Abstract:

The concentration of short branched-chain fatty acids, specifically 4-methyloctanoic acid (MOA) and 4-methylnonanoic acid (MNA), in subcutaneous fat were determined in five genotypes (Poll Dorset × Border Leicester Merino, Poll Dorset × Merino, Poll Dorsetmuscling × Merino, Merino × Merino, Border Leicester × Merino) of Australian sheep. In total, 264 ewes and wethers, either 8 or 22 months of age, were selected for genotype, age and gender. These animals were sired by 16 rams that were selected for growth based on estimated breeding values (EBVs), except for one group (Poll Dorsetmuscling × Merino), which was selected for muscling based on EBVs. There was a strong relationship between the concentration of MOA and MNA at 8 and 22 months of age. There were no differences between lambs sired by Poll Dorset rams selected for muscling or growth. The 8- and 22-month-old Poll Dorset × Merino sheep had higher levels of MOA and MNA compared with the other genotypes (P < 0.001). At 8 months of age, the wethers had higher levels of MOA and MNA (P < 0.001) than the ewes of the same genotype. There was a strong relationship (P < 0.001) between MOA and MNA and the fat and lean percentage for 22-month-old ewes. Effects of sire, dam and slaughter day (at the same slaughter age) on MOA and MNA were also found. The results suggest that there is good feasibility for selection against animals at risk of possessing higher levels of short branched-chain fatty acids.

Abstract:

Ordinary rosin sizing agents are mixtures of resin acids that include abietic acid and related com-pounds obtained from softwoods such as pine. Fatty acids, which are another byproduct of the kraft pulping of soft-wood species, also may have hydrophobic effects, but their use as sizing agents has seldom been considered. In the current study, abietic acid and oleic acid, in the absence of other components, were first modified by reaction with maleic acid anhydride. Then, the maleated derivatives (maleated oleic acid [MOA] and maleated abietic acid [MAA]), which were emulsified with cationic starch at the 1:1 and 3:2 ratio, respectively, were added to fiber furnish containing aluminum sulfate (papermaker’s alum). The prepared sheets were dried with a rotating drum on one side at 100°C at low pressure to cure the sizing agents. The chemical, optical strength, and absorption properties were measured. The presence of the sizing material was confirmed using time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), and the retention of the sizing agent on fibers was supported by evidence of hydrocarbons on the paper surface. In addition to achieving sufficient water resistance features with MAA, a lesser hydrophobic character was obtained when using MOA. Compared to commercial applications, relatively large amounts of sizing agent were used to obtain a sufficient sizing degree. The MOA required 5% addition to achieve a similar sizing degree as MAA at the 2% level. The sizing treatments also resulted in substantial increases in tensile index value. Since cationic starch was used in the formulation of the sizing agents, the increase in tensile index may have been due to the influence of cationic starch. Contributions to paper strength from a combination of ionic complexation and mutual association of hydrophobic groups is also proposed. Depending on the amount of sizing agent, the yellowness increased, especial-ly when sizing with MOA.

Full text

Abstract:

The Moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) are an extinct group of the ratite clade from New Zealand. The overkill hypothesis asserts that the first New Zealand settlers hunted the Moa to extinction by 1450 CE, whereas the staggered survival hypothesis allows for Moa survival until after Europeans began to arrive on New Zealand. Alleged Moa sightings post-1450 CE may shed light on these competing hypotheses. A dataset of 97 alleged Moa sightings from circa 1675 CE to 1993 CE was constructed, with sightings given subjective quality ratings corresponding to various statistical probabilities. Cumulative probabilities of Moa persistence were calculated with a conservative survival model using these probabilistic sighting-records; a method recently applied to sightings of the Thylacine. Cumulative persistence probability fell sharply after 1408 CE, and across pessimistic and optimistic variations of the model, it was more likely than not that the Moa were extinct by 1770 CE. Probabilistic sighting-record models favour the overkill hypothesis, and give very low probabilities of Moa persistence around the time of European arrival. Eyewitness data on Moa sightings are amenable to scientific study, and these methods may be applied to similar animals.

Abstract:

Metal oxide surge arresters (MOA) is a power system overvoltage protection device, and the online monitoring of the MOA is an important means to ensure the safe operation of the power system. This paper presents a new MOA insulation defects monitoring method. This method is based on the relative change in capacitance to MOA insulation defects as characteristic parameter, the aging classified as a kind of local defects, the system disturbance contains higher harmonic of transient voltage and current as the signal source, dynamically generated MOA partial insulation discriminant function of the defects in the diagnosis. The maximum value of the discriminant function corresponds to the local insulation defects. The proposed method contributes to the MOA monitoring methods and the development of technology.

