Measurement of forest disturbance and regrowth with Landsat and forest inventory and analysis data: anticipated benefits from forest and inventory analysis' collaboration with the national aeronautics and space administration and university partners

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program has partnered with researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the University of Maryland, and other U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service units to identify disturbance patterns across the United States using FIA plot data and time series of Landsat satellite images. Spatially explicit predictions of biomass loss and gain from 1972 to 2002 will be produced in 2-year intervals using 25 Landsat scenes distributed throughout the country. The map-based analyses that will be made possible through this collaboration will complement FIA's current ability to track disturbances at the county and State level.
Re‐randomization tests in clinical trials

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

As randomization methods use more information in more complex ways to assign patients to treatments, analysis of the resulting data becomes challenging. The treatment assignment vector and outcome vector become correlated whenever randomization probabilities depend on data correlated with outcomes. One straightforward analysis method is a re‐randomization test that fixes outcome data and creates a reference distribution for the test statistic by repeatedly re‐randomizing according to the same randomization method used in the trial. This article reviews re‐randomization tests, especially in nonstandard settings like covariate‐adaptive and response‐adaptive randomization. We show that re‐randomization tests provide valid inference in a wide range of settings. Nonetheless, there are simple examples demonstrating limitations.
Health Psychological Self-Sufficiency (Health-PSS): A Bottom-Up Human-Social Development Approach to Health Equity

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This article presents a community-based participatory action research process in a mixed-methods study to uncover a holistic perspective on what constitutes “good health and well-being” as one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This bottom-up approach to defining health from the community perspective challenges the general government and health industry assumptions and practices to promote top-down health equity. Applying the definition of social development as “achieving a civil society based on freedom and justice”, the emerging findings adds to the social determinants of health framework in health disparities research. As multiple stakeholders added to the definitions of health and well-being, a process-based understanding of health emerged. Health psychological self-sufficiency (Health-PSS) is a process of recogniting various individual and structural barriers and reaching for improved health-related goals with hope actions leading to health empowerment in literacy, access, and outcomes. Human-social development implications for promoting health equity by building an inclusive health system with a culture of co-sufficiency that align individual and organizational processes are discussed.
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Related Inflammation: Case Reports and Imaging Pitfalls (P2.105)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVE: To review two cases of cerebral amyloid angiopathy related inflammation (CAA-I) and discuss diagnostic considerations with imaging for CAA-I. BACKGROUND: CAA-I is a rare cause of encephalopathy, seizures, and focal neurologic deficits resulting from an inflammatory response to beta-amyloid peptide deposits in cerebral vasculature. DESIGN/METHODS: Case reports (n=2) with review of imaging and literature. RESULTS : Case 1. A 77 year old woman with multiple vascular risk factors presented with left hemiplegia, right-sided sensory extinction, dysarthria, and progressive altered mental status. MRI showed confluent bilateral white matter lesions. She was initially diagnosed with subacute stroke. Gradient echo-T2* images showed a few remote microbleeds. Upon transfer to our institution, repeat MRI with susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) demonstrated innumerable microbleeds, suggesting CAA-I. She was treated with glucocorticoids and improved dramatically over several months. Case 2. An 87 year old man with a history of dementia presented with an acute change in behavior that progressed to decreased alertness. An MRI revealed extensive white matter changes as well as numerous microbleeds on SWI. He was treated with glucocorticoids and was improving in an inpatient rehabilitation facility until he passed away under unclear circumstances. CONCLUSIONS: CAA-I can be identified by characteristic MRI findings, and evidence of microbleeds in the presence of inflammation is supportive of the diagnosis in the right clinical picture. Both cases were clinically consistent with CAA-I, presenting with subacute cognitive changes. Commonly available imaging techniques such as gradient echo -T2* may not be sensitive enough to reliably make the diagnosis. Our first case reveals that SWI was needed to make the diagnosis of CAA-I. The sensitivity of different imaging sequences should be weighed when considering the diagnosis, particularly as this affects both prognosis and treatment.
CSR by Chinese Multinational Enterprises: Drivers of Global Integration and Local Responsiveness

