description: In this paper, we highlight the class of spatially coupled codes and discuss their applicability to long-haul and submarine optical communication systems. We first demonstrate how to optimize irregular spatially coupled LDPC codes for their use in optical communications with limited decoding hardware complexity and then present simulation results with an FPGA-based decoder where we show that very low error rates can be achieved and that conventional block-based LDPC codes can be outperformed. In the second part of the paper, we focus on the combination of spatially coupled LDPC codes with different demodulators and detectors, important for future systems with adaptive modulation and for varying channel characteristics. We demonstrate that SC codes can be employed as universal, channel-agnostic coding schemes.

description: A recent ecological study on the sandy beaches of Qeshm Island (in the Persian Gulf) yielded Ocypode sinensis (Dai, Song & Yang, 1985) specimens. This species is a new record that had not been recorded in the Persian Gulf to date. This finding considerably extends the distribution of O. sinensis westward to sandy coasts of the Persian Gulf, which is the most westerly region in the Arabian Sea. The result of this study will help in determining strategies for further conserva- tion of O. sinensis in Iranian sandy beaches.

description: We explicate a number of notions of algebraic laminations existing in the literature, particularly in the context of an exact sequence $$1\to H\to G \to Q \to 1 $$ of hyperbolic groups. These laminations arise in different contexts: existence of Cannon-Thurston maps; closed geodesics exiting ends of manifolds; dual to actions on $\R-$trees. We use the relationship between these laminations to prove quasiconvexity results for finitely generated infinite index subgroups of $H$, the normal subgroup in the exact sequence above.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of short sleep duration among women in the first year postpartum with adiposity and cardio-metabolic status at 3-years postpartum. We studied 586 women in Project Viva, a prospective cohort. At 6 months and 1 year postpartum, women reported the number of hours they slept in a 24-hour period, from which we calculated a weighted average of daily sleep. We used multivariable regression analyses to predict the independent effects of short sleep duration (≤ 5 h/d v.> 5 h/d) on adiposity, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and adipokines at 3-years postpartum. Women’s mean (SD) hours of daily sleep in the first year postpartum was 6.7 (0.97) hours. After adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, education, parity, pre-pregnancy body mass index, and excessive gestational weight gain, we found that postpartum sleep ≤ 5 h/d was associated with higher postpartum weight retention (β 1.50 kg; 95% CI: 0.02, 2.86), higher subscapular + triceps skinfold thickness (β 3.94 mm; 95% CI: 1.27, 6.60) and higher waist circumference (β 3.10 cm; 95% CI: 1.25, 4.94) at 3-years postpartum. We did not observe associations of short sleep duration with measures of cardio-metabolic status at 3-years postpartum. In conclusion, short sleep duration in the first year postpartum is associated with higher adiposity at 3-years postpartum.

description: This paper reports the presence of microplastic in the stomachs of the Mediterranean green crab, Carcinus aestuarii Nardo, 1857. The crabs were collected from six sites chosen in the Çardak Lagoon (Çanakkale Strait). Plastic fibers were observed in the stomach contents of three male individuals. Since C. aestuarii is an important food for fish and birds in estuarine and lagoon areas, microplastics can go up to the trophic levels by entering the food chain.

description: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and reports estimate that American children consume up to 25% of calories from snacks. Several animal models of obesity exist, but studies are lacking that compare high-fat diets (HFD) traditionally used in rodent models of diet-induced obesity (DIO) to diets consisting of food regularly consumed by humans, including high-salt, high-fat, low-fiber, energy dense foods such as cookies, chips, and processed meats. To investigate the obesogenic and inflammatory consequences of a cafeteria diet (CAF) compared to a lard-based 45% HFD in rodent models, male Wistar rats were fed HFD, CAF or chow control diets for 15 weeks. Body weight increased dramatically and remained significantly elevated in CAF-fed rats compared to all other diets. Glucose- and insulin-tolerance tests revealed that hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and glucose intolerance were exaggerated in the CAF-fed rats compared to controls and HFD-fed rats. It is well-established that macrophages infiltrate metabolic tissues at the onset of weight gain and directly contribute to inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity. Although both high fat diets resulted in increased adiposity and hepatosteatosis, CAF-fed rats displayed remarkable inflammation in white fat, brown fat and liver compared to HFD and controls. In sum, the CAF provided a robust model of human metabolic syndrome compared to traditional lard-based HFD, creating a phenotype of exaggerated obesity with glucose intolerance and inflammation. This model provides a unique platform to study the biochemical, genomic and physiological mechanisms of obesity and obesity-related disease states that are pandemic in western civilization today.

