description: Animal pests notoriously cause billions of dollars of damage by spoiling crops, damaging infrastructure and spreading disease. Pest control companies try to mitigate this damage by implementing pest management approaches to respond to and prevent infestations. However, these approaches are labour intensive, as pest control technicians must regularly visit the affected areas for monitoring and evaluation. Current remote sensing technologies can allow for decision making based on real-time data remotely uploaded from pest traps. This reduces the frequency of field visits and improves the pest management process. In this paper, we survey a variety of modern data-driven pest management approaches. We also evaluate wireless communication infrastructures which can be used to facilitate data transfer between pest traps and cloud servers.

description: Michele Sanvico, attualmente il maggiore esperto al mondo della tradizione leggendaria relativa al Monte Sibilla e al Lago di Pilato, in Italia, ripercorre i passi che condussero alla pubblicazione dell'innovativo articolo 'La leggenda ctonia' il 25 marzo 2020, un contributo fondamentale relativamente allo studio dell'eredità leggendaria dei Monti Sibillini. 'La leggenda ctonia' ha aperto prospettive di ricerca inedite stabilendo un originale collegamento tra i due rinomati racconti leggendari, relativi a una Sibilla Appenninica e a un prefetto romano, e la peculiare sismicità di questo territorio, situato nell'Italia centrale: un aspetto fondamentale che è stato del tutto trascurato in tutti gli studi precedenti. Nel presente articolo Michele Sanvico analizza, a quattro anni di distanza, il significato e gli esiti della ricerca proposta in 'La leggenda ctonia', fornendo anche nuovi riferimenti e integrazioni. Vengono inoltre proposte considerazioni (personali) miscellanee, stabilendo anche una connessione tra l'articolo scientifico pubblicato nel 2020 e il romanzo 'L'undicesima Sibilla - Abyssus Sibyllae' edito dieci anni prima: un approccio letterario e poetico che ha permesso all'Autore di pensare 'fuori dagli schemi', preparando la strada all'ottenimento di nuovi risultati, mai in precedenza raggiunti, in relazione alle leggende sibilline.

https://doi-org.ez.library.latrobe.edu.au/10.1111/dar.13038.Introduction and Aims: Alcohol consumption among young Australians has declined markedly since the early 2000s. As yet, there has been no data on how this decline has been spread across different beverages and instead high-level survey data with significant potential for recall and other bias has been used. Trends in beverage choice among young people following an increase in the ‘alcopops’ tax have also not received much attention. Design and Methods: Data on ‘yesterday’ drinking occasions were obtained from five waves (2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016) of the National Drug Strategy Household Survey. A total of 23 536 respondents aged 14–29 years were included in this study. Descriptive and regression analyses were conducted to explore trends in alcohol consumption and changes in beverage preferences. Results: Youth drinking declined by 45% across the study period, with declines of 66% in premix, 48% in spirits, 46% in beer and 33% in wine. Consumption of premix was significantly lower in 2013 and 2016 compared to 2007 amongst the overall sample, males, females, respondents aged 14–21 and 22–29 years, light and heavy drinkers. Significant reductions were also observed in the consumption of premix immediately following the tax (2010) for the younger age group, males and light drinkers. Discussion and Conclusions: Youth consumption of alcohol has declined during the study period with significant variation across beverage types. We found some evidence of a separate impact for the alcopops tax, although for some groups, declines in premix consumption occurred well after the implementation of the tax.

