Matching of Granivorous Mammals of the Great Basin and Sonoran Deserts on a Species-for-Species Basis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Guilds of granivorous rodents from the Great Basin and Sonoran deserts appear similar in species number, overdispersion of body sizes and matching of body sizes on a species-for-species basis. Monte Carlo simulations, however, revealed that these guilds are not matched on a species-for-species basis. The apparent matching of species between these guilds is an artifact of selection for small size in granivorous, desert mammals. Overdispersion of body sizes within guilds did not increase matching between them. In general, purported cases of matching at the species level may, under closer scrutiny, prove to be artifacts of community convergence at coarser levels.
Distorted pattern fusion using wavelet transform

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An effective pattern fusion method based on wavelet transform is proposed. After geometric change, corrupt pattern images are obtained from distorted pictures. Considering the special characters of the pattern or text, a novel fusion scheme is then developed to de-noise, register and fuse in order to get a lucid one for further discrimination. The scheme is based on wavelet transform. The efficiency of this new method is verified by experimental results. To our knowledge, it is the first attempt to consider the pattern registration and fusion.

EFFECTS OF URETHANE-CHLORALOSE ANAESTHESIA ON RESPIRATION IN THE RAT

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

1. Respiratory effects were measured in rats during six hours' anaesthesia with urethane and chloralose. 2. One-hundred min from urethane administration, minute ventilation (VE) was minimal, arterial PO2 was low, arterial PCO2 was high; tidal volume (VT) and respiratory frequency (f) were relatively constant; hypercarbic and hypoxic responses were substantial. 3. Between 100 and 400 min from urethane administration, minute ventilation and frequency increased and became more variable, tidal volume remained relatively constant, arterial PO2 rose to 100 mmHg, PCO2 fell to 37 mmHg; hypercarbic sensitivity increased and hypoxic sensitivity decreased. 4. We conclude that the anaesthetic regime produced initial depression of respiration relative to metabolism but without great loss of respiratory chemosensitivity. The respiratory depression was prolonged by increased dosage with urethane and chloralose. 5. The variations between hypercarbic and hypoxic responses confirm that they operate through separate mechanisms.
Efficacy of a Single Session of Static Stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching on Hip Range of Motion After Exercise

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to compare a single bout of stretching; either static stretching (SS) or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching and no stretching (C) on hip range of motion (ROM) after walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Differences among stretching groups, between males and females for all ii subjects combined at baseline and post-test measurements were also investigated. Thirtyfive physically active, non-collegiate athlete volunteers (21 males, 14 females) between the ages of 18-26 were recruited to participate in this study. Descriptive statistics were obtained from each subject as well as exercise history regarding aerobic, resistance and flexibility training frequency and duration. All subjects participated in a five minute treadmill walking warm up, measurement of hip ROM, thirty minutes of walking on the treadmill at a moderate intensity (11-12 on Borg's RPE Scale) (Borg, 1982) followed by a stretching treatment and post-test measurement of hip ROM. The C group did not receive a stretching treatment; the SS group performed four researcher applied passive static stretches held for 30 seconds. The PNF group performed three researcher applied contract-relax stretches with a six second maximal contraction and a passive portion held for 20 seconds.

Abstract Detailed models of CO excitation in the circumstellar envelope of the late-type, carbon-rich Mira IRC + 10216 have been made in order to infer its physical properties. The best-fit model matches the intensities and shapes of all observed rotational CO lines from the object, including the J = 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, and 6-5 lines. From this model, it is determined that the gas kinetic temperature in the inner envelope is significantly larger than that predicted from a thermodynamic model which describes the extended outer envelope. The mass-loss rate in the inner envelope is significantly lower than in the outer envelope. A value of 3.2 x 10 to the -5th solar mass/yr is inferred compared to a value of 4.8 x 10 to the -5th for the extended envelope. These results indicate that the inner envelope represents a phase of reduced mass loss in the object.

Genetic Dissociation of Ethanol Sensitivity and Memory Formation in Drosophila melanogaster