description: We present a coherent Bayesian framework for selection of the most likely model from the five genetic models (genotypic, additive, dominant, co-dominant, and recessive) commonly used in genetic association studies. The approach uses a polynomial parameterization of genetic data to simultaneously fit the five models and save computations. We provide a closed-form expression of the marginal likelihood for normally distributed data, and evaluate the performance of the proposed method and existing method through simulated and real genome-wide data sets.

description: Increased values of multiple adiposity-related anthropometric traits are important risk factors for many common complex diseases. We performed a genome-wide association (GWA) study for four quantitative traits related to body size and adiposity (body mass index [BMI], weight, waist circumference, and height) in a cohort of 1,792 adult Filipino women from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. This is the first GWA study of anthropometric traits in Filipinos, a population experiencing a rapid transition into a more obesogenic environment. In addition to identifying suggestive evidence of additional SNP association signals (P < 10−5), we replicated (P < 0.05, same direction of additive effect) associations previously reported in European populations of both BMI and weight with MC4R and FTO, of BMI with BDNF, and of height with EFEMP1, ZBTB38, and NPPC, but none with waist circumference. We also replicated loci reported in Japanese or Korean populations as associated with BMI (OTOL1) and height (HIST1H1PS2, C14orf145, GPC5). A difference in local linkage disequilibrium between European and Asian populations suggests a narrowed association region for BDNF, while still including a proposed functional non-synonymous amino acid substitution variant (rs6265, Val66Met). Finally, we observed significant evidence (P < 0.0042) for age-by-genotype interactions influencing BMI for rs17782313 (MC4R) and rs9939609 (FTO), and for a study year-by-genotype interaction for rs4923461 (BDNF). Our results show that several genetic risk factors are associated with anthropometric traits in Filipinos and provide further insight into the effects of BDNF, FTO, and MC4R on BMI.

description: Field experiments with Aquamark 100 and Aquamark 200 pingers were conducted in the bottom set gill net fishery for turbot in the Black Sea coast between March and June 2012. The aim of the experiment was to evaluate (i) the effectiveness of two types of pingers to reduce by catch rate of harbour porpoises, and (ii) the effects of pingers on the catches of the target fish species (Psetta maxima) and non-target fish species (Raja clavata, Suqualus acanthias and Trigla lucerna) in the turbot set gillnet fishery. A total of 246 specimens (95 P. maxima, 138 R. clavata, 8 P. phocoena, 4 S. acanthias and 1 T. lucerna) were caught during both Aquamark 100 and Aquamark 200 pingers trials. Catches of Psetta maxima and other fish species (Raja clavata, Suqualus acanthias and Trigla lucerna) were not affected by the sound of the pingers in the active nets. Catch of target P. maxima and non-target fish R. clavata were similar as were also for most caught species. 6 P. phocoena (2 in control and 3 in active nets with Aquamark 100) and 2 P. phocoena (1 in control and 1 in active nets with Aquamark 200) were caught in controls and active nets. There are no statistical differences between active and passive net catch per unit effort among the fish species and also cetaceans. As a conclusion, the acoustic signals clearly showed that these pinger types did not reduce by catch of harbour porpoise from the turbot gill net in the eastern Black Sea coasts, Turkey. The acoustic signals of both pinger types also did not affect the catch of target and non-target fish species.

description: This review reports shell morphometric relationships (height/length and width/length) for the most common and abundant bivalve species found in coastal areas of the Gulf of Gabes (southern Tunisia). Systematic surveys were carried out from May 2012 to August 2014 using quadrants (0.25 m^) and shovels, on soft bottoms in the littoral zone down to 1 m depth. For this particular study, a total of 7641 bivalves were sampled, belonging to 12 species distributed in 8 Families. Almost all regressions (79.2%) were highly significant (P < 0.001), the exceptions being the H/L relationships for four bivalve species (16.6%, p > 0.05) and the W/L relationship for Venerupis decussata (4.2%, 0.01 < P < 0.05). In addition, the results revealed that the shell morphometric relationships indicated negative allometries (H/L = 9 species; W/L = 3 species), positive allometries (W/L = 7 species) and isometries (H/L = 3 species; W/L = 2 species). Data were compared with some morphometric relationships available for the same species in other geographical areas and several ecological hypotheses or explanations were formulated for the distinct types of growth exhibited by different bivalve species. Data here present are essential for management and conservation for these flagship species.

