description: Background: Congenital limb deficiencies (CLDs) are a relatively common group of birth defects whose etiology is mostly unknown. Recent studies suggest maternal air pollution exposure as a potential risk factor. Aim: To investigate the relationship between ambient air pollution exposure during early pregnancy and offspring CLDs. Methods: The study population was identified from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a population-based multi-center case-control study, and consisted of 615 CLD cases and 5,701 controls with due dates during 1997 through 2006. Daily averages and/or maxima of six criteria air pollutants (particulate matter <2.5 μm [PM2.5], particulate matter <10 μm [PM10], nitrogen dioxide [NO2], sulfur dioxide [SO2], carbon monoxide [CO], and ozone [O3]) were averaged over gestational weeks 2–8, as well as for individual weeks during this period, using data from EPA air monitors nearest to the maternal address. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, and study center. We estimated aORs for any CLD and CLD subtypes (i.e., transverse, longitudinal, and preaxial). Potential confounding by co-pollutant was assessed by adjusting for one additional air pollutant. Using the single pollutant model, we further investigated effect measure modification by body mass index, cigarette smoking, and folic acid use. Sensitivity analyses were conducted restricting to those with a residence closer to an air monitor. Results: We observed near-null aORs for CLDs per interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM10, PM2.5, and O3. However, weekly averages of the daily average NO2 and SO2, and daily max NO2, SO2, and CO concentrations were associated with increased odds of CLDs. The crude ORs ranged from 1.03 to 1.12 per IQR increase in these air pollution concentrations, and consistently elevated aORs were observed for CO. Stronger associations were observed for SO2 and O3 in subtype analysis (preaxial). In co-pollutant adjusted models, associations with CO remained elevated (aORs: 1.02–1.30); but aORs for SO2 and NO2 became near-null. The aORs for CO remained elevated among mothers who lived within 20 km of an air monitor. The aORs varied by maternal BMI, smoking status, and folic acid use. Conclusion: We observed modest associations between CLDs and air pollution exposures during pregnancy, including CO, SO2, and NO2, though replication through further epidemiologic research is warranted.

description: Moisture protection of timber structures is of high importance for a sustainable built environment. This paper provides an insight into moisture protection concepts and international regulations for moisture monitoring with permanently installed sensors. Comparative experiments for the method of long-term electrical resistance measurements and the sorptive method are conducted in both, in-vitro and in-situ measurement campaigns in CLT. Based on oven-dried samples, electrical resistivity conversion seems to tend to give too low values for wood moisture content, while results after conversion from sorption isotherms tend to be too high, depending on the equation used. Thus, the investigations show significant discrepancies and the need for further laboratory measurements. Finally, the paper outlines the further potential of moisture monitoring concepts based on European standardization work.

description: As educational institutions switched from in-person to Remote Learning or Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT), this study explores the search popularity indices of three search terms globally and in the USA from January 2020 - April 2021. Google search terms, such as COVID-19, Instructional Design, and Remote Learning, showed considerable search interest in Google Trends at the peak of the pandemic on Mach 11, 2020 (WHO, 2020). Pytrends was used to extract search interest of the primary and related terms from Google and YouTube Search globally and in the USA (Pytrends, n.d.). The search interest of the three search terms and associated terms exhibited similar peaks and dips of interest at the beginning of the pandemic and the 2020-2021 school year. Educational technology tools, including SeeSaw Learning and Zoom, were present as related search terms for Remote Learning. Search queries in YouTube revealed educational channels that host various lecture materials related to K-12 and professional development. The interactive visualizations in Tableau Public enable users to explore the search trend patterns of the three main terms and related queries. This project serves as an archive of users’ conscious information seeking to highlight the pivotal roles of Instructional Design and Remote Learning observed in search popularity indices in light of the pandemic.

description: Thirty-one adults who had been treated with orthodontics alone for Class II malocclusions were recalled at least 5 years posttreatment to evaluate cephalometric and occlusal stability and also their satisfaction with treatment outcomes. The data were compared with similar data for long-term outcomes in patients with more severe Class II problems who had surgical correction with mandibular advancement, maxillary impaction, or a combination of those. In the camouflage patients, small mean changes in skeletal landmark positions occurred in the long term, but the changes were generally much smaller than in the surgery patients. The percentages of patients with a long-term increase in overbite were almost identical in the orthodontic and surgery groups, but the surgery patients were nearly twice as likely to have a long-term increase in overjet. The patients’ perceptions of outcomes were highly positive in both the orthodontic and the surgical groups. The orthodontics-only (camouflage) patients reported fewer functional or temporomandibular joint problems than did the surgery patients and had similar reports of overall satisfaction with treatment, but patients who had their mandibles advanced were significantly more positive about their dentofacial images.

