Estimates of walleye abundance for Oneida Lake, NY (1957-2008)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Cornell Biological Field Station (CBFS) serves as a primary field site for aquatic research at Cornell University (more information can be found at http://www.cbfs.dnr.cornell.edu) and is part of the Department of Natural Resources, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. The centerpiece of the station's research program is a 50-year database on the food web of Oneida Lake, New York, that has been collected with support from the Cornell University Brown Endowment and from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The data are collected by personnel from the Cornell Biological Field Station and include limnology, benthos, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and fish survey data, primarily from Oneida Lake and spanning 1957 to the present. This dataset reports the CBFS estimates of walleye abundance at different stage and age groups in Oneida Lake. These estimates are based on data from standard trawl (1961-2008; http://hdl.handle.net/1813/11217) and gill net catches (1959-2008; http://hdl.handle.net/1813/11216), mark-recapture estimates for age 4 and older walleye, an analysis combining these data sets (Irwin et al. 2008), Miller sampler surveys for larval walleye, and information from the Constantia Fish Cultural Station on number of newly hatched larval walleye stocked each year. There are two primary data tables: one with the estimated abundance in # fish/ha for age 1 and older walleye in April of each year, and one with estimated abundance, length, and sampling dates for age-0 walleye (larvae, juveniles, age-1 in the following spring). An additional table, catchability, contains numbers used to estimate walleye abundance as described in the methods section.
A Toolkit: Fostering a Participatory Study of Sustainable Pavement Development

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Walking is a popular transport means for seniors doing daily errands, and pedestrian pavements play a key role in influencing the quality of older people’s walking. Walking experience of older pedestrians and their perspectives to the outdoor environment are crucial in planning and designing pavements. However, their walking experience and perspective on the pavement are less involved in the process of urban development. A participatory toolkit is created providing a chance for older people to share their walking experience and to indicate their opinions of the pavement in a group study conducted by researchers who develop the pedestrian environment. The tool allows users to identify hazardous factors of the pavement, seek the impact of pavement hazards, and improve the pavement using recommendations. Based on the outputs of the toolkit, the researchers can have a better understanding of the relationship between pavements and elderly people and create an age-friendly pedestrian environment.
Comparative Survival of Asian and White Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Men Treated With Docetaxel

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract There are few data regarding disparities in overall survival (OS) between Asian and white men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). We compared OS of Asian and white mCRPC men treated in phase III clinical trials with docetaxel and prednisone (DP) or a DP-containing regimen. Individual participant data from 8820 men with mCRPC randomly assigned on nine phase III trials to receive DP or a DP-containing regimen were combined. Men enrolled in these trials had a diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma. The median overall survival was 18.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 17.4 to 22.1 months) and 21.2 months (95% CI = 20.8 to 21.7 months) for Asian and white men, respectively. The pooled hazard ratio for death for Asian men compared with white men, adjusted for baseline prognostic factors, was 0.95 (95% CI = 0.84 to 1.09), indicating that Asian men were not at increased risk of death. This large analysis showed that Asian men did not have shorter OS duration than white men treated with docetaxel.
Devolution

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The United Kingdom has four component parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England had achieved unity by the time of the Saxon kings. In 1536, under the' Welsh Tudor dynasty, Wales, having been annexed by conquest about 1300, was united with England by the Act of Union. In 1603 England and Wales and Scotland were united when the Scottish King James VI came to the throne as James I of England. Scotland retained her Parliament; genuine political union did not come until the Act of Union in 1707. The Scottish Parliament was then dissolved by agreement and Scotland sent 45 members and 16 representative peers to a newly styled Parliament of Great Britain at Westminster. Ireland had been joned to England by conquest and from 1801, following the dissolution of its own Parliament, was represented at Westminster by 28 peers and 100 MPs. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was thus created, becoming in 1921, on the establishment of the Irish Free State, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, when the number of MPs representing the North was reduced to 12. At the same time a Parliament with substantial powers over internal affairs, but ultimately subordinate to Westminster, was set up at Stormont in Northern Ireland.
Joint channel assignment and routing in rate-variable wireless mesh network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

