Full textAbstract:
Following the restoration of natural conditions by reducing human pressures, reforestation is currently considered a possible option to accelerate the recovery of seagrass habitats. Long-term monitoring programs theoretically represent an ideal solution to assess whether a reforestation plan has produced the desired results. Here, we report on the performance of a 20 m2 patch of Posidonia oceanica transplanted on dead matte twelve years after transplantation in the Gulf of Palermo, northwestern Sicily. Photo mosaic performed in the area allowed us to detect 23 transplanted patches of both regular and irregular shape, ranging from 0.1 to 2.7 m2 and an overall surface close to 19 m2. Meadow density was 331.6 ± 17.7 shoot m−2 (currently five times higher than the initial value of 66 shoots m−2), and it did not show statistical differences from a close by natural meadow (331.2 ± 14.9). Total primary production, estimated by lepidochronology, varied from 333.0 to 332.7 g dw m2/year, at the transplanted and natural stand, respectively. These results suggest that complete restoration of P. oceanica on dead matte is possible in a relatively short time (a decade), thus representing a good starting point for upscaling the recovery of the degraded meadows in the area.

A field investigation was carried out during the rainy season (kharif) 2001 and 2002 at the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, to establish the agronomic management practices for direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) in loamy sand soils. The treatments included 2 methods of sowing (direct sowing and transplanting), 3 times of sowing (1 June, 10 June and 20 June - the corresponding transplanting on each date, was made 25 days after sowing) and 4 cultivars ('PR 11 l', 'PR 115', 'PR 11 6' and 'IR 64'). The rainfall received during crop season (June to October) of first year was 847 mm and 332.7 mm during second year. Dry-matter accumulation, leaf-area in- dex, effective tillers etc. under direct seeding were significantly more than transplanted rice. The productivity un- der direct-seeded paddy accrued was = 53 qlha (during first year 65 qlha while in second year 40 qlha) in loamy sand soil. The direct-seeded crop matured 10 days earlier than transplanted crop. The water productivity in di- rect-seeded rice ranged between 0.40 and 0.46 kg grain/m3 irrigation water, while under transplanting, it varied between 0.29 and 0.39 kg grain/m3 irrigation water; clearly showing the more water-use efficiency. The maxi- mum productivity was obtained when direct-seeded crop was raised on 10 June and short-duration, early-matur- ing 'PR 11 5' variety excelled other medium- and long-duration varieties in all growth and yield determinants.

