A fast VLSI-efficient self-routing permutation network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A multistage self-routing permutation network is presented. This network is constructed from concentrators and digit-controlled 2/spl times/4 switches. A destination-tag routing scheme is used to realize any arbitrary permutation. The network has O(log/sup 2/ N) gate-delay and uses O(N/sup 2/) VLSI-area, where N is the number of inputs. Assuming packet-switching is used for message transmission, the delay and VLSI-area of the network are smaller than those of any self-routing permutation network presented to date.< >

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

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Structural Evolution of Extended Continental Crust Deciphered From the Cretaceous Batholith in SE China, a Kinmen Island Perspective

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

&lt;p&gt;The continental crust of southeast Asia underwent from thickening, thinning to almost rifting during the Mesozoic era as the active continental margin transformed into a passive one. Such crustal thinning history is well-preserved in the Kinmen Island, as the lower crustal granitoids retrograded and rapidly exhumed to surface that were crosscutted by mafic dike swarm. Kinmen Island is situated on the SE coast of Asia, featured by the widespread Cretaceous magmatism as the Paleo-Pacific plate subducted and rollbacked underneath the South China block. Although these complex magmatism are well reported and studied, their associated structural evolution and plate kinematics have not been clearly deciphered. Detailed field mapping, structural measurement, and petrographic analysis of the Kinmen Island were conducted. Up to five deformation events accompanied with five relevant magmatic episodes as well as their corresponding kinematic setting are reconstructed. The &amp;#8764;129 Ma Chenggong Tonalite (G&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;) preserved all deformation events identified in this study, which marks the lower bound timing of all reported events. D&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;formed a gneiss dome with the Taiwushan Granite (&amp;#8764;139 Ma) at the core bounded by moderately dipping gneissic foliation (S&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;) as crust extended. D&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;formed subhorizontal S-tectonite (S&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) with further exhumation of D&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;gneiss dome due to middle-to-lower crustal flow associated with further crustal thinning. D&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;formed a sinistral ENE-WSW striking steeply S dipping shear belts with well-developed S/C/C&amp;#8217; fabrics. The moderately E-plunging lineation on C surface indicates its transtensional nature. Widespread garnet-bearing leucogranite (G&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) associated with decompressional melting showed long lasting intrusion prior to D&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;until post D&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;. D&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;&amp;#160;was the intrusion of biotite-bearing Tienpu Granite (&amp;#8764;100 Ma; G&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;) that truncated G&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, G&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, and all fabrics, which was followed by the intrusion of E-W striking, steeply dipping biotite-bearing pegmatite (G&lt;sub&gt;4&lt;/sub&gt;) as the crust further extended. The youngest deformation event (D&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;) was NE-SW striking subvertical mafic dike swarm (G&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;; 90&amp;#8211;76 Ma) due to mantle upwelling through significantly thinned crust. By integrating the structural evolution and the previously reported strain pattern, we delineate the slab rollback direction of the Paleo-Pacific plate, which changed from northeastward (129&amp;#8764;114 Ma) to southeastward (107&amp;#8764;76 Ma). This plate kinematic movement switched during 114&amp;#8211;107 Ma.&lt;/p&gt;
Anticipating the Self: Toward a Personal Construct Model of Emotion

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Previous accounts of the role of emotion in construct theory place insufficient emphasis on the constructive role of emotion as a “feeling toward.” Emotion is regarded either as an epiphenomenon of acts of construal or as an outcome of prior cognitive processes. It is argued in this paper that emotion performs an anticipatory role in pursuit of the current concerns of the self, a view that follows from a closer analysis of the function of anticipation. A revision of the control systems theory of Carver and Scheier (1981) is proposed, in which emotional anticipation at the level of the self is distinguished from schema-based anticipation at the level of behavior. Given the framework of personal construct theory as a method of analysis, this revised view of emotion enables a range of self-concept processes to be better understood.