For multi-radio multi-channel (MRMC) wireless mesh networks (WMNs), the joint channel assignment and routing problem has been shown to be NP-complete. In this paper, we propose a joint linear programming (LP) and genetic algorithm (LPGA), in which we use an improved genetic algorithm to tackle the CA problem and solve the routing by a mixed integer linear programming model. To successfully decouple the two problems, we evaluate the fitness value of a chromosome (certain CA configuration) in our genetic algorithms (GAs) by computing the linear objective function. Meanwhile, we propose a rate-variable model to increase the network through output, which use the physical interference model that can evaluate the capacity more precisely. Simulation results show that the proposed approach effectively increases the network through output.
The prevalence of genotypes that determine resistance to macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins B compared with spiramycin susceptibility among erythromycin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Coagulase-negative staphylococci, particularly Staphylococcus epidermidis, can be regarded as potential reservoirs of resistance genes for pathogenic strains, e.g., Staphylococcus aureus. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of different resistance phenotypes to macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramins B (MLSB) antibiotics among erythromycin-resistant S. epidermidis, together with the evaluation of genes promoting the following different types of MLSB resistance:ermA, ermB, ermC,msrA, mphC, and linA/A'. Susceptibility to spiramycin was also examined. Among 75 erythromycin-resistantS. epidermidis isolates, the most frequent phenotypes were macrolides and streptogramins B (MSB) and constitutive MLSB (cMLSB). Moreover, all strains with the cMLSB phenotype and the majority of inducible MLSB (iMLSB) isolates were resistant to spiramycin, whereas strains with the MSB phenotype were sensitive to this antibiotic. The D-shape zone of inhibition around the clindamycin disc near the spiramycin disc was found for some spiramycin-resistant strains with the iMLSB phenotype, suggesting an induction of resistance to clindamycin by this 16-membered macrolide. The most frequently isolated gene was ermC, irrespective of the MLSB resistance phenotype, whereas the most often noted gene combination wasermC, mphC, linA/A'. The results obtained showed that the genes responsible for different mechanisms of MLSB resistance in S. epidermidis generally coexist, often without the phenotypic expression of each of them.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING OF SEED COTTON: MINIMUM VELOCITY AND PRESSURE DROP

