Aortic Arch Plaques and Risk of Recurrent Stroke and Death

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background— Aortic arch plaques are a risk factor for ischemic stroke. Although the stroke mechanism is conceivably thromboembolic, no randomized studies have evaluated the efficacy of antithrombotic therapies in preventing recurrent events. Methods and Results— The relationship between arch plaques and recurrent events was studied in 516 patients with ischemic stroke who were double-blindly randomized to treatment with warfarin or aspirin as part of the Patent Foramen Ovale in Cryptogenic Stroke Study (PICSS), based on the Warfarin-Aspirin Recurrent Stroke Study (WARSS). Plaque thickness and morphology were evaluated by transesophageal echocardiography. End points were recurrent ischemic stroke or death over a 2-year follow-up. Large plaques (≥4 mm) were present in 19.6% of patients; large complex plaques (those with ulcerations or mobile components) were seen in 8.5%. During follow-up, large plaques were associated with a significantly increased risk of events (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 4.32), especially those with complex morphology (HR, 2.55; 95 CI, 1.10 to 5.89). The risk was highest among cryptogenic stroke patients, both for large plaques (HR, 6.42; 95% CI, 1.62 to 25.46) and large complex plaques (HR, 9.50; 95% CI, 1.92 to 47.10). Event rates were similar in the warfarin and aspirin groups in the overall study population (16.4% versus 15.8%; P =0.43). Conclusions— In patients with stroke, especially cryptogenic stroke, large aortic plaques remain associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke and death at 2 years despite treatment with warfarin or aspirin. Complex plaque morphology confers a slight additional increase in risk.
Web Surveyâ€™s Completion Rates: Effects of Forced Responses, Question Display Styles, and Subjectsâ€™ Attitude

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In anticipating a high completion rate for web surveys, researchers must be attentive to the design features, two of which are the forced responses (i.e., 100%-, 50%, or 0%-forced) and the questionnaire item display (i.e., paging or scrolling). Moreover, the respondentsâ€™ favorable attitude towards questionnaires is a key factor driving them to complete the questionnaires. However, no studies have examined the effects of these three variables on web survey completion rates. This research thus attempts to fill this gap. Using a quasi-experiment, we obtained 401 responses to six (i.e., 3 levels of forced responses x 2 display styles) comparable online questionnaires with identical contents. The analysis confirmed the statistically significant effects of the forced responses, the item display and the subjectsâ€™ attitudes toward questionnaires on completion rates. In addition to extending theoretical insights into the factors leading to a web surveyâ€™s completion rates, practical recommendations are suggested based on the findings.

VITAMIN A AND FAT INTERACTION IN THE DIET OF BROILER CHICKS AND TURKEY POULTS. F. G. Abawi* and T. W. Sullivan. Dept. of Animal Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68583–0820Two experiments were conducted, one each with broiler chicks and turkey poults fed ground corn-soybean meal diets. Birds were given a very low vitamin A diet from 0 to 14 days before the experiments were initiated. The first experiment involved broiler chicks of a commercial strain and a completely randomized design. The 3x 3 factorial arrangement of dietary variables consisted of all combinations of 3 supplemental vitamin A levels: 2,000, 10,000 and 18,000 IU/kg, and 3 levels of added animal fat: 0, 3 and 6%. The calculated level of fat was 2.2% in the basal diet. Data were collected when birds were 4 and 6 weeks of age. Feed efficiency was significantly improved (P<.001) with increasing fat levels…
Manic Monday to Fabulous Friday

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

School nurses across the United States continue to see an increase in the number of children and families with behavioral and mental health issues that affect many aspects of overall health and education. When referral to a mental health professional is indicated, there are often few available community mental health providers, long waits for appointments, or both. This article describes how school nurses can leverage school district and community resources and increase their capacity to meet the behavioral and mental health needs of children in the school setting.
CO observations of major merger pairs at