description: We study optimal estimation for sparse principal component analysis when the number of non-zero elements is small but on the same order as the dimension of the data. We employ approximate message passing (AMP) algorithm and its state evolution to analyze what is the information theoretically minimal mean-squared error and the one achieved by AMP in the limit of large sizes. For a special case of rank one and large enough density of non-zeros Deshpande and Montanari [1] proved that AMP is asymptotically optimal. We show that both for low density and for large rank the problem undergoes a series of phase transitions suggesting existence of a region of parameters where estimation is information theoretically possible, but AMP (and presumably every other polynomial algorithm) fails. The analysis of the large rank limit is particularly instructive.

description: Reproductive aspects of the longnose stingray, Hypanus guttatus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801), from the northeastern Brazil were estimated from 634 individuals (366 females and 268 males). Sexual dimorphism was found for the species with females reaching larger sizes than males. Females and males reached sexual maturity at 67.1 ± 6.2 and 61.0 ± 4.3 cm, respectively. In females, oocyte diameter and gonadosomatic index indicated that ovulation occurs throughout the whole year. Pregnant females were found in almost all months (except in March and June) with fecundity not exceeding five embryos per litter. The longnose stingray appears to be reproductively active all year round in the studied area with low fecundity.

description: The trophic behavior of the black anglerfish Lophius budegassa (Spinola, 1807) of the Algerian coast (Southwestern Mediterranean Sea) was investigated from the stomach contents of 105 specimens collected from both scientific trawl surveys (2012-2013) and commercial landings (2010-2013). The diet was studied by sex and size. A total of 40 preys were determined in the stomach of black anglerfish: 29 Teleost fish, 9 Crustaceans and 2 Cephalopods. Black anglerfish presents a large food spectrum (Shannon-Weaver index = 3.1, dominance = 0.06). The principal preys are Trachurus trachurus (IRI = 537.4) and Mullus barbatus (IRI = 308.6). The proportion of empty stomach was low (18.1%) all the year while the feeding intensity changes among seasons. Diet composition changed regarding size, small specimens fed essentially on small fish such as Gadiculus argenteus and Leuseurigobius suerii, intermediate and great specimens fed on larger fish (Trachurus trachurus, Mullus barbatus and Merluccius merluccius) and crustacean (Parapenaeus longirostris, Aristeus antennatus). By sex, the diet suggests that females feed on more shallow preys than males. The black anglerfish is an opportunistic predator, feeding on spatial available preys.

description: Four amateur naturalists and underwater photographers established sixty first records and discovered three species probably new to science at Reunion Island (Indian Ocean) between January 2010 and January 2016, although the marine environment of this island has been studied for some forty years by professional scientists. These results were achieved after snorkeling in coastal areas at a maximum depth of 2 m. All records were validated by professional experts of the relevant groups, with appropriate reservations for photograph-based identifications. The analysis of the methodology used by this group of reef observers highlights three central elements: individual initiative, regular random-path snorkeling practice by local observers, and availability of correspondent observers with sufficient naturalist skills to select accurate data and manage an optimal link with professional scientists. Such achievement emphasizes the efficiency of a citizen- based approach aimed at creating or improving local fauna inventories and discovering new species. Considering that ecological data can be collected during observers' random-path snorkeling sessions, such a project is also of interest for local conservationists and marine ecosystems managers. We therefore recommend the inclusion of these practices in the process of designing standardised observation programs aimed at non-professionals everywhere snorkeling can be practiced, especially in under-studied regions.

