title: Climatic signal in a radial growth of Canadian and Maximovich poplars in south-western Poland

description: ABSTRACT: The main goal set by researchers in this article was to gather knowledge on the structure of the basic biometric features of tree-rings of two species of poplars, belonging to different sections of Aegeiros – Populus xcanadensis and Tacamahaca – Populus maximowiczii, and to define and understand the correlation between weather and annual increment. A supplementary objective of the article was to determine pointer years of species found in individual populations. Our research used the standard methodology applied in dendroclimatology. In the analysis of correlation of the tree species studied, stronger statistically significant relationships were obtained in terms of precipitation-increment compared to temperature-increment. The annual increment in the Canadian poplar was enhanced by wet autumns and winters, especially by the rainfall in Oct and Dec in the previous year, as well as in Apr of this year. The tested Maximovich's poplars tested preferred rainfall during spring going into summer, especially in June of this year. Seven specific pointer years were determined for the Canadian poplar, comprising 4 positive (1987, 2008, 2010, 2012) and 3 negative years (2000, 2011, 2014). For P. maximowiczii, 11 pointer years were determined, i.e. 5 positive years (1987, 1991, 1999, 2009, 2012) and 6 negative (1984, 2000, 2002, 2010, 2013, 2015). In the pointer years, monthly sums of atmospheric precipitation and the average monthly air temperatures differed from the multi-year period. In the process of forming the secondary growth of the wood of the studied poplar species, the predominant role was played by atmospheric precipitation.

title: THE ONE ANASTOMOSIS GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNIQUE: RESULTS AFTER ONE YEAR OF FOLLOW-UP

description: ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a major health problem. One anastomosis-gastric bypass (OAGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive weight loss surgery that carries the same characteristics of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in its status as a weight loss mechanism; but, its results remain controversial. Aim: To describe the technique and outcomes of OAGB and its effects on weight loss and remission of comorbidities. Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent OAGB procedure from January 2017 to January 2018. Patients’ baseline characteristics were recorded. The routine in follow-up were at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Results: A total of 51 patients underwent OAGB. The mean age was 43.8±9.3 years, mean weight was 125±31 and mean BMI was 55.8±12 kg/m2. With regard to comorbidities, 64.7% had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 43.1% systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and 51% dyslipidemia. The BMI decreased for 48.4±1.3 to 31±4.4 at 12 months (p=0.0001) and we obtained an average decreased of 65% excess weight loss (EWL) at 12 months of follow-up. There was improvement in the values of total cholesterol (CT) (p=0.348); triglycerides (TGC) (p=0.0001); LDL (p=0.06), HDL (p=0.029) and A1C (p=0.405). Remission of T2DM al 12 months follow-up after surgery was 57% (p=0.124), remission of SAH 37% (p=0.040) and remission of dyslipidemia of 43% (p=0.967). Conclusions: OAGB is a commonly performed and safe procedure. Short term results appear promising; however, long-term follow-up is necessary to evaluate complications and possible nutritional effects.

title: Polidocanol echosclerotherapy treatment for lymphocele: case report and review

description: Abstract Formation of lymphocele secondary to transection of lymphatic channels during surgical procedures or traumas is relatively common and is reported in the postoperative period of approximately 30% of lymph node resection procedures. The condition may be asymptomatic or can present with complications such as pain, secondary infection, and compression of blood vessels, which can cause stasis, thrombosis, and edema. There is no consensus on treatment. This article describes three cases in which treatment was provided using polidocanol echosclerotherapy. Its relevance lies in the scarcity of reports in the literature.

title: DEVELOPING NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC MODELS FOR PREDICTING DENSITY OF Eucalyptus WOOD BASED ON INDIRECT MEASUREMENT

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to establish multivariate models for the prediction of wood basic density with reference to the values of average density of trees and near infrared (NIR) spectra measured in the breast height. The wood basic density of 39 Eucalyptus clones was determined in the laboratory by means of the mean longitudinal positions of 0%, 2%, 10%, 30%, 50% and 75% of the commercial height of the tree by the gravimetric method. NIR spectra were recorded using a spectrometer using optical fiber probe and integrating sphere directly on the transverse plane of the solid wood in disks collected from diameter at breast height and later in the sawdust. The performance of the NIR based models was evaluated according to the spectral acquisition method and sample preparation. The results showed that the best model for basic density estimation using indirect measurements was developed from the average spectra per clone measured in solid wood disks (R2cv of 0.77 and RMSEcv of 15 kg.m-³).

title: Which of available selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is more effective in treatment of premature ejaculation? A randomized clinical trial

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of available selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in order to find the most effective drug with the least number of side effects in treatment of premature ejaculation (PE). Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial. Four hundred and eighty patients with PE in the 4 groups referred to Imam Reza hospital Tehran, Iran from July 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled in the study. The patients received sertraline 50mg, fluoxetine 20mg, paroxetine 20mg and citalopram 20mg, every 12 hours daily. The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) before treatment, fourth and eighth weeks after treatment was recorded by the patient's wife with a stopwatch. Results: Mean IELT before, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment in four groups were: sertraline 69.4±54.3, 353.5±190.4, 376.3±143.5; fluoxetine 75.5±64.3, 255.4±168.2, 314.8±190.4; paroxetine 71.5±69.1, 320.7±198.3, 379.9±154.3; citalopram 90.39±79.3, 279.9±192.1, 282.5±171.1 seconds, respectively. The ejaculation time significantly increased in all groups (p &lt;0.05), but there was no significant difference between the groups (P=0.75). Also, there was no significant difference in drugs side effects between groups (p &gt;0.05). The most common side effects were drowsiness and dyspepsia, which were not severe enough to cause discontinuation of the drug. Conclusions: All available SSRIs were effective and usually had no serious complications. In patients who did not respond to any of these drugs, other SSRI drugs could be used as a salvage therapy.

