description: Throughout history, recycling has been used to save money and resources. From melting down metals to refilling milk jugs, recycling was a huge part of society. In recent years, convenience has taken its mark on the nation and now recycling can use improvement. As landfills grow towards the clouds, the movement to protect our planet is growing more and more urgent. Thankfully numerous items can be recycled and different recycling programs are set up across the country. The five main recyclable items are paper, plastics, aluminum, glass and steel. These are recycled using various methods, but ultimately recycling these products cost less and use less energy than creating an entirely new product. There are three main types of recycling, dual-stream recycling, single-stream recycling, and a pay-as- you-throw recycling. However, the dual-stream recycling is considered the most common. The current recycling program used by Rutgers University is single stream recycling. Because this is new, it is evident that not everyone on campus is familiar with how this policy works. A study was preformed to monitor the four campuses of Rutgers New Brunswick for how people are using the single stream recycling. The results were presented to both the Rutgers Facilities department and Waste Management, the company who manages Rutgers’ waste and recycling. It was concluded that students and faculty on all four campuses are not in compliance with the single stream recycling. A suggestion has been made for a campaign to educate people on the proper way to recycle.

description: Up to now, powerful outlier robust tests for linear models are based on M-estimators and are quite complicated. On the other hand, the simple robust classical sign test usually provides very bad power for certain alternatives. We present a generalization of the sign test which is similarly easy to comprehend but much more powerful. It is based on K-sign depth, shortly denoted by K-depth. These so-called K-depth tests are motivated by simplicial regression depth, but are not restricted to regression problems. They can be applied as soon as the true model leads to independent residuals with median equal to zero. Moreover, general hypotheses on the unknown parameter vector can be tested. While the 2-depth test, i.e. the K-depth test for K=2, is equivalent to the classical sign test, K-depth test with K≥3 turn out to be much more powerful in many applications. A drawback of the K-depth test is its fairly high computational effort when implemented naively. However, we show how this inherent computational complexity can be reduced. In order to see why K-depth tests with K≥3 are more powerful than the classical sign test, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of its test statistic for residual vectors with only few sign changes, which is in particular the case for some alternatives the classical sign test cannot reject. In contrast, we also consider residual vectors with alternating signs, representing models that fit the data very well. Finally, we demonstrate the good power of the K-depth tests for some examples including high-dimensional multiple regression.

description: Abstract: Background: Chronic non-cancer pain is a common problem that is often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidity and disability. The effectiveness of a multi-disciplinary pain management program was tested in a 3 month before and after trial. Methods: Providers in an academic general medicine clinic referred patients with chronic non-cancer pain for participation in a program that combined the skills of internists, clinical pharmacists, and a psychiatrist. Patients were either receiving opioids or being considered for opioid therapy. The intervention consisted of structured clinical assessments, monthly follow-up, pain contracts, medication titration, and psychiatric consultation. Pain, mood, and function were assessed at baseline and 3 months using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale scale (CESD) and the Pain Disability Index (PDI). Patients were monitored for substance misuse. Results: Eighty-five patients were enrolled. Mean age was 51 years, 60% were male, 78% were Caucasian, and 93% were receiving opioids. Baseline average pain was 6.5 on an 11 point scale. The average CESD score was 24.0, and the mean PDI score was 47.0. Sixty-three patients (73%) completed 3 month follow-up. Fifteen withdrew from the program after identification of substance misuse. Among those completing 3 month follow-up, the average pain score improved to 5.5 (p = 0.003). The mean PDI score improved to 39.3 (p < 0.001). Mean CESD score was reduced to 18.0 (p < 0.001), and the proportion of depressed patients fell from 79% to 54% (p = 0.003). Substance misuse was identified in 27 patients (32%). Conclusions: A primary care disease management program improved pain, depression, and disability scores over three months in a cohort of opioid-treated patients with chronic non-cancer pain. Substance misuse and depression were common, and many patients who had substance misuse identified left the program when they were no longer prescribed opioids. Effective care of patients with chronic pain should include rigorous assessment and treatment of these comorbid disorders and intensive efforts to insure follow up.

