3,3'‐Dichlorobenzidine: Evaluation of risks to health from environmental exposure in Canada

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract 3,3'‐Dichlorobenzidine is included on the List of Priority Substances to be assessed under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Based on the sufficient weight of evidence of carcinogenicity in several species of experimental animals, and supporting data on genotoxicity, 3,3'‐dichlorobenzidine has been classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans”. Based on a comparison of the average daily intake of 3,3'‐dichlorobenzidine by the general population in Canada estimated on the basis of fugacity modelling of environmental concentrations, with the potential of this substance to induce tumours, the priority for analysis of options to reduce exposure in the general environment is considered to be very low, compared to that of other substances assessed under the Priority Substances Program.
First record of the pistachio psyllid Agonoscena cisti (Puton, 1882) (Hemiptera, Psylloidea) in the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Agonoscena cisti (Puton, 1882) (Psylloidea, Aphalaridae) is reported for the &#64257;rst time from the Maltese Islands. The species is oligophagous on pistachio plants ( Pistacia L.) and is restricted to the Mediterranean area. Until now, only Agonoscena targionii (Lichtenstein, 1874) had been known from the Maltese archipelago, although the presence of A. cisti was predicted.
Bilateral femoral neck stress fractures in military recruits with unilateral hip pain

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Femoral neck stress fractures are rare and can be easily missed and failure to diagnose these injuries early can lead to avascular necrosis, malunion and osteoarthritis. It is important to have a high index of suspicion for femoral neck stress fractures in military recruits. We present three cases of bilateral femoral neck fractures in military recruits, all presenting with unilateral hip symptoms and signs. All the asymptomatic contralateral hips had femoral neck stress fractures diagnosed by screening MRI. Tension type and displaced femoral neck fractures were treated surgically. All the fractures managed healing without complications. Military recruits with unilateral groin pain should have an early referral for MRI hip to rule out femoral neck stress fractures and those military personnel with ipsilateral femoral neck fracture should have MRI of the contralateral hip. Two of the patients had vitamin D deficiency, of which one had elevated parathyroid hormones and low bone mineral density. Our case series highlights the significance of vitamin D deficiency among military recruits.
618 Clinical and Humanistic Burdens of Pediatric Burns: A Systematic Literature Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Children face long-term clinical and psychological sequelae from burn injuries. This review summarizes the scientific literature on the clinical and humanistic burdens of pediatric burns. Methods A systematic review of literature published between Jan 2015 and Jun 2020 was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines in Embase, Biosis, and MEDLINE to identify publications examining the clinical, humanistic, economic, and/or epidemiologic burdens of illness associated with pediatric burns in the US. Results Of 2,286 unique articles identified, 28 met eligibility criteria. This analysis focused on studies relating to the clinical (n=8) and humanistic (n=9) burdens of pediatric burns. Across all studies, flame and scald were the most common burn etiologies. Among the 8 clinical studies, several evaluated outcomes (n=2) or treatments (n=3) in predominantly graft recipients. One study found that 64% of pediatric split-thickness autograft recipients exhibited hypertrophic scarring (HTS) at the donor site. Other variables (time to re-epithelialization, donor-site harvest depth, harvest in an acute burn care setting, thigh donor-site location) were associated with increased risk of HTS. An increase in percentage total body surface area (%TBSA) burned corresponded to increased number of autograft procedures, risk for HTS, and viral infection risk. Other reported outcomes included infections (eg, healthcare-associated, wound, viral), pain, inhalation injury, and sepsis. One study found that while the frequency and intensity of pruritis decreased over time, 63% of children continued to report symptoms at 2 years after injury. Among the 9 humanistic studies, 4 reported larger %TBSA corresponded to worse health-related quality of life assessed by various instruments. In a study of patients under age 5 with burns, Burns Outcomes Questionnaire (0–4) scores improved over time in multiple domains. In youth with a history of burn injuries, patient-reported pain interference with daily living was significantly associated with decreased physical functioning, depression, and impaired peer relationships. Two studies assessed caregiver burden, with one study finding that 19% of caregivers self-reported clinical or at-risk levels of distress following the child’s burn injury. Conclusions Pediatric burns place a substantial clinical and humanistic burden on patients and their caregivers. While outcomes appeared to improve over time, clinical and humanistic consequences of pediatric burns endured. More research on novel treatment products and procedures is needed to reduce the burden of burns for this population.
Growth and Economics of Pesticide Use in India: Overview - Analysis of the Environment, Patterns and Market Potential

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The pesticide industry is the most dynamic agricultural input industry in India, being substantially in private hands. Yet the pesticide use levels in India are among the lowest in the world. This paper presents an overview-analysis of the pesticide scenario in India. It develops a framework of the market environment within which the growth of pesticide use takes place in developing countries. It then uses this framework to study the growth and patterns of pesticide use in India. It finds that pesticide use in India is highly concentrated by crop and geographic area, and is therefore showing declining growth rates. A major reason appears to be very limited market development efforts by the firms leading to poor conversion of a large potential into effective demand. Output markets/prices, input prices, high yielding varieties and wage rates play important roles in determining use. However, many non-price factors are also very important. Pesticides are also seen as an insurance by the farmers and therefore higher than optimum use is frequently reported. The new economic environment in India will offer ample opportunities for growth. However, the industry will need to look at the market environment more comprehensively and will need to play a proactive role in market development.

