description: BACKGROUND:The aim of this study is to validate a previously published consensus-based quality indicator set for the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) at intensive care units (ICUs) in Europe and to study its potential for quality measurement and improvement. METHODS:Our analysis was based on 2006 adult patients admitted to 54 ICUs between 2014 and 2018, enrolled in the CENTER-TBI study. Indicator scores were calculated as percentage adherence for structure and process indicators and as event rates or median scores for outcome indicators. Feasibility was quantified by the completeness of the variables. Discriminability was determined by the between-centre variation, estimated with a random effect regression model adjusted for case-mix severity and quantified by the median odds ratio (MOR). Statistical uncertainty of outcome indicators was determined by the median number of events per centre, using a cut-off of 10. RESULTS:A total of 26/42 indicators could be calculated from the CENTER-TBI database. Most quality indicators proved feasible to obtain with more than 70% completeness. Sub-optimal adherence was found for most quality indicators, ranging from 26 to 93% and 20 to 99% for structure and process indicators. Significant (p

description: Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) imaging is an essential analytical method in biomedical research. The limited photon-budget experimentally available, however, imposes compromises between spatiotemporal and biochemical resolutions, photodamage and phototoxicity. The study of photon-statistics in biochemical imaging is thus important in guiding the efficient design of instrumentation and assays. Here, we show a comparative analysis of photon-statistics in FRET imaging demonstrating how the precision of FRET imaging varies vastly with imaging parameters. Therefore, we provide analytical and numerical tools for assay optimization. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a very robust technique with excellent photon-efficiencies. However, we show that also intensity-based FRET imaging can reach high precision by utilizing information from both donor and acceptor fluorophores.

description: Owing to their large absorption cross-sections and high photoluminescence quantum yields, lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are regarded as a promising candidate for various optoelectronics applications. However, easy degradation of PQDs in water and in a humid environment is a critical hindrance for applications. Here we develop a Pb-S bonding approach to synthesize water-resistant perovskite@silica nanodots keeping their emission in water for over six weeks. A two-photon whispering-gallery mode laser device made of these ultra-stable nanodots retain 80% of its initial emission quantum yield when immersed in water for 13 h, and a two-photon random laser based on the perovskite@silica nanodots powder could still operate after the nanodots were dispersed in water for up to 15 days. Our synthetic approach opens up an entirely new avenue for utilizing PQDs in aqueous environment, which will significantly broaden their applications not only in optoelectronics but also in bioimaging and biosensing.

Living collections: care and curation at Drosophila stock centres.
Creators: name: Bangham, Jenny
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2019

description: Biological stock centres collect, care for and distribute living organisms for scientific research. In the 1990s, several of the world's largest Drosophila (fruit fly) stock centres were closed or threatened with closure. This paper reflects on why this happened, and uses the visibility of these endings to examine how stock centre collections are managed, who maintains them and how they are kept valuable and accessible to biologists. One stock centre came under threat because of challenges in caring for flies and monitoring the integrity of stocks. Another was criticized for keeping too many 'archival' stocks, an episode that reveals what it can mean for a living scientific collection to remain 'relevant' to a research community. That centre also struggled with the administrative and documentary practices that have proved crucial for sustaining a collection's meaning, value and availability. All of the stock centres in this story faced challenges of how to pay for care and curation, engaging with a problem that has been discussed by biologists and their funders since the 1940s: what are the best models for stock provision, and how could these models be changed?

description: Measurements of age, growth, and reproduction are excellent tools for determining the ecological role and impact of a species within an ecosystem. Longnose Gar Lepisosteus osseus is a large, ubiquitous top predator in fresh and saline waters of the eastern United States. Even though the species is common, their basic biology has been largely uncharacterized in brackish and marine waters. Specimens were collected from two estuaries: Winyah Bay and Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, from May 2012 through July 2013 to examine age, growth, and reproduction in tidally influenced systems. This species is fairly long-lived, with maximum ages of 17 and 25 years for males and females, respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth model yielded significantly higher growth rates for males than for females. Reproductive histology and the gonadosomatic index indicated that Longnose Gars exhibit determinate fecundity and spawn in late spring following a long development period during fall and winter. These life history parameters provide valuable insight into the basic biology of Longnose Gars and into how they function in estuarine environments. Further research on the precise timing and location of spawning movement, as well as daily movement patterns of this species, would provide a more comprehensive knowledge of Longnose Gar reproductive biology.

