title: Repeatability study of replicate crash tests: A signal analysis approach

description: <b>Objective</b>: To provide an objective basis on which to evaluate the repeatability of vehicle crash test methods, a recently developed signal analysis method was used to evaluate correlation of sensor time history data between replicate vehicle crash tests. The goal of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of rollover crash tests performed with the Dynamic Rollover Test System (DRoTS) relative to other vehicle crash test methods. <b>Methods</b>: Test data from DRoTS tests, deceleration rollover sled (DRS) tests, frontal crash tests, frontal offset crash tests, small overlap crash tests, small overlap impact (SOI) crash tests, and oblique crash tests were obtained from the literature and publicly available databases (the NHTSA vehicle database and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety TechData) to examine crash test repeatability. <b>Results</b>: Signal analysis of the DRoTS tests showed that force and deformation time histories had good to excellent repeatability, whereas vehicle kinematics showed only fair repeatability due to the vehicle mounting method for one pair of tests and slightly dissimilar mass properties (2.2%) in a second pair of tests. Relative to the DRS, the DRoTS tests showed very similar or higher levels of repeatability in nearly all vehicle kinematic data signals with the exception of global <i>X</i>′ (road direction of travel) velocity and displacement due to the functionality of the DRoTS fixture. Based on the average overall scoring metric of the dominant acceleration, DRoTS was found to be as repeatable as all other crash tests analyzed. Vertical force measures showed good repeatability and were on par with frontal crash barrier forces. Dynamic deformation measures showed good to excellent repeatability as opposed to poor repeatability seen in SOI and oblique deformation measures. <b>Conclusions</b>: Using the signal analysis method as outlined in this article, the DRoTS was shown to have the same or better repeatability of crash test methods used in government regulatory and consumer evaluation test protocols.

title: Transport phenomena governing nicotine emissions from electronic cigarettes: model formulation and experimental investigation

description: Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) electrically heat and aerosolize a liquid containing propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), flavorants, water, and nicotine. ECIG effects and proposed methods to regulate them are controversial. One regulatory focal point involves nicotine emissions. We describe a mathematical model that predicts ECIG nicotine emissions. The model computes the vaporization rate of individual species by numerically solving the unsteady species and energy conservation equations. To validate model predictions, yields of nicotine, total particulate matter, PG, and VG were measured while manipulating puff topography, electrical power, and liquid composition across 100 conditions. Nicotine flux, the rate at which nicotine is emitted per unit time, was the primary outcome. Across conditions, the measured and computed nicotine flux were highly correlated (r = 0.85, <i>p</i>p

title: Ionic and stable isotope chemistry as indicators of water sources to the Upper Mendoza River basin, Central Andes of Argentina

description: The Mendoza River is mainly dependent on the melting of snow and ice in the Upper Andes. Since predicted changes in climate would modify snow accumulation and glacial melting, it is important to understand the relative contributions of various water sources to river discharge. The two main mountain ranges in the basin, Cordillera Principal and Cordillera Frontal, present differences in geology and receive differing proportions of precipitation from Atlantic and Pacific moisture sources. We propose that differences in the origin of precipitation, geology and sediment contact times across the basin generate ionic and stable isotopic signatures in the water, allowing the differentiation of water sources. Waters from the Cordillera Principal had higher salinity and were more isotopically depleted than those from the Cordillera Frontal. Stable isotope composition and salinity differed among different water sources. The chemical temporal evolution of rivers and streams indicated changes in the relative contributions of different sources, pointing to the importance of glacier melting and groundwater in the river discharge.

title: Public stigma against people with mental illness in Jimma Town, South West Ethiopia

description: Title: Public stigma against people with mental illness in Jimma town, Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in adult residents of Jimma town. Data were collected among 820 randomly selected residents with the interviewer-administered Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI) scale. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of stigma against PWMI. Result: A total of 444 (54%) of the 820 respondents were females, and the mean (SD) age was 35 (8.5) years. The minimum and maximum possible values on each CAMI subscale were 10 and 50, respectively. The respondents had high scores for a stigmatizing attitude towards PWMI across all the subscales, as indicated by the mean (SD) scores. Conclusion: The study revealed that a negative attitude towards PWMI is widespread. Therefore, there is a need to develop strategies to fight the stigma attached to PWMI at the community level.

title: Supplementary Material for: Assessment of Patient Knowledge of Longitudinal Melanonychia: A Survey Study of Patients in Outpatient Clinics