Full textAbstract:
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, recurring disease of the gastrointestinal tract of unclear etiology. One of the new approaches to CD therapy is the use of the possibilities of stem cells, in particular, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Currently, the use of MSC in clinical practice for the treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is being studied in patients who receive concomitant therapy with other immunomodulatory medications. Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of MSCs therapy in patients with CD receiving azathioprine (AZA). Materials and methods. The study included 34 patients with inflammatory (luminal) form of CD. The 1st group of patients (n=15) received anti-inflammatory therapy using MSCs culture in combination with AZA. The 2nd group (n=19) received MSCs without AZA. The severity of the attack was assessed in points in accordance with the of Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI). Immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM), interleukins (IL) 1β, 4, 10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (INF-γ), transforming growth factor-1β (TGF-1β), C-reactive protein (CRP), platelets and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at 2, 6 and 12 months from the beginning of MSCs therapy. Results. The initial mean CDAI in the 1st group was 337.6±17.1 points, in the 2nd group - 332.7±11.0 points (p=0.3). In both groups of patients there was a significant decrease in CDAI after 2 months. From the beginning of therapy MSCs: in the 1st group to 118.9±12.4 points, in the 2nd - 120.3±14.1 points (p=0.7), after 6 months - 110.3±11.1 and 114.3±11.8 points (p=0.8), respectively. After 12 months CDAI in the 1st group was 99.9±10.8 points, in the 2nd group it was 100.6±12.1 points (p=0.8). The level of IgA, IgG, IgM was significantly lower in the group of patients with a longer history of the disease and long-term ASA. After the introduction of MSC in both groups of patients with BC, there was a tendency for the growth of pro - and anti-inflammatory cytokines, with a significantly lower level of pro-inflammatory cytokines - INF-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β - in the 1st group, indicating potentiation of the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs and AZA, which provides a more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Conclusion. Transplantation of MSCs promotes an increase in the serum of patients with CD initially reduced concentration of IG, cytokines and restoring their balance as the onset of clinical remission. The combination with AZA has a more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract Background Pituitary cysts (PCs) may be related to the development of diminished growth hormone secretion because they may limit the proliferation of somatotrophs. This study seeks to investigate the mass effect of PCs on the pituitary function. Methods Patients aged 6-18 with cysts and follow-ups between 2007–21 were compared to normal controls (NCs) aged 6-18 from a neuroradiology center. Pituitary volume (PV) is the volume of the pituitary gland including the cyst, while net pituitary volume (netPV) is the volume of the pituitary gland excluding the cyst. Since NCs did not have PCs, only PV was utilized. PVs and netPVs are reported in mm3. Data were stratified into prepubertal (age < 11 yrs) and pubertal (age > 11 yrs). The Kruskal-Wallis One Way ANOVA on Ranks was utilized to compare multiple means, and the Kruskal-Wallis Multiple-Comparison Z Value test (with Bonferroni adjustment) was utilized for pairwise comparisons. Results The mean and median PVs of prepubertal GHD (n=37), ISS (n=5), and NCs (n=58) were 290.2 ± 109.7 and 305.0, 314.4 ± 100.8 and 299.8, and 246.8 ± 63.7 and 241.6, respectively. The difference between mean PVs of prepubertal GHD, ISS, and NCs was not significant. The mean and median PVs of pubertal GHD (n=58), ISS (n=33), and NCs (n=112) were 391.5 ± 163.5 and 370.2, 409.2 ± 215.8 and 382.9, and 424.2 ± 138.9 and 402.7, respectively. The difference between mean PVs of pubertal GHD, ISS, and NCs was not significant. For netPV, the mean and median values for prepubertal GHD and ISS patients were 252.2 ± 83.3 and 272.2, and 245.2 ± 85.7 and 244.9, respectively. The difference between mean netPVs of prepubertal GHD, ISS, and NCs was not significant. For netPV, the mean and median values for pubertal GHD and ISS patients were 332.7 ± 121.3 and 346.4, and 333.9 ± 146.1 and 330.7, respectively. The mean netPVs of pubertal GHD and ISS patients were both significantly lower than the mean PV of pubertal NCs. The mean and median PVs for cyst patients were 364.8 ± 170.0 and 347.8 which was not significantly different from the NCs. The mean and median netPVs for cyst patients were 307.3 ± 122.9 and 289.0 which was significantly different from the NCs (p<0.001). Conclusion When considering the functional component of the pituitary gland, cyst volume should be subtracted from the overall pituitary gland.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Platelets are a component of blood with multiple functions including primary hemostasis, immunity, cancer metastasis, and others. Thrombocytopenia is defined as platelet counts less than 150,000 platelets/μl. There are numerous causes of thrombocytopenia but regardless of cause, multiple studies of thrombocytopenia in infants, children, and adolescents admitted to critical care units (neonatal or pediatric) document significant prognostic value for disease severity. However, there is a paucity of information regarding outcomes in children and adolescents with thrombocytopenia admitted to general pediatric floors. Objective: Better understand the significance of platelet counts and thrombocytopenia in our acute general pediatric patients. Methods: Retrospective study conducted on pediatric patients (infants, children, and adolescents up to 19 years of age) admitted to the general pediatric floors at OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital between July 2010 to July 2018. Patients' demographics, source of admission, primary diagnosis, length of stay, initial platelet count, and transfer to higher levels of care were analyzed. Platelet counts were grouped into mean platelet count +/- 2 SD and <150/nL, 150-450/nL, >450/nL for data analysis. Those previously diagnosed with hematological or oncological diagnoses as well as those directly admitted to the NICU or PICU were excluded. A T-test and multivariate model were used to deem statistical significance. Results: 10,858 charts were included in the study after exclusion criteria were met. Of the patients, 48.2% were female and 51.8% male. The mean age was 4.7 (±5.2) years of age. The majority of our general pediatric admissions came from our emergency department followed by outside hospital transfers and then physician offices. The average length of stay was 3.2 days. The mean platelet count was 332.7/nL with a SD of 127.3. We found significance with regards to transfer to higher levels of care in both the mean platelet count with SD and in the grouped platelet counts. Patients with platelet counts <150/nL were 2.9 times more likely to transfer to higher levels of care than those with counts between 150-450/nL (p<.0001, 95% CI 2-4.3) and 2.2 times likely to transfer than those with counts >450/nL (p<.0006, 95% CI 1.4-3.4). Interestingly, we also discovered that outside hospital transfers were more likely to transfer to higher levels of care compared to other sources of admission. Lastly, our top 5 diagnosis categories included: Infection, GI, Kidney/Bladder/Urinary, Neurology, and Muscle Skeletal/Joint. Conclusion: Previous studies done in the NICU and PICU show that thrombocytopenia is associated with poorer outcomes. Our study suggests that this also holds true in the acute general pediatric patient population. Additionally it gives us insight into common diagnosis categories and admission sources which may have more negative outcomes. Our data supports the concept that providers should be aware of the potential negative impact of thrombocytopenia in the acute pediatric patient and pay them closer attention. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