description: The Atlantic Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus is an important component of biodiversity along the Atlantic coast of North America, but most populations have been decimated by habitat degradation and chronic overfishing. Historically, spawning populations existed in all major Atlantic coast rivers from the St. Lawrence River, Quebec, to the St. Johns River, Florida, but fisheries surveys conducted in the past two decades suggest that several populations at the southern extent of this range are now extirpated or have declined to remnant status. Our objective was to assess the abundance and genetic character of Atlantic Sturgeon in the Satilla River, Georgia. Using entanglement gears, we expended over 2,800 h of sampling effort and captured a total of 193 Atlantic Sturgeon in tidally influenced reaches of the river during 2008–2010. Of the 157 fish that were collected in 2010, 72 were identified as river-resident juveniles (ages 0–1). Genetic analyses of a subset (n = 61) of these juveniles revealed (1) depauperate levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype diversity and (2) the presence of large family units based on microsatellite DNA multilocus genotypes, collectively suggesting that very few parents produced the 2008 year-class. The mtDNA and microsatellite analyses both indicated that juveniles in the Satilla River population were genetically distinct from other populations in the South Atlantic Distinct Population Segment. Atlantic Sturgeon life history characteristics and the present results suggest that sampled juveniles from the 2008 year-class were the offspring of a small remnant pool of Satilla River adults; however, a full description of the population's genetic character and origin will require additional juvenile samples from future year-classes.

description: Swine manure is a valuable source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After solid–liquid separation, the resulting swine wastewater can be concentrated by reverse osmosis (RO) to produce a nitrogen–potassium rich fertilizer. However, swine wastewater has a high fouling potential and an efficient cleaning strategy is required. In this study, a semi-commercial farm scale RO spiral-wound membrane unit was fouled while processing larger volumes of swine wastewater during realistic cyclic operations over a 9-week period. Membrane cleaning was performed daily. Three different cleaning solutions, containing SDS, SDS+EDTA and NaOH were compared. About 99% of the fouling resistance could be removed by rinsing the membrane with water. Flux recoveries (FRs) above 98% were achieved for all the three cleaning solutions after cleaning. No significant differences in FR were found between the cleaning solutions. The NaOH solution thus is a good economical option for cleaning RO spiral-wound membranes fouled with swine wastewater. Soaking the membrane for 3 days in permeate water at the end of each week further improved the FR. Furthermore, a fouling resistance model for predicting the fouling rate, permeate flux decay and cleaning cycle periods based on processing time and swine wastewater conductivity was developed.

description: In the framework of the project LIFE-SPARC, one of the important goals is to investigate the effects of various engineering measures, such as de-embankments and flood control areas, in order to prepare the Scheldt estuary against climate change. There are eight project areas, including five de-embankments and three FCA-CRT areas, defined in the project. For assessing their influences on the hydrodynamics and evaluating the safety against flooding, a detailed 3D model is built based on the existing Scaldis 2013 model, with necessary mesh refinements and updates of bathymetry. Two different scenarios are studied, a normal scenario with average tide and upstream discharges, and a storm surge scenario from the event of Sinterklaas storm, in order to have the full picture of the possible effects from these measures.In nature, the de-embankments and the FCA-CRT areas will silt up. In order to understand the long-term evolution of these areas, an empirical sedimentation model is set up, with its inputs derived from the numerical model.The results show that the eight project areas are effective in the protection of the estuary against flooding, and can reduce the high water level significantly in a storm surge event. The sedimentation rates estimated by the empirical model suggest that it will take several decades before these areas silt up. Therefore, they are capable of being in operation until 2050 and likely many years after that.

description: We investigated the physiological response of the endangered Tidewater Goby Eucyclogobius newberryi to the presence of Threespine Sticklebacks Gasterosteus aculeatus (native to California) and Rainwater Killifish Lucania parva (nonnative). A fully factorial experimental design was used to examine species assemblage effects on juvenile fish over a 28-d period. Growth characteristics (weight, SL, and relative condition factor [Kn]) and stress hormone levels (cortisol) were assessed under ample food conditions and at a salinity of 15‰. Weight and SL of Tidewater Goby increased throughout the experiment; growth did not differ in relation to fish assemblage treatment, but significant differences in growth were observed between sampling dates within the experiment. Rainwater Killifish exhibited marginal increases in weight, SL, and Kn, but these increases were not different among assemblage treatments or over time. For Threespine Sticklebacks, weight and SL increased during the final 2 weeks of the experiment, resulting in significant differences over the entire experimental period; however, growth characteristics of this species did not differ among assemblage treatments. Cortisol levels in all three species were not significantly affected by assemblage treatment. The present results indicate that juvenile Tidewater Goby are not adversely affected by native Threespine Sticklebacks or nonnative Rainwater Killifish under stable abiotic conditions in the absence of food limitation.