description: The Identifiers.org resolver is purpose built to support the use of HTTP URIs directly for identification and cross-referencing of Life Science data. These URIs can be incorporated in datasets, facilitate usability by tools (for processing and display), and are resolvable by the end user. Moreover, these URIs are free and provide unique, perennial and location-independent identifiers. The information used to provide identifiers.org services is stored in a curated registry of data collections (corresponding to controlled vocabularies or databases). This information includes identifier patterns that are used by the collection, current and legacy physical locations (access URLs) and a record of individual resource uptimes. Consequently we are able to provide services such identifier validation, interconversion services between access URLs and alternative URI schemes, and redirection services to reliable physical locations. We describe these services, as well as our most recent developments.
Compact kickstand

description: The original concept of this project was to design and fabricate a compact kickstand to be
used on a dirt bike. The kickstand would be stored in a typical sized hydration pack carried by
dirt bike riders while in the woods. The team designed many different styles of kickstands via
SolidWorks and 3D printing. The final prototype incorporates the necessary features needed for
the kickstand. During the final evaluation it was decided the kickstand should be constructed out
of a stronger material to support the weight of the bike. With only few other simple
recommendations, the team determined they are in the final stage of having a marketable
product.

Consumption of steroids and other performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) is thought to be on the rise in Australia. Along with the benefits experienced by consumers come a range of health risks. This article draws on interviews conducted for an Australian research project on men who inject PIEDs to consider the ways in which information about managing these risks can be provided, the sources of information men use and value, and the professional relationships most effective for securing the best outcomes for them. As we will show, the men in our project expressed a very strong desire for reliable, credible information about risks and how to manage them, but also described often having to rely on information gleaned from sources of questionable reliability such as online forums and friends and acquaintances. Among the sources of information, advice and monitoring they expressed a desire to access were general medical practitioners (GPs), but high-quality interactions with GPs were, they argued, rarely possible. Using the recent work of Isabelle Stengers, particularly the notions of connoisseurship and symbiosis, we argue that new modes of engagement need to be developed that might allow men who consume PIEDs to access the information and support they need, including through their GPs. Following Stengers, we characterise the men in our project as ‘connoisseurs’ of PIEDs, and we consider what might be at stake and made possible were GPs and PIED connoisseurs to enter into more collaborative relationships to manage PIED-related health issues. In conducting our analysis, we argue for greater recognition of the complexities GPs face when encountering people engaged in illegal forms of consumption and call for new symbiotic models of engagement beyond both zero tolerance-style refusals to help and narrowly focused harm reduction approaches.

description: © 2020. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. Cleft lip and palate are common birth defects resulting from failure of the facial processes to fuse during development. The mammalian grainyhead-like (Grhl1-3) genes play key roles in a number of tissue fusion processes including neurulation, epidermal wound healing and eyelid fusion. One family member, Grhl2, is expressed in the epithelial lining of the first pharyngeal arch in mice at embryonic day (E)10.5, prompting analysis of the role of this factor in palatogenesis. Grhl2- null mice die at E11.5 with neural tube defects and a cleft face phenotype, precluding analysis of palatal fusion at a later stage of development. However, in the first pharyngeal arch of Grhl2-null embryos, dysregulation of transcription factors that drive epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs. The aberrant expression of these genes is associated with a shift in RNA-splicing patterns that favours the generation of mesenchymal isoforms of numerous regulators. Driving the EMT perturbation is loss of expression of the EMT-suppressing transcription factors Ovol1 and Ovol2, which are direct GRHL2 targets. The expression of the miR-200 family of microRNAs, also GRHL2 targets, is similarly reduced, resulting in a 56-fold upregulation of Zeb1 expression, a major driver of mesenchymal cellular identity. The critical role of GRHL2 in mediating cleft palate in Zeb1-/- mice is evident, with rescue of both palatal and facial fusion seen in Grhl2-/-;Zeb1-/- embryos. These findings highlight the delicate balance between GRHL2/ZEB1 and epithelial/mesenchymal cellular identity that is essential for normal closure of the palate and face. Perturbation of this pathway may underlie cleft palate in some patients.

description: The reactions of [PhI(pyridine) ] , PhI(OAc) and PhI(OTf)(OAc) with Ph As, Ph Sb and Ph Bi are described. The reactions of [PhI(pyridine) ] with Ph Sb and Ph Bi afford dicationic Pn(v) complexes ligated by pyridine in one step. These were previously reported by Burford in multi-step syntheses. Reactions with PhI(OAc) , which were already known for Sb and Bi giving Pn(v) diacetates, were confirmed to give the same type of compound for As. Reactions with PhI(OAc)(OTf) were less selective, resulting in the isolation of iodonium cations [Ph-I-Ph] for As and Bi, while Ph Sb gave an oxobridged di-antimony species characteristic of the decomposition of a high valent triflate bound species.