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

\nWe present CO observations of 78 spiral galaxies in local merger pairs. These galaxies represent a subsample of a Ks-band-selected sample consisting of 88 close major-merger pairs (HKPAIRs), 44 spiral–spiral (S+S) pairs, and 44 spiral–elliptical (S+E) pairs, with separation <20 h−1 kpc and mass ratio <2.5. For all objects, the star formation rate (SFR) and dust mass were derived from Herschel PACS and SPIRE data, and the atomic gas mass, MHI, from the Green Bank Telescope HI observations. The complete data set allows us to study the relation between gas (atomic and molecular) mass, dust mass, and SFR in merger galaxies. We derive the molecular gas fraction (MH2/M*), molecular-to-atomic gas mass ratio (MH2/MHI), gas-to-dust mass ratio and SFE (= SFR/MH2) and study their dependences on pair type (S+S compared to S+E), stellar mass, and the presence of morphological interaction signs. We find an overall moderate enhancement (∼2×) in both molecular gas fraction (MH2/M*) and molecular-to-atomic gas ratio (MH2/MHI) for star-forming galaxies in major-merger pairs compared to non-interacting comparison samples, whereas no enhancement was found for the SFE nor for the total gas mass fraction ((MHI + MH2)/M*). When divided into S+S and S+E, low mass and high mass, and with and without interaction signs, there is a small difference in SFE, a moderate difference in MH2/M*, and a strong difference in MH2/MHI between subsamples. For the molecular-to-atomic gas ratio MH2/MHI, the difference between S+S and S+E subsamples is 0.55 ± 0.18 dex and between pairs with and without interaction sign 0.65 ± 0.16 dex. Together, our results suggest that (1) star formation enhancement in close major-merger pairs occurs mainly in S+S pairs after the first close encounter (indicated by interaction signs) because the HI gas is compressed into star-forming molecular gas by the tidal torque; and (2) this effect is much weakened in the S+E pairs.\n
Waveguide submillimetre laser with a uniform output beam

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A method for producing non-Gaussian light beams with a uniform intensity profile is described. The method is based on the use of a combined waveguide quasi-optical resonator containing a generalised confocal resonator with an inhomogeneous mirror with absorbing inhomogeneities discretely located on its surface and a hollow dielectric waveguide whose size satisfies the conditions of self-imaging of a uniform field in it. The existence of quasi-homogeneous beams at the output of an optically pumped 0.1188-mm waveguide CH3OH laser with a amplitude-stepped mirror is confirmed theoretically and experimentally.

Tomato Locule Cell Wall Polysaccharides: Changes during Maturation and Ripening

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Softening and liquefaction of `Solar Set' locules was studied by examining cell wall polysaccharides during fruit developmental stages (FDS) of immature green, mature green and breaker. Ethanol insoluble solids (EIS) were sequentially extracted by H 2 O, CDTA, and Na 2 CO 3 solutions. The chromatograms of gel filtration among the same-solution extracts of EISs from three FDS were similar. Gradient DEAE also yielded similar patterns among FDS in each extraction solvent, even though the patterns of Na 2 CO 3 extracts differed from those of H 2 O and CDTA extracts. The mole ratio of total polyuronides decreased for Gal, Ara, and Xyl at later FDS in both EIS and in all extracted polymers. Gal had the highest mole percentage of total neutral sugars, followed by Ara, Xyl, and Rha. While the mole percentage of neutral sugars for Gal, Rha, Ara, and Xyl were relatively similar among FDS in H 2 O extracts, those in CDTA and Na 2 CO 3 extracts either increased or decreased, depending on individual neutral sugar. SDS-PAGE showed increased density in locule-tissue proteins, especially one with a molecular weight of less than 20 kDa, during later FDS. Results indicate that pectin depolymerization was limited and major neutral sugars commonly composing side chains showed a net decrease.
Rhythms in the process of drawing up crusading proposals in the peninsula

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study presents some of the traits of the new Christian proposals for the legitimation of the war against the Muslims. These elements appeared somewhat earlier in the kingdom of Aragon than in León. This promptness is linked not only with a greater opening to European influences, but also to the need to attract foreign contingents for the conquest. Meanwhile, the Leonese kingdom had assembled a theory of legitimation, based on its claims to links to the Visigoth monarchy, so that it resorted to a greater extent to the crusading register when difficulties arose in the epoch of Alfonso VI, especially from 1086 on.
Expression of the RNA-binding protein TIAR is increased in neurons after ischemic cerebral injury

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

T-cell restricted intracellular antigen-related protein (TIAR) is an RNA recognition motif-type RNA-binding protein that has been implicated in the apoptotic death of T-lymphocytes and retinal pigment epithelial cells. Western blots prepared with a monoclonal antibody against TIAR showed expression in normal rat hippocampus, and induction by 15 min of global cerebral ischemia. This increased expression was evident at 8 hr after ischemia and maximal at 24 hr, whereas expression at 72 hr was reduced below basal levels. Expression of TIAR protein was also increased in parietal cortex 6 and 24 hr after 90 min of focal cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, as well as in cultured cortical neurons and astroglia after exposure to hypoxia in vitro. Immunocytochemistry showed that increased expression of TIAR occurred mainly in the CA1 sector of hippocampus 24 hr after global ischemia, and in cortical and striatal neurons 24 hr after 20 or 90 min of focal ischemia. Double-labeling studies showed that TIAR protein expression was co-localized with DNA damage in neuronal cells. The findings suggest that TIAR may be involved in neuronal cell death after cerebral ischemic injury. J. Neurosci. Res. 59:767–774, 2000 © 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Carbide\nClusterfullerene Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@C<sub>92</sub> vs Dimetallofullerene\nGd<sub>2</sub>@C<sub>94</sub>: A Quantum Chemical Survey