description: Objective: Anotia and microtia are congenital malformations of the external ear with few known risk factors. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of a wide range of potential risk factors using data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), a population-based case-control study of non-chromosomal structural birth defects in the United States. Methods: Mothers of 699 infants with anotia or microtia (cases) and 11,797 non-malformed infants (controls) delivered between 1997 and 2011 were interviewed to obtain information about sociodemographic, health behavioral, and clinical characteristics. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated with logistic regression. Results: Infants with anotia/microtia were more likely to be male (aOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.10–1.50) and from a multifetal pregnancy (aOR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.16–2.42). Cases were also more likely to have parents of Hispanic ethnicity (maternal aOR, 3.19; 95% CI, 2.61–3.91; paternal aOR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.54–2.88), and parents born outside the United States (maternal aOR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.06–1.57; paternal aOR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.53–2.41). Maternal health conditions associated with increased odds of anotia/microtia included obesity (aOR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.06–1.61) and pre-pregnancy diabetes (type I aOR, 9.89; 95% CI, 5.46–17.92; type II aOR, 4.70; 95% CI, 2.56–8.63). Reduced odds were observed for black mothers (aOR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.38–0.85) and mothers reporting daily intake of folic acid-containing supplements (aOR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.46–0.76). Conclusion: We identified several risk factors for anotia/microtia, some which have been previously reported (e.g., diabetes) and others which we investigate for perhaps the first time (e.g., binge drinking) that warrant further investigation. Our findings point to some potentially modifiable risk factors and provide further leads toward understanding the etiology of anotia/microtia.

description: Teachers have many options for continuing education and professional development. Online platforms are one option that can provide 24/7 access to professional development resources and communities for practice and support. By examining how teachers use these sites, we can offer suggestions for improvement and continued engagement. This paper describes an analysis of utilization patterns of instructional resources and site features in one online professional development platform for K-12 teachers in the state of Missouri in the United States. A clustering algorithm was applied to a large dataset of web analytics records to find patterns of use of professional development materials and site features. Prominent patterns suggest that teachers seek concrete video examples of teaching strategies and examples of units of instruction, and school administrators review teachers’ journals and perform administrative site functions. Teachers who are new visitors use the journal tool for initial reflection activities, but they do not access the journal tool in the future. Small patterns provide additional knowledge about the most utilized resources and the issue of referrer spam.

description: A particular choice of renormalization, within the simplifications provided by the non-perturbative property of Effective Locality, leads to a completely finite, renormalized theory of QCD, in which all correlation functions can, in principle, be defined and calculated. In this Model of renormalization, only the Bundle chain-Graphs of the cluster expansion are non-zero. All Bundle graphs connecting to closed quark loops of whatever complexity, and attached to a single quark line, provided no 'self-energy' to that quark line, and hence no effective renormalization. However, the exchange of momentum between one quark line and another, involves only the cluster-expansion's chain graphs, and yields a set of contributions which can be summed and provide a finite color-charge renormalization that can be incorporated into all other QCD processes. An application to high energy elastic pp scattering is now underway.

description: We study a non-local scalar quantum field theory in flat spacetime derived from the dynamics of a scalar field on a causal set. We show that this non-local QFT contains a continuum of massive modes in any dimension. In 2 dimensions the Hamiltonian is positive definite and therefore the quantum theory is well-defined. In 4-dimensions, we show that the unstable modes of the non-local d'Alembertian are propagated via the so called Wheeler propagator and hence do not appear in the asymptotic states. In the free case studied here the continuum of massive mode are shown to not propagate in the asymptotic states. However the Hamiltonian is not positive definite, therefore potential issues with the quantum theory remain. Finally, we conclude with hints toward what kind of phenomenology one might expect from such non-local QFTs.

description: A large and high-quality single crystal (Li0.84Fe0.16)OHFe0.98Se, the optimal superconductor of newly reported (Li1-xFex)OHFe1-ySe system, has been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal ion-exchange technique. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 42 K is determined by magnetic susceptibility and electric resistivity measurements, and the zero-temperature upper critical magnetic fields are evaluated as 79 and 313 Tesla for the field along the c-axis and the ab-plane, respectively. The ratio of out-of-plane to in-plane electric resistivity,\r{ho}c/\r{ho}ab, is found to increases with decreasing temperature and to reach a high value of 2500 at 50 K, with an evident kink occurring at a characteristic temperature T*=120 K. The negative in-plane Hall coefficient indicates that electron carriers dominate in the charge transport, and the hole contribution is significantly reduced as the temperature is lowered to approach T*. From T* down to Tc, we observe the linear temperature dependences of the in-plane electric resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility for the FeSe layers. Our findings thus reveal that the normal state of (Li0.84Fe0.16)OHFe0.98Se becomes highly two-dimensional and anomalous prior to the superconducting transition, providing a new insight into the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity.