description: <i>Importance:</i> Subungual melanoma (SM) is a rare subtype of cutaneous melanoma but carries a worse prognosis than similarly staged cutaneous melanomas. Assessing patient knowledge of melanonychia is integral to early diagnosis of SM. <i>Objectives:</i>The aim of this paper is to determine patient knowledge of longitudinal melanonychia (LM) and warning signs for SM, frequency of nail self-examinations, and satisfaction of patients with their physician's nail examinations. <i>Design, Setting, and Participants:</i> We conducted a survey-based study of 363 random patients at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, USA, performed at 3 different clinics: a general dermatology clinic (<i>n</i> = 167), a nail specialty clinic (<i>n</i> = 44), and a primary care clinic (<i>n</i>= 152). <i>Main Outcomes and Measures:</i> Knowledge of the ABCDEF mnemonic for SM was compared to the ABCD mnemonic for cutaneous melanoma. Analyses were performed for patient behavior regarding suspicious nail changes as well as satisfaction with nail counseling and examination. <i>Results:</i> Only 5% (18/363) of the patients in our study had heard of the ABCDEF mnemonic. In contrast, 9.9% (36/363) of the patients had heard of the ABCD mnemonic for cutaneous melanoma. In total, 37/363 (10.2%) patients reported having LM, 32.4% (12/37) of the patients noted changes in color or width of the band, and 10.8% (4/37) presented with pain or bleeding of the nail, with only 45.9% (17/37) seeking medical attention. Only 11.8% (43/363) of the patients stated that their physician asked them about nail changes, and 1.4% (5/363) of the patients stated that they were counseled about the ABCDEF mnemonic. In comparison, 13.8% (50/363) of the patients were advised on the ABCD mnemonic for the cutaneous melanoma mnemonic. While 70.2% (255/363) of the patients stated that they used sunscreen or wore sun-protective clothing, only 31.4% (114/363) assessed their nails for color changes, with 54.9% (128/233) of the patients categorizing themselves as “very unsatisfied” with the evaluation of their nails by their dermatologist. <i>Conclusions and Relevance:</i> Our data shows that there is a lack of patient knowledge of LM and warning signs for SM. Further testing is needed to determine whether educating patients about LM, warning signs for SM, and nail self-examinations would improve patient outcomes.

title: CDEMRIS fibrosis scar challenge dataset

description: The DatasetThe dataset includes Late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging used to visualise regions of fibrosis and scarring in the left atrium (LA) myocardium. <br>This can be important for treatment stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and for assessment of treatment after radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA). The datasets included are from a segmentation challenge where the aim was to create a benchmarking framework for algorithms classifying fibrosis and scar from LGE CMR images. <br>Dataset contentsThe dataset includes two subsets called <b>pre</b> and <b>post</b>. These refer to the time-points when the images were acquired. The <b>pre </b>data contains pre-ablation imaging of fibrosis. The 'post' data contains the post-ablation imaging data. There are 30 datasets in each <b>pre </b>and <b>post</b> folders. <br>The folders are arranged as pXX, where XX is the case number. Within each folder you will find two images in NRRD format. <br>These images follow a naming convention: de_xx_nnla_seg_xx_nnThe 'xx' can be 'a' or 'b'. The 'a' refers to the pre-scan and the 'b' refers to the post-scan. The 'nn' refers to the case number<br>Note the de_xx_nn refers to the delayed-enhancement (DE) scan. And the la_seg_xx_nn refers to the binary segmentation of the left atrial endocardium. The segmentation is registered to the delayed-enhancement scan. The images will generally be of varying quality. <br>ReferencesKarim et. al. <i>Evaluation of current algorithms for segmentation of scar tissue from late Gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance of the left atrium</i> in <b>Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance</b>, 15(105), 2013.

title: PEG3 binds to <i>H19</i>-ICR as a transcriptional repressor

description: Paternally expressed gene 3 (<i>Peg3</i>) encodes a DNA-binding protein with 12 C2H2 zinc finger motifs. In the current study, we performed ChIP-seq using mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. This experiment identified a set of 16 PEG3 genomic targets, the majority of which overlapped with the promoter regions of genes with oocyte expression. These potential downstream genes were upregulated in MEF cells lacking PEG3 protein, suggesting a potential repressor role for PEG3. Our study also identified the imprinting control region (ICR) of <i>H19</i> as a genomic target. According to the results, PEG3 binds to a specific sequence motif located between the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> CTCF binding sites of the H19-ICR. PEG3 also binds to the active maternal allele of the H19-ICR. The expression levels of <i>H19</i> were upregulated in MEF cells lacking PEG3, and this upregulation was mainly derived from the maternal allele. This suggests that PEG3 may function as a transcriptional repressor for the maternal allele of <i>H19</i>. Overall, the current study uncovers a potential functional relationship between <i>Peg3</i> and <i>H19</i>, and also confirms PEG3 as a transcriptional repressor for the identified downstream genes.

title: Adaptive shrinkage in Bayesian vector autoregressive models

description: Vector autoregressive (VAR) models are frequently used for forecasting and impulse response analysis. For both applications, shrinkage priors can help improving inference. In this paper we apply the shrinkage prior of Griffin and Brown (2010) to the VAR with stochastic volatility case and derive its relevant conditional posterior distributions. This framework imposes a set of normally distributed priors on the autoregressive coefficients and the covariance parameters of the VAR along with Gamma priors on a set of local and global prior scaling parameters. In a second step, we modify this prior setup by introducing another layer of shrinkage with scaling parameters that push certain regions of the parameter space to zero. Two simulation exercises show that the proposed framework yields more precise estimates of model parameters and impulse response functions. In addition, a forecasting exercise applied to US data shows that this prior performs well relative to other commonly used specifications in terms of point and density predictions. Finally, performing structural inference suggests that responses to monetary policy shocks appear to be reasonable.
