title: EMS Dispatches during Hurricanes Irene and Sandy in New Jersey

description: <b>Background</b>: Hurricanes Irene and Sandy heavily impacted New Jersey. Investigating EMS dispatch trends during these storms may allow us to prepare for future disasters. <b>Objectives</b>: Our objectives to characterize the types of EMS dispatches immediately before, during, and after landfall compared to a control period. <b>Methods</b>: This retrospective study was conducted at a large EMS dispatch center that provides first responders, Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and critical care transport services to an area with approximately 20 receiving hospitals including a Level I Trauma Center. At peak staffing, there are 8–10 ALS vehicles, 25 BLS vehicles, and 3 critical care transport vehicles deployed. We included of the day of landfall and seven days before and after. We compared dispatch data to a control period in 2010 that mirrored Hurricane Sandy the dates of. Descriptive statistics and two way ANOVA were used to assess dispatch, gender and age differences. <b>Results</b>: We found Hurricane Sandy dispatches peaked 2 days after landfall. Both ALS and BLS had an increase in age in the post-Sandy period compared to the pre-Sandy (ALS 58.5 to 64.2, p = 0.005, ANOVA p = 0.078; BLS 47.4 to 56.3, p &lt; 0.001, ANOVA p = 0.001). There were 17 “hurricane related” (loss of power related issues, oxygen supply depleted, evacuation) and 15 carbon monoxide dispatches in the post-Sandy period and none in the others, including peri-Irene. The average age of cardiac arrest dispatches was lower in the post-Irene group compared to pre-Irene (74.3 to 47.8, p = 0.023). There were no critical care requests before or after Hurricane Sandy, but there were 14 around Hurricane Irene and 10 surrounding the control period. <b>Conclusions</b>: Dispatch data can inform natural disaster planning. Education efforts can focus on geriatric patients, as well as resource distribution planning for an increase in geriatric populations. However, pattern variability between storms shows further study is needed to clarify exactly which resources should be utilized in order to maintain an ideal response to a natural disaster.

title: Utilizing External Features and a Consensus Field-Based Approach to Determine Sex of Lake Michigan Yellow Perch

description: Understanding fluctuations in population sex ratios is important for evaluating the effects of changes in population demographics and for making informed management decisions. The Yellow Perch <i>Perca flavescens</i>, an important sport fish in Lake Michigan, undergoes sexually dimorphic growth, likely resulting in differing vulnerabilities to angler harvest. However, sex ratio data from angler-harvested fish have not been collected because of the handling time and intrusiveness of the methods for distinguishing sexes. We utilized digital photographs of the urogenital papilla (UGP) from known-sex Yellow Perch to establish a method whereby UGP shape could be used to rapidly, accurately, and inexpensively determine the sex of Yellow Perch. Overall, 88.1% of Yellow Perch examined were assigned to the correct sex, and the sex ratio estimate of 48:87 (female : male) did not differ significantly from the known sex ratio of 46:89. Classification success was not affected by fish sex, TL, or month of collection. Our results demonstrate accurate, rapid, inexpensive, and nonlethal applicability of this method across a wide range of sizes and geographic and temporal scales. Applying this methodology will permit accurate sex ratio estimates for angler-harvested Yellow Perch, which can be used to better understand harvest composition and its implications for management.

title: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Street Dust of Bushehr City, Iran: Status, Source, and Human Health Risk Assessment

description: This study identified concentrations, molecular distributions, toxicities, and sources of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in street dust from different land use of Bushehr city in southwest of Iran. For this purpose, 19 street dust samples were collected from different land use of the city and analyzed using GC–MS. Σ16PAHs (16 USEPA priority PAHs) concentrations ranged between 73.6 and 9491 µg kg<sup>−1</sup>, with a mean of 1116.02 µg kg<sup>−1</sup>. The high-molecular-weight (HMW) PAHs (4–6 rings), that make 65.22% of the total, were the dominant in almost all dust samples. In the northern part of the city, the concentration of PAHs especially HMW is high, reflecting high traffic density. PAH sources were identified statistically. It is demonstrated that the PAHs in Bushehr street dust are mainly petrogenic derived from traffic emission. A significant positive correlation coefficient also exists between the ∑PAH concentration and toxic equivalency concentration (TEQ). Estimated incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) results indicated that Bushehr residents are potentially exposed to a high cancer risk, especially via dust ingestion and dermal contact.

title: Alkylated indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene based non-fullerene acceptor with high crystallinity, low voltage loss and single junction solar cell efficiency greater than 13% with Low Voltage Losses

description: We report a new synthetic route to prepare an alkylated indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) based non-fullerene acceptor (C8-ITIC). Compared to the reported ITIC with phenylalkyl side chains, the new acceptor C8-ITIC exhibited a red-shifted absorption with increased absorptivity. Accordingly, blends with the donor polymer PBDB-T exhibited an efficiency up 12.4%. Further improvements in efficiency were found upon backbone fluorination of the donor polymer. The resulting blend showed an impressive PCE up to 13.2%, which is related to broad absorption, higher crystallinity of C8-ITIC and low voltage loss in blend.