Pilot Study of a Health Intervention for Women with PTSD

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The need for developing effective cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programs for women impacted by psychological trauma is increasingly evident. Women who are significantly affected by psychological trauma are at higher risk for CVD, possibly due to health risk behaviors that are associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although the prevalence of PTSD is twice as high among women, and women are more likely to develop chronic PTSD after a trauma exposure, the majority of studies addressing cardiovascular risk associated with PTSD have been conducted with male veterans. Therefore additional research is needed for civilians suffering from PTSD, particularly for women, to examine programs that may reduce health risk behaviors and prevent early onset of CVD. The primary goal of the present study is to examine whether a treatment program focused on healthy lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, good nutrition, sleep hygiene) and stress management will be associated with reductions in the levels of CVD risk variables (e.g., body weight, lipids, blood pressure) among women with chronic PTSD and least one of the targeted health risks. Outcomes in the intervention program will be contrasted with those of a no-treatment control group. Quality of life is significantly disrupted in PTSD. Quality of life, particularly health-related quality of life, may be associated with health behaviors that are not addressed with standard psychotherapies for PTSD. Therefore, a secondary objective of the present study is to examine whether the intervention is associated with increases in the general quality of life and health related quality of life for women with PTSD. Results of the proposed project will assist in evaluating whether targeting health behaviors as a novel component of PTSD treatment aids in reducing CVD risk and enhancing quality of life.
Is Love Extendable to Relationship Marketing and Supply Chain Management?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In a turbulent environment, firms with certain capabilities are likely to have effective relationships/collaborations with partners, access inimitable resources and achieve competitive advantage. Based on Dynamic capability theory, capabilities permit firms to create a sustainable competitive advantage, but further knowledge is needed on how these capabilities interact with each other and influence firm performance. We develop the construct called institutional (organizational) love in supply chain (ILSC) which mediates the function of dynamic capabilities on firm performance. The proposed conceptual model examines the relationship between marketing alliance capabilities (MAC) and intra-firm network capabilities, ILSC, customer orientation, and the focal firm's performance.
Evolutionary Studies of Atriplex: Phylogenetic Relationships of Atriplex pleiantha

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Atriplex pleiantha Weber differs from all other species of Atriplex in having 1) multiple female flowers subtended by two bracts, 2) female flowers with a perianth, and 3) embryos with radicles pointing downwards. Because of these significant differences it is proposed that Atriplex pleiantha be elevated to the level of a separate genus and be designated Proatriplex pleiantha (Weber) Stutz & Chu. The closest relatives of Proatriplex appear to be Archiatriplex, Endolepis, Exomis, and Microgynoecium. These are all diploid, monoecious annuals, have non-Kranz type leaf anatomy, and female flowers with a perianth.
LEARNING DOMAIN-SPECIFIC HEURISTICS FOR ANSWER SET SOLVERS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT. In spite of the recent improvements in the performance of Answer Set Programming (ASP) solvers, when the search space is sufficiently large, it is still possible for the search algorithm to mistakenly focus on areas of the search space that contain no solutions or very few. When that happens, performance degrades substantially, even to the point that the solver may need to be terminated before returning an answer. This prospect is a concern when one is considering using such a solver in an industrial setting, where users typically expect consistent performance. To overcome thisproblem,inthispaperweproposeatechniquethatallowslearningdomain-specificheuristicsfor ASP solvers. The learning is done off-line, on representative instances from the target domain, and thelearnedheuristicsarethenusedforchoice-pointselection. Inourexperiments,theintroductionof domain-specific heuristics improved performance on hard instances by up to 3 orders of magnitude (and 2 on average), nearly completely eliminating the cases in which the solver had to be terminated because the waitfor an answer had become unacceptable. 1.