Evaluation of test methods for testing of sealants

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Living walls are nowadays becoming an essential part of building indoor or outdoor architecture. Through their ability of managing water, living walls are offering a considerable potential in waste water treatment technologies, also suitable for grey water. Integration of living walls into grey water system is relatively new concept. Design of functional grey water system using living wall, requires individual system parts specification, considering the treatment ability and options in addition to add this system only as a secondary treatment or focus on the characteristics improvement and apply only living walls treatment. According to the wide range of factors influencing the design of this technology, we focused on the system layout and variables affecting the system design.
Arthritis: In the Eye of the Beholder?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The definition of “arthritis” is varied and often contextual. Webster’s Dictionary defines arthritis as “inflammation of joints due to infectious, metabolic, or constitutional causes; also: a specific arthritic condition”1, whereas Wikipedia defines arthritis less specifically as “a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body”2. The lay public often thinks of arthritis as a painful condition of the joints or their surrounding structures, a definition based primarily on symptoms. For physicians who treat arthritis or conduct clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of new therapies, existing clinical and radiographic criteria for arthritis can be applied to an individual patient at a specific point in time. In order to study large numbers of patients, epidemiologists strive for more convenient and accessible definitions of disease such as diagnosis codes or patient self-report, although both these approaches have the inevitable limitation of low, and usually undetermined, sensitivity and specificity relative to a clinical examination. The manuscript by Dr. Singh in this issue of The Journal 3 clearly compares the differences between 2 commonly used sources for assembling cohorts for epidemiologic analysis: administrative databases that incorporate International Classification of Diseases ICD-9 codes and patient self-report. This study evaluated 34,400 veterans who received care within a large veterans’ service network and responded to a mailed survey about quality of life4. Among other questions about demographics, health care insurance status and utilization, comorbid conditions, and standardized quality of life measures, the survey asked participants “Has your doctor ever told you that you have arthritis (including rheumatoid or osteoarthritis)?” Responses to this question were compared with ICD-9 codes for any type of arthritis found in the administrative record and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug or disease modifying antirheumatic drug prescriptions from in the US Veterans Affairs (VA) pharmacy database in … Address correspondence to Dr. Chakravarty.

cytokine (ADK) levels and important clinical outcomes.Methods: 75 patients with chronic HCV were genotyped with Taqman primers for rs12979860 (CC, CT and TT) genotype.Patients underwent extensive ADK profiling using chemiluminesence antibody assays on micro-titer plates.ADK distributions between IL28B genotype and clinical phenotypes were compared using the Mann-Whitney-U test.Logistic regression directly tested association with SVR in treated patients, and the presence of hepatic steatosis (any, (>2% hepatocytes with steatosis) or significant steatosis, (>30%).Area under receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis was conducted for SVR in G1/4 patients only.Results: The cohort consisted of 53 males/22 females with an IL28B genotype frequency of CC:30; CT:34; TT:11.Mean BMI was 28 mg/kg2.Average age was 50 years.HCV genotype distribution was G1:41, G2:14, G3:16, G4:2,untyped:2; 57% G1/4.A minority of patients underwent interferon-based regimens for HCV (n=33, SVR=9/33).Adipokines differing by IL28B genotype included IL-12p70 (P=0.012),IL-1b (P=0.009),IL-2 (P=0.017),IL-6 (P=0.009) and CXCL9 (P=0.005)-ADKsinvolved in cell-mediated immune response.IP-10 and IFNa levels were not significantly different by Il28B, but correlated to each other (R=-0.23,P=0.046).No candidate ADKs implicated in fibrogenesis or adipogenesis significantly differed by IL28B genotype.No ADKs were associated with steatosis.When restricted to HCV G1/4 sub-analysis, significant IL28B-based differences in ADKs included IL-12p40 (P=0.013),IL-6 (P=0.006) and CXCL9 (P=0.005) but none differed in HCV G2/3 sub-analysis.Only MMP-1 significantly differed between HCV genotypes (HCV G1/4 vs 2/3, P=0.001).Comparison of ADK distributions in treated patients, showed significant differences in SVR vs non-SVR for CXCL9 (P= 0.003), ICAM (P=0.002), and IP-10 (P=0.002).Testing of these variables' association with SVR on univariate logistic regression demonstrated: IP-10 (P=0.014);ICAM P=0.021); CXCL9 (P=0.017), but none significant on multivariate regression.Individual ROCs for non-SVR in G1/4 patients (n=14) for ADKs as continuous are shown in Figure .Conclusion: Selected cytokines related to immune response differ by IL28B genotype.CXCL9 and IP10 demonstrated better predictive utility for SVR than IL28B and warrant further verification in larger cohorts receving IFN-based therapies.
The potential of the professional portfolio for nursing