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract The ad hoc genetic correlation between ethanol sensitivity and learning mechanisms in Drosophila could overemphasize a common process supporting both behaviors. To challenge directly the hypothesis that these mechanisms are singular, we examined the learning phenotypes of 10 new strains. Five of these have increased ethanol sensitivity, and the other 5 do not. We tested place and olfactory memory in each of these lines and found two new learning mutations. In one case, altering the tribbles gene, flies have a significantly reduced place memory, elevated olfactory memory, and normal ethanol response. In the second case, mutation of a gene we name ethanol sensitive with low memory (elm), place memory was not altered, olfactory memory was sharply reduced, and sensitivity to ethanol was increased. In sum, however, we found no overall correlation between ethanol sensitivity and place memory in the 10 lines tested. Furthermore, there was a weak but nonsignificant correlation between ethanol sensitivity and olfactory learning. Thus, mutations that alter learning and sensitivity to ethanol can occur independently of each other and this implies that the set of genes important for both ethanol sensitivity and learning is likely a subset of the genes important for either process.
Notes on the Life History of the Delicate Silver Y, Autographa pseudogamma (Grote, 1875) (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Noctuidae: Plusiinae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The egg, larval, and pupal stages of the plusiine moth Autographa pseudogamma (Grote, 1875) are discussed and illustrated based on a laboratory iso-female rearing of a wild moth collected near Big Sky, Montana, in mid-July 2016. Eggs, larval coloration and pattern, and pupae are very similar to those already known from close relatives in the genus Autographa Hübner, [1821]. DNA sequence data from the COI barcode region were used to generate a phylogenetic tree showing the position of A. pseudogamma amongst other North American members of the genus and to help confirm the identification of field-collected moths. Genetic analyses indicate that A. pseudogamma is most closely related to A. sansoni Dod, 1910, contrary to relationships previously generated based on morphology.
Synthesis of α-Amino Acidato Derivatives of Niobium and Tantalum Pentahalides and Their Conversion into Iminium Salts

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Dinuclear complexes of formula Nb2Cl9[O2CCH(R)NR'R″2-κO,κO] (R = CH2CHMe2, R' = R″ = H, 1a; R = CH2Ph, R' = R″ = H, 1b; R = CH2CH2SCH3, R' = R″ = H, 1c; R = R' = H, R″ = Me, 1d; R = CH2Ph, R' = R″ = Me, 1e; Nb2Cl9[O2C⌈CH(CH2)3NH⌉], 1f) were prepared by allowing NbCl5 to react in dichloromethane with the appropriate α-amino acid in 1:2 amino acid/Nb molar ratio. The 1:1 reactions between MX5 (M = Nb, Ta; X = Cl, Br) and a series of α-amino acids resulted in the formation of the iminium salts [(R)CH═NR'R″2][MX6] (R = CH2Ph, R' = R″ = Me: M = Nb, X = Cl, 2a; M = Nb, X = Br, 2b; M = Ta, X = Cl, 2c; M = Ta, X = Br, 2d; R = CH2Ph, R' = R″ = H, M = Nb: X = Cl, 3a; X = Br, 3b; R = CH2CHMe2, R' = R″ = H, M = Nb, X = Cl, 4; R = R' = H, R″ = Me, M = Nb, X = Cl, 5). The formate/amino acidate derivative NbCl3(O2CH)[O2CCH(CH2Ph)NMe2], 6, was isolated and identified as coproduct of the 1:1 reaction between NbCl5 and N,N-dimethyl-l-phenylalanine, leading to 2a. All of the compounds were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods and by X-ray diffractometry in the cases of 2a, 2b, and 2d. Moreover, density functional theory studies were carried out to shed light on mechanistic and structural aspects.

The acceptability of HIV immunization: Examining vaccine characteristics as determining factors

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The acceptance of a future HIV vaccine may be influenced, in part, by the characteristics of the vaccine itself. This study evaluated the relationship of vaccine characteristics to acceptability of hypothetical HIV immunization. Subjects were 549 undergraduates (18-56 years of age); 70.3% were female, and 80.4% were non-Hispanic white. Subjects completed a self-administered questionnaire assessing a series of 12 hypothetical vaccines that varied along the dimensions of efficacy (80 or 50%), cost (free or $300) and social saturation or percentage of the population already vaccinated (10, 50 or 90%). The vaccines were each rated on an 11-point scale ranging from zero ('I will never get this vaccine') to 100 ('I will definitely get this vaccine'), in increments of ten. All three dimensions were significantly associated with probability of vaccine acceptance, particularly vaccine efficacy and cost. The highest rated vaccine (free, 80% efficacious, 90% saturation level) received a mean acceptability score of 83.4, whereas the lowest rated vaccine ($300, 50% efficacious, 10% saturation level) received a mean score of 32.8. The mean acceptability rating across all 12 vaccines was 55.14. These findings indicate the potential importance of considering the influence of vaccine characteristics in future HIV immunization programmes.
Effects of the vibrations of powered hand tools on users: A case study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Powered hand tools reduce the time spent on tasks; however, they generate vibrations which may pose signifi cant risk to operators' health. In this study, the impact of power hand tools on users was considered. Five basic power hand tools were identifi ed and the impact of vibration was assessed on users. Digital vibration meter was used to measure the vibration produced on fi ve operators while operating the identifi ed power tools. Values obtained from each operator were imputed to the hand-arm vibration calculator to determine daily exposure limit and total exposure point for each of them. Results obtained indicate daily exposure limit of 4.08, 11.64, 21.06, 46.96 and 62.36 m/s2; and average total exposure point of 261, 2242, 7107, 35436, and 63781; for hand milling machine, hand drilling machine, grinding machine, hand mower, and lawn mower respectively. Among the power tools examined, it is only the exposure vibration from hand milling machine that was within the recommended acceptable daily exposure limit of 5 m/s2 and total exposure point of 400. Measures were suggested to lessen the exposure time and vibration magnitude the operators are exposed to so as to reduce the probability of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) among the operators.
Nonfinancial Disclosure and Analyst Forecast Accuracy: International Evidence on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between disclosure of nonfinancial information and analyst forecast accuracy using firm-level data from 31 countries. We use the issuance of stand-alone corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports to proxy for disclosure of nonfinancial information. We find that the issuance of stand-alone CSR reports is associated with lower analyst forecast error. This relationship is stronger in countries that are more stakeholder-oriented—i.e., in countries where CSR performance is more likely to affect firm financial performance. The relationship is also stronger for firms and countries with more opaque financial disclosure, suggesting that issuance of stand-alone CSR reports plays a role complementary to financial disclosure. These results hold after we control for various factors related to firm financial transparency and other potentially confounding institutional factors. Collectively, our findings have important implications for academics and practitioners in understanding the function of CSR disclosure in financial markets.

