title: Sustainable collective pest management at the landscape scale with GMDPtoolbox

description: For environmental, ecological and human health sustainability, there is a great need to limit the structural dependency of agriculture on pesticides while, at the same time, maintaining satisfactory levels of production and farmers’ gross margins. A model was developed to explore the consequences of various management policies to contain blackleg on canola, on a long term basis. This model relies on the Graph-based Markov Decision Processes toolbox (GMDPtoolbox) that allows representing and optimizing sequential decisions under uncertainty, taking into account interactions between fields (spore dispersal). The objective of the study is to help better enforce management practices such as cultivar choice, crop management, and soil tillage. This study thus shows how the GMDPtoolbox can be used as a tool to support expert thinking.<br><br>

title: Supplementary Material for: Cell-Free Placental DNA in Maternal Plasma in Relation to Placental Health and Function

description: <i>Background:</i> While cell-free placental DNA (cfp-DNA) increases in response to certain pathological conditions, confounding variables, such as placental size, may also contribute to its release. Furthermore, the relationship between cfp-DNA and maternal serum proteins has not been well investigated. <i>Objective:</i> To analyze plasma cfp-DNA levels and correlate with measurable placental parameters, maternal serum proteins, or pathologic conditions reflecting placental dysfunction. <i>Method:</i>Methylated fraction of <i>RASSF1A</i> was quantified in maternal plasma as a measure of cfp-DNA in a cohort of 86 pregnant women. <i>Results:</i> Placental dimensions or weight had no impact on cfp-DNA levels in noncomplicated pregnancies (n = 63). However, an association between β-hCG and cfp-DNA levels (p = 0.0012) was detected. Complications occurred in 23 pregnancies including chromosomal abnormalities, gestational hypertension, intrauterine growth restriction, and preterm birth. There was overall a skewed distribution (1 SD from mean) for cfp-DNA in the abnormal group, although due to the small number of samples for each pathology, we provide only descriptive data to assess possible trends in cfp-DNA variation.<i>Conclusion:</i> While cfp-DNA levels outside of the normal range may reflect placental distress, this relationship may be masked by a number of physiological confounders. The independence of cfp-DNA from β-hCG levels commonly assessed in pregnancy need to be further addressed.

title: Supplementary Material for: Prenatal Brain-Body Allometry in Mammals

description: Variation in relative brain size among adult mammals is produced by different patterns of brain and body growth across ontogeny. Fetal development plays a central role in generating this diversity, and aspects of prenatal physiology such as maternal relative metabolic rate, altriciality, and placental morphology have been proposed to explain allometric differences in neonates and adults. Primates are also uniquely encephalized across fetal development, but it remains unclear when this pattern emerges during development and whether it is common to all primate radiations. To reexamine these questions across a wider range of mammalian radiations, data on the primarily fetal rapid growth phase (RGP) of ontogenetic brain-body allometry was compiled for diverse primate (np = 12) and nonprimate (nnp = 16) mammalian species, and was complemented by later ontogenetic data in 16 additional species (np = 9; nnp = 7) as well as neonatal proportions in a much larger sample (np = 38; nnp = 83). Relative BMR, litter size, altriciality, and placental morphology fail to predict RGP slopes as would be expected if physiological and life history variables constrained fetal brain growth, but are associated with differences in birth timing along allometric trajectories. Prenatal encephalization is shared by all primate radiations, is unique to the primate Order, and is characterized by: (1) a robust change in early embryonic brain/body proportions, and (2) higher average RGP allometric slopes due to slower fetal body growth. While high slopes are observed in several nonprimate species, primates alone exhibit an intercept shift at 1 g body size. This suggests that primate prenatal encephalization is a consequence of early changes to embryonic neural and somatic tissue growth in primates that remain poorly understood.

title: Supplementary Material for: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Incidence and Previous Prescriptions of Drugs for the Nervous System

description: <i>Background:</i> An increased frequency of psychotic disorders in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) families compared to controls has been reported. Aim of our study was to assess the relationship between nervous system drugs prescriptions and subsequent onset of ALS in a large Italian population. <i>Methods:</i> The study population consisted of all subjects over 15 years at the 2001 Italian census, resident in Turin since 1996 (n = 687,324), followed up for ALS occurrence from 2002 to 2014. Exposure to nervous system drugs was measured until 2012, or until 1 year before ALS onset. The association was estimated for ever and cumulative exposure, through Cox proportional Hazards models adjusted for sex, age, education, marital status and drug co-exposure. <i>Results:</i> In the analysis for ever exposure, opioids were significantly inversely associated with ALS risk (hazard ratio (HR) 0.59; 95% CI 0.35-0.97), while antiepileptics (HR 1.35; 95% CI 0.92-2.00) showed a marginally significantly positive association. Examining cumulative exposure, the protective role of opioids associated with more than 4 prescriptions and the risk effect of antiepileptics for over 6 prescriptions was confirmed. <i>Conclusions:</i> The present study revealed associations of ALS onset with previous exposure to opioids, maybe through the activation of δ receptor and σ receptors and antiepileptics, which are novel findings to our knowledge.