description: This thesis examines the theme of object-metaphors in the works of Gabrielle Roy, specifically how Roy uses these object-metaphors to trigger the memories of the characters in the texts: Bonheur d’occasion, Rue Deschambault, and La Route d’Altamont. Memory is a recurring and important theme in Roy’s works, and throughout the texts, the memories of the characters are stimulated by objects found in daily life. In this thesis, the objects have been classified into the categories of clothing, food, and domestic objects. Upon encountering these objects, both positive and negative memories for the characters Jean Lévesque, Florentine and Rose-Anna Lacasse and Christine are generated. Using primary critics of Gabrielle Roy and drawing on psychoanalytic and memory-based studies, this thesis demonstrates that exposure to these object-metaphors directly impacts the characters’ memories as well as their actions.

description: Recovery-oriented practice (ROP) is a widely used mental health approach. It takes into consideration the consumers' choices and future-focus. Results revealed lived experience peer workers viewed their roles as bridging the barrier between service users and clinicians, perceived themselves as representing consumers and supporting their journeys through the service and educating clinicians. Clinicians understood ROP but believed it would be difficult to implement and believed peer workers are beneficial but did not want them in the clinical space. Co-design and coproduction is the most authentic form of conducting ROP research and both perspectives should be considered throughout practice change initiatives.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Seagrasses evolved from monocotyledonous land plants that returned to the marine habitat. This transition was accomplished by substantial changes in cell wall composition, revealing habitat-driven adaption to the new environment. Whether arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), important signalling molecules of land plants, are present in seagrass cell walls is of evolutionary and plant development interest. AGPs of Zostera marina L. were isolated and structurally characterised by analytical and bioinformatics methods as well as by ELISA with different anti-AGP antibodies. Calcium-binding capacity of AGPs was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and microscopy. Bioinformatic searches of the Z. marina proteome identified 9 classical AGPs and a large number of chimeric AGPs. The glycan structures exhibit unique features, including a high degree of branching and an unusually high content of terminating 4-O-methyl-glucuronic acid (4-OMe GlcA) residues. Although the common backbone structure of land plant AGPs is conserved in Z. marina, the terminating residues are distinct with high amounts of uronic acids. These differences likely result from the glycan-active enzymes (glycosyltransferases and methyltransferases) and are essential for calcium-binding properties. The role of this polyanionic surface is discussed with regard to adaption to the marine environment.

Year: 2016

description: Human Hair is well described in literature because of its social implications. Baldness is being far studied but not much literature is find for healthy hair development.

This poster resume our first step research on structural changes in hair shaft during childhood, since newborn to 8 years old development. We describe some fine structural information on hair strand with micro-morphological observations that were made with the use of scanning electron microscope (SEM). On the poster we detailed wide variations in the normal sequence of hair development during first 8 years in childhood, either in shape and pattern. Imbricated structures of cuticular cells became very clearly visible and well defined by the age of 4. Lack or spaced distribution of cuticles in the first year of age could be defined as a sign of immaturity as clearly described in lanugo.

Due to weathering and daily grooming, the arrangement of the cuticular cells was fairly irregular in far ends . In fact normal hair shafts in early childhood undergo progressive degenerative changes because of these facts. Our findings show that cross sectional area rapidly rises by the age of 4, but thereafter increases more gradually.

In coincidence with literature, we find that children's hair is on average finer, rounder, less frequently medullated, and lighter in color than adults' hair. These facts are considered normal signs of immaturity.