The fouling was found to be a function of feed concentration and processing time. About 99% of the fouling resistance could be removed by rinsing the membrane with water. This indicates that most fouling was due to formation of a transient gel layer and concentration polarization. Flux recoveries (FR) above 98% were achieved for all the three cleaning solutions after cleaning. No significant difference in FR was found between the cleaning solutions. The NaOH solution thus is a good economical option for cleaning RO spiral-wound membranes fouled with swine wastewater.

description: The Civil War brought about many changes in Virginian society, including the area around City Point, Virginia. These changes greatly effected the manner in which plantation owners managed their farms. Plantation owners had to find new ways of obtaining and exploiting their labor, and protecting their resources. The goal of this report is to explore those changes between the years 1851 and 1872 on the Eppes' plantations. I examine how Dr. Eppes structured his landscape to aid in controlling his productive resources, and the relationship he held with African-Americans. Part of exploring that relationship will be examining the living conditions of African-Americans on the Eppes' plantations as slaves and freedmen laborers. Dr. Eppes' home, Appomattox Manor, and its grounds now make up the City Point Unit of the Petersburg National Battlefield. This report will place the City Point Unit into its larger historic context. Though the unit is best known as the location of General Grant's headquarters during the Siege of Petersburg, its history is far more extensive. In this report, I place City Point and Appomattox Manor in the plantation context which surrounded them before and after the war. It will show how the Civil War was not an isolated event, but was effected by and affected the social world around it.

description: Abstract–This study uses experimentally determined plagioclase-melt D values to estimate the trace element concentrations of Sr, Hf, Ga, W, Mo, Ru, Pd, Au, Ni, and Co in a crystallizing lunar magma ocean at the point of plagioclase flotation. Similarly, experimentally determined metal-silicate partition experiments combined with a composition model for the Moon are used to constrain the concentrations of W, Mo, Ru, Pd, Au, Ni, and Co in the lunar magma ocean at the time of core formation. The metal-silicate derived lunar mantle estimates are generally consistent with previous estimates for the concentration of these elements in the lunar mantle. Plagioclase-melt derived concentrations for Sr, Ga, Ru, Pd, Au, Ni, and Co are also consistent with prior estimates. Estimates for Hf, W, and Mo, however, are higher. These elements may be concentrated in the residual liquid during fractional crystallization due to their incompatibility. Alternatively, the apparent enrichment could reflect the inappropriate use of bulk anorthosite data, rather than data for plagioclase separates.

description: The addition of fresh substrates can alter the decomposition of the native soil organic matter, referred to as the priming effect (PE). It is a crucial process within the cycling of soil organic carbon (C) and believed to be regulated by nitrogen (N) input. However, the direction and magnitude of this N effect on the PE are complex due to the involvement of various factors following N addition into the soil. This review synthesizes the key factors driving the responses of the PE to N addition from the perspective of C-substrate quantity and quality, N addition rates and forms, soil properties including organic C stability, N availability, electrical conductivity, pH and pH buffer capacity. The temporal change in the N effect on the PE is also discussed. In studies observing a suppressive effect of N addition on the PE, the role of N addition in directly suppressing microbial community metabolism (e.g., osmotic stress and low pH) has been largely ignored. We propose the application of multi-omics techniques to examine the relationship between microbial functional traits and soil C cycling through the PE and its response to N addition, as well as the application of spatial omics and imaging techniques in exploring the connection between in-situ soil C distribution and the PE and its response to N addition. Such studies can potentially elucidate how elevated atmospheric CO2 may affect the PE and thus soil C stock via increasing plant C input and regulating nutrients sources for plant uptake under N inputs.

description: Nitrogen-rich compounds are a kind of new type of energetic material and have good application prospects. They generally have high densities, high positive heats of formation, good thermal stability, and a series of excellent properties. Nitro-rich energetic salts in which cations and anions contain tetrazole rings possess more N-N and C-N bonds. These can help the salts achieve better performance. Their distinct advantages make them attractive for applications in gas generators and high-energy-density materials and as propellant additives.