description: The R statistical environment has become one of the most frequently used analysis platforms in (bio)statistical data analysis. Several software solutions exist also in R to handle, process and analyze metabolomics data or mass spectrometry (MS) data in general, but they mostly don't share data structures hence preventing interoperability. The objective of the R for Mass Spectrometry initiative is to provide a data analysis and development environment that is flexible (it must support user-centered applications such as data exploration and analysis, and developer-centered requirements such as enabling novel method development), efficient and scalable (applicable to small and large data sets on desktops, laptops or HPC systems), reproducible (to support reproducible research practices) and thoroughly tested and documented. As first packages we implemented the MsCoreUtils package that provides core functionality for MS data which is independent of any data structure, and the Spectra package to represent MS spectra data independently of its storage or origin and provide user functionality to visualize and process this data efficiently, including centroiding, smoothing, combining, normalizing, comparing

description: Few studies have been conducted that have examined the long-term effect of different doses of physical activity (PA) on weight change in overweight adults without a prescribed reduction in energy intake. This study examined the effect of different prescribed doses of PA on weight change, body composition, fitness and PA in overweight adults. 278 overweight adults (BMI: 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2; Age: 18 to 55 years) with no contraindications to PA were randomized to one of three intervention groups for a period of 18 months. MOD-PA was prescribed 150 min/wk and HIGH-PA 300 min/wk of PA. SELF was provided a self-help intervention to increase PA. There was no recommendation to reduce energy intake. MOD-PA and HIGH-PA was delivered in a combination of in-person and telephone contacts across 18 months. 18-month percent weight change was −0.7±4.6% in SELF, −0.9±4.7% in MOD-PA, and −1.2±5.6% in HIGH-PA. Subjects were retrospectively grouped as remaining within ±3% of baseline weight (WT-STABLE), losing >3% of baseline weight (WT-LOSS), or gaining >3% of baseline weight (WT-GAIN) for secondary analyses. 18-month weight change was 0.0±1.3% for WT-STABLE, +5.4±2.6% for WT-GAIN, and −7.4±3.6% for WT-LOSS. 18-month change in PA was 78.2±162.6 min/wk for WT-STABLE, 74.7±274.3 for WT-GAIN, and 161.9±252.6 min/wk for WT-LOSS. The weight change observed in WT-LOSS was a result of higher PA combined with improved scores on the Eating Behavior Inventory, reflecting the adoption of eating behaviors to facilitate weight loss. Strategies to facilitate the maintenance of these behaviors are needed to optimize weight control.

description: The goal of this work was to study the influence of dynamite used for b last fishing from July 2006 to July 2007 on marine applications and determine the physico-chemical parameters of seawater b efore and after b lasting off the coast of Hekim Island located in İzmir Bay, Turkey. Field applications consisted of four steps; these were b last operations, sampling of water quality and sub stratum and lab oratory analysis. Dynamite, which was made from artificial fertilizer, sulfur and diesel, was b lown up using a fuse and detonator at 2 to 3 meters' depth in three different sub stratum (sea grass, sandy and rocky). According to the results of CTD measurements, temperature and salinity values did not change significantly. Before b lasting, dissolved oxygen level was measured as 12.63 mg.L-1 at pH 8.29, while dissolved oxygen was measured as 13.32 mg.L-1 at pH 8.32 after the b lasting. Results ob tained from the present study showed that the b lasts l fatally affected many fish species in a large-scale area and this effect occurred due to fish's skeletons b eing damaged b y the high pressure. However, changes in physicochemical parameter levels were found to b e too low to cause damage to the fish.

Our estimations of the decay widths $τ\rightarrow K^{*}(892) (K^{*'}(1410)) ν_τ$ are in satisfactory agreement with experimantal data. In the paper, the decay widths $τ\rightarrow ρ(770) (ρ'(1450)) ν_τ$ are also calculated.

description: Recent US work identifies “metabolically healthy overweight” and “metabolically at risk normal weight” individuals. Less is known for modernizing countries with recent increased obesity. Fasting blood samples, anthropometry and blood pressure from 8,233 adults aged 18–98 in the 2009 nationwide China Health and Nutrition Survey, were used to determine prevalence of overweight (Asian cut point, BMI≥23 kg/m2) and five risk factors [pre-diabetes/diabetes (HbA1c≥5.7%) inflammation (hsCRP ≥3 mg/L), pre-hypertension/hypertension (SBP/DBP≥130/85 mmHg), high triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (<40 (men)/<50 mg/dL (women)]. Sex-stratified, logistic and multinomial logistic regression models estimated concurrent obesity and cardiometabolic risk, with and without abdominal obesity, adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, urbanicity, and income. Irrespective of urbanicity, 78.3% of the sample had ≥1 elevated cardiometabolic risk factor (normal weight: 33.2% had ≥1 elevated risk factor; overweight: 5.7% had none). At age 18–30, 47.4% had no elevated risk factors, which dropped to 6% by age 70, largely due to age-related increase in hypertension risk (18–30 years: 11%, >70 years: 73%). Abdominal obesity was highly predictive of metabolic risk, irrespective of overweight (e.g., “metabolically at risk overweight” relative to “metabolically healthy normal weight” [men: Relative Risk Ratio (RRR) =39.06; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 23.47, 65.00; women: RRR=22.26; 95% CI: 17.49, 28.33]). To conclude, a large proportion of Chinese adults have metabolic abnormalities. High hypertension risk with age, irrespective of obesity underlies the low prevalence of metabolically healthy overweight. Screening for cardiometabolic-related outcomes dependent upon overweight will likely miss a large portion of the Chinese at-risk population.