Normal hair growth and development must be better understood in order to have a better understanding of baldness and hair fiber imbalance.

description: Background: Diabetes is the leading cause of lower limb amputation in Australia, costing the Australian health care system an estimated A$1.6 billion annually. Podiatrists are the primary foot health care provider in Australia. Research suggests that health professional attitudes can impact patient utilisation of e-health technologies, such as wearable foot monitoring devices aimed at preventing foot ulceration. The aim of this study was to explore factors that impact the intentions of Australian podiatrists to adopt smart insole foot monitoring technology. Methods: A mixed methods explanatory sequential design was undertaken. One hundred and eleven Australian podiatrists completed an online version of the validated Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the strongest predictive model of podiatrists' behavioural intention to adopt technology. Additionally, two focus groups were conducted, and thematic analysis was performed to explore podiatrists' perceived barriers and enablers to smart insole adoption. Results: One hundred and eleven Australian podiatrists completed the online UTAUT questionnaire. The majority of respondents practiced in the private sector (58.6%) and were female (50.5%), with Victoria the most common practice location (39.6%). Significant positive correlations existed between behavioural intention and six psychosocial domains including performance expectancy (r = 0.64, p < 0.001), effort expectancy (r = 0.47, p < 0.001), attitude (r = 0.55, p < 0.001), social influence (r = 0.45, p < 0.001), facilitating conditions (r = 0.36, p < 0.001), and self-efficacy (r = 0.30, p < 0.002). Multiple regression analysis determined that performance expectancy alone was most predictive of behavioural intention to adopt a smart insole into clinical practice (adjusted R2 = 42%, p < 0.001). Qualitative analyses revealed that podiatrists believed that the insole would increase patient knowledge, engagement and self-efficacy. However, concerns were raised about cost, footwear issues and the device's utility with elderly and remote populations. Conclusions: Performance expectancy was the most important psychosocial factor predicting the intentions of Australian podiatrists to adopt smart insole foot monitoring technologies. While Australian podiatrists are open to adopting smart insoles into clinical practice, evidence of the device's efficacy is a precursor to adoption. Other perceived barriers to adoption including device cost, compatibility with off-loading, footwear issues and patient age also need to be addressed prior to implementation and clinical adoption.

description: © 2020 Indian Epilepsy Society. Objective Recently, instances of general practitioners (GPs) prescribing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) have increased. We aimed to investigate the use of AEDs in a community sample of people with epilepsy and the effect on quality of life (QoL). Methods Responses from the Australian Epilepsy Longitudinal Study (AELS), Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS), and Medicare Benefit Scheme (MBS) data were used. Linear regression was used to investigate the relationship between the numbers of AEDs and QoL. Results Fifty people with epilepsy were prescribed an average of two AEDs. The most common were lamotrigine, sodium valproate, and levetiracetam. Eighty-two percent were prescribed medications from two or more categories of medications. A lower QoL at wave 2 of the AELS was significantly associated with a higher number of AEDs. Conclusion Given the high number of people with epilepsy being cared for in general practice, GPs must understand the risks and benefits of epilepsy monotherapy, polytherapy, and polypharmacy.

Introduction Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a debilitating form of atypical Parkinsonism. People living with PSP experience movement disorders affecting walking, balance and eye movements. The role of exercise in optimising movement remains unclear. Aims To identify beliefs about exercise and structured physical activity through the experience of people with PSP. Methods Using a phenomenological theoretical framework, qualitative methods were employed to obtain the views of people living with PSP, and their care partners, by in-depth interviews. Questions derived from a systematic review and expert opinions guided the interviews which were audio-recorded, transcribed and de-identified. Two researchers independently conducted thematic analysis and reached consensus on emerging themes. Results There were 16 participants. Four themes were identified: (i) there are beliefs and preferences about exercise and physical activity that can impact on engagement; (ii) difficulty coping with disease progression impacts activities; (iii) facilitators to exercise include individual preferences, access to facilities and expert advice; and (iv) perceived barriers include beliefs about limited exercise options, falls risk, cost, transport and access to credible information. Discussion People living with PSP want early guidance about the condition and the role of exercise. It is important to quickly enable people to have access to evidence and resources supporting exercise and structured physical activities. Consideration of individual preferences and access to expert advice facilitate engagement. Individual barriers need to be identified and solutions found. Conclusion People living with PSP are amenable to exercise, especially early in the disease process. Clear guidelines are warranted to document which exercises, and physical activities are most beneficial.