description: Maintenance of genome integrity is crucial to avoid cancer and other genetic diseases. Thus faced with DNA damage, cells mount a DNA damage response to avoid genome instability. The DNA damage response is partially inhibited during mitosis presumably to avoid erroneous processing of the segregating chromosomes. Yet our recent study shows that TopBP1-mediated DNA processing during mitosis is highly important to reduce transmission of DNA damage to daughter cells.1 Here we provide an overview of the DNA damage response and DNA repair during mitosis. One role of TopBP1 during mitosis is to stimulate unscheduled DNA synthesis at underreplicated regions. We speculated that such genomic regions are likely to hold stalled replication forks or post-replicative gaps, which become the substrate for DNA synthesis upon entry into mitosis. Thus, we addressed whether the translesion pathways for fork restart or post-replicative gap filling are required for unscheduled DNA synthesis in mitosis. Using genetics in the avian DT40 cell line, we provide evidence that unscheduled DNA synthesis in mitosis does not require the translesion synthesis scaffold factor Rev1 or PCNA ubiquitylation at K164, which serve to recruit translesion polymerases to stalled forks. In line with this finding, translesion polymerase η foci do not colocalize with TopBP1 or FANCD2 in mitosis. Taken together, we conclude that TopBP1 promotes unscheduled DNA synthesis in mitosis independently of the examined translesion polymerases.

description: Two copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(N3)2]·MeOH and [Cu(L)(NCS)2]·MeOH, were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, and quantum chemical studies, where L is 2,6-bis(1-butylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine. X-ray quality crystals of [Cu(L)(N3)2]·MeOH were obtained by slow evaporation of MeOH solution of the complex. Molecular structure of [Cu(L)(N3)2]·MeOH was determined by X-ray crystallography. The asymmetric unit contains one [Cu(L)(N3)2] and one MeOH molecule. Cu(II) in [Cu(L)(N3)2]·MeOH is five-coordinate, bonded to five nitrogens (three from L and two from two azide anions). Coordination geometry around Cu(II) center is distorted square-pyramidal with τ value of 0.065. Optimized geometries, IR spectra, and non-linear optical properties of the complexes were obtained by computational studies based on density functional theory (DFT) with M062X method. NLO properties of these complexes were investigated computationally and both complexes exhibit better NLO properties than urea.

Although many methods have been proposed and the associated theory is now well developed, the relative efficacy of different approaches in finite-sample settings, as encountered in practice, remains incompletely understood. There is therefore a need for empirical investigations in this area that can offer practical insight and guidance to users. In this paper, we present a large-scale comparison of penalized regression methods. We distinguish between three related goals: prediction, variable selection and variable ranking. Our results span more than 2300 data-generating scenarios, including both synthetic and semisynthetic data (real covariates and simulated responses), allowing us to systematically consider the influence of various factors (sample size, dimensionality, sparsity, signal strength and multicollinearity). We consider several widely used approaches (Lasso, Adaptive Lasso, Elastic Net, Ridge Regression, SCAD, the Dantzig Selector and Stability Selection). We find considerable variation in performance between methods. Our results support a "no panacea" view, with no unambiguous winner across all scenarios or goals, even in this restricted setting where all data align well with the assumptions underlying the methods. The study allows us to make some recommendations as to which approaches may be most (or least) suitable given the goal and some data characteristics. Our empirical results complement existing theory and provide a resource to compare methods across a range of scenarios and metrics.

description: Archeologists from the University of Maryland conducted an excavation of the Federal picket line within Petersburg National Battlefield as part of the Overview and Assessment of archeological resources within the battlefield's Main Unit. The goal of the Overview and Assessment is to provide basic background information on the archeological resources within the battlefield park. This includes, describing the area's environmental and culture history; list, describe, and evaluate known archeological resources; describe the potential for as-yet- unidentified archeological resources; outline relevant research topics; and provide recommendations for future research. As part of the Overview and Assessment project, National Park Service staff and University of Maryland archeologists agreed that part of the project should provide a public component. To help further both goals of evaluating archeological resources and public visibility, project directors decided to explore the archeological potential of the Federal picket line near the Crater. The Federal picket line, in this area of the battlefield, played a vital role in the Battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864. The picket line also served as a key area because of its proximity, 100 yards, from the Confederate defenses. This was one of the closest points between the two armies. This report contains details from the excavation and public interpretation portions of the project. Excavation details focus on the data recovered from the four excavation units used to bisect the picket trench. Archeologists were able to excavate and record a seven foot section of the Federal picket trench, and features associated with the Battle of the Crater. Archeological features and data also provide details on the post-war filling and history of the picket trench area. Artifacts recovered from the trench, including pieces of preserved canvas, leather, tin cups, ink well fragments, food tins, and other militaria, provide clues to the daily lives of soldiers posted in the trench. Details on the public interpretation portion include information on the development, methodology, and success of the major components of the public program. These details, including descriptions of the project website, tour brochures, exhibits, and site tours, provide a template for future archeology interpretative programs.