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs) face increasing tensions over global CSR integration and local CSR responsiveness. Drawing on institutional theory and applying fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, this study explores how 29 of China’s globally most influential MNEs respond to these opposing demands. We find that state influence and membership in global CSR associations affect global CSR integration, whereas presence in the West and internationalization through mergers and acquisitions tend to predict local CSR responsiveness. Further, multicultural experience in top management teams tends to be associated with both dimensions, supporting notions of transnational CSR. Theoretically, our findings suggest a synergetic theoretical perspective in that the CSR strategies of MNEs from emerging markets respond to predefined patterns of isomorphic pressures across institutional environments due to legitimacy reasons but are also affected by the distinctive institutional characteristics of their home countries. We aim to advance the theoretical understanding as to how MNEs address the tensions of global CSR integration and local CSR responsiveness, stimulating a closer integration of the international business and CSR-related literature by studying the antecedents of emerging market MNEs’ CSR strategies.
The effect of several sugars on the growth of Cladosporium herbarum and Trichothecium roseum

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The growth response of two fungi, Cladosporium herbarum (Link.) Fr. and Trichothecium roseum (Bull.)Link., was studied on six carbon sources at three concentrations.Sucrose proved to be the best carbohydrate source for Cladosporium, but Trichothecium could not use this compound for growth.Glucose, mannose and fructose were utilized almost equally well by C .herbarum.Glucose was the best carbohydrate for T .roseum, and mannose and fructose were also growth-promoting.Galactose and arabinose proved to be very weak carbon sources for both fungi.It seems evident that the carbohydrate composition of the nutrient medium must have a great effect on the growth of these fungi .
Simultaneous display of functional ligands on protein nanocage

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The main objective of this project is to improve upon the current treatment of melasma by targeting melanocytes. This would be done by having a treatment that is both penetrative and specific. This novel approach is done by conjugating E2 protein cage together with space peptides to alpha peptide. Space peptides and alpha peptides are what make this treatment specific and penetrative, as it will target the melanocytes and the dermis and epidermis itself. The conjugation method that was used was the EDC-NHS Conjugation method. This particular conjugation method has varying critical parameters that need to be optimized in order for the EDC-NHS conjugation to be successful. The critical parameters include concentration of protein, pH and also molar ratio between the two proteins. After the conjugation is done, to know whether a conjugation is successful, either mass spectrometry and/or SDS-Page is done. When there is a conjugation, there will be a shift in the weight of the protein to show that it has successfully attached to the protein cage.

Transrectal Ultrasonography in Stage a Prostate Cancer: Detection of Residual Tumor after Transurethral Resection of Prostate

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To evaluate the ability of transrectal ultrasonography to detect residual cancer in the prostate gland after transurethral resection in patients with stage A cancer, we studied 38 patients with stage A disease (11 stage A1 and 27 stage A2) in whom transrectal ultrasonography was done at least 3 weeks after resection. Each patient underwent radical prostatectomy, and residual cancer was present in 97% of the specimens (peripheral zone cancer in 95% and transition zone cancer in 61%). At sonography we identified hypoechoic areas suggestive of cancer in 10 patients (26%). In the pathological specimen residual cancer was present at the hypoechoic area in 8 of these cases (positive predictive value 80%). In a retrospective review of the sonograms we identified 25 hypoechoic lesions greater than 5 mm. in diameter, including 15 that corresponded to cancer in the radical prostatectomy specimens (positive predictive value 60%). Granulomas due to the transurethral resection were found in 92% of the radical prostatectomy specimens but none appeared hypoechoic on ultrasound. A total of 103 separate cancers was identified in the whole mount step sections of the radical prostatectomy specimens (2.7 cancers per patient). Of the 103 separate cancers 54 were less than 0.1 cc in volume and none of these could be identified in the retrospective review of the sonograms, 37 were 0.1 to 1.0 cc and 5 of these (14%) appeared hypoechoic, and 12 were greater than 1.0 cc and 10 of these (83%) appeared hypoechoic. Hypoechoic lesions greater than 5 mm. in diameter in the transition zone proved to be cancer in 47% of the cases, while 88% of similar lesions in the peripheral zone proved to be cancer. We conclude that suspicious-appearing hypoechoic lesions suggestive of cancer, whether in the peripheral zone or the transition zone, should be biopsied before expectant management of stage A prostate cancer is considered. Transrectal ultrasonography is useful for restaging after transurethral resection and for evaluating the extent of residual cancer in stages A1 and A2 prostate cancer.
BUILDING BOOKS FROM BOOKS THE NEXT PAGE IN PUBLISHING

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This report documents the launch of a new Web application (BookRiff) as a case study of one opportunity for the book publishing industry to increase revenues by diversifying digital publishing platforms. Because this application is a venture of D&amp;M Publishers Inc, it has a unique position among other digital initiatives that largely originate outside of the industry. As such, this study demonstrates both the needs of the publishing industry to expand digital revenue streams, and the capabilities and limitations of Internet applications to respond to those needs. Part one describes publishers’ current goals relating to digitization. Part two describes BookRiff as a viable incentive to overcome current problems, as well as a revolutionary idea in the digital publishing area. Part three documents building the site to demonstrate how publishers’ concerns are dealt with as the application takes shape, and how they will come into play as it continues to evolve.