description: We discuss the possible existence of features in both the primordial power spectrum and bispectrum generated during a stage of single field cosmic inflation. We argue that there are two main classes of features: those produced by a sudden time variation of the sound speed of curvature perturbations, and those produced by a sudden change in the expansion rate during inflation. The former are known to be produced by heavy fields, when the inflationary background trajectory in field space undergoes a bend, whereas the latter are known to be produced by features in the inflaton potential encountered as the inflaton field descends its slope. In general, features are expected to be the result of these two sources combined, however, it is possible that one source dominated over the other, resulting in a distinctive pattern that may be observationally tested. We deduce a relation that gives us the shape of features in the bispectrum provided that we know the shape of features in the power spectrum, and show that each one of these two classes of features leaves a particular footprint in the distribution of perturbations that could be uncovered by a joint analysis of the primordial power spectrum and bispectrum.

description: The intersystem crossing (ISC) is an important process in many solid-state atomlike impurities. For example, it allows the electronic spin state of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond to be initialized and read out using optical fields at ambient temperatures. This capability has enabled a wide array of applications in metrology and quantum information science. Here, we develop a microscopic model of the state-selective ISC from the optical excited state manifold of the NV center. By correlating the electron-phonon interactions that mediate the ISC with those that induce population dynamics within the NV center's excited state manifold and those that produce the phonon sidebands of its optical transitions, we quantitatively demonstrate that our model is consistent with recent ISC measurements. Furthermore, our model constrains the unknown energy spacings between the center's spin-singlet and spin-triplet levels. Finally, we discuss prospects to engineer the ISC in order to improve the spin initialization and readout fidelities of NV centers.

description: We rewrite the recently derived cubic action of Double Field Theory on group manifolds [arXiv:1410.6374] in terms of a generalized metric and extrapolate it to all orders in the fields. For the resulting action, we derive the field equations and state them in terms of a generalized curvature scalar and a generalized Ricci tensor. Compared to the generalized metric formulation of DFT derived from tori, all these quantities receive additional contributions related to the non-trivial background. It is shown that the action is invariant under its generalized diffeomorphisms and 2D-diffeomorphisms. Imposing additional constraints relating the background and fluctuations around it, the precise relation between the proposed generalized metric formulation of DFT${}_\mathrm{WZW}$ and of original DFT from tori is clarified. Furthermore we show how to relate DFT${}_\mathrm{WZW}$ of the WZW background with the flux formulation of original DFT.

description: Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the association between maternal occupational exposure to solvents and gastroschisis in offspring. Methods: We used data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a large population-based case-control study of major birth defects conducted in 10 US states from 1997 to 2011. Infants with gastroschisis were ascertained by active birth defects surveillance systems. Control infants without major birth defects were selected from vital records or birth hospital records. Self-reported maternal occupational histories were collected by telephone interview. Industrial hygienists reviewed this information to estimate exposure to aromatic, chlorinated and petroleum-based solvents from 1 month before conception through the first trimester of pregnancy. Cumulative exposure to solvents was estimated for the same period accounting for estimated exposure intensity and frequency, job duration and hours worked per week. ORs and 95% CIs were estimated to assess the association between exposure to any solvents or solvent classes, and gastroschisis risk. Results: Among 879 cases and 7817 controls, the overall prevalence of periconceptional solvent exposure was 7.3% and 7.4%, respectively. Exposure to any solvent versus no exposure to solvents was not associated with gastroschisis after adjusting for maternal age (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.32), nor was an association noted for solvent classes. There was no exposure-response relationship between estimated cumulative solvent exposure and gastroschisis after adjusting for maternal age. Conclusion: Our study found no association between maternal occupational solvent exposure and gastroschisis in offspring. Further research is needed to understand risk factors for gastroschisis.

description: We appreciate Dr. Camacho’s interest in our article (Desrosiers, Siega-Riz, Mosley, Meyer, & National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 2018), and welcome the opportunity to respond. As Dr. Camacho emphasizes, the association between folic acid and neural tube defects (NTDs) is well established (Viswanathan et al., 2017). What is less certain are factors potentially related to folate insufficiency among women of reproductive age, and even more so, among women who meet the U.S. Preventative Health Task Force’s recommendation of 0.4–0.8 mg/day of supplemental folic acid (Tinker, Hamner, Qi, & Crider, 2015; US Preventive Services Task Force, 2017). Understanding the reasons for folate insufficiency could help prevent some cases of birth defects in the future and is thus a worthy research pursuit. One theory expressed in the literature is whether avoidance of carbohydrate-rich foods such as enriched grains (fortified with folic acid) and beans (high in natural folate) could lead to meaningful reductions in folate status, which could in turn lead to an increased risk for some women of having an NTD-affected pregnancy (Mills, 2017; Quinlivan & Gregory, 2007).