description: Simulation can offer researchers access to events that can otherwise not be directly observed, and in a safe and controlled environment. How to use simulation for the study of how to improve the quality and safety of healthcare remains underexplored, however. We offer an overview of simulation-based research (SBR) in this context. Building on theory and examples, we show how SBR can be deployed and which study designs it may support. We discuss the challenges of simulation for healthcare improvement research and how they can be tackled. We conclude that using simulation in the study of healthcare improvement is a promising approach that could usefully complement established research methods.

description: The information gained by making a measurement, termed the Kullback-Leibler divergence, assesses how much more precisely the true quantity is known after the measurement was made (the posterior probability distribution) than before (the prior probability distribution). It provides an upper bound for the contribution that an observation can make to the total likelihood score in likelihood-based crystallographic algorithms. This makes information gain a natural criterion for deciding which data can legitimately be omitted from likelihood calculations. Many existing methods use an approximation for the effects of measurement error that breaks down for very weak and poorly measured data. For such methods a different (higher) information threshold is appropriate compared with methods that account well for even large measurement errors. Concerns are raised about a current trend to deposit data that have been corrected for anisotropy, sharpened and pruned without including the original unaltered measurements. If not checked, this trend will have serious consequences for the reuse of deposited data by those who hope to repeat calculations using improved new methods.

description: Background: Foot orthoses and footwear interventions are advocated for the management of lower limb musculoskeletal conditions including the hip, but much of the research is focused on knee disorders. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise the literature that investigates the use of foot orthoses or footwear in people with hip-related pain. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED and SPORTDiscus were searched from inception to March 2023. Randomised controlled trials (RCT), cohort and pre-post studies reporting on footwear and foot orthoses interventions, in participants with hip-related pain, were eligible for inclusion. Outcomes included pain, physical function, and quality of life (QoL). Effect sizes were calculated where sufficient data were available. Reporting quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool (Rob-2) and the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist. The overall quality of evidence was rated according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations framework. Results: Of the seven included studies (n = 266 participants), there was one RCT, one cohort and five single-group pre-post designs. Interventions included customised and non-customised arch supports, heel lifts, and footwear modifications, used in the following hip conditions: trochanteric pain, non-specific hip pain, hip osteoarthritis, and leg length dysfunction following total hip arthroplasty. Meta-analysis was possible for outcomes in two studies, demonstrating moderate improvement in pain following foot orthoses use. Overall certainty of evidence ranged from very low to low. Conclusion: Single-group pre-post study designs describe positive relationships between foot orthoses and footwear use and improvements in hip pain, function, and QoL. However, these results were not supported by the only available RCT. Given this is a relatively inexpensive and non-invasive treatment approach, further rigorous studies are warranted.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Cet article explore l’impact des Big Data et de l’intelligence artificielle sur l’évolution des méthodes économétriques en mettant en lumière les profondes transformations qu’elles induisent. L’essor des technologies avancées a permis une amélioration significative de la précision des prévisions économiques et une meilleure gestion des données massives, autrefois difficiles à exploiter avec les outils économétriques traditionnels. Grâce aux modèles d’apprentissage automatique et aux algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle, les économistes peuvent désormais analyser des volumes de données considérables tout en identifiant des patterns complexes.

Cet article examine les implications éthiques et réglementaires de ces nouvelles technologies et discute des stratégies à adopter pour garantir une utilisation responsable des Big Data et de l’IA en économétrie. Enfin, il propose des perspectives pour l’avenir de la discipline, en insistant sur la nécessité d’une intégration progressive de ces outils tout en maintenant les fondements théoriques de l’économétrie classique. Il met en évidence les transformations majeures introduites par ces technologies, notamment l’amélioration de la précision des prévisions et l’optimisation de l’analyse des données complexes. L’étude examine également les défis liés à l’intégration de ces approches, tels que la qualité des données, l’interprétabilité des modèles et les enjeux éthiques. Enfin, il propose des perspectives sur l’avenir de l’économétrie face aux innovations technologiques.
