Bromoxynil Antagonizes Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) Control with Graminicides

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Field studies were conducted over 2 yr to evaluate rhizome johnsongrass control with tank mixtures and sequential applications of bromoxynil at 1.7 kg ai/ha and the graminicides clethodim, fluazifop-P, and quizalofop-P. When compared with the graminicide alone, bromoxynil reduced johnsongrass control 28 days after treatment (DAT) 20, 36, and 55% when applied in combination with clethodim, fluazifop-P, and quizalofop-P, respectively. Application of bromoxynil 7, 3, and 1 d before or 1, 3, and 7 d after all graminicides reduced antagonism when compared with the bromoxynil plus graminicide mixtures. Based on johnsongrass control 28 DAT, antagonism was precluded when bromoxynil was applied 3 d before clethodim and 7 d before fluazifop-P and quizalofop-P. Application of bromoxynil 3 and 7 d after quizalofop-P and 7 d after clethodim also precluded antagonism. The antagonistic tank mixtures of bromoxynil and graminicides reduced cotton yield 17% because of reduced johnsongrass control compared with graminicides alone. A 3-d or greater application interval between bromoxynil and the graminicides was necessary to maximize cotton yield.

Observation of Chaotic behaviour in the CCJJ+DC model of Coupled Josephson Junctions

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Erratic behaviour in the simulated current-voltage characteristics of cou- pled intrinsic Josephson junctions, for certain ranges of the parameters, are observed and are shown to be chaotic in origin. In order to demonstrate the chaotic origin of the erratic behaviour, the Lyapunov exponents for the system are calculated. System trajectories and their Poincar e maps are used to conrm the chaotic signature ob-
Portable mini antenna for detecting and distinguishing between types of hemorrhagic stroke

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Stroke is a major cause of disability and death worldwide, and it constitutes a considerable burden on global health. Thus, prompt detection of strokes reduces the possible risk of death. In this work, an antenna in the form of a Moroccan decoration was proposed for early detection of hemorrhagic stroke. This includes testing the five main types of hemorrhagic stroke, which are subdural, epidural, subarachnoid, intracerebral, and intraventricular, and this method provides the possibility of distinguishing between them, thus reducing the rate of death and disability by a large percentage. The proposed antenna is characterized by its small size with dimensions of 30×35×0.62 mm3, a resonance frequency of 2.806 GHz, a 3.196 GHz bandwidth, and a 2.8 dB gain. The simulation results of the proposed antenna show high efficiency in detecting and distinguishing hemorrhagic strokes, as indicated by clear changes in resonance frequency and return losses S11 caused by brain percentage change due to hemorrhagic stroke.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Centrifugal compressor purchasers and end-users realise the value and payback of accurate and proper shop performance test and shop mechanical run test. Shop test is a necessary step for centrifugal compressor future reliability and trouble free operation. Procedures and methods to correctly implement shop performance test and shop mechanical run test of process centrifugal performance are discussed. ASME-PTC-10 type 1 performance test should be done wherever possible. Otherwise arrangement and details of ASME-PTC-10 type 2 performance test, as close to specified operating condition as possible, should be fixed before machine order.
Neuronal immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecules in epithelial morphogenesis: insights fromDrosophila

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

In this review, we address the function of immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecules (IgCAMs) in epithelia. Work in the Drosophila model system in particular has revealed novel roles for calcium-independent adhesion molecules in the morphogenesis of epithelial tissues. We review the molecular composition of lateral junctions with a focus on their IgCAM components and reconsider the functional roles of epithelial lateral junctions. The epithelial IgCAMs discussed in this review have well-defined roles in the nervous system, particularly in the process of axon guidance, suggesting functional overlap and conservation in mechanism between that process and epithelial remodelling. We expand on the hypothesis that epithelial occluding junctions and synaptic junctions are compositionally equivalent and present a novel hypothesis that the mechanism of epithelial cell (re)integration and synaptic junction formation are shared. We highlight the importance of considering non-cadherin-based adhesion in our understanding of the mechanics of epithelial tissues and raise questions to direct future work. This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Contemporary morphogenesis’.
Detection and tracking of moving targets in phased array radar