description: The crux of Dr. Harcombe’s critique is her assertion that our study design was inappropriate for our research objective, which was to investigate whether maternal carbohydrate restriction before conception was associated with neural tube defects (NTDs) in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), a population-based case-control study of birth defects (Desrosiers, Siega-Riz, Mosley, Meyer, & The National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 2018). In her Letter, Dr. Harcombe claims that our study is fundamentally flawed because “cases should have been women who restrict carbohydrates and the controls should have been women who don’t and the outcome measure should have been NTD-affected pregnancies.” Despite her confusing (mis)use of the terms case and control, what Dr. Harcombe appears to be describing is a cohort study.

description: Abstract
Many researchers have looked into the passive approach to enhancing the flow of heat in tube heat exchange devices. Some of them attempted to alter the surface by making dimples or using wire coils with various cross-sections, while others focused on core fluid disturbance by using insert geometries like twisted tapes. In the present research, testing was performed to strengthen heating in channels with distinct arrangement of vortex generator. A method for analysis of fluid movement and transfer of heat in a channel with vortex generator using CFD tool was also developed. Under the different mass flow rates, average wall temperatures for steady state circumstances were calculated and compared with test results. It highlights how the addition of vortex generator to the test surface improves forced convection heat transfer.

description: Rice nutritional quality is one of the major concerns along with productivity enhancement to feed the continuously growing population. To address wide-spread malnutrition influencing global health, novel high yielding rice cultivars with better nutritional quality need to be bred. No doubt, the conventional breeding approaches have helped to decrease the gap between demand and supply for yield and nutrition; however, to meet today’s demands more advanced approaches need to be employed. This review discusses approaches for the improvement of nutritional quality of rice and gauges the availability of omics resources. Recent omics advances providing numerous tools and techniques for the efficient exploration of genetic resources as well as for the understanding of molecular mechanism involved in the trait development have been discussed. Understanding of genes or loci governing different traits has been found to be effective in accelerating the crop breeding programs. In this regard, approaches like QTL (quantitative trait loci) mapping, genome-wide association study and genomic selection are discussed in light of their utilization for rice nutritional quality improvements. Efficient integration of different omics approaches is recognized as a promising way to achieve the desired improvements in rice cultivars. Therefore, advances in omics branches like transcriptomics, proteomics, ionomics, and metabolomics being efficiently explored for rice improvement programs are also addressed. This article provides a catalog of genes, loci, mutants, online resources and computational approaches for rice improvement. The information provided here will be helpful for pursuing present progress and directing rice research program for better future.

description: We analyze a chain of coupled nonlinear optical cavities driven by a coherent source of light localized at one end and subject to uniform dissipation. We characterize photon transport by studying the populations and the photon correlations as a function of position. When complemented with input-output theory, these quantities provide direct information about photon transmission through the system. The position of single- and multi-photon resonances directly reflect the structure of the many-body energy levels. This shows how a study of transport along a coupled cavity array can provide rich information about the strongly correlated (many-body) states of light even in presence of dissipation. By means of a numerical algorithm based on the time-evolving block decimation scheme adapted to mixed states, we are able to simulate arrays up to sixty cavities.

description: Background: Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug among U.S. adolescents and adults, but little is known about factors that drive trends in cannabis use prevalence. To better understand drivers of these trends, we aimed to estimate age, period, and cohort effects on past-month cannabis use among U.S. individuals age 12 and older from 2002 to 2015. Methods: We conducted an age-period-cohort analysis on past-month cannabis use among participants ages 12 and older using the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an annual cross-sectional nationally-representative survey of drug use. Additionally, we examined how age, period, and cohort effects differed across gender. Participants (n = 779,799) self-reported cannabis patterns using a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI). Results: Past-month cannabis use in this population increased from 6.0% in 2002 to 8.1% in 2015. Distinct age, period, and cohort effects were observed. Compared to participants ages 12–13, participants ages 18–21 (PR: 16.8, 95% CI: 15.6, 18.1) and 22–25 (PR: 13.2, 95% CI: 12.2, 14.4) had dramatically higher prevalence of past-month cannabis use. Compared to participants in 2002, participants in 2014 (PR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.4) and 2014 (PR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1, 1.4) had slightly higher prevalence of past-month cannabis use. Compared to the 1940s birth cohort, the 1950s birth cohort (PR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.5, 2.2) had a higher prevalence of past-month cannabis use. Conclusions: Past-month cannabis use is prevalent and increasing among U.S. adults. Distinct age, period, and cohort effects are at play, though age effects are strongest.