title: Supplementary Material for: Precision Fluid Management in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

description: Fluid management during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients is a dynamic process that encompasses 3 inter-related goals: maintenance of the patency of the CRRT circuit, maintenance of plasma electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis and regulation of patient fluid balance. In this article, we report the consensus recommendations of the 2016 Acute Disease Quality Initiative XVII conference on ‘Precision Fluid Management in CRRT'. We discuss the principles of fluid management, describe various prescription methods to achieve circuit integrity and introduce the concept of integrated fluid balance for tailoring fluid balance to the needs of the individual patient. We suggest that these recommendations could serve to develop the best clinical practice and standards of care for fluid management in patients undergoing CRRT. Finally, we identify and highlight areas of uncertainty in fluid management and set an agenda for future research.

title: Carvalho & Mirth, 2017

description: An animal’s metabolism changes throughout development, obliging the animal to coordinate its feeding behaviour with its stage-specific nutritional requirements. Previous studies in the fruit fly <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> have demonstrated that the developmental transition known as critical weight alters the response to nutrition in larvae; starvation reduces survival and dramatically delays development in pre-critical weight larvae, whereas it shows more moderate effects on survival and accelerates development in post-critical weight larvae. We thus hypothesized that this change in sensitivity to nutrition might result in differences in feeding behaviour between the two stages. Using both no-choice and two-choice assays, we show that pre-and post-critical weight larvae have similar strategies for macronutrient balancing, both regulating protein intake at the cost of under or over-consuming carbohydrates. Despite these similarities, we find that pre-critical weight larvae regulate protein intake within more narrow limits than post-critical weight larvae. In addition, larvae of different stages show significant differences in the way they regulate macronutrient intake in the presence of bitter, potentially noxious compounds. Larvae differed in their avoidance of bitter substance according to stage. Whereas pre-critical weight larvae avoided bitter food, post-critical weight larvae responded to these compounds by consuming less. If larvae were forced to trade off between a higher quality diet tainted with quinine or caffeine versus a lower quality diet containing less protein, larvae of both stages showed similar avoidance strategies but pre-critical weight larvae maintained a more constant protein intake than their post-critical weight siblings. Altogether, our results show that the developmental transition at critical weight modifies larval feeding behaviour, providing us an inroad to the understanding of how developmental processes influence behaviour.

title: A story of the stone

description: A Story of the Stone is a masterpiece of Chinese vernacular literature and one of the four greatest Chinese classical novels. It is remarkable not only for its huge cast of characters and psychological scope, but also for its precise and detailed observation of life and social structures in the 18th century China. It was written over approximately 55<br>10 years from 1749 to 1759. However, it was published anonymously until the 20th century, so there is some debate as to the author contributions. Currently, the 1st to 80th chapters are attributed to Xueqin Cao, and the remaining chapters are attributed to E Gao.Our contribution is, we collect the e-version from the website http://www.hongloumengs.cn/ and integrate the separated chapters into a single file. And we replace the full stop in traditional Chinese (a small circle) with the English full stop.The material is used to detect long-rang correlations embedded in sentence series.

title: Mineral Type Structures Soil Microbial Communities

description: Soil microorganisms living in close contact with minerals play key roles in the biogeochemical cycling of elements, soil formation, and plant nutrition. Yet, the composition of microbial communities inhabiting the mineralosphere (i.e., the soil surrounding minerals) is poorly understood. Here, we explored the composition of soil microbial communities associated with different types of minerals in various soil horizons. To this effect, a field experiment was set up in which mineral specimens of apatite, biotite, and oligoclase were buried in the organic, eluvial, and upper illuvial horizons of a podzol soil. After an incubation period of two years, the soil attached to the mineral surfaces was collected, and microbial communities were analyzed by means of Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S (prokaryotic) and 18S (eukaryotic) ribosomal RNA genes. We found that both composition and diversity of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities varied across the different mineral surfaces, and that mineral type had a greater influence on structuring microbial assemblages than soil horizon. Thus, our findings emphasize the importance of mineral surfaces as ecological niches in soils.