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report describes the project titled, Detection and Tracking of Moving Targets in Phased Array Radar. The intent of this project is to improve the detectability and tractability in phased array radar. After the fundamental studies on phased arrays and target detection and tracking, a technique was identified to improve the detectability and tractability in phased array radar. Simulation software, Matlab (r2015b), was used to describe the proposed technique in details. During target detection and tracking, it is boon for the main beam to have its gain as high as possible with half gain beam width as narrow as possible. It was found that the increase in the total number of elements used in phased array radar would only allow a logarithmic increase in gain with half gain beam width converges to a constant. Hence, a possible technique of using multi-beam deployment in phased array radar was proposed. The technique partitioned the phased array virtually into smaller array, called sub-array. As such, it enabled multi-beam deployment. The validation of Matlab script was to ensure the integrity of the proposed technique simulation results. The validation looked at the windowing and phase sequences required for each element to achieve the desired beam pattern. An algorithm was designed to decide if multi-beam deployment was viable during the scan interval for multiple targets detection and tracking. The algorithm made use of predetermined number of deployable beams and estimated gain for each target during the decision making process. As the constructive and destructive interference between sub-arrays affect the main beam characteristics, investigations on the proposed scheme were carried out to describe its limitations, performances trade-off and advantages. Its limitations were associated with its key parameter and constraint. Although there were mixed results on its trade-off, there were numerous advantages of the proposed scheme. Such as, it could be implemented on a conventional system without any hardware modification. All in all, the aim to improve the detectability and tractability in phased array radar has been met.
Paranoid posting

General paranoia is the term that best describes a user's social media experience. The spaces we go to socialize online are full of suspicion, potential bad-faith actors, and advertisements that seem to know your every move. This attention-grabbing, habit-forming culture is sold on dreams of limitless love between family, friends, and community (as promised by the Facebook slogan "bring the world closer together"). Genuine connection can be found online, but the heart of this network lies outside fiber optic cables.
Can phenformin-induced lactic acidosis be prevented?

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Although patients taking phenformin are more likely to develop lactic acidosis in the presence of renal, cardiovascular, or hepatic disease, criteria for safe use of the drug are not well established. Eight diabetics died of lactic acidosis in Nottingham in 1972-5 and all were taking phenformin in therapeutic doses. Six had attended the diabetic clinic within a month of their terminal illness. Two patients had appreciable renal impairment and should not have been given phenformin. Four had hypertension and minimal evidence of renal disease, while in two no predisposing factor was identified. There are so many contraindications to the use of phenformin that it is doubtful whether patients on the drug can be monitored adequately. We suggest that phenformin should be withdrawn from general use.
Understanding the advances in Sorghum grain quality improvement: An overview

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Sorghum, a crucial cereal crop with versatile applications, is increasingly recognized for its grain quality attributes. The nutritional and biochemical diversity within sorghum, encompassing elements such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), proteins, starch, dietary fibers, and ß-carotene, plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality across diverse sorghum accessions. Breeding programs offer a promising avenue for further improvement in these traits. Additionally, sorghum features a spectrum of phenolic compounds, including tannins and flavonoids, influencing both pigmentation and potential health benefits. The antioxidative properties of these compounds underscore their critical role in promoting health and mitigating oxidative stress. The significance of sorghum is shaped by genetic factors, environmental conditions, ripening stages, and varietal distinctions, highlighting the complex interplay between grain structure, genetics, and nutritional content. As the global demand for diverse, nutritionally rich food sources continues to rise, this review provides insights aimed at deepening our understanding of sorghum's potential as a staple crop with substantial nutritional and health-promoting attributes.
Ambiguities in MR imaging of tumoral cysts in the spinal cord.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We describe two cases in which the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of tumors of the spinal cord were ambiguous. Both cases were primary low-grade astrocytomas that had had previous surgery. In the first case the findings were indeterminate as to whether the lesion was solid, cystic with proteinaceous fluid, or mixed. Intraoperative ultrasound demonstrated large cystic areas with an associated solid mass. In the second case MR was reported as cystic with a solid nodule. Ultrasonography demonstrated an almost entirely solid mass with a localized cyst corresponding to the presumed solid area. In both of these cases, but especially the latter, the localization of cysts within the lesions was of vital importance to therapy.
Parallel non-rigid registration on a cluster of workstations