description: Sharks are an interesting group of vertebrates, as many species swim continuously to “ram” oxygen-rich seawater over their gills (ram ventilators), whereas other species “pump” seawater over their gills by manipulating buccal cavity volume while remaining motionless (buccal pumpers). This difference in respiratory physiology raises the question: What are the implications of these differences in lifestyle for circadian rhythms? We investigated the diel activity patterns of 5 species of sharks, including 3 ram ventilating species: the school shark (Galeorhinus galeus), the spotted estuary smooth-hound (Mustelus lenticulatus), and the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias); and 2 buccal pumping species: the Port Jackson (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) and draughtsboard (Cephaloscyllium isabellum) sharks. We measured the amount, duration, and distance traveled while swimming over multiple days under a 12:12 light:dark light regime for all species and used modified light regimes for species with a clear diel rhythm in activity. We identified a surprising diversity of activity rhythms. The school shark and smooth-hound swam continuously; however, whereas the school shark swam at the same speed and covered the same distance during the day and night, the smooth-hound swam slower at night and traversed a shorter distance. A similar pattern was observed in the spiny dogfish, although this shark swam less overall. Both the Port Jackson and draughtsboard sharks showed a marked nocturnal preference for swimming. This pattern was muted and disrupted during constant light and constant dark regimes, although circadian organization of this pattern was maintained under certain conditions. The consequences of these patterns for other biological processes, such as sleep, remain unclear. Nonetheless, these 5 species demonstrate remarkable diversity within the activity rhythms of sharks.

description: Social media platforms can expose influential trends in many aspects of everyday life. However, the trends they represent can be contaminated by disinformation. Social bots are one of the significant sources of disinformation in social media. Social bots can pose serious cyber threats to society and public opinion. This research aims to develop machine learning models to detect bots based on the extracted user's profile from a Tweet's text. Online users' profile shows the user's personal information, such as age, gender, education, and personality. In this work, the user's profile is constructed based on the user's online posts. This work's main contribution is three-fold: First, we aim to improve bot detection through machine learning models based on the user's personal information generated by the user's online comments. The similarity of personal information when comparing two online posts makes it difficult to differentiate a bot from a human user. However, in this research, we turn personal information similarity among two online posts as an advantage for the new bot detection model. The new proposed model for bot detection creates user profiles based on personal information such as age, personality, gender, education from user's online posts, and introduces a machine learning model to detect social bots with high prediction accuracy based on personal information.

description: © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Our aim was to explore insights from clinical practice that may inform efforts to understand and account for factors that predict spoken language outcomes for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who use minimal verbal language. We used a qualitative design involving three focus groups with 14 speech pathologists to explore their views and experiences. Using the Framework Method of analysis, we identified 9 themes accounting for 183 different participant references to potential factors. Participants highlighted the relevance of clusters of fine-grained social, communication, and learning behaviours, including novel insights into prelinguistic vocal behaviours. The participants suggested the potential value of dynamic assessment in predicting spoken language outcomes. The findings can inform efforts to developing clinically relevant methods for predicting children’s communication outcomes.

description: Cellulose and its derivatives are used as potential matrices for biomaterials and tissue engineering applications. The objective of present research was to investigate the influence of biofield treatment on physical, chemical and thermal properties of ethyl cellulose (EC) and methyl cellulose (MC). The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treated group. The biofield treated polymers are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), CHNSO analysis, X-ray diffraction study (XRD), Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FT-IR analysis of treated EC showed downward shifting in C-O-C stretching peak from 1091→1066 cm-1 with respect to control. However, the treated MC showed upward shifting of –OH stretching (3413→3475) and downward shifting in C-O stretching (1647→1635 cm-1) vibrations with respect to control MC. CHNSO analysis showed substantial increase in percent hydrogen and oxygen in treated polymers with respect to control. XRD diffractogram of EC and MC affirmed the typical semi-crystalline nature. The crystallite size was substantially increased by 20.54% in treated EC with respect to control. However, the treated MC showed decrease in crystallite by 61.59% with respect to control. DSC analysis of treated EC showed minimal changes in crystallization temperature with respect to control sample. However, the treated and control MC did not show any crystallization temperature in the samples. TGA analysis of treated EC showed increase in thermal stability with respect to control. However, the TGA thermogram of treated MC showed reduction in thermal stability as compared to control. Overall, the result showed substantial alteration in physical, chemical and thermal properties of treated EC and MC.