description: Abstract Background The ascomycete fungus Ceratocystis cacaofunesta is the causal agent of wilt disease in cacao, which results in significant economic losses in the affected producing areas. Despite the economic importance of the Ceratocystis complex of species, no genomic data are available for any of its members. Given that mitochondria play important roles in fungal virulence and the susceptibility/resistance of fungi to fungicides, we performed the first functional analysis of this organelle in Ceratocystis using integrated “omics” approaches. Results The C. cacaofunesta mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) consists of a single, 103,147-bp circular molecule, making this the second largest mtDNA among the Sordariomycetes. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the presence of 15 conserved genes and 37 intronic open reading frames in C. cacaofunesta mtDNA. Here, we predicted the mitochondrial proteome (mtProt) of C. cacaofunesta, which is comprised of 1,124 polypeptides - 52 proteins that are mitochondrially encoded and 1,072 that are nuclearly encoded. Transcriptome analysis revealed 33 probable novel genes. Comparisons among the Gene Ontology results of the predicted mtProt of C. cacaofunesta, Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed no significant differences. Moreover, C. cacaofunesta mitochondria were isolated, and the mtProt was subjected to mass spectrometric analysis. The experimental proteome validated 27% of the predicted mtProt. Our results confirmed the existence of 110 hypothetical proteins and 7 novel proteins of which 83 and 1, respectively, had putative mitochondrial localization. Conclusions The present study provides the first partial genomic analysis of a species of the Ceratocystis genus and the first predicted mitochondrial protein inventory of a phytopathogenic fungus. In addition to the known mitochondrial role in pathogenicity, our results demonstrated that the global function analysis of this organelle is similar in pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, suggesting that its relevance in the lifestyle of these organisms should be based on a small number of specific proteins and/or with respect to differential gene regulation. In this regard, particular interest should be directed towards mitochondrial proteins with unknown function and the novel protein that might be specific to this species. Further functional characterization of these proteins could enhance our understanding of the role of mitochondria in phytopathogenicity.

description: We study the production of hadronic resonances and their interaction in the partonic and hadronic medium using the EPOS3 model, which employs the UrQMD model for the description of the hadronic phase. We investigate the centrality dependence of the yields and momentum distributions for various resonances (rho(770),K(892),phi(1020),Delta(1232),Sigma(1385),Lambda(1520),Xi(1530) and their antiparticles) in Pb-Pb collisions at sNN= 2.76 TeV. The predictions for K(892) and phi(1020) will be compared with the experimental data from the ALICE collaboration. The observed signal suppression of the K(892) with increasing centrality will be discussed with respect to the resonance interaction in the hadronic medium. The mean transverse momentum and other particle ratios such as phi(1020)/p and Omega/phi(1020) will be discussed with respect to additional contributions from the hadronic medium interactions.

description: An exploration of the interrelated issues of food waste and hunger in the United States, and finding solutions to limiting their prevalence in our local community
description: Food waste and hunger are prominent issues in this country which are frequently overlooked. The United States is considered one of the richer countries of this world, however, it too suffers from the negativity of hunger and food waste. Hunger and food waste are caused by different factors such as poverty, ignorance, unemployment, increased cost of living expenses, and the tremendous gap which exists between the rich and the poor of this country. The amount of food wasted by businesses, schools, restaurants, homes, and supermarkets is absolutely ridiculous and amounts to about 100 billion pounds of food waste every year in this country alone. Millions of people are starving in this country even though there is enough food being produced that can feed billions. This problem is overlooked by many, but several different groups such as City Harvest, Slow Food, Share Our Strength, Day-End Dough-Nation Program, Feeding America, and many others have decided to take food that would originally go to waste and donate it to people who need it. These groups have succeeded greatly and because of their success we have decided to try to do something similar in New Brunswick. We, as a group, decided to contact local businesses such as Panera Bread, Dunkin Donuts, and Subway Restaurants, and ask them to donate food, that would have been thrown out, to the people of New Brunswick who need it. We took this food and dropped it off to a local soup kitchen, Elijah’s Promise, with the hope that this will not only help the hungry people of this city but also influence others to help them.

description: Porous Al2O3/SiO2 microbeads (MBs) are propped as carriers for enzymes used in flow reactor setups for tandem enzymatic reactions. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT) perform sequential reactions. GOx catalyzes the conversion of glucose and O2 to gluconic acid and H2O2. CAT decomposes H2O2 to H2O and O2. Spherical MBs were fabricated via ionotropic gelation followed by rapid-sintering (1200 °C/5 min), featuring reasonably high open porosity (∼50%), appropriate specific surface area (30 ± 5 m2/g) and multi-modal pore sizes (d50 = 79 nm) for envisaged enzyme immobilizations. After activation and amino-silanization, GOx and CAT were successfully immobilized onto MBs applying an EDC/sulfo-NHS crosslinking reaction. Under varied pH and temperature conditions, the immobilized enzymes showed advantages towards harsh conditions (pH 2; 70 °C) and demonstrated high activities at neutral pH and 21 ± 2 °C (RT), serving as optimal conditions for flow experiments. By varying flow rates (0.1–6 ml/min) in individual reactor compartments, GOx- and CAT-functionalized MBs achieved satisfiable H2O2 conversion rates at 1.0 ml/min for 24 h. In tandem use, obtained H2O2 is constantly degraded over time, maintaining high enzymatic overall performances for two more operation cycles. The presented strategy is particularly interesting, as it can potentially be transferred to other multi-enzyme reaction systems.