title: Stream types of the Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) watershed

description: The Lake Kinneret watershed (LKW) is an important freshwater resource in Israel, providing a myriad of water-dependent ecosystem services. Presently, environmental monitoring of the LKW is focused mainly on water quality and quantity parameters, but neglects biology. To fill this gap, a reference-based biological monitoring scheme is being developed. This approach requires a description of stream types, i.e. clusters of streams that naturally share similar environmental conditions, to help identify type-specific reference conditions and their associated communities. Here, we present the first stream typology for the entire LKW. Using a compilation of data layers of regional climate (precipitation and air temperature), local geology (volcanic, carbonic, and organic), and geomorphology (elevation, size, and slope), we have differentiated altogether nine stream types: small and mid-sized basaltic streams (41.6 and 2% of the entire catchment, respectively), small and mid-sized calcareous streams (36.4 and 2.9%), small organic streams (6.8%), and montane streams (6.5%). In addition, due to its size, the Jordan River is divided into three section-types: the karstic upper Jordan (6.3 km), the organic section of the Hula Valley (HV) (13.1 km), and the basaltic canyon-like section (16.9 km that stretches between the HV and the Lake Kinneret). Although Israel is not obligated to comply with the EU Water Framework Directive, this work constitutes an important step towards the development of the first bioassessment scheme for the LKW.

title: Per-capita estimations of long-term historical land use and the consequences for global change research

description: Changes in land use and land cover are important in global climate change, but the many uncertainties in historical estimates seriously hamper climate modelling. We collected new data on estimated per capita land use over the last two millennia, using new data sources from the Humanities. In general, and in agreement with literature, we found that per capita land use indeed has not been constant in the past, but differ per region and over time. Land use in the distant past was mostly less than 1 ha/cap. However, the recently colonised regions show much higher values and have experienced a much higher per capita land use for the recent past. Most known trajectories follow a concave or bell-shaped curve towards the present.

title: Supplementary Material for: Variants in Chemosensory Genes Are Associated with Picky Eating Behavior in Preschool-Age Children

description: <i>Background/Aims:</i> Picky eating is prevalent among preschoolers and is associated with risk of both underweight and overweight. Although differences in taste perception may be due to genetic variation, it is unclear whether these variations are related to picky eating behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5 candidate genes related to chemosensory perception with picky eating behavior and adiposity in a cohort of preschool-aged children. <i>Methods:</i> Parents of 2- to 5-year-old non-Hispanic white preschoolers (<i>n</i> = 153) responded to survey questions on demographics, and information regarding their child's breastfeeding history and picky eating behavior. Height and weight were measured to calculate body mass index (BMI) <i>z</i>-scores using standard growth charts, and saliva was collected for genotyping. Generalized linear models were used to examine associations between picky eating behavior and BMI <i>z</i>-scores with genetic variation. <i>Results:</i> When controlling for child age, sex, breastfed status, and parent education level, SNPs in <i>TAS2R38</i> (rs713598) and <i>CA6</i> (rs2274327) were associated with picky eating behavior in children. There was no association between SNPs and BMI <i>z</i>-scores. <i>Conclusion:</i> Genes related to chemosensory perception may play a role in children's picky eating behavior.

title: Supplementary Material for: Adaptation of the Score for Allergic Rhinitis in the Chinese Population: Psychometric Properties and Diagnostic Accuracy

description: <i>Background:</i> Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a worldwide health problem with rising prevalence. To enhance the estimation of AR prevalence in epidemiological studies, the Score for AR (SFAR), a screening tool, has been developed and widely used. An 8-item SFAR is a handy, self-administered instrument assessing the information on nasal and eye symptoms, seasonal increase in symptoms, skin test results, and previous AR diagnoses. This study aimed to adapt the SFAR to the Chinese population (CSFAR) and validate it by testing its psychometric properties and diagnostic accuracy. <i>Methods:</i>This methodological study involved translation and validation phases. Different batches of participants were recruited for the above purposes. <i>Results:</i> In phase 1, the CSFAR obtained satisfactory item (80-100%) and scale level (97.8%) semantic equivalence, content validity index (96.7%), comprehensibility (100%), cross-language testing (κ = 0.44-0.83 for item-to-item agreement; intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.95, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.05-0.001). In phase 2, CSFAR showed satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.83), 1-month (ICC = 0.88) and 1-year stability (ICC = 0.85), and construct validity (significant correlation between CSFAR and impairments induced by AR: <i>r</i> = 0.47, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Based on the receiver-operating characteristic curve, comparing the CSFAR with diagnosis made by specialists, an optimal cutoff value was 6 (sensitivity 81.8% and specificity 80.3%). <i>Conclusion:</i> SFAR was translated into a Chinese version, the CSFAR. Satisfactory results were obtained for its equivalence, appropriateness, comprehensibility, and relevance, as well as its reliability and validity. A cutoff value of 6 was recommended to increase the diagnostic accuracy in environments with less pollen. This study provides evidence that the SFAR we adapted for the Chinese population is a valuable tool in AR screening.

title: Supplementary Material for: Genomic and Cytogenetic Characterization of a Balanced Translocation Disrupting NUP98

description: A 41-year-old Asian woman with bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AML) was incidentally identified to have a balanced translocation, 46,XX,t(11;12)(p15.4;q15). She had no other features or family history to suggest a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis. Her healthy daughter had the same translocation and no renal AML at the age of 3 years. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on genomic maternal DNA isolated from blood. A targeted de novo assembly was then conducted with ABySS for chromosomes 11 and 12. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the translocation breakpoints. As a result, genomic characterization of chromosomes 11 and 12 revealed that the 11p breakpoint disrupted the <i>NUP98 </i>gene in intron 1, causing a separation of the promoter and transcription start site from the rest of the gene. The translocation breakpoint on chromosome 12q was located in a gene desert. <i>NUP98</i> has not yet been associated with renal AML pathogenesis, but somatic <i>NUP98</i> alterations are recurrently implicated in hematological malignancies, most often following a gene fusion event. We also found evidence for complex structural events involving chromosome 12, which appear to disrupt the <i>TDG</i> gene. We identified a <i>TDGP1</i> partially processed pseudogene at 12p12.1, which adds complexity to the de novo assembly. In conclusion, this is the first report of a germline constitutional structural chromosome rearrangement disrupting <i>NUP98</i> that occurred in a generally healthy woman with bilateral renal AML.