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Electricity is a major cost for cotton gins, representing approximately 20% of variable costs. Fans used for pneumatic conveying consume the majority of electricity at cotton gins. Development of control systems to reduce the air velocity used for conveying seed cotton could significantly decrease electricity use and cost. A greater understanding of the pneumatic conveying characteristics of seed cotton is necessary for development of these systems. A negative pressure conveying system was constructed with a feed control, conveying pipe, separator, and fan. Air velocity was measured at the system inlet and in the conveying section when testing with air only. A differential pressure measurement was taken in the conveying pipe, and temperature and relative humidity were recorded. Two pipe diameters, two cultivars, two moisture content levels, and three seed cotton feed rates were included in the experimental design. Seed cotton was fed into the conveying system, and the fan speed was decreased until choking occurred. The minimum differential pressure measurement indicated the saltation velocity. A segmented linear model was fit to the log transformed data to identify the mass flow ratio and Froude number (Fr) corresponding to the minimum pressure. This model accurately fit the data (R2 = 0.88) and resulted in the following equation for finding the saltation velocity: ? = 8.90 × 10-5 × Frmin5.04, where Frmin is the Fr at the saltation velocity. The solids resistance factor at velocities greater than saltation was found to be 0.179 × Fr-1. This model had an R2 of 0.91 and predicted the pressure drop with 14.2% error. Pipe diameter, cultivar, and moisture content level did not have a practically significant effect on the models developed to predict saltation velocity or the solids resistance factor. These models may be useful in designing control systems for cotton gin conveying systems, resulting in significant electricity and cost savings.
[Iatrogenic Cushing syndrome due to the misuse of topical corticosteroids. Pediatric case report].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Corticosteroids are used in the treatment of many dermatological diseases due to their anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative effects. Its indiscriminate use can cause serious local and systemic adverse effects, mainly in children and in the presence of certain predisposing factors. While topical corticosteroids are safe and effective, it is important to pay attention to factors such as patient´s age, skin barrier, clinical characteristic and localization of the lesion, potency and vehicle of the corticosteroid before its prescription to reduce the possibility of adverse effects. We present the case of a 5-month-old patient who presented an ulcerated hemangioma in the left buttock. Due to the local application of a topical corticosteroid on the hemangioma for more than 3 months, she developed Cushing's syndrome.
Noise From Turbojet Compressors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Summary The noise radiated from the intakes of turbojet engines during landing is already causing a serious nuisance. This paper, which is largely based on the deliberations of an ad hoc working panel of academic experts formed by Rolls-Royce in 1961, describes the characteristics of the noise and discusses possible mechanisms of generation. The noise appears to be dipole in origin, and to come mainly from the first two compressor stages. It consists of a few discrete tone components, generated mainly by the interactions which occur when one row of aerofoils passes through the wakes of a preceding row; and broad band noise resulting from the turbulence in the wakes and the inherent instability of the boundary layer on the aerofoils. Some discrete tones may be eliminated over part of the running range by suitable choice of blade numbers and disposition. The broad band noise is unlikely to be reduced without major design modifications involving either a reduction of the air speed relative to the front stage blades, or removal of the boundary layer at their trailing edges.
The Role of Islamic Religious Coping and Social Support in Parenting Stress among Working Mothers with Young Children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Working mothers with multiple roles often struggle to manage internal pressures, leading to stress, including parental stress associated with the demands of raising children. Islamic religious coping and social support are factors that can influence the level of parenting stress. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Islamic religious coping, social support, and parenting stress in working mothers with young children. A quantitative approach was used in this research, targeting a population of working mothers with early childhood-aged children across Indonesia. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, with criteria: mothers who work or earn independently, have young children, and reside in Indonesia. A total of 206 respondents were included in the research sample. Validity testing was conducted using corrected item-total correlation, while reliability testing was performed with Cronbach's Alpha. The instruments used were the Parenting Stress Scale (r=0.828), the Islamic Religious Coping Scale (r=0.658), and the Social Support Scale (r=0.850). The writer analyzed the data by using multiple linear regression analysis with a stepwise regression method and a partial correlation analysis. The assumption tests included assessments of normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. Hypothesis testing was carried out, and the effective contribution of each predictor variable was analyzed. This research is expected to contribute to parenting practices with young children.

(type locality: East Falkland, Mt. Usborne). A key to the species of the genus is presented. A cladistic analysis of the species of Antarctobius, based on 25 characters from the external morphology, genitalia, and body vestiture, is undertaken. The resulting cladogram shows the following sequence: ((A. lacunosus (A. hyadesii, A. vulsus) (A. malvinensis (A. yefacel, A. bidentatus (A. rugirostris (A. abditus (A. germaini, A. falklandicus))))))).
Family Caregiving of Older People with Dementing Illnesses in Nursing Homes: a Lifeline of Special Care

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: Explore the meaning of the care given by family caregivers to family members with a dementing illness after their placement in a nursing home. Method: A constructivist approach, informed by symbolic interactionism, and using grounded theory methods, served as the theoretical and analytical underpinnings of this study. In all, 14 family caregivers (predominantly daughters caring for mothers) were interviewed. Results: There is a dual meaning inherent in family caregiving activities in this context. It is perceived as a lifeline of special care for the family member in the nursing home, and is meaningful and constructive for the caregivers themselves. Conclusion: Understanding this ‘;dual’ meaning of family caregiving activities is highly relevant for health care workers and others who interact with family members in the nursing home situation.
Covid-19 and recalibration of FDI regimes: convergence or divergence?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of business and society including foreign direct investment (FDI) activities. According to an UNCTAD estimate, global FDI flows may fall by 40% in 2020–21. The fall will be more severe in developing countries. Looming large are fears of disruption to supply chains, deceleration of international trade, and concerns over likely takeovers by large multinational corporations (MNCs) and state-owned enterprises to take advantage of the weakened economic situation of companies in many countries. Consequently, the governments of many countries have revised guidelines for FDI screening (e.g. Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, and Spain) so as to protect companies and critical assets that are of strategic importance such as security, medical products, and protective equipment. This article examines the nature and extent of these changes to determine whether there is convergence or divergence in their responses. The findings provide some support to the convergence hypothesis.