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Summary Professional profiles and portfolios have recently been identified by nursing's regulatory bodies in the UK as ways of recording each nurse's career and professional development. Although the use of portfolios is widespread in education, the concept of a developmental portfolio to support continuing professional development on an individual basis is recent. As an innovation in nursing the portfolio is to be used for periodic registration with the UK Central Council (UKCC), for the on‐going recording of learning, both formal and experiential, and as a way of accrediting prior learning for academic purposes. This paper argues that the potential of the portfolio is wider than the purposes already identified in that the knowledge generated from experiential learning and identified by reflective practice is of specific interest and value to the nursing profession as a whole. In particular portfolios are likely to record the knowledge embedded in practice, which is often hard to describe, yet represents nursing's expertise. For this potential to be realized pragmatic issues such as finance, time and verification of experiences need to be addressed, and an infrastructure created to support the nurse compiling the profile.
Regional Environment Risk Assessment Over Space and Time: A Case of China

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Faced with increasingly serious environmental risks, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the regional environment to provide a solid foundation for environmental policies and actions in the future. This article builds a composite environment risk index that considers spatiotemporal factors and uses annual socio-economic and environmental data of China’s 31 provincial administrative regions from 2004 to 2019 to quantitatively analyze environmental risks. Furthermore, the article employs a panel data model to empirically test the key factors that lead to environmental risks. Moreover, this article employs SVAR models to analyze the dynamics of regional environmental systems in China. The study finds that, at least at this stage, the environmental risks in provincial regions in China are still relatively high, and the key factors of the risks are economic growth, urbanization development, secondary industry growth, and green policy. Therefore, China must adopt more stringent environmental protection policies and actions in the future.
Maintenance Dialysis Population Dynamics

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Despite a general recognition that treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has become a large-scale undertaking, the size of the treated population and the associated costs are not well quantified. This report combines data available from a variety of sources and places the current (midyear 2001) estimated global maintenance dialysis population at just over 1.1 million patients. The size of this population has been expanding at a rate of 7% per year. Total therapy cost per patient per year in the United States is approximately 66,000 dollars. Assuming that this figure is a reasonable global average, the annual worldwide cost of maintenance ESRD therapy in the year 2001, excluding renal transplantation, will be between 70 and 75 billion US dollars. If current trends in ESRD prevalence continue, as seems probable, the ESRD population will exceed 2 million patients by the year 2010. The care of this group represents a major societal commitment: the aggregate cost of treating ESRD during the coming decade will exceed 1 trillion dollars, a thought-provoking sum by any economic metric.
Comparison of water, DTPA, and nitric acid as extractants to assess the availability of copper in peat substrates

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract An experiment was conducted to assess the suitability of three extractants, water (H2O), 0.005M DTPA, and 0.4M nitric acid (HNO3) for determining plant available copper (Cu) in peat substrates. Cucumber was used as a test crop. Four levels of Cu were compared in two peat substrates, each at two pH levels. There was good correlation between Cu extractable in H2O, DTPA, and HN03 and the Cu content of cucumber leaves, the correlations being 0.88, 0.87, and 0.89, respectively. These correlation coefficients did not differ significantly. It was concluded that all three extractants are suitable for estimating Cu availability in peat substrates.