Źródła pozyskiwania wiedzy i ocena jej poziomu przez producentów żywca w świetle badań ankietowych

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The aim of this study is assessing livestock producers’ interest in acquiring information and knowledge useful in the management of farm, an indication of what their sources and to assess whether this knowledge seems to be the necessary and useful. The data source was a survey carried out in 2010-2011 in three provinces in a group of agricultural producers involved in the production of animals for slaughter. Majority of the agricultural producers declared the desire to acquire information. The larger the scale of production, the information needs were greater and the sources of obtaining it changed. In particular, the role of objective information obtained from local sources, and information services has increased. The data indicate that the producers had little knowledge about the functioning of the market, and competitive markets.
Core-excited metastable levels: application to spectroscopy, to the generation of picosecond extreme-ultraviolet pulses, and to lasers

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The paper reviews both the properties and the applications of core-excited metastable atoms. The production of these atoms by microwaves, pulsed hollow-cathode discharges, and laser-produced x rays is described. We discuss the application of these atoms to several new types of spectroscopy that allow autoionizing linewidths as narrow as 0.1 cm−1 to be measured. The application of these metastables to the generation of picosecond-time-scale soft-x-ray pulses and to XUV lasers is also discussed.
Investigation on a new compact wideband rhombic dielectric resonator antenna

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this article, a new rhombic dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) is proposed. Dominant mode and a few of the higher order modes that are excited in this DRA are identified through eigen mode analysis performed through computer simulation technology (CST) simulation. Empirical formulae for calculating the resonant frequency of these identified modes are developed through curve-fitting approximation. Feeding techniques and possible ways of exciting some of these modes generated in such DRA are also detailed. Investigations are further carried out to identify appropriate feed positions to achieve broadband operation of such DRA geometry. The radiation patterns at different frequencies and variation of gain within the antenna bandwidth are measured for a fabricated prototype and compared with the simulation results.

The Effect of Within Stimulus Presentation in Implicit Sequence Learning

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The tacit and incidental acquisition of sequential information can occur in tasks from air-traffic control to crossing the streets in a crowded metropolis. The present study investigated how implicit sequence learning occurs when attention is divided amongst tasks. Our conceptualization of implicit sequence learning is that dual task interference arises from multiple control processes in the secondary task. This fits with findings that implicit learning remains intact when a within stimulus dual task is employed, where the stimulus for both tasks is incorporated within a single stimulus. However, a direct comparison with the standard dual task condition has not been presented. This comparison revealed another possible explanation for dual task interference in implicit sequence learning, that longer inter-trial intervals, a function of the within stimulus methodology, result in better performance and implicit learning. The data suggest that implicit learning and overall performance in a task that contains an incidental, consistent structure is optimized when stimuli are contained within a single stimulus.
Wybory samorządowe w polsce po 2002 roku – ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem frekwencji wyborczej

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter presents an analysis of the evolution of the process of holding local government elections in Poland over the last two decades. According to the authors, the period after 1989 can be characterized as a permanent battle for the reform of local government structures. For the analysis, the period from 2002 to 2024 was selected from the history of local government elections in Poland. Such a time caesura was adopted due to the fact that since 2002 these elections have been direct. Thus, the overarching aim of the chapter was to explain the course of local government elections with a particular focus on local government electoral participation. In this connection, the turnout of local government elections in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2018 and 2024 was analyzed. As the turnout level in the last local government elections of 2024 shows, the trend of increasing electoral participation since 2002 has unfortunately not assumed a progressive character. According to the authors, it is difficult to assess the direction of further development in this area as the analyzed voter turnout is incomparable to the level of voter participation in either parliamentary or presidential elections. The chapter was written using research methods such as the content analysis method, the systematic method, and the statistical method.