"Responses of Water Fluxes and Water-Use Efficiency of Maize to Warming Based on Water Transformation Dynamical Processes Experimental Device (WTDPED) Experiment." Water 10, no. 11 (November 14, 2018): 1660. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/w10111660.
Full textAbstract:
Evaluating the impacts of warming on water balance components in the groundwater–soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (GSPAC) and crop growth are crucial for assessing the risk of water resources and food security under future global warming. A water transformation dynamical processes experimental device (WTDPED) was developed using a chamber coupled with a weighing lysimeter and groundwater supply system, which could simultaneously control both climatic and ground-water level conditions and accurately monitor water fluxes in the GSPAC. Two experiments with maize under increased temperature by 2 °C (T-warm) and ambient temperature (T-control) scenarios were conducted via the WTDPED. The duration of growing season decreased from 125 days under T-control to 117 days under 2 °C warming. There was little difference of total evapotranspiration (ET) (332.6 mm vs. 332.5 mm), soil water storage change (∆W) (−119.0 mm vs. −119.0 mm), drainage (D) (−13.6 mm vs. −13.5 mm) between T-control and T-warm experiments. The average daily ET for maize significantly increased by approximately 6.7% (p < 0.05) in the T-warm experiment, especially during the sixth leaf to tasseling—silking stage with an increase of 0.36 mm with respect to the T-control experiment. There were evident decreases in LAI (leaf area index), whereas non-significant decreases in mean stem diameter, crop height and leaf chlorophyll content under T-warm compared to T-control experiment. However, the chlorophyll content increased by 12% during the sixth leaf to tasseling–silking stage under 2 °C warming, which accelerated the photosynthesis and transpiration rate. The grain yield and water-use efficiency (WUE) for maize increased by 11.0% and 11.1% in the T-warm experiment, respectively, especially due to enhanced growth during the sixth leaf to tasseling–silking stage. This study provided important references for agricultural planting and water management to adapt to a warming environment.

Full textAbstract:
A total of 312 adults of matrinxã were captured bimonthly, between 2011-2012, in two sites of the rio São Francisco: immediately downstream of the Três Marias Dam (site 1) and in the confluence with the rio Abaeté (site 2). Specimens of Brycon orthotaenia from site 2 presented higher values of total length (32.24 ± 5.70 cm for females and 26.64 ± 3.79 cm for males) and body weight (506.66 ± 332.17 g for females and 267.36 ± 145.84 g for males), when compared with the site 1. In site 2 was registered the highest GSI means (9.97 ± 2.96 for females and 0.93 ± 0.52 for males), compared with the site 1 means. Reproduction period occurred from October to February. Unlike site 2, no spawned females or spent males were captured in site 1. Significant differences were found between females and males in site 2 (χ2 = 26.84, df = 1, P < 0.05). Physical-chemical parameters of the water presented higher values in site 2. The canonical correlation test indicated that the reproduction of males is less susceptible to environmental factors than that of females. These results show that B. orthotaenia finds favourable conditions to reproduction just in site 2.

Full textAbstract:
Flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity have great potential applications in wearable electronics. However, it is still a great challenge to prepare sense electrodes with high flexibility, high sensitivity, and high electrochemical performance. Here, we propose a novel and simple method for carbonizing cotton fibers as excellent electrically conductive materials. Moreover, carbonized cotton fiber (CCF) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were assembled into a flexible sense electrode. The CCF/PDMS electrode shows a high sensitivity of 10.8 kPa−1, a wide response frequency from 0.2–2.0 Hz, and durability over 900 cycles. The combined CCF/PDMS sensors can monitor human movement and pulse vibration, showing the enormous potential for use in wearable device technology. Additionally, the CCF/PDMS can be used as electrodes with a specific capacitance of 332.5 mF cm−2 at a current density of 5 mA cm−2, thanks to their high electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity, demonstrating the promising prospect of flexible supercapacitors.