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract: Over recent years, non-rigid registration has become a major issue in medical imaging. It consists in recovering a dense point-to-point correspondence field between two images and usually takes a long time. This is in contrast to the needs of a clinical environment, where usability and speed are major constraints, leading to the necessity of reducing the computation time from slightly less than an hour to just a few minutes. Another constraint is the usual unwillingness of healthcare organizations to invest in expensive high-performance computing solutions. Cluster computing proved to be a convenient solution to our computation needs, offering a large processing power at a low cost. Bi-processor workstation can be used simultaneously for parallel computation and individual day-to-day use and they are already present in many labs and hospitals. Our goal in this article is to provide a more usable tool by taking advantage of the available computation power. Among the fast and efficient non-rigid registration algorithms, we chose the demons algorithm [1,2] for its simplicity and good performances. The parallel implementation decomposes the correspondence field into blocks, each block being assigned to one workstation of the cluster. We take advantage of the inherently regular structure of the algorithm that allows a nearly perfect static load balancing and also its locality, allowing to keep the amount of communication within a reasonable range. We obtained an acceleration of 11 by using 15 2GHz PC’s connected through a 1GB/s Ethernet network and reduced the computation time from 40min to 3min30.

Authors of the paper conclude that histological examinations of SCC of the skin are necessary meaning detailed analysis: degree of differentiation of tumor cells by Broders' examination, examination of tumor edges and histological types of tumor. The incisional biopsy of tumor lesions had only been used to confirm clinical diagnosis in order to perform x-ray therapy, but it could not meet necessary criteria the excisional biopsy could in regard to evaluate tumor edges and histological type of the tumor.
Load maximum behavior in the inflation of hollow spheres of incompressible material with strain-dependent damage

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Carroll has shown three qualitatively different cases of behavior in the load-expansion relation for the inflation of hollow incompressible isotropic elastic spheres. Each of these cases was related to material response in uniaxial compression (or equal biaxial extension). For “type A” materials, load increases monotonically with expansion; for “type B” materials, load increases monotonically and then decreases; for “type C” materials, load increases monotonically, decreases, and again increases. The present work discusses the monotonicity properties of the load-expansion relation when rubbery materials undergo microstructural change or damage. The analysis is carried out using a constitutive equation for materials undergoing continuous scission and reformation of macromolecular junctions. Results are presented for the case when this leads to softening of response. For “type A", sufficient softening can cause loss of monotonicity; for “type B", the softening leads to loss of monotonicity at smaller levels of inflation and lower loads.
Cosmetic nail surgery for congenital nail abnormalities

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Nails play an important esthetic and functional role in our society. Nowadays, esthetic improvements become increasingly common. Some nail dystrophies may bother patients in daily life: denial of wearing sandals, hiding a finger by keeping their hands in pockets, clenching their fists in public, etc. Physicians should be aware that some congenital and acquired nail dystrophies might benefit from surgical cures allowing a nice cosmetic outcome when performed by skilled surgeons. Here will be reviewed some of the most common nail dystrophies that may be improved by surgery: malalignment of the big toenail, trapezoidal nails, racquet thumbs, vertical implantation and duplication of the nail on the fifth toe. For more complex dysplasias and malformations, involvement of hand surgeons is recommended.
Multicolor Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Approaches for Simultaneous Analysis of the Entire Human Genome

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

Abstract Analysis of the organization of the human genome is vital for understanding genetic diversity, human evolution, and disease pathogenesis. A number of approaches, such as multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays, cytogenomic microarray (CMA), and next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, are available for simultaneous analysis of the entire human genome. Multicolor FISH‐based spectral karyotyping (SKY), multiplex FISH (M‐FISH), and Rx‐FISH may provide rapid identification of interchromosomal and intrachromosomal rearrangements as well as the origin of unidentified extrachromosomal elements. Recent advances in molecular cytogenetics have made it possible to efficiently examine the entire human genome in a single experiment at much higher resolution and specificity using CMA and NGS technologies. Here, we present an overview of the approaches available for genome‐wide analyses. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The role of professional commitment as a mediator in the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among lecturers in higher-education institutions