Abstract:

Metal-oxide arrester (MOA) has been widely used in electric power systems. The leakage current monitoring of MOA can not only detect the MOA’s running state continuously and intelligently but also reduce the unexpected outage of the equipment, which is also beneficial to the stability of the grid. The MOA loses its protection function due to various faults caused by excessive leakage current in actual running. This article studies the monitoring method of MOA based on leakage current sensor and back propagation (BP) neural network. At first, we design a novel leakage current sensor to acquire the leakage current of MOA. Then, the leakage current measurement of MOA based on harmonic analysis is proposed. Finally, the strong training ability of the BP neural network is used to train some key parameters that can reflect the aging of MOA so as to monitor the MOA state. The experimental results show that the leakage current acquired from the simulation is close to the actual leakage current that needs to be measured. It is also shown that the proposed method has good anti-interference and can effectively monitor the aging of MOA. Through the training of the BP neural network, the experiments prove that the training method in this article is superior to other neural network training methods obviously.

Abstract:

Control of Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama and citrus leafminer Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton is important to reduce the spread and severity of huanglongbing (HLB) (citrus greening) and citrus canker diseases, respectively. Insecticides are critical for the management of these pests. We therefore conducted two replicated experiments using spray treatments containing single or multiple modes of action (MoA) insecticides to reduce the incidence of these two pests in bearing citrus. Tank mixing in 47 L·ha−1 (5 gal/acre) of water with synthetic plant terpenes (Requiem 25 EC, Unknown MoA) or adjuvant petroleum oil (PureSpray Green, Unknown MoA) did not improve the effectiveness of the pyrethroid zeta-cypermethrin (Mustang Max 0.15 EC, MoA 3A) against D. citri. Its control with flupyradifurone (Sivanto 200 SL MoA 4D) and PureSpray Green in 935 L·ha−1 (100 gal/acre) water was similar to Mustang Max 0.15 EC and Requiem 25 EC, but mixtures did not provide better control than Mustang Max 0.15 EC alone. Phyllocnistis citrella was controlled only with Sivanto 200 SL and PureSpray Green and Requiem 25 EC alone. The addition of cyantraniliprole (group 28 MoA in A16971 premixed with thiamethoxam MoA 4A), pymetrozine (Fulfill 50 WDG, MoA 9B), or abamectin (Agri-Mek SC, MoA 6) did not improve and in many cases reduced the performance of thiamethoxam (Actara 25 WG, MoA 4A) against D. citri and P. citrella. These results demonstrated no advantage to single applications of multiple MoAs over the most effective active ingredients when applied alone for control of D. citri or P. citrella. Therefore, rotations of these active ingredients would be preferable to mixtures to avoid selection for resistance against multiple MoAs by any one application.

"Metastases outside the abdomen (MOA) are associated with initial high tumor burden (TB) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)." Journal of Clinical Oncology 24, no. 18_suppl (June 20, 2006): 9546. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2006.24.18_suppl.9546.

Abstract:

9546 Background: In GIST MOA are rare events (8–10%) with a prognostic and predictive impact (JCO 2005;23:5795). To stage GIST, NCCN recommends either CT or abdominal MRI + chest imaging, suggesting PET scan only if early response assessment is needed. Therefore, MOA may be missed by standard work up. We evaluated if TB (largest tumor diameter > 12 centimetres) at diagnosis was associated to a higher incidence of MOA. Methods: From 01/02 to 12/05, 66 pts affected by GIST were either treated or followed-up at our hospital. Routine initial work up consisted in: chest CT + CT or MRI abdominal scan. Pet scan was performed if: uncertainties after standard imaging, to monitor “neoadjuvant” therapy or within clinical trials. Identified MOA if unique, would be considered for fine needle biopsy whilst multiple MOA would be monitored by most appropriate imaging technique. Results: Twenty-three pts (34%) had TB between 13 and 31 centimetres. At diagnosis 10 pts (15%) had MOA located in: lung (7 pts), bone (2 pts) subcutaneous tissue (1 pts). In this unfavourable group 9 pts (14%) were affected by tumors larger than 12 cm. Pts without MOA were 56 (85%) of whom 14 (21%) had TB. The association between initial TB and MOA was statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusions: In this small series, high tumor burden is positively correlated to MOA. If these data should be confirmed, initial diagnostic work up could usefully include both chest CT and PET scan in abdominal mass beyond 12 centimetres wide. A precocious recognition of MOA would allow to better control therapeutic response and to better identify high-risk patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Full text