Full textAbstract:
While the literature is clear about excessive tillage decreasing soil carbon (C) content, there are few experimental studies that document the comparative effects of soil and crop management on C sequestration. Using micrometeorology we measured CO2 flux from a maize crop grown on both no-till and tilled soils in north-central Ohio. We used Bowen Ratio Energy Balance (BREB) systems to quantify the flux between the atmosphere and either the soil surface (at crop planting) or 0.2 m above the canopy once the crop was established and growing. The no-till plot sequestered 263 g CO2 m-2 (90% confidence interval -432.1 to -99.9) while the tilled plot emitted 146 g CO2 m-2 (90% confidence interval -53.3 to 332.2) during 104 days of the 2015 growing season; a net difference of 410 g CO2 m-2. The difference is statistically significant at the 90% confidence level (based on a bootstrap analysis). The results indicate that no-tillage practices can sequester C, maintain soil productivity, and ensure landscape sustainability.

Cette recherche examine l'influence de l'attitude à l'égard de l'argent sur l'image perçue de la banque dans le contexte syrien. Le rôle des caractéristiques sociodémographiques du client bancaire (Genre, Revenu, Âge) est ensuite étudié. Nous développons enfin une typologie de consommateurs selon leur attitude à l'égard de l'argent. Afin de réaliser ces objectifs, une méthodologie quantitative a été mobilisée. Trois niveaux de résultats peuvent être mis en évidence. Tout d'abord, une relation entre les dimensions de l'attitude à l'égard de l'argent et les composantes de l'image de la banque a été trouvée. Ensuite, nous avons identifié un rôle modérateur des variables sociodémographiques. Enfin, notre analyse typologique a permis d'identifier trois profils de consommateurs selon leur attitude à l'égard de l'argent « les matérialistes », « les économes » et « les indifférents »This research examines the effect of the customer money attitude on the perceived image of the bank. The effect of socio-Demographic characteristics of a bank client (Gender, Income, Age) is then examined. Finally, this research develops a typology of customers' according to their attitude towards money. To achieve the objectives of this study, a quantitative approach is used. Three principal results can be noticed. First, a relationship between attitude towards money dimensions and bank image composites has been identified. Second, we have found a moderator role of socio demographic variables. Finally our cluster analysis has reveled three customer profiles considering their attitude towards money: "materialist"," Frugal", "indifferent"

Full textAbstract:
The irradiation experiment HFR-EU1 in the HFR Petten is currently being conducted by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre – Institute for Energy (JRC-IE). The irradiation targets are 5 spherical High Temperature Reactor (HTR) fuel pebbles, 2 of INET production and 3 of former German production. Both types are made of TRISO coated particles and are tested for their potential for very high temperature performance and high burn-up. The irradiation started on 29 September 2006 and, by 24 February 2008, had accumulated 12 reactor cycles totaling 332.8 efpd and a calculated maximum burn-up of 8.9% FIMA (INET) and 11.2% FIMA (AVR). The objective of the HFR-EU1 test is to irradiate 5 HTR fuel pebbles at conditions beyond the characteristics of current HTR reactor designs with pebble bed cores, e.g. HTR-Modul, HTR-10 and PMBR. This should demonstrate that pebble bed HTRs are capable of enhanced performance in terms of sustainability (further increased power conversion efficiency, improved fuel use) and thus reduced waste production. The surface temperature of all pebbles was held constant during the irradiation, with the exception of HFR downtime and power transients. HFR-EU1 should demonstrate the feasibility of low coated particle failure fractions under normal operating conditions and more specifically: • high fuel surface temperature of 900°C (INET) and 950°C (AVR); • very high burn-up of 17% FIMA (INET) and 20% FIMA (AVR) which is significantly higher than the license limit of the HTR-Modul (approx. 8% FIMA); it will be explained in this paper why this objective had to be somewhat reduced due to excessive irradiation time requirements and technological difficulties. This paper provides the irradiation history of the experiment performed so far including data on fission gas release.