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

TKS4 scaffold protein is involved in the formation of invadopodia, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by tumor cells and other cellular processes. Aim. To identify new TKS4 partners involved in the actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and endo-/exocytosis. Methods. The GST pull-down assay was used to identify the interaction. Results. We revealed that TKS4 SH3 domains interact with the actin cytoskeleton reorganization proteins N-WASP and CR16, as well as with DNM2, SYNJ1 and OPHN1 which are involved in endo-/exocytosis. We also tested the WIP, WIRE, SHIP2, RhoU, RhoV and NUMB proteins, but their interaction with the SH3 domains of TKS4 was not found. Conclusions. The SH3 domains of TKS4 interact with N-WASP, DNM2, SYNJ1, OPHN1 and weakly with CR16 in vitro.
The Prevalence And Correlation of Placental Malaria Parasitaemia with Neonatal Malaria and Anaemia in Orlu, South - East Nigeria

Background: In Nigeria, Malaria affects 70% of pregnant women with maternal and foetal complications. One in four pregnant women has placental malaria parasitaemia which is linked to a lot of poor neonatal outcomes, like neonatal malaria and anaemia.Aim: To determine the prevalence of placental malaria parasitaemia and its correlation with neonatal malaria and anaemia.Methods: Four hundred consenting parturients were used in this descriptive prospective study. It was conducted in three hospitals between May 15th, 2015 and with a P-value of <0.05 considered as significant.Results: The mean age of the 400 women was 26.2±7.7 years, the mean parity was 1.3±2.2, while the mean gestational age was 39.9±2.5 weeks. Out of this, neonatal malaria occurred in 70.5% (31/44), while only 3.4%Conclusion: Placental malaria parasitaemia is common in Orlu. It has a positive correlation with neonatal malaria and anaemia. It is important that malaria control and preventive October 31st, 2015, having secured ethical clearance from the hospitals. Interviewer based questionnaires were used to collect information on the biosocial characteristics, parity, gestational age and number of antenatal visits during the index pregnancy from the consenting parturients. Blood samples were collected from the placenta and the umbilical cord for examination of malaria parasites (MP). Another sample of cord blood were collected for estimation of foetal packed cell volumes (PCV). The results were analyzed using the 2008 Epi-Info Tm statistical software (12/356) of women without placental malaria had neonatal malaria (P = 0.0001). Twenty nine point five percent (13/44) of the women had low packed cell volume, while 40.7% (145/356) of women without placental malaria parasitaemia had low packed cell volume (P= 0. 001). measures in pregnancy be further emphasized and strictly adhered to.
Biomass Production and Potential Fixed Nitrogen Inputs from Leguminous Cover Crops in Subtropical Avocado Plantations

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Nitrogen (N) fertiliser is applied to perennial horticultural crops to increase yields, but subsequent N losses in subtropical plantations may be high due to intense rainfall and warmer temperatures. While legume cover crops could potentially contribute N to the tree crops and reduce fertiliser-N requirements, few studies have quantified potential fixed-N inputs from cover crops legumes in tropical or subtropical tree crop systems. To address this, we investigated growth and N fixation of summer-growing Pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi Krapov. & W. C. Greg cv. Amarillo) and winter/spring dominant white clover (Trifolium repens L. cv. Haifa) grown as a mixed species cover crop in two commercial subtropical avocado (Persea americana Mill. cv. Hass) plantations. Legume biomass was assessed prior to mowing of the inter-row (fortnightly in summer and every 6–8 weeks over winter) and N fixation was estimated using the 15N natural abundance technique. Biomass production was 7377 kg ha−1 (930 kg ha−1 for white clover and 6447 kg ha−1 for Pinto peanut) at the first site over the 14-month period from December 2014 to January 2016, and 4467 kg ha−1 (1114 kg ha−1 for white clover and 3353 kg ha−1 for Pinto peanut) at the second site over the same period. Estimation of N fixation was not possible at the first site, due to a lack of difference in isotopic discrimination between the legume shoots and the reference plant (kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum Chiov.)) material. While legume shoots accumulated 157 kg N ha−1 (38 kg ha−1 for white clover and 119 kg ha−1 for Pinto peanut) across the season at site 1, the % N derived from atmosphere (%Ndfa) in legumes was relatively low (50–60% in Pinto peanut during the warmer months and around 30% in autumn and early spring, and from 13 % in April to 69% in September for white clover). The low %Ndfa in the legumes may have been due to low rainfall or molybdenum (Mo) deficiency. Ultimately the legume cover crops contributed an estimated 50 kg fixed N ha−1, which could partially offset fertiliser N requirements of the tree crop. Our results demonstrate the need to quantify N fixation in legume cover crops to assess potential N benefits as opposed to relying on typical measurements of legume biomass and N accumulation.