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The geometric, electronic structure,\nand thermodynamic stability\nof Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>94</sub> species, including dimetallofullerenes\nGd<sub>2</sub>@­C<sub>94</sub> and carbide clusterfullerenes\nGd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­C<sub>92</sub>, have been systematically\ninvestigated by a density functional theory approach combined with\nstatistical mechanics calculations. Although the Gd<sub>2</sub>@<i>C</i><sub><i>2</i></sub>(153480)-C<sub>94</sub> is\ndetermined to possess the lowest energy, its molar fraction at the\ntemperature region of fullerene formation is extremely low if the\ntemperature effect is taken into consideration. Meanwhile, three C<sub>92</sub>-based carbide clusterfullerene species, Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­<i>D</i><sub><i>3</i></sub>(126408)-C<sub>92</sub>, Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­<i>C</i><sub><i>1</i></sub>(126390)-C<sub>92</sub>, and Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­<i>C</i><sub><i>2</i></sub>(126387)-C<sub>92</sub>, with some higher energy are exposed to possess\nconsiderable thermodynamic stabilities within a related temperature\ninterval, suggesting that carbide clusterfullerenes rather than dimetallofullerenes\ncould be isolated experimentally. Although one isomer, Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­<i>D</i><sub><i>3</i></sub>(126408)-C<sub>92</sub>, has been indeed obtained experimentally,\na novel structure, Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­<i>C</i><sub><i>1</i></sub>(126390)-C<sub>92</sub>, behaving as\nthe most abundant isomer at more elevated temperatures with the largest\nSOMO–LUMO gap, is predicted for the first time to be another\nproper isomer isolated in the experiment. Moreover, in order to further\nanalyze the interaction between gadolinium atoms and carbon atoms\nin either a carbide cluster or a fullerene cage, frontier molecular\norbital, natural bond orbital, and Mayer bond order analyses have\nbeen employed, and the results show that the covalent interaction\ncannot be neglected. The IR spectra of Gd<sub>2</sub>C<sub>2</sub>@­C<sub>92</sub> have been simulated to provide some valuable\nguidance for future experiments.
Progressivism In The Elementary School Curriculum: A Systematic Literature Review

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Progressivism is one of the schools of modern educational philosophy which is based on changes in the implementation of education for the better. Progressivism requires the basics of education that are meaningful for every student. The of progressivism refers to the implementation of education that is carried out by involving an active and centered role for students. The of progressivism that sided with students became one of the philosophical foundations in the development of the education curriculum in Indonesia, including education at the elementary school level. Curriculum changes took place in 2013 following the direction and policies of the government. This curriculum was introduced with the term "curriculum 2013 or K-13". The 2013 curriculum and progressivism conform to concepts and goals for the progress of education in Indonesia. The 2013 curriculum and the of progressivism serve as guidelines in implementing education that is oriented towards the potential and experience of students, especially students in elementary schools. Elementary school education is the main education in shaping the personality development of students to become quality students and born as a generation who will answer every challenge of the new civilization era to have a prosperous life in realizing the goals of Indonesia's national education
The relations between radio and forbidden [O III]-emission line luminosities in FRII radiogalaxies

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present spectrophotometry of 17 FRII radiogalaxies and use the resulting [O III]4959 + 5007 line fluxes to investigate the relations between radio and [O III] emission-line luminosities in an unbiased sample of 39 FRIIs with z < 0.5. For such objects this work provides the first proof of an empirical link between 178-MHz total luminosity P178 and [O III]4959/5007 line luminosity P[O III]; it also confirms a previously reported link of P178 with the 5-GHz luminosity Prad central of the radio central component. We argue that an apparent correlation between P[O III] and Prad central can be explained by separate P178–P[O III] and P178–Prad central links and need not be intrinsic. The relative strengths of these correlations provide evidence, independent of arguments based on the intensity ratios of the narrow lines, that the narrow-line region is photo-ionized from a central source which is physically distinct from the radio-jets.
Konsistensi Light Weight Deflectometer Pusat Penelitian Jalan dan Jembatan (Pusjatan) Pada Jalan Tanah

