of the new detection system is expected to greatly enhance the utilization of the HRVUV beamline as a number of spectroscopic experiments which require fast recording times combined with a good signal to noise ratio are now feasible.

description: We employ abundances from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) to study the alpha-element distribution of the stellar members of the Sagittarius stream. To test the reliability of SDSS/SEGUE abundances for the study of Sagittarius, we select high-likelihood samples tracing the different components of the Milky Way, and recover known literature alpha-element distributions. Using selection criteria based on the spatial position, radial velocity, distance and colours of individual stars, we obtain a robust sample of Sagittarius-stream stars. The alpha-element distribution of the Sagittarius stream forms a narrow sequence at intermediate metallicities with a clear turn-down, consistent with the presence of an alpha-element "knee". This is the first time that the alpha-element knee of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy has been detected. Fitting a toy model to our data, we determine that the alpha-knee in Sagittarius takes place at [Fe/H]=-1.27pm0.05, only slightly less metal-poor than the knee in the Milky Way. This indicates that a small number of Sagittarius-like galaxies could have contributed significantly to the build-up of the Milky Way's stellar halo system at ancient times.

Alternative Splicing of G Protein–Coupled Receptors: Relevance to Pain Management

description: Drugs that target G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the primary treatment strategy for patients with acute and chronic pain; however, there is substantial individual variability in both the efficacy and adverse side effects associated with these drugs. Variability in drug responses is, in part, due to individuals’ diversity in alternative splicing of pain-relevant GPCRs. GPCR alternative splice variants often exhibit distinct tissue distribution patterns, drug binding properties, and signaling characteristics that may impact disease pathology as well as the size and direction of analgesic effects. Here, we review the importance of GPCRs and their known splice variants to the management of pain.
Reynolds number of transition and large-scale properties of strong turbulence

description: A turbulent flow is characterized by velocity fluctuations excited in an extremely broad interval of wave numbers $k> Λ_{f}$ where $Λ_{f}$ is a relatively small set of the wave-vectors where energy is pumped into fluid by external forces. Iterative averaging over small-scale velocity fluctuations from the interval $Λ_{f}< k\leq Λ_{0}$, where $η=2π/Λ_{0}$ is the dissipation scale, leads to an infinite number of "relevant" scale-dependent coupling constants ( Reynolds numbers ) $Re_{n}(k)=O(1)$. It is shown that in the i.r. limit $k\rightarrow Λ_{f}$, the Reynolds numbers $Re(k)\rightarrow Re_{tr}$ where $Re_{tr}$ is the recently numerically and experimentally discovered universal Reynolds number of "smooth" transition from Gaussian to anomalous statistics of spatial velocity derivatives. The calculated relation $Re(Λ_{f})=Re_{tr}$ "selects" the lowest - order non-linearity as the only relevant one. This means that in the infra-red limit $k\rightarrow Λ_{f}$ all high-order nonlinearities generated by the scale-elimination sum up to zero.
