title: Investigation of powered 2-wheeler accident involvement in urban arterials by considering real-time traffic and weather data

description: <b>Objective</b>: Understanding the various factors that affect accident risk is of particular concern to decision makers and researchers. The incorporation of real-time traffic and weather data constitutes a fruitful approach when analyzing accident risk. However, the vast majority of relevant research has no specific focus on vulnerable road users such as powered 2-wheelers (PTWs). Moreover, studies using data from urban roads and arterials are scarce. This study aims to add to the current knowledge by considering real-time traffic and weather data from 2 major urban arterials in the city of Athens, Greece, in order to estimate the effect of traffic, weather, and other characteristics on PTW accident involvement. <b>Methods</b>: Because of the high number of candidate variables, a random forest model was applied to reveal the most important variables. Then, the potentially significant variables were used as input to a Bayesian logistic regression model in order to reveal the magnitude of their effect on PTW accident involvement. <b>Results</b>: The results of the analysis suggest that PTWs are more likely to be involved in multivehicle accidents than in single-vehicle accidents. It was also indicated that increased traffic flow and variations in speed have a significant influence on PTW accident involvement. On the other hand, weather characteristics were found to have no effect. <b>Conclusions</b>: The findings of this study can contribute to the understanding of accident mechanisms of PTWs and reduce PTW accident risk in urban arterials.

title: Outburst floods of the Maly Yenisei. Part II – new age constraints from Darhad basin

description: Some of the largest cataclysmic floods of the Quaternary followed multiple breaches of glaciers damming the headwaters of the Maly Yenisei river in southern Siberia. The shorelines of the impounded lake in Darhad basin suggest at least four depths of 290, 175, 145, and 65 m. Fossil evidence, together with previous <sup>14</sup>C and luminescence dating, indicates the existence of a deep lake during MIS 3; the eroded character of the highest shoreline suggests that the deepest lake was older. <sup>10</sup>Be dating of moraines in the surrounding mountains has documented major glacial advances during MIS 2, although no published direct dating has confirmed a highstand of the lake then. To address this problem, we extracted lake sediments from a 92.6 m deep borehole, sampled beach sands from the nearby basin edge, and dated them both using luminescence methods. We also dated, with <sup>10</sup>Be, the eroded remnants of the end moraine deposited by the last glacier that dammed Darhad basin, as well as other moraines in the mountains surrounding the basin. These numerical ages confirm that a deep lake existed in Darhad basin at ~20 ka and that a large glacier crossed the Maly Yenisei and dammed Darhad basin at ~21 ka. The deep lake persisted episodically until ~14 ka. The <sup>10</sup>Be dating in the surrounding mountains shows that the MIS 2 glaciers subsequently retreated but stalled or re-advanced at ~12, 10, and 1.5 ka. <sup>10</sup>Be dating from the central massif of Mongolia is consistent with this chronology and confirms that MIS 3 equilibrium-line altitudes were slightly (~75 m) lower or approximately the same as those of the MIS 2. The temporal and spatial patterns of glacial advances in southern Siberia and central Mongolia coincided with those of glacial advances in similar climate conditions of the Altai mountains.

title: Cytokine Profile in Gout: Inflammation Driven by IL-6 and IL-18?

description: <b>Introduction</b>: Gout is considered to be an autoinflammatory disease and the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals stimulates activation of NPRL3 inflammasome and subsequently caspase-1, generating production of active IL-1β and IL-18. However, the association between serum cytokines levels and clinical manifestations of the disease is not yet well understood. We evaluated the serum profile of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-22, and IL-23) and described their relationship with clinical and laboratory data. <b>Methodology</b>: Thirty-nine male patients with gout (GG) were assessed for clinical and laboratory variables and cytokine levels were measured by ELISA. For the purposes of comparison, 34 males with no previous history of arthritis were also included in the study (CG). <b>Results</b>: Seventeen participants (43%) exhibited active arthritis on evaluation. Levels of IL-18 were significantly higher in patients in relation to the CG (<i>p</i> = 0.0013). No statistically significant differences were found between the GG and CG for the other measured cytokines. There was a moderate correlation between IL-18 and ESR (<i>R</i> = 0.43, <i>p</i> = 0.0073), CRP (<i>R</i> = 0.47, <i>p</i> = 0.0025), and serum levels of IL-6 (<i>R</i> = 0.36, <i>p</i> = 0.023). An association was observed between serum levels of IL-6 and the presence of tophi (<i>p</i> = 0.005) and deformities (<i>p</i> = 0.0008), as well as a correlation between this cytokine and ESR (<i>R</i> = 0.41, <i>p</i> = 0.011) and CRP (<i>R</i> = 0.48, <i>p</i> = 0.02). <b>Conclusions</b>: IL-18 is associated with inflammatory activity in gout, as well as with IL-6 levels, while IL-6 is associated with clinical and laboratory activity, the presence of tophi and articular deformities, and may be a prognostic marker of this pathology.