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Strong road infrastructure plays an important role in supporting community mobility, economic growth and regional development. Dirt road pavement is the type of pavement most often used in rural areas or areas with light to moderate traffic. Its advantages include lower costs compared to asphalt pavement as well as ease of construction. However, the main challenge of soil pavements lies in ensuring adequate consistency and stability, as the success of the pavement depends on proper compaction. Compaction of the subgrade road layer is a critical aspect that, if failed, can cause deformation and premature damage to the pavement. One of the tools used to test pavement stability and deflection is the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD), which provides important data regarding the quality of the subgrade before the pavement is applied.
K-Theoretic Donaldson-Thomas Theory of $[\mathbb{C}^2/μ_r]\times\mathbb{C}$ and Factorization

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We compute the equivariant K-theoretic Donaldson--Thomas invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^2/μ_r]\times \mathbb{C}$ using factorization and rigidity techniques. For this, we develop a generalization of Okounkov's factorization technique that applies to Hilbert schemes of points on orbifolds. We show that the (twisted) virtual structure sheaves of Hilbert schemes of points on orbifolds satisfy the desired factorization property. We prove that the generating series of Euler characteristics of such factorizable systems are the plethystic exponential of a simpler generating series. For $[\mathbb{C}^2/μ_r]\times \mathbb{C}$, the computation is then completed by a rigidity argument, involving an equivariant modification of Young's combinatorial computation of the corresponding numerical Donaldson-Thomas invariants.
Functional significance of the dark central floret of Daucus carota (Apiaceae) L.; is it an insect mimic?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract In Daucus carota L. (Apiaceae) the florets comprising the central umbellet of inflorescences are usually pink or dark purple, presenting a marked contrast to the surrounding umbellets, which are generally white. The number of dark florets varies, and some inflorescences have no dark florets. It has been proposed that the dark florets function as an insect mimic, and in so doing serve to attract insects to the flower. In contrast, other authors, Darwin included, suggest that they are functionally redundant. The present study examined whether the dark florets attract insects, and also whether this effect can be replicated by replacing these florets with an insect. At the study site in Portugal the predominant insect visitor was the beetle Anthrenus verbasci L. (Dermestidae), which is similar in size and shape to the dark florets. Large inflorescences and those with more dark florets attracted more beetles than small inflorescences and those with fewer or no dark florets. Inflorescences with the dark florets removed attracted fewer beetles visitors compared with intact inflorescences. Inflorescences in which the dark florets were replaced with one or a cluster of five dead, freeze‐killed A. verbasci attracted more beetles than inflorescences from which the dark florets had been removed. Replacement of the dark florets with a relatively large Meloid beetle resulted in the attraction of markedly fewer A. verbasci . We conclude that the dark florets can act as an insect attractant for some insect groups by acting as an insect mimic, and that they are adaptive, in contrast to the speculations of Darwin.
COVID-19-Induced Anosmia and Ageusia Are Associated With Younger Age and Lower Blood Eosinophil Counts

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Anosmia and ageusia are symptoms commonly associated with COVID-19, but the relationship with disease severity, onset and recovery are unclear. Objective To examine factors associated with anosmia and ageusia and the recovery from these symptoms in an ethnically diverse cohort. Methods Individuals tested for SARS-CoV-2 between March and April 2020 were eligible for the study. Randomly selected participants answered a telephone questionnaire on COVID-19 symptoms with a focus on anosmia and ageusia. Additionally, relevant past medical history and data on the COVID-19 clinical course were obtained from electronic medical records. 486 patients were in the COVID-19 group and 103 were COVID-19-negative. Results Patients who were younger were more likely to report anosmia and/or ageusia (odds ratio (OR) for anosmia per 1-year increase in age: 0·98, 95%CI:0–97-0·99, p = 0·003; for ageusia: 0·98, 95%CI:0·97-0·99, p = 0·005) as were patients with lower eosinophil counts (OR for anosmia per 0.1-K/μL increase in eosinophils: 0·02, 95%CI:0·001-0·46, p = 0·01, for ageusia 0·10, 95%CI:0·01-0·97, p = 0·047). Male gender was independently associated with a lower probability of ageusia (OR:0·56, 95%CI:0·38-0·82, p = 0·003) and earlier sense of taste recovery (HR:1·44, 95%CI:1·05-1·98, p = 0·02). Latinos showed earlier sense of taste recovery than white patients (HR:1·82, 95%CI:1·05-3·18, p = 0·03). Conclusion Anosmia and ageusia were more common among younger patients and those with lower blood eosinophil counts. Ageusia was less commonly reported among men, and time to taste recovery was earlier among both men and Latinos.