How Does the Scalar Restructuring of Community Public Space Shape Community Co-Production? Evidence from the Community Centers in Shanghai

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In urban regeneration, co-production has become a significant approach for shaping public space in urban communities. While existing studies focus on the processes and stakeholders involved in co-production of community public space (CPS), few have examined the influence of structural factors. Based on the politics of scale, this study uses thematic analysis within an embedded case study of community centers in Shanghai, China, to analyze the impact of scalar restructuring on community co-production across three dimensions: material scale, organizational scale, and discursive scale. The study finds that local governments actively reshape public space through scalar restructuring, thereby transforming power relations among participants and promoting community co-production. In response to different community conditions and dilemmas, local governments adopt context-specific scalar restructuring strategies. When implementing scalar restructuring strategies such as downscaling, upscaling and scalar recompositing, three corresponding patterns of community co-production often emerge: bonded, procedural, and bridged. This paper contributes by providing a new perspective on the mechanism of community co-production, identifying novel patterns of community co-production and refining the scalar restructuring strategies. It moves beyond spatial limitations and captures the co-production of CPS through a broader lens of power dynamics.

Interpolation filters for 2-D hexagonally sampled signals

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper deals with the design of interpolation filters for 2-D hexagonally sampled signals using multidimensional antimetric wave digital filters. Theoretically there are two essential schemes for the interpolation of hexagonally sampled signals, i.e. interpolations by factor 3 and by factor 4. We show that by exploiting some symmetry properties of the amplitude response, multidimensional antimetric filters are suitable for the design of interpolation filters in both cases. In particular, very efficient design can be obtained for the case of interpolation by factor 4, for which very low hardware cost is required for achieving satisfactory amplitude responses. The paper also compares the behaviours of the designed interpolation filters with those of circularly symmetric filters realized by cascading some antimetric filters. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Non-Markovian decoherence theory for a double-dot charge qubit

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we develop a non-perturbation theory for describing\ndecoherence dynamics of electron charges in a double quantum dot gated by\nelectrodes. We extend the Feynman-Vernon influence functional theory to\nfermionic environments and derive an exact master equation for the reduced\ndensity matrix of electrons in the double dot for a general spectral density at\narbitrary temperature and bias. We then investigate the decoherence dynamics of\nthe double dot charge qubit with back-action of the reservoirs being fully\ntaken into account. Time-dependent fluctuations and leakage effects induced\nfrom the dot-reservoir coupling are explicitly explored. The charge qubit\ndynamics from the Markovian to non-Markovian regime is systematically studied\nunder various manipulating conditions. The decay behavior of charge qubit\ncoherence and the corresponding relaxation time $T_1$ and dephasing time $T_2$\nare analyzed in details.\n

Testing Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Hierarchy of Training Evaluation: Evidence from Thailand's Automotive Industry

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Several studies of training evaluation have failed to confirm the hierarchy relationship of reaction, learning, and behavior to results because of the difficulty of evaluating training. Furthermore, research in this area has tended to downplay the importance of level one (reaction) evaluation. In this study, we proposed investigating Kirkpatrick’s four-level hierarchy of training evaluation, focusing specifically on two types of reactions, affective and utility, to predict training outcomes. The results of this study expand our understanding of the progressive causal relationship of reaction, learning, and job behavior to results. In particular, this study highlighted the utility reactions in predicting training effectiveness. Implications and future research directions suggested by the results are also discussed.

Climate, Management, and N Effect on Corn Leaf N, Yield, and Grain N1

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Two field corn ( Zea mays L.) N response experiments, with previous cropping of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) and wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), were conducted for 4 years (1977 to 1980) on Mexico silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Udollic Ochraqualf). The study was conducted to relate the climatic factors of air temperature in June, July, and August, expressed as heat units, and precipitation during the same months to corn yield response to fertilizer N. A previous evaluation utilized grain N (a quantitative measurement) as measure of plant N sufficiency to develop a model integrating these climatic factors to predict total Nand fertilizer N requirements. The objective of this study is to integrate the variables of fertilizer N application by leaf N (a relative plant nutrient measurement) concentration with climatic parameters to predict N requirements for maximum yield. Regression analyses related relative yield to monthly precipitation, heat units, and their products of leaf N or applied N and the square of leaf N or applied N. The primary N source affecting leaf concentrations was from fertilizer N when corn followed wheat and from the previous crop residue when corn followed alfalfa. The critical leaf N concentration of 2.09 mol kg −1 was selected when relative yield of 97% was achieved, because additional increases in leaf N had little effect on yield. Precipitation and heat units accounted for 32 and 62% of the ear leaf N concentration when corn followed wheat and alfalfa, respectively. Including linear and quadratic terms of fertilizer N explained 98 and 92% variability, respectively, in the leaf N, and the fertilizer N requirements for yield maximization were calculated to be 152 and 66 kg ha −1 where corn followed wheat and alfalfa, respectively. This corresponded to 137 and 48 kg N ha −1 fertilizer requirements when 1.09 mol kg −1 grain N was used as the criterion for maximum yield. The summation of precipitation and heat units into the monthly periods of June, July, and August were significantly related to leaf N and grain N. Results indicate that leaf N concentration as well as grain N, can be used as a tool to quantify the N sufficiency and N fertilizer requirements for maximum corn yield.