title: Segmentation of tree seedling point clouds into elementary units

description: This article describes a new semi-automatic method to cluster terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data into meaningful sets of points to extract plant components. The approach is designed for small plants with distinguishable branches and leaves, such as tree seedlings. It first creates a graph by connecting each point to its most relevant neighbours, then embeds the graph into a spectral space, and finally segments the embedding into clusters of points. The process can then be iterated on each cluster separately. The main idea underlying the approach is that the spectral embedding of the graph aligns the points along the shape’s principal directions. A quantitative evaluation of the segmentation accuracy, as well as of leaf area (LA) estimates, is provided on a poplar seedling mock-up. It shows that the segmentation is robust with false-positive and false-negative rates of around 1%. Qualitative results on four contrasting plant species with three different scan resolution levels each are also shown.

title: Three-dimensional analysis of the Plio-Pleistocene seismic sequences in the Venice Lagoon (Italy)

description: Integrated seismic and well data provide for the first time a picture of the geological evolution of the Venice area over the last 5 Ma and a 3D subsoil model, which is fundamental to prediction of the anthropogenic uplift of Venice by seawater injection. A Pliocene southward prograding complex formed a shelf–slope system, whereas subsidence related to the Apennine foredeep development led to the establishment of a Early Pleistocene deep-water environment, favouring the accumulation of a thick turbidite succession. The NE progradation of the palaeo-Po river delta during the Middle Pleistocene promoted a drastic environmental revolution, followed by the deposition of cyclothems linked to glacio-eustatic changes.

title: The age of the Mesoproterozoic Stoer Group sedimentary and impact deposits, NW Scotland

description: The Mesoproterozoic Stoer Group of the ‘Torridonian' has been dated at 1177 ± 5 Ma (2σ), based on <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar dating of authigenic K-feldspars precipitated in degassing structures within the Stac Fada Member, interpreted previously as an impact ejecta deposit. Fluid inclusion analysis of the K-feldspar shows that it precipitated from hot fluids, and so must immediately post-date emplacement of the ejecta blanket. The oxygen isotopic composition of K-feldspar is remarkably constant at 9.7 ± 0.2‰ (V-SMOW) and is consistent with derivation from evaporated lake water. The new age supports previous determinations of 1199 ± 70 Ma from Pb–Pb dating of limestone and 1180 Ma from palaeomagnetic data, but provides much higher precision.

title: Geochemistry and U–Pb dating of felsic volcanic rocks in the Riotinto–Nerva unit, Iberian Pyrite Belt, Spain: crustal thinning, progressive crustal melting and massive sulphide genesis

description: We present new geochemical, Sm–Nd and U–Pb data on the felsic volcanic rocks containing the world-class volcanic-hosted massive sulphide deposits in the Riotinto–Nerva unit, Iberian Pyrite Belt, Spain. Three new U–Pb ages from older plagioclase–quartz-phyric dacites and plagioclase-phyric rhyolites to youngest plagioclase–quartz-phyric rhyolites indicate a time span for felsic volcanism ranging from 351.5 ± 0.4 to 345.7 ± 0.6 Ma. The youngest felsic rocks exhibit lower ε<sub>Nd</sub>, as well as contrasting Ti, Sr, Zr, Hf and Eu/Eu* values. We interpret that in the Riotinto–Nerva unit crustal melting successively affected shallower, more evolved horizons in the crust. Progressive crustal melting is consistent with current interpretations of the Iberian Pyrite Belt in terms of a late Devonian–Early Carboniferous transtensional setting, coupled with underplating by basic magma. We suggest that low ε<sub>Nd</sub>, evolved crustal magmatism could be used as a proxy in studies of the genesis of these and possibly other Phanerozoic massive sulphide deposits.

title: The possible role of extensional faults in localizing magmatic activity: a crustal model for the Campanian Volcanic Zone (eastern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)

description: Three crustal geological sections of the Campanian Volcanic Zone (Italy) were reconstructed by integrating basin architecture and deep well stratigraphies. In addition, mapping of the fault system and of large-volume ignimbrites was carried out. A linked fault system has been identified, which was responsible for asymmetric subsidence contemporaneous with the eruption of ignimbrites. Late Quaternary extension is characterized by a WNW–ESE stretching axis, NNE–SSW normal faults and reactivation of inherited structures. Structural, stratigraphic and palaeogeographical analyses reveal evidence for up to 750 m of subsidence, which has occurred at a mean rate of up to 4.9 mm a<sup>−1</sup> over the past 154 ka. These rates suggest that extensional tectonics was responsible for the regional subsidence. A 6 km deep seismic reflector was associated with a magmatic reservoir underlying Campi Flegrei. By matching the structural and stratigraphic architecture with published geophysical and geochemical data a crustal tectonomagmatic model was constructed that displays high-angle faults that root into a low-angle detachment, which in turn roots into a deep sill-like magma reservoir. This model suggests the possible role of extensional faults in localizing magmatic activity, as faults controlled magma rise from deep to shallow reservoirs and to the surface during ignimbrite eruptions.