description: We consider a particular one-parameter family of q-analogues of multiple zeta values. The intrinsic q-regularisation permits an extension of these q-multiple zeta values to negative integers. Renormalised multiple zeta values satisfying the quasi-shuffle product are obtained using an Hopf algebraic Birkhoff factorisation together with minimal subtraction.

description: The knowledge of b ehavior of coastal fish during their reproductive season is an important information for the management of commercially important species and for the design of marine protected areas. This paper couples for the first time data on the movements, daily activity and home range of the white seab ream, Diplodus sargus to data on its gonadal cycle. Five white seab reams caught along the Zingaro coast in the Gulf of Castellammare (NW Sicily, western Mediterranean) were tagged with miniaturized transmitters, released close to the fishing site and their movements monitored with an array of 13 receivers. The analysis of the acoustic detection data showed that (1) the tagged fishes had a smaller home range than previously known, possib ly due to the seab ed morphology in the study site, and (2) they moved to a deeper site in a very restricted and well identified time period. The spatial and temporal characteristics of such unusual downward movement suggest that it corresponded to spawning aggregation episodes.

description: We compared pre- to post-pregnancy change in weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, diet and physical activity in women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Using the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study we identified women with at least one pregnancy during 20 years of follow-up (n=1,488 with 3,125 pregnancies). We used linear regression with generalized estimating equations to compare pre- to post-pregnancy changes in health behaviors and anthropometric measurements between 137 GDM pregnancies and 1,637 non GDM pregnancies, adjusted for parity, age at delivery, outcome measure at the pre-pregnancy exam, race, education, mode of delivery, and interval between delivery and post-pregnancy examination.Compared with women without GDM in pregnancy, women with GDM had higher pre-pregnancy mean weight (158.3 vs. 149.6 lb, p=0.011) and BMI (26.7 vs. 25.1 kg/m2, p=0.002), but non-significantly lower total daily caloric intake and similar levels of physical activity. Both GDM and non GDM groups had higher average postpartum weight of 7–8 lbs and decreased physical activity on average 1.4 years after pregnancy. Both groups similarly increased total caloric intake but reduced fast food frequency. Pre- to post- pregnancy changes in body weight, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity and diet did not differ between women with and without GDM in pregnancy.Following pregnancy women with and without GDM increased caloric intake, BMI and weight, decreased physical activity, but reduced their frequency of eating fast food. Given these trends, postpartum lifestyle interventions, particularly for women with GDM, are needed to reduce obesity and diabetes risk.
Mechanisms and Geochemical Models of Core Formation

description: The formation of the Earth's core is a consequence of planetary accretion and processes in the Earth's interior. The mechanical process of planetary differentiation is likely to occur in large, if not global, magma oceans created by the collisions of planetary embryos. Metal-silicate segregation in magma oceans occurs rapidly and efficiently unlike grain scale percolation according to laboratory experiments and calculations. Geochemical models of the core formation process as planetary accretion proceeds are becoming increasingly realistic. Single stage and continuous core formation models have evolved into multi-stage models that are couple to the output of dynamical models of the giant impact phase of planet formation. The models that are most successful in matching the chemical composition of the Earth's mantle, based on experimentally-derived element partition coefficients, show that the temperature and pressure of metal-silicate equilibration must increase as a function of time and mass accreted and so must the oxygen fugacity of the equilibrating material. The latter can occur if silicon partitions into the core and through the late delivery of oxidized material. Coupled dynamical accretion and multi-stage core formation models predict the evolving mantle and core compositions of all the terrestrial planets simultaneously and also place strong constraints on the bulk compositions and oxidation states of primitive bodies in the protoplanetary disk.