Year: 2005

description: Abstract Background A relatively consistent body of research supports an inverse graded relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). More recently, researchers have proposed various life course SES hypotheses, which posit that the combination, accumulation, and/or interactions of different environments and experiences throughout life can affect adult risk of CVD. Different life course designs have been utilized to examine the impact of SES throughout the life course. This systematic review describes the four most common life course hypotheses, categorizes the studies that have examined the associations between life course SES and CVD according to their life course design, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the different designs, and summarizes the studies' findings. Methods This research reviewed 49 observational studies in the biomedical literature that included socioeconomic measures at a time other than adulthood as independent variables, and assessed subclinical CHD, incident CVD morbidity and/or mortality, and/or the prevalence of traditional CVD risk factors as their outcomes. Studies were categorized into four groups based upon life course design and analytic approach. The study authors' conclusions and statistical tests were considered in summarizing study results. Results Study results suggest that low SES throughout the life course modestly impacts CVD risk factors and CVD risk. Specifically, studies reviewed provided moderate support for the role of low early-life SES and elevated levels of CVD risk factors and CVD morbidity and mortality, little support for a unique influence of social mobility on CVD, and consistent support for the detrimental impact of the accumulation of negative SES experiences/conditions across the life course on CVD risk. Conclusions While the basic life course SES study designs have various methodologic and conceptual limitations, they provide an important approach from which to examine the influence of social factors on CVD development. Some limitations may be addressed through the analysis of study cohorts followed from childhood, the evaluation of CVD risk factors in early and middle adulthood, and the use of multiple SES measures and multiple life course analysis approaches in each life course study.

description: Silicon oxycarbide monoliths of different pore size distribution were fabricated by freeze-casting. The samples revealed a lamellar pore structure with an axial anisotropy. To evaluate the capillary transport abilities we performed wicking experiments. The sample weight measurement method was applied during the imbibition. The samples show deviations in permeability from 10% to 49% at different sample orientations that quantifies the impact of the anisotropy in the axial direction. The deviations were larger for the samples with smaller pore size. For these samples we also observed larger differences in the wicking behaviour. The samples with bigger pore size demonstrated higher permeability and faster wicking. Imbibition results at both sample orientations showed a good agreement with a prediction via the Lucas–Washburn equation with gravity effects. We demonstrate hereby, that our approach of macroscopic modelling predicts wicking behaviour in anisotropic structures reasonably well, providing a simple tool for further porous material investigations.

description: In order to decouple economic growth from global material consumption it is necessary to implement material efficiency strategies at the level of single enterprises and their supply chains, and to implement circular economy aspects. Manufacturing firms face multiple implementation challenges like cost limitations, competition, innovation and stakeholder pressure, and supplier and customer relationships, among others. An extended evaluation of triggers and barriers to improve material efficiency in manufacturing companies, along the sup-ply chain and concerning circular economy considerations is provided. This paper delivers an extended literature review, a critical discussion of the current situation and resulting challenges concerning material efficiency approaches in manufacturing supply chains. Finally, a conclusion and outlook on further research direction is given.
RU a Distracted Driver?

description: Bringing awareness to young college affiliates about the dangers of texting while driving
description: All New Jersey State laws prohibiting the use of a handheld phone while driving have proven to be a colossal failure. Motor Vehicle Collisions occur daily as a result of distracted driving. The National Safety Council warns drivers that they are four times more likely to be involved in crashes when using a cell phone behind the wheel. According to University of Utah researchers, David L. Strayer and Frank A. Drews (2004), “compared with single-task conditions, when drivers used cell phones their reactions were 18% slower, their following distance was 12% greater, and they took 17% longer to recover the speed that was lost following braking” (p. 640). In order to locally combat the societal problems associated with texting while driving, the Rutgers Community should be informed about the benefits of attending the University’s Defensive Driving Course. Awareness may be achieved through compelling and readily available Public Service Announcements (PSAs). Upon successful completion of the National Safety Council Defensive Driving Course, participants are qualified for a 5% minimum car insurance reduction, each year for up to three years. The participant may also be eligible for the removal of up to two points from his or her driving abstract through the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission. Additionally, this course is free to any University affiliate. Unfortunately, however, the majority of Rutgers students are unaware of the existence of this potentially life-saving course, and that it is funded by Risk Management to deter substandard driving behaviors. As an institution with one of the largest student populations, Rutgers has the opportunity to significantly reduce the amount of lives that are lost in car crashes. Because young drivers are particularly inexperienced, incoming freshmen should be notified about this course during all freshmen orientations.Moreover, it was proposed to Rutgers University Director of Administration and Public Safety, Vice President James Kohl, that the profound European “Texting While Driving” commercial should be linked to the homepage of every student’s Eden (my.rutgers.edu) account. This link will redirect students to a realistic video depicting the consequences of replying to a text message while driving. Not only will these measures cultivate cognizant drivers and safer NJ roadways, but they are sure to decrease the amount of deaths that are directly related to texting while driving.