Studies on the enzyme activity of functional strains screened from Tai Kong Jiu Qu

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The functional strains of Tai Kong Jiu Qu: SKR3(Rhizopus oryzae),SKA2(Aspergillus niger) and SKO3(Aspergillus oryzae) were separated and screened. The functional strains of Jiu Qu applied in production: SNR1(Rhizopus oryzae),SNA4(Aspergillus niger) and SNO2(Aspergillus oryzae) were separated. Enzyme activity were compared between SKR3 and SNR1,SKA2 and SNA4,SKO3 and SNO2. The results indicated that glucomylase's activity and (-mylase's activity of SKR3 were two times than that of SNR1. glucomylase's activity and (-mylase's activity of SKA2 were three times than that of SNA4. Protease's activity of SKA2 was one to two times than that of SNA4. There was not much difference between SKO3's and SNO1's enzyme activity.

The preliminary diagnostic results show that the proposed methodology has salient validity and effectiveness
Search for anomalous production of events with three or more leptons in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three leptons is presented. The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions with center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, was collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC during 2012. The data are divided into exclusive categories based on the number of leptons and their flavor, the presence or absence of an opposite-sign, same-flavor lepton pair (OSSF), the invariant mass of the OSSF pair, the presence or absence of a tagged bottom-quark jet, the number of identified hadronically decaying tau leptons, and the magnitude of the missing transverse energy and of the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta. The numbers of observed events are found to be consistent with the expected numbers from standard model processes, and limits are placed on new-physics scenarios that yield multilepton final states. In particular, scenarios that predict Higgs boson production in the context of supersymmetric decay chains are examined. We also place a 95% confidence level upper limit of 1.3% on the branching fraction for the decay of a top quark to a charm quark and a Higgs boson (t to c H), which translates to a bound on the left- and right-handed top-charm flavor-violating Higgs Yukawa couplings, lambda[H, tc] and lambda[H, ct], respectively, of sqrt(abs(lambda[H, tc])^2 + abs(lambda[H, ct])^2) < 0.21.
High Efficiency of Asymmetric Half-Bridge Converter with Simple SR Switch Control under Light Load Condition

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An asymmetric half-bridge (AHB) converter is commonly utilized in low-power systems. However, due to its asymmetric operation, the AHB converter suffers from degraded efficiency. To improve this drawback, several approaches have proposed a new secondary rectifier structure. Among various rectifier structures, the series capacitor rectifier (SCR) structure has a strong advantage such as the zero dc-offset current and balanced average current of diodes. However, it suffers from weakened energy for zero-voltage switching (ZVS) under light load conditions. In this paper, simple synchronous rectifier (SR) switch control is proposed. The strong point of the proposed converter is that it can simply integrate two different rectifier structures by replacing two diodes with two SR switches. Consequently, the proposed converter can achieve higher efficiency than previous AHB converters. The feasibility of the proposed converter is verified with a 48 V/400 W prototype converter.
The Effects of Aqueous Extract and Volatile Substances of Two Angelica Plants on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of aqueous extract and volatile substances of 2 Angelica plants on seed germination and seedling growth were investigated. The seed germination of Angelica gigas showed increase in proportion to increase in aqueous extract concentration of A. gigas, while that of Angelica acutiloba was reduced proportionally to the extract concentration. The seed germination of A. gigas and A. acutiloba treated with aqueous extract of A. acutiloba was inhibited. The seedling elongation of A. gigas and A. acutiloba was slightly increased at lower concentration of aqueous extract of A. gigas, whereas it was proportionally decreased at higher concentrations. The seedling elongation of 2 Angelica plants was decreased by the aqueous extract of A. acutiloba. The aqueous extract of A. acutiloba caused significant inhibition in seedling growth of 2 Angelica plants. The seed germination of Lactuca sativa was not affected by volatile substances emitted from 2 Angelica plants. The radicle elongation of L. sativa treated with volatile substances of 2 Angelica plants was inhibited slightly and it was not suppressed according to the concentration of volatile substances.