Abstract:

The leave-one-out cross validation (LOO-CV), which is a model-independent evaluate method, cannot always select the best of several models when the sample size is small. We modify the LOO-CV method by moving a validation point around random normal distributions—rather than leaving it out—naming it the move-one-away cross validation (MOA-CV), which is a model-dependent method. The key point of this method is to improve the accuracy rate of model selection that is unreliable in LOO-CV without enough samples. Errors from LOO-CV and MOA-CV, i.e., LOO-CVerror and MOA-CVerror, respectively, are employed to select the best one of four typical surrogate models through four standard mathematical functions and one engineering problem. The coefficient of determination (R-square, R2) is used to be a calibration of MOA-CVerror and LOO-CVerror. Results show that: (i) in terms of selecting the best models, MOA-CV and LOO-CV become better as sample size increases; (ii) MOA-CV has a better performance in selecting best models than LOO-CV; (iii) in the engineering problem, both the MOA-CV and LOO-CV can choose the worst models, and in most cases, MOA-CV has a higher probability to select the best model than LOO-CV.

Abstract:

Often the mutualistic roles of extinct species are inferred based on plausible assumptions, but sometimes palaeoecological evidence can overturn such inferences. We present an example from New Zealand, where it has been widely assumed that some of the largest-seeded plants were dispersed by the giant extinct herbivorous moa (Dinornithiformes). The presence of large seeds in preserved moa gizzard contents supported this hypothesis, and five slow-germinating plant species ( Elaeocarpus dentatus, E. hookerianus, Prumnopitys ferruginea, P. taxifolia, Vitex lucens ) with thick seedcoats prompted speculation about whether these plants were adapted for moa dispersal. However, we demonstrate that all these assumptions are incorrect. While large seeds were present in 48% of moa gizzards analysed, analysis of 152 moa coprolites (subfossil faeces) revealed a very fine-grained consistency unparalleled in extant herbivores, with no intact seeds larger than 3.3 mm diameter. Secondly, prolonged experimental mechanical scarification of E. dentatus and P. ferruginea seeds did not reduce time to germination, providing no experimental support for the hypothesis that present-day slow germination results from the loss of scarification in moa guts. Paradoxically, although moa were New Zealand's largest native herbivores, the only seeds to survive moa gut passage intact were those of small-seeded herbs and shrubs.

Abstract:

Abstract Background After first anti-TNFɑ (aTNF) failure in ulcerative colitis (UC), switching to a different mechanism of action (MoA) could decrease the rates of failure and discontinuation compared to a second aTNF and with a better safety profile. Methods We performed a multicenter and retrospective study (6 Andalusian sites) in which patients diagnosed of UC who had failed a first biological therapy with an aTNF and started a second-line biological therapy with another aTNF or a different MoA such as ustekinumab (UST), vedolizumab (VDZ), tofacitinib and filgobinib (JAK) were included. The aim of our study was to evaluate the long-term durability of a different MoA compared to a second aTNF after a first-line therapy failure with aTNF. Results 185 patients with UC were included. There were no significant differences between both groups in term of age, sex, extension of disease, extraintestinal manifestations or IMIDs, smoking habit or HLA-DQA1*05. The only significant difference was disease duration (9 years MoA vs 12 years in second aTNF, p=0.02). 80 patients received a different MoA (37 VDZ, 24 UST, 7 JAK) and 105 a second aTNF (34 IFX, 60 ADA, 11 golimumab). Duration of first aTNF, although non-significant (p=0.06), tended to be shorter in the MoA group (7 months vs 12 months in aTNF group). The most frequent cause of suspension of first aTNF in the MoA group was primary failure (46% vs 31%, p= 0.02) and in the second aTNF group was secondary failure (51% vs 35%, p=0.02). The follow-up mean was 22.4 months in the group of a different MoA and 23.3 months in the second aTNF group. 60% of patients discontinued the second-line biological treatment, 64% with aTNF vs 35% with a different MoA. Durability of therapies in the group of different MoA was significatively longer compared with second aTNF (50% vs 31.4%, p=0.036) (figure 1). JAK showed the best durability (63.2%), followed by UST (66.7%), IFX (52.9%), VDZ (32.4%), ADA (21.7%) and golimumab (18.2%), with significant differences (p=0.03). Reasons for discontinuation were primary failure in 29.7% (63.6% second aTNF vs 36.4% different MoA), secondary failure in 25.9% (64.5% second aTNF vs 35.5% different MoA) and intolerance or adverse events in 6.4% (66.6% second aTNF vs 34.4% different MoA). Adverse events were reported in 12 patients, 8 with aTNF a 4 with other MoA (2 vs 0 infusion reactions, 1 vs 1 mild infections, 2 vs 1 respiratory adverse effects, 1 vs 1 cutaneous reactions, 1 vs 0 musculoskeletal effects, 1 vs 1 neoplasia). Conclusion Our study shows that after a first aTNF failure in UC, a switch to a biological therapy with a different MoA achieves longer survival compared to switching to a second aTNF, with less primary and secondary failure.