Colony radius on CMD 50–55 mm after 72 h, mycelium covering the plate after 4 d at 25 C. Colony dense, circular with well-defined margin, aerial hyphae abundant, conidiation first noted on and around the inoculum, granules or pustules whitish, gradually green. Conidiophores trichoderma-like with phialides solitary or in whorls of 2–3(–4) arising from the main axis. Phialides lageniform or ampulliform, (4–)5–8 × 1.7–2.3(–2.7) μm, l/w (2–)2.3–3.6(–3.9), 1.1–1.7 μm wide at the base (n = 50). Conidia green, globose or subglobose, smooth, 2.8–3.5 × 2.7–3.3 μm, l/ w 1.0 –1.1 (n = 50). No distinct odor; no diffusing pigment observed.
Colony radius on PDA 45–48 mm after 72 h, mycelium covering the plate after 5 d at 25 C. Colony whitish, conspicuously dense with distinct circular outline. Aerial hyphae numerous, densely disposed and radial towards the margin. Conidiation starting on and around the inoculum in short minute shrubs, spreading, tufts or pustules with surface downy developing, farinose to floccose, later indistinctly and irregularly zonate, green. Chlamydospores terminal or intercalary, globose or ellipsoidal, (4.5–)5–6(–7) × (4.5–)5–5.5(–6.5) μm, l/ w 1.0 –1.5 (n = 40). No distinct odor; no diffusing pigment observed.

 Notes:— In the Harzianum clade, T. perviride is closely related to T. corneum and T. christiani (Figure 1). Trichoderma corneum differs in having verticillium-like conidiophores, larger phialides [8–24 × 1.5–3.0 μm], and narrower conidia [2.0–5.0 × 1.6–2.8 μm] (Doi 1972, Chaverri & Samuels 2003). Although T. christiani has similar conidia, it forms yellow-green conidiation zones on PDA, grows faster on SNA [43–47 mm], and produces larger phialides [(5–)6–11(–16) × (2.5–)2.7–3.5(–3.8) μm] (Jaklitsch & Voglmayr 2015).

description: Sterile neutrinos in the electronvolt mass range are hinted at by a number of terrestrial neutrino experiments. However, such neutrinos are highly incompatible with data from the Cosmic Microwave Background and large scale structure. This paper discusses how charging sterile neutrinos under a new pseudoscalar interaction can reconcile eV sterile neutrinos with terrestrial neutrino data. We show that this model can reconcile eV sterile neutrinos in cosmology, providing a fit to all available data which is way better than the standard $Λ$CDM model with one additional fully thermalized sterile neutrino. In particular it also prefers a value of the Hubble parameter much closer to the locally measured value.

description: Cytokine-mediated immune-cell recruitment and inflammation contribute to protection in respiratory virus infection. However, uncontrolled inflammation and the “cytokine storm” are hallmarks of immunopathology in severe infection. Cytokine storm is a broad term for a phenomenon with diverse characteristics and drivers, depending on host genetics, age, and other factors. Taking advantage of the differential use of virus-sensing systems by different cell types, we test the hypothesis that specifically blocking TLR7-dependent, immune cell–produced cytokines reduces influenza-related immunopathology. In a mouse model of severe influenza characterized by a type I interferon (IFN-I)–driven cytokine storm, TLR7 antagonist treatment leaves epithelial antiviral responses unaltered but acts through pDCs and monocytes to reduce IFN-I and other cytokines in the lung, thus ameliorating inflammation and severity. Moreover, even in the absence of IFN-I signaling, TLR7 antagonism reduces inflammation and mortality driven by monocyte-produced chemoattractants and neutrophil recruitment into the infected lung. Hence, TLR7 antagonism reduces diverse types of cytokine storm in severe influenza.