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study was conducted in order to find the role of professional commitment as a mediator in relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment among lecturers in higher-education institutions. There were 328 lecturers from 11 higher-education institutions in Jakarta, Tangerang, Denpasar, Jimbaran, and Padang who answered Organisational Commitment Scale, Job Satisfaction Survey, and Professional Commitment Scale. A simple mediation analysis was conducted using PROCESS macro. The results indicate positive significant effects of job satisfaction on professional commitment, professional commitment on organisational commitment, and job satisfaction on organisational commitment. This study also found that professional commitment is a partial mediator in the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment among lecturers in higher-education institutions. The implication is that higher-education institutions can enhance lecturers' professional and organisational commitment by creating a more satisfying working environment.

TheResistance: leadership and the exercise of dissent in the Twitterverse

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter explores the emergence and coalition of virtual groups on Twitter in the aftermath of the 2016 election to voice opposition to the Trump administration and GOP agenda. Collectively using the hashtag #TheResistance, subgroups such as #GeeksResist, #StarFleet, #RebelAlliance, #HeroesResist, #RebelScum, #DAResists, #Galactica, and others, demonstrate the emergence of leaders in an online environment for creating community and common purpose in the exercise of dissent. Interestingly, these groups have co-opted the characters of science-fiction-fantasy narratives not only as a means of creating community but also of enabling intragroup conferral of leadership. Discussion includes team development, challenges for real world activism, intersectionality, and the anonymity of a character account as a catalyst for self-empowerment, leadership, and dissent.
139  Presentation of a rare dysautonomic variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disease of the peripheral nervous system. We describe the case of a gentleman who presented with a predominant dysautonomic variant of GBS. A 55-year-old gentleman presented with a sub-acute onset, progressive syndrome characterised by a combination of ascending distal upper and lower limb paraesthesia, postural dizziness, early satiety and constipation. This was preceded by an upper respiratory tract infection and vaccinations for pneumo- coccus and influenza. On examination, he had length-dependent reduction to pinprick and tempera- ture sensation, normal power, preserved reflexes, with significant orthostatic hypotension. MRI brain and whole spine was unremarkable. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed albumino-cytological dissociation and nerve conduction studies was consistent with subacute onset demyelinating polyradiculoneuropa- thy. A diagnosis of pandysautonomic variant of GBS was formulated. He was treated with 5 days of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) (0.4kg/kg/day) with improvements in orthostatic hypotension from day 3 of treatment. While autonomic instability is common in GBS, a predominant autonomic presentation without motor weakness can represent a rare pandysautonomic variant of GBS. This case illustrates the importance of early detection of autonomic dysregulation in GBS, the requirement for close monitoring and use of IVIg as an effective therapeutic management of autonomic dysfunction. yun.huang@nhs.net
Nitrogen‐doped porous biomass carbon with ultrastable performance as anodes for potassium‐ion batteries

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The potential safety hazards and limited lithium resources of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have restricted their practical application. Potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs) are a novel energy storage technology with great cost advantages and are a promising alternative to LIBs. However, because of the large ionic radius of K + , the common anode materials used in LIBs exhibit a large volumetric expansion and structural collapse in the process of charging and discharging in a KIB. In this work, the prepared nitrogen‐doped porous carbon fibers (P‐CFs) from bombyx mori silk cocoons via a simple KCl activation and high‐temperature carbonization method. The P‐CFs possess a large specific surface area and one‐dimensional porous structure, offering facile storage and fast transport channels for K + ions. When used as an anode for KIBs, the P‐CFs exhibit a high reversible specific capacity of 275 mAh·g −1 at a current density of 0.1 A·g −1 after 500 cycles and even retain a capacity of 100 mAh·g −1 after 5000 cycles at 2 A·g −1 . This study demonstrates a simple strategy for the low‐cost synthesis of nitrogen‐doped porous carbon fibers from an environmental friendly biomaterial, with excellent electrochemical performance as an anode for KIBs.