JMIR Public Health and Surveillance 10 (January 9, 2024): e49253. http://dx.doi.org/10.2196/49253.

Full text

Abstract:

Background Driven by the accelerated aging of the population of China, the number of older adults has increased rapidly in the country. Meanwhile, following children, migrant older adults (MOA) have emerged as a vulnerable group in the process of fast urbanization. Existed studies have illustrated the association between social support and loneliness and the relationship between sleep disturbance and loneliness; however, the underlying mechanisms and the migrant-local difference in the association between social support, sleep disturbance, and loneliness have not been identified. Objective This study aimed to clarify the migrant-local difference in the relationship between social support, sleep disturbance, and loneliness in older adults in China. Methods Multistage cluster random sampling was used to select participants: 1205 older adults (n=613, 50.9%, MOA and n=592, 49.1%, local older adults [LOA]) were selected in Weifang City, China, in August 2021. Loneliness was assessed with the 6-item short-form University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale, social support was evaluated with the Social Support Rating Scale, and sleep disturbance was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The chi-square test, t test, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were adopted to explore the migrant-local difference between social support, sleep disturbance, and loneliness among the MOA and LOA. Results The mean score of loneliness was 8.58 (SD 3.03) for the MOA and 8.00 (SD 2.79) for the LOA. SEM analysis showed that social support exerts a direct negative effect on both sleep disturbance (standardized coefficient=–0.24 in the MOA and –0.20 in the LOA) and loneliness (standardized coefficient=–0.44 in the MOA and –0.40 in the LOA), while sleep disturbance generates a direct positive effect on loneliness (standardized coefficient=0.13 in the MOA and 0.22 in the LOA). Conclusions Both MOA and LOA have a low level of loneliness, but the MOA show higher loneliness than the LOA. There is a negative correlation between social support and loneliness as well as between social support and sleep disturbance among the MOA and LOA (MOA>LOA), while loneliness is positively associated with sleep disturbance in both populations (MOA<LOA). Measures should be taken by the government, society, and families to increase social support, decrease sleep disturbance, and further reduce the loneliness among older adults, especially the MOA.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The expression of the moa locus, which encodes enzymes required for molybdopterin biosynthesis, is enhanced under anaerobiosis but repressed when the bacterium is able to synthesize active molybdenum cofactor. In addition, moa expression exhibits a strong requirement for molybdate. The molybdate enhancement of moa transcription is fully dependent upon the molybdate-binding protein, ModE, which also mediates molybdate repression of the mod operon encoding the high-affinity molybdate uptake system. Due to the repression of moa in molybdenum cofactor-sufficient strains, the positive molybdate regulation of moa is revealed only in strains unable to make the active cofactor. Transcription of moa is controlled at two sigma-70-type promoters immediately upstream of the moaA gene. Deletion mutations covering the region upstream of moaA have allowed each of the promoters to be studied in isolation. The distal promoter is the site of the anaerobic enhancement which is Fnr-dependent. The molybdate induction of moa is exerted at the proximal promoter. Molybdate-ModE binds adjacent to the −35 region of this promoter, acting as a direct positive regulator of moa. The molybdenum cofactor repression also appears to act at the proximal transcriptional start site, but the mechanism remains to be established. Tungstate in the growth medium affects moaexpression in two ways. Firstly, it can act as a functional molybdate analogue for the ModE-mediated regulation. Secondly, tungstate brings about the loss of the molybdenum cofactor repression ofmoa. It is proposed that the tungsten derivative of the molybdenum cofactor, which is known to be formed under such conditions, is ineffective in bringing about repression of moa. The complex control of moa is discussed in relation to the synthesis of molybdoenzymes in the bacterium.