description: Multiple interventions may be used to treat symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA), but concerns have been raised about the safety and efficacy of some therapies. Clinical trials have shown that hyaluronic acid (HA) can provide pain relief up to 6 months and possibly to 12 months, while real-world data has shown that pain medication and intra-articular corticosteroid (CS) injection utilization are reduced within 6 months after HA. To examine changes in prescription pain medication and CS utilization during 1 year after multimodal therapy that included high molecular weight, bio-fermentation derived HA (Bio-HA) use for knee OA. Commercial and Medicare Supplemental claims data (IBM MarketScan Research Databases) (1 January 2012, through 31 December 2018) was used to identify unilateral Bio-HA patients using multimodal therapy (any combination of CS injection, opioids, and non-opioid pain medication). Monthly therapy utilization was compared in the 12 months after Bio-HA therapy initiation to the 4-month intra-multimodal period. A total of 13,999 patients underwent Bio-HA therapy with concurrent multimodal therapy. The number of filled opioid prescriptions decreased from 2,913.0/month to 2,861.5/month after Bio-HA, with a reduction in mean monthly prescriptions from 0.60 to 0.43 per user (p p p p Our data suggest that high molecular weight Bio-HA, as part of multimodal therapy, may be effective in providing longer-term pain relief with the reduction in pain therapy (CS injections and opioids) and increase in prescription pain medication-free days.

description: Spinal cord injury has evolved from a condition not to be treated, to one that is treated and rehabilitated. People with spinal cord injury now live longer active lives; however, barriers to participation such as attitudes and misunderstandings of spinal cord injury still exist. Acknowledging that media can shape attitudes and understanding of disability, primary aim of this study was to explore how spinal cord injury has been framed in Australian media through a newspaper content analysis. A secondary aim was to understand how framing changed overtime. Findings show consistent traditional news frames, with emphasis on disability and hardship. Progressive framing emerged in later years. Thematic analysis revealed two contrasting narratives tragedy and over-achievement, and a third financial burden. Traumatic spinal cord injury was most reported. This coverage, and exclusion of stories in between, has potential implications towards attitudes and understanding of spinal cord injury, and the lived experience.
Scales Lake park restoration

description: Scales Lake Park, located in Boonville, Indiana, is a popular area for camping, hiking,
and fishing. The lake is a popular attraction, bringing in more than 100,000 visitors during the
summer of 2017. The area is heavily forested with many amenities, including a beach, petting
zoo, three different camping sites and cabins, to name a few.
With its growing popularity, the park has reported a lack of proper parking for visitors
and a lack of housing for campers who want to rent the cabins in the park. The team has designed
three different feasibility parking lot designs in the form of gravel, geotextile and asphalt. These
design were made for two areas in the park—the baseball field and pavilion—which experience
heavy traffic during large events hosted by the park and heavy beach and pool traffic during the
summer. Furthermore, feasibility construction cost estimates were created for the designated
parking lot areas, additional cabins and wetland.
Additionally, there is unused land that was a former fish hatchery located east of the lake.
The team created two feasibility designs to refurbish the old historic fish hatchery into a
functional wetland. Further, the team conducted various water testing of the lake. The testing
was done in three stages as follows: USl Chemistry Department, Vanderburgh County Health
Department and USl Environmental Engineering Lab.
Overall, the project was to create a feasibility site development plan to improve Scales
Lake Park as it grows more in more in public popularity.