Formation and Ionization Potentials of Lead Clusters

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Clusters of lead atoms have been produced by an adiabatic expansion of the vapour in a high temperature crucible through a small hole into a vacuum. These clusters have been ionized by electron bombardment and analysed with a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Clusters of up to ten atoms have been observed, and Pb 7 , with the highest intensity. The relative abundance of the clusters is higher at higher crucible temperatures and/or with larger hole diameters. Ionization potentials of the clusters of up to seven atoms have also been measured. The change in the ionization potentials shows the same trend as that in an effective work function of a continuum metal drop.
Clinical utility of metabolic syndrome severity scores: considerations for practitioners

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Mark D DeBoer,1,2 Matthew J Gurka2 11Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, VA, 2Department of Health Outcomes and Policy, College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Abstract: The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is marked by abnormalities in central obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and high fasting glucose and appears to be produced by underlying processes of inflammation, oxidative stress, and adipocyte dysfunction. MetS has traditionally been classified based on dichotomous criteria that deny that MetS-related risk likely exists as a spectrum. Continuous MetS scores provide a way to track MetS-related risk over time. We generated MetS severity scores that are sex- and race/ethnicity-specific, acknowledging that the way MetS is manifested may be different by sex and racial/ethnic subgroup. These scores are correlated with long-term risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Clinical use of scores like these provide a potential opportunity to identify patients at highest risk, motivate patients toward lifestyle change, and follow treatment progress over time.

Interstitial deletion of chromosome 7: A case report and review of the literature

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

A de novo deletion 7q11→q21.2 was identified in a newborn with genital and other minor clinical abnormalities and some degree of psychomotor retardation. A review of the literature revealed a number of cases of deletion 7q, which can be categorized into three groups according to their breakpoints, Attempts to correlate phenotype with genotype in these cases have been only moderately successful, and as yet only deletion 7q32→qter can be associated with a definite clinical syndrome, although a tentative syndrome may be postulated in association with deletion of region 7q22→7q31.
Peri-And Post-Operative Comparison Of 24 Hour Ph Monitoring Results In Patients Who With Laparoscopic Ant-Reflux Surgery

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common medical problem affecting the quality of life and causing morbidity.Twenty four hour pH monitoring is the most sensitive and specific test in diagnosing GERD.The aim of this study is to compare pre-and post-operative 24 h pH monitoring results, life quality, and demographic features of patients with GERD diagnosis who underwent laparoscopic ant-reflux surgery. Materials and Methods:In this study, 40 patients who were referred to Afyon Kocatepe university hospital general surgery clinic between January 2016 and August 2017, diagnosed with GERD and underwent laparoscopic ant-reflux surgery were enrolled.The results of pre-and at least 3 months post-operative 24-h pH monitoring were compared.Results: Of those 40 patients who were enrolled to the study 16(40%) were male and 24 (60%) were female.The overage age of the male patients was 47.65±15.3,and the average age of the females was 42.55±13.5.It was observed that the quality of life scores of the patients, evaluated with GERD-HRQL in the pre-operative period, decreased statistically significantly in the post-operative period.(p=0.001)The pre-operative DeMeester Score of all patients was above the normal value, and when the post-operative analysis results were examined, it was observed that the reflux parameter results decreased. Conclusion:It has been shown that the post-operative 24-h pH monitoring results in patients who underwent laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery decreased significantly compared to the pre-operative results.It was observed that the symptoms were brought under control and the quality of life was improved in the patients.Based on these results, Nissen fundoplication is a successful and effective procedure.24 h pH monitoring should be done post anti-reflux surgery to assess the effectiveness of the procedure and symptom post-surgery.