Abstract:

This article examines the reliability and validity of the construct, mode of acquisition (MOA). The MOA of a word denotes the way in which the word's meaning is learned. A word's meaning can be acquired perceptually, linguistically, or by some combination of both. In Experiment 1, 26 student volunteers from third year special education courses rated 566 words, taken from reading texts in elementary school, on MOA. Our findings show that MOA ratings gradually change over grades, shifting from mainly perceptually acquired word meanings in Grade 1 texts to mainly linguistically acquired concepts in Grade 6 texts. In Experiment 2, 34 educational professionals completed a list on MOA, concreteness, or imageability. Judgments on the MOA proved to be different from judgments of concreteness and imageability. We suggest that the increasingly linguistic character of word meanings contribute to explaining some of the reading difficulties of deaf children.

Abstract:

The moa (Dinornithiformes) are large to gigantic extinct terrestrial birds of New Zealand. Knowledge about niche partitioning, feeding mode and preference among moa species is limited, hampering palaeoecological reconstruction and evaluation of the impacts of their extinction on remnant native biota, or the viability of exotic species as proposed ecological ‘surrogates'. Here we apply three-dimensional finite-element analysis to compare the biomechanical performance of skulls from five of the six moa genera, and two extant ratites, to predict the range of moa feeding behaviours relative to each other and to living relatives. Mechanical performance during biting was compared using simulations of the birds clipping twigs based on muscle reconstruction of mummified moa remains. Other simulated food acquisition strategies included lateral shaking, pullback and dorsoventral movement of the skull. We found evidence for limited overlap in biomechanical performance between the extant emu ( Dromaius novaehollandiae ) and extinct upland moa ( Megalapteryx didinus ) based on similarities in mandibular stress distribution in two loading cases, but overall our findings suggest that moa species exploited their habitats in different ways, relative to both each other and extant ratites. The broad range of feeding strategies used by moa, as inferred from interspecific differences in biomechanical performance of the skull, provides insight into mechanisms that facilitated high diversities of these avian herbivores in prehistoric New Zealand.

Abstract:

Magnetic oscillation arc (MOA) technology was developed to avoid insufficient fusion defects appearing at the sidewalls in narrow gap gas tungsten arc welding (NG-GTAW). In this work, a unified model was developed to simulate the process of MOA assisted NG-GTAW. The model included the MOA, welding pool, workpiece and the coupling interaction between them. The heating characteristic of the MOA and the flow of liquid metal were simulated, and the mechanism of forming a uniform welding bead under MOA was investigated. It was found that if the magnetic flux density increased to 9 mT, the MOA could point to the sidewall directly; the maximum heat flux at the bottom declined by almost half and at the side, it increased by more than ten times. Additionally, the heat flux was no longer concentrated but dispersed along the narrow groove face. Under the effect of MOA, there were mainly two flow vortexes in the molten pool, which could further increase the heat distribution between the bottom, sidewall and corner, and was beneficial for the formation of a good-shape weld. The model was validated by experimental data.

Abstract:

Abstract Background After failure to a first aTNF agent in Crohn’s disease (CD), a second aTNF shows higher rates of failure and discontinuation. Initiating a therapy with a different mechanism of action (MoA) such as ustekinumab (UST) or vedolizumab (VDZ) could lead to a greater durability of second-line biological treatment with a higher safety profile. Methods A retrospective and multicenter study (10 hospitals in Andalusia). We included patients with active CD (Harvey-Bradsaw index >4) who had failed a first aTNF agent and started a second-line biological with other aTNF or other MoA (UST or VDZ) between July 2017 and February 2020. The aim was to evaluate the long-term durability and safety of aTNF agents compared with other MoA as a second-line biological treatment. Results 249 CD patients were included; There were no significant differences between both groups in age, sex, disease duration, location, CD behavior, perianal disease, smoking habit or concomitant corticosteroid use. Whereas there were significant differences in the proportion of patients with abdominal surgery (29.5% aTNF group vs 42.5% othermMoA, p=0.032), and concomitant immunomodulators (41.9% aTNF vs 25.8% other MoA, p=0.008). Second-line biological treatment was aTNF in 129 patients (57 IFX and 72 ADA) and other MoA in 120 (97 UST and 23 VDZ). Second aTNF was discontinued in 81/129 patients (62.8%) after a median follow-up of 21 months (mo). Whereas 24/120 patients (20%) discontinued other MoA after a median follow-up of 41mo (p< 0.001). The rate of discontinuation per patient-year of follow-up was 20.9% for aTNF and 6.7% for other MoA. The probability of maintaining aTNF or other MoA was 64.4% vs 88.3% at 12mo, 46.5% vs 81.7% at 24mo and 31% vs 80% at 36mo (p<0.001). Discontinuation rates during follow-up were 68.4% for IFX, 58.3% for ADA, 39.1% for VDZ and 15.5% for UST (p<0.001). Reasons for discontinuation were 32.4% primary non-response (63.6% aTNF and 36.4% other MoA), 51% loss of response (82.7% aTNF and 17.3% other MoA) and 16.7% intolerance or adverse events (82.3% aTNF and 17.7% other MoA). Adverse events were reported in 31/249 patients (12%), 25/31 with aTNF and 6/31 with other MoA (5 vs 0 infusion reactions, 4 vs 1 mild infections, 1 vs 0 severe infections, 10 vs 2 cutaneous injury, 2 vs 1 arthralgias and 3 vs 2 other event). Conclusion In our clinical practice, a second-line aTNF associated with significantly lower long-term drug survival compared to changing to a different MoA. Lower rates of discontinuation were observed with change to a different MoA, especially to ustekinumab. Ustekinumab and vedolizumab showed a better safety profile than infliximab or adalimumab as second-line biologic in CD.