title: Cation Vacancies in NiFe2O4 During Heat Treatments at High Temperatures: Structural, Morphological and Magnetic Characterization

description: Nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) was synthesized by mixing stoichiometric amounts of α-Fe2O3 and NiO using mechanical milling and heat treatments at high temperatures. The physical characterization of the samples was carried out using X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, Mössbauer spectrometry, magnetization measurements, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We found that NiFe2O4 production increases from 81 to 100 wt. % with increasing temperature. Additionally, the lattice parameter and the saturation magnetization increase with increasing temperature. On the other hand, Mössbauer spectrometry showed that there is a decrease in the subspectral areas ratio for Fe3+ cations at tetrahedral (A) and octahedral [B] sites, AA/AB, with the increase of the temperature. In the SEM micrographs it was observed that the samples consisted of particles with irregular shapes and micrometric sizes. From IR spectra, the intensity of the 411 cm-1 band (vibrations at octahedral sites) increases relative to the intensity of the 599 cm-1 band (vibrations at tetrahedral sites) with increasing temperature. From the results obtained in the magnetization curves, it was possible to confirm the synthesis of NiFe2O4. As the heat treatment temperature increases, hysteresis loops with S-type geometric forms were obtained. All the results suggest that a defective spinel NiFe2O4 is formed at 1000 °C, and that as the temperature increases, the defects gradually disappear. Neither cation reordering phenomena nor possible evaporation of chemical elements were the dominant effects to account for the results. The results can be explained if it is assumed that [B]-sites cation vacancies are gradually filled with cations as the temperature of the heat treatment increases.

title: Mineral fertilization with macronutrients in castor bean, lineage UFRB 222

description: ABSTRACT The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of mineral fertilization on the growth and production of seeds and oil of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) lineage UFRB 222. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse of the Centro de Tecnologia e Recursos Naturais at the Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. A randomized block design with three repetitions and 14 treatments originated from a Baconian matrix was adopted. Reference doses were 50:300:150 kg ha-1 of N, P2O5 and K2O. At the end of the study, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, total seed number, total seed weight, total fruit number and oil production per plant were evaluated. On average, the nitrogen dose of 150 kg ha-1 led to adequate values of growth and yield variables. For plant growth, 300 kg ha-1 of phosphorus should be applied, since the differences in the increase of growth variables between this dose and the highest ones estimated by the equations were very small; for castor bean production, the best applied dose was 600 kg ha-1 of phosphorus. The application of potassium increased the leaf area, number of seeds and production of oil, and the best dose was 300 kg ha-1. Phosphorus was the nutrient that promoted the highest production of oil per plant (92.40 g), followed by nitrogen (75.55 g) and potassium (72.10 g).

title: Evaluation of organic matter, density and porosity of Oxisol in contact with leachate from urban solid waste

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to evaluate soil density, porosity, and also the organic matter due to soil-leachate interaction in Oxisol, at two depths: 0.2 and 1.5 m. Soil samples were collected undisturbed and the leachate in a landfill. Diffusion columns, without any flow, were used, where the soil was submerged in the leachate for 90 days. The organic matter was obtained by gravimetric determination (IAPAR). Density, micro and macro porosity were obtained according to the stress table test (EMBRAPA). Regression analysis was performed to study the factors effects and their interactions for the organic matter parameter. The main conclusions were: major changes in physical soil properties occur in the first days of contact; soil bulk density at 0.2 m decreased by 5.9%, while at 1.5 m it increased by 5.61%; macroporosity did not changed to 0.2 m, but decreased by 11% for 1.5 m; microporosity for both depths studied increased, respectively, by 4.25 and 21,14%. The soil organic matter had a low correlation with the leachate BOD5 and a significant correlation with its COD; the increase of the soil organic matter was significant at the time of the contact.

title: An Experimental Analysis of Three Pseudo-peripheral Vertex Finders in conjunction with the Reverse Cuthill-McKee Method for Bandwidth Reduction

description: Abstract. The need to determine pseudoperipheral vertices arises from several graph-theoretical approaches for ordering sparse matrix equations. The results of two algorithms for finding such vertices, namely, the George-Liu and Kaveh-Bondarabady algorithms, are evaluated in this work along with a variant of the Kaveh-Bondarabady algorithm. The results suggest that the well-know George-Liu algorithm dominates the other two pseudoperipheral vertex finders mainly when considering the computational times of the algorithms.

title: Effect of Scanning Speed on the Surface Roughness of Laser Metal Deposited Copper on Titanium Alloy

description: This paper reports on the effect of scanning speed on the laser deposited Cu on titanium alloy substrate. The experiments were conducted by varying the scanning speed from 0.3 m/min to 1.2 m/min while the laser power, the powder feed rate and the gas flow rate were kept constant. The laser deposited Cu were characterized through the evolving microstructure and surface roughness. Dendrites and acicular were much pronounced in the clad area; found to decrease as the scanning speed increases due to the laser interaction time and the cooling rate. These however, influenced the irregularities in the peaks and valleys of the surface texture. The arithmetic mean deviation, Ra were measured and abridged from 6.70 µm to 1.41 µm as the scanning speed was increased from samples DC1 to DC4. The motivation for this work is to improve the surface performance of Ti6Al4V alloy when exposed and attacked by marine microfouling organisms.