description: In this work, we have done a completely microscopic calculation using a many-body variational method based on the cluster expansion of energy to compute the asymmetry energy of nuclear matter. In our calculations, we have employed the $AV_{18}$ nuclear potential. We have also investigated the temperature and density dependence of asymmetry energy. Our results show that the asymmetry energy of nuclear matter depends on both density and temperature. We have also studied the effects of different terms in the asymmetry energy of nuclear matter. These investigations indicate that at different densities and temperatures, the contribution of parabolic term is very substantial with respect to the other terms. Therefore, we can conclude that the parabolic approximation is a relatively good estimation, and our calculated binding energy of asymmetric nuclear matter is in a relatively good agreement with that of semi-empirical mass formula. However, for the accurate calculations, it is better to consider the effects of other terms.

description: Abstract Background Individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD) often have reduced physical activity, which may increase the future risk of diabetes mellitus. Although diabetes is a risk factor for PAD, whether low ankle-brachial index (ABI) predates diabetes has not been studied. Methods We examined the association of ABI with incident diabetes using Cox proportional hazards models in the ARIC Study. ABI was measured in 12,247 black and white participants without prevalent diabetes at baseline (1987–1989). Incident diabetes cases were identified by blood glucose levels at three subsequent visits (1990–92, 1993–95, and 1996–98) or self-reported physician diagnosis or medication use at those visits or during annual phone interview afterward through 2011. Results A total of 3305 participants developed diabetes during a median of 21 years of follow-up. Participants with low (≤0.90) and borderline low (0.91–1.00) ABI had 30–40% higher risk of future diabetes as compared to those with ABI of 1.10–1.20 in the demographically adjusted model. The associations were attenuated after further adjustment for other potential confounders but remained significant for ABI 0.91–1.00 (HR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.04–1.31) and marginally significant for ABI ≤ 0.90 (HR = 1.19, 0.99–1.43). Although the association was largely consistent across subgroups, a stronger association was seen in participants without hypertension, those with normal fasting glucose, and those with a history of stroke compared to their counterparts. Conclusions Low ABI was modestly but independently associated with increased risk of incident diabetes in the general population. Clinical attention should be paid to the glucose trajectory among people with low ABI but without diabetes.
Reexamining generalized Chaplygin gas with the sign-changeable interaction

description: In this paper, we reexamine the generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) cosmology with the sign-changeable interaction. The dynamical analysis show that there exists de-Sitter attractors in this model, which means that the late-time behaviors of the model is insensitive to the initial condition and thus alleviates the coincidence problem. Furthermore, we find that this interaction oscillates and tends to zero finally by numerical calculations of the nonlinear equations. In some specific cases of initial conditions, the interaction is positive (the energy transition from dark energy to dark matter) at high redshift while it is negative (the energy transition from dark matter to dark energy) at low redshift for suitable ranges of the parameters.

description: This article presents the sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to the lepton-flavour-violating decays of $τ\to 3μ$. A method utilising the production of $τ$ leptons via $W\toτν$ decays is used. This method is applied to the sample of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2012. No event is observed passing the selection criteria, and the observed (expected) upper limit on the $τ$ lepton branching fraction into three muons, ${\rm Br}(τ\to 3μ)$, is $3.76\times 10^{-7}$ ($3.94\times 10^{-7}$) at 90% confidence level.

description: Abstract
                Background
                When conducting a survival analysis, researchers might consider two broad classes of models: nonparametric models and parametric models. While nonparametric models are more flexible because they make few assumptions regarding the shape of the data distribution, parametric models are more efficient. Here we sought to make concrete the difference in efficiency between these two model types using effective sample size.
                Methods
                We compared cumulative risk of AIDS or death estimated using four survival models – nonparametric, generalized gamma, Weibull, and exponential – and data from 1164 HIV patients who were alive and AIDS-free in 1995. We added pseudo-observations to the sample until the spread of the 95% confidence limits for the nonparametric model became less than that for the parametric models.
                Results
                We found the 3-parameter generalized gamma to be a good fit to the nonparametric risk curve, but the 1-parameter exponential both underestimated and overestimated the risk at different times. Using two year-risk as an example, we had to add 354, 593, and 3960 observations for the nonparametric model to be as efficient as the generalized gamma, Weibull, and exponential models, respectively.
                Conclusions
                These added observations represent the hidden observations underlying the efficiency gained through parametric model form assumptions. If the model is correctly specified, the efficiency gain may be justified, as appeared to be the case for the generalized gamma model. Otherwise, precision will be improved, but at the cost of specification bias, as was the case for the exponential model.