Abstract:

Abstract. Mixed-phase clouds are frequently observed in high-latitude regions and have important impacts on the surface energy budget and regional climate. Marine organic aerosol (MOA), a natural source of aerosol emitted over ∼ 70 % of Earth's surface, may significantly modify the properties and radiative forcing of mixed-phase clouds. However, the relative importance of MOA as a source of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in comparison to mineral dust, and MOA's effects as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and INPs on mixed-phase clouds are still open questions. In this study, we implement MOA as a new aerosol species into the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 (CAM6), the atmosphere component of the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2), and allow the treatment of aerosol–cloud interactions of MOA via droplet activation and ice nucleation. CAM6 reproduces observed seasonal cycles of marine organic matter at Mace Head and Amsterdam Island when the MOA fraction of sea spray aerosol in the model is assumed to depend on sea spray biology but fails when this fraction is assumed to be constant. Model results indicate that marine INPs dominate primary ice nucleation below 400 hPa over the Southern Ocean and Arctic boundary layer, while dust INPs are more abundant elsewhere. By acting as CCN, MOA exerts a shortwave cloud forcing change of −2.78 W m−2 over the Southern Ocean in the austral summer. By acting as INPs, MOA enhances the longwave cloud forcing by 0.35 W m−2 over the Southern Ocean in the austral winter. The annual global mean net cloud forcing changes due to CCN and INPs of MOA are −0.35 and 0.016 W m−2, respectively. These findings highlight the vital importance for Earth system models to consider MOA as an important aerosol species for the interactions of biogeochemistry, hydrological cycle, and climate change.

Abstract:

The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is an economically important pest on potatoes, which can cause significant damage if not controlled. Our laboratory trial was conducted to study the efficacy of five types of inert dusts (diatomaceous earth, quartz sand, Norway spruce wood ash, zeolite, and tree of heaven leaf dust) against the CPB. Efficacy was tested using three modes of application (MoA): MoA 1, in which the used inert dusts were applied to both leaves and insects; MoA 2, where just the leaves were pre-dusted; and MoA 3, where only the pests were pre-dusted. All three modes were tested on larvae (L1/L2 and L3/L4) and adults of CPB. Among the inert dusts applied to the adults, the highest efficacy was recorded for the diatomaceous earth treatment (13.3 ± 3.3%) in the first MoA and the wood ash treatment (6.7 ± 3.3%) in the second MoA after 7 days of exposure. Defoliation results for adults were most promising in the A. altissima leaf dust treatment in the first and second MoA (45.3 ± 8.2%) after 7 days of exposure. For the old larvae, wood ash was the most promising in regards to efficacy (26.7 ± 7.3%) and defoliation (app. 70.0%) after 7 days of exposure in the third MoA. For the young larvae, the most promising results at the end of the 7-day exposure period for efficacy were obtained from the treatment of diatomaceous earth (65.7 ± 22.9%). Defoliation rates for young larvae were also high, but most promising in the treatment of A. altissima leaf dust (41.0 ± 4.2%) in the second MoA. The results showed that the inert dusts were not very effective in controlling the CPB, with the exception of wood ash and diatomaceous earth, which showed some limited control. A. altissima leaf dust generated a low defoliation rate, possibly due to an antifeedant effect on the beetles.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and relapsing disease for which the number of biological therapies available are increasing over the years. Data comparing the effectiveness of a second anti-TNFɑ (aTNF) and the switch to a different mechanism of action (MoA) such as Ustekinumab (UST), Vedolizumab (VDZ), Filgotinib or Tofacibinib (JAK) is lacking. Methods We performed a multicenter and retrospective study (6 Andalusian sites) in which patients diagnosed of UC who had failed a first biological therapy with an aTNF and started a second-line biological therapy with another aTNF or a different MoA (UST, VDZ, JAK) were included. Clinical response and remission were assessed at weeks 16 and 52. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a second-line biological therapy with aTNF compared to a different MoA after a first aTNF failure. Results 185 UC patients were included. There were no differences in the demographic data except for disease duration (9 years with MoA vs 13 years in aTNF, p=0.02). As first aTNF, infliximab (IFX) was the most common in both groups (49% MoA group, 56% second aTNF), followed by adalimumab (ADA) (48% MoA group, 33% second aTNF). In the second aTNF group, immunomodulators were significatively more used (60% vs 38%, p=0.003). There were no differences in the concomitant use of steroids. 80 patients received a different MoA (37 VDZ, 24 UST, 7 JAK) and 105 a second aTNF (34 IFX, 60 ADA, 11 golimumab). At week 16, 52% of patients were in clinical response (70% with another MoA vs 54% with second aTNF, p=0.07; IFX 65%, ADA 53%, VDZ 68%, UST 71%, JAK 74%, p=0.07), being 15.6% more likely to achieve response with another MoA. Clinical remission at week 16 was obtained by 36% (39% with another MoA vs 33% with second aTNF, p=0.6; IFX 47%, ADA 30%, VDZ 35%, UST 46%, JAK 37%, p=0.1). At week 52, 48% achieved clinical response (51% with another MoA vs 45% with second aTNF, p=0.8; IFX 50%, ADA 42%, VDZ 49%, UST 54%, JAK 53%, p=0.5) and 39% were in clinical remission (40% with another MoA vs 38% with second aTNF, p=0.53; IFX 50%, ADA 32%, VDZ 35%, UST 38%, JAK 53%; p=0.06) (figure 1). When the effectiveness is analyzed by first aTNF used, independently of the aTNF, subsequent use of a different MoA achieves better results although not significant compared to a second aTNF. Partial Mayo and calprotectin showed a significant decrease at weeks 16 and 52 in both groups. Hemoglobin and albumin levels remained similar during follow-up in both groups. Conclusion Second-line biological therapy is effective regardless of biological therapy used in UC, but switching to a different MoA tend to achieve better results in terms of clinical response and remission compared to a second aTNF.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The finite-size effect in gravitational microlensing provides a possibility to measure the limb darkening of distant stars. We use the Finite Element Method (FEM) as an inversion tool for discretization and inversion of the magnification–limb darkening integral equation. This method makes no explicit assumption about the shape of the brightness profile more than the flatness of the profile near the centre of the stellar disc. From the simulation, we investigate the accuracy and stability of this method and we use regularization techniques to stabilize it. Finally, we apply this method to the single lens, high-magnification transit events of OGLE-2004-BLG-254 (SAAO-I), MOA-2007-BLG-233/OGLE-2007-BLG-302 (OGLE-I, MOA-R), MOA-2010-BLG-436 (MOA-R), MOA-2011-BLG-93 (Canopus-V), MOA-2011-BLG-300/OGLE-2011-BLG-0990 (Pico-I), and MOA-2011-BLG-325/OGLE-2011-BLG-1101 (LT-I) in which light curves have been observed with a high cadence near the peak (Choi et al. 2012). The recovered intensity profile of stars from our analysis for five light curves is consistent with the linear and square-root limb darkening profiles and two events with the square-root profile. The advantage of FEM is to extract limb darkening of stars without any assumption about the limb darkening model.

Abstract:

Although whole-organism HTS can give clear indications of in vivo activity, typically few clues are given as to the mechanism of action (MOA), and determining the MOA for large numbers of active compounds can be costly and complex—an alternative approach is required. This report demonstrates that it is possible to conduct relatively high throughput MOA characterization of HTS hits utilizing a single sample preparation and analytical method. By monitoring a wide range of endogenous cellular metabolites via 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the MOA of herbicides can be predicted using computational methods to compare the metabolite perturbation patterns. Herbicides that induce a characteristic pattern of metabolic perturbation in maize include inhibitors of acetolactate synthase, acetyl co-enzyme A carboxylase, protoporphyrinogen oxidase, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, and phytoene desaturase. In soya, photosystem II inhibitors can also be detected, further demonstrating that this method is not limited to inhibitors of enzymes that directly act upon endogenous metabolites, or a single species. The methods, including data analysis, can be readily automated, enabling relatively high throughput MOA elucidation of whole-organism screen hits. Additionally, for compounds with a novel MOA, this approach may lead to MOA identification faster than traditional metods. It is envisaged that application of these data analysis methods to other data types—for example, transcription (mRNA) or translation (protein) profilesis likely to permit higher throughput with smaller sample requirements, along with ability to discriminate MOAs that are not adequately discriminated based upon endogenous metabolite profiles.

A crucial factor of the insulation strength in EHV & UHV power system is switching over-voltage, which was simulated and calculated respectively for power system of 500kV, 750kV and 1000kV in EMTP-ATP software. The calculation results show that for the 500kV power system, the both sides of which having MOA could limit the closing and reclosing over-voltage under 1.87p.u after eliminating closing resistors, and the maximal energy absorbed by MOA is 365kJ; for the 750kV power system with three arresters, after eliminating closing resistors, the switching over-voltage could be suppressed to 1.65p.u, and the maximal energy absorbed by MOA is 3360kJ; For the 1000kV power system, according to the simulation and calculation, it would be better rely on closing resistors and MOA together to limit the switching over-voltage, provided four arresters were installed along the lines, over-voltage can be suppressed to 1.34p.u., and the energy absorbed by MOA is far less than the maximal capacity of energy.

Associations between anxiety disorder/depression and MA/MoA were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis. Depression (DEP) [odds ratio (OR) 1.7; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2, 2.6] and depression with comorbid anxiety disorder (COM) (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.2, 2.1) were more likely in women having MA than in those with MoA. No stronger association was found for pure anxiety disorder (ANX) in MA vs. MoA (OR 0.9; 95% CI 0.7, 1.5). Among men, we found no difference in prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders between MA and MoA. This is a new finding that might have relevance for both research and clinical treatment.

Abstract:

Purpose: Debate exists over optimal treatment for acute Achilles tendon ruptures. Recent literature suggests the mini-open technique may provide the reliability of the open repair with the decreased complication rate of non-operative treatment. This retrospective review compares acute tendon ruptures treated with one of two techniques: open repair (TO) or mini-open repair (MOA). Methods & Results: Records were reviewed and 34 patients were found to meet the inclusion criteria for open or mini-open repair of an acute Achilles tendon rupture with follow up of at least 12 months. TO (n=16) and MOA (n=18) had no statistically significant differences in age at time of injury [TO: 41 + 2.5 years (range 20 – 68); MOA: 46 + 2.5 years (range 33 – 73)] or time between injury and surgical repair [TO: 15 + 2 days (range 2 – 30); MOA: 15 + 2 days (range 2 – 30)]. Post-operative VISA-A scores were 82 + 10 (range 42 – 98) and 92 + 5 (range 66 – 100) for TO and MOA, respectively. Significant differences were found in the time between surgical intervention and beginning of rehabilitation [TO: Post op day 37 + 5 (range 21 – 46); MOA: Post op day 19 + 2 (range 7 – 32)] and the time between surgical intervention and full return to activity [TO: Post op month 7 + 1 (range 4 – 11); MOA: Post op month 5 + 0.6 (range 4 – 11)]. Conclusion: These results suggest that the mini-open repair provides acceptable surgical outcomes while optimizing patient function after Achilles tendon repair. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level III: Retrospective Comparative

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: This paper identifies core elements in principal definitions of elder abuse or mistreatment of older adults (EA/MOA) and discusses the relevance of four crucial concepts: age, vulnerability, trust, and power balance in relationships.Method: A critical analysis of selected literature in EA/MOA with a focus on works from the last 10 years.Results: Current definitions of EA/MOA share commonalities regarding an understanding of elder abuse as a status offence, the inclusion of both acts and omissions, and the consideration of multiple levels of behavior and its effects. Definitions differ with regard to aspects as crucial as the intentionality of an abusive action and its actual or potential harmful effects. EA/MOA can be considered as a complex subtype of victimization in later life limited to victim–perpetrator relationships, where the perpetrator has assumed responsibility for the victim, the victim puts trust in the offender, or the role assigned to the offending person creates the perception and expectation that the victim may trust the perpetrator. Vulnerability is identified as a key variable in EA/MOA theory and research. With regard to neglect, the mere possibility of being neglected presupposes a heightened level of vulnerability. Power imbalance often characterizes victim – perpetrator relationships but is not a necessary characteristic of abuse.Conclusion: Research on EA/MOA needs conceptual development. Confining phenomena of EA/MOA to specific relationships and tying them to notions of vulnerability has implications for research design and sampling and points to the limits of population-based victimization surveys.
