The Sandawe language is spoken in the Kondoa district of central Tanzania by approximately 40,000 people. Sandawe has been widely assumed to be a member of the Khoisan language family, but recent research has cast doubt on the position that such a family exists (Güldemann & Vossen 2000). The Sandawe language can be divided into an eastern variety and a western variety. The differences between these two varieties are slight and gradual. The orthography used in the following description was decided upon in 2002 by a group of Sandawe speakers representing different parts of the language area. Early research on Sandawe phonetics and phonology was undertaken by Dempwolff (1916) and Copland (1938). More recent studies are found in Tucker & Bryan (1977), Elderkin (1989, 1992), Wright, Maddieson, Ladefoged & Sands (1995), Maddieson, Ladefoged & Sands (1999) and Hunziker, Hunziker & Eaton (2005).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Patients with lymphoid malignancies are at increased risk of death due to COVID19. Currently, it is not completely clear whether this is mainly due to disease biology or to anti-lymphoma treatment and whether the prognosis of infection differs in patients treated with different therapies. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies increase the risk of prolonged infection. It is not known whether this risk is affected by the choice of the antibody. To study these questions, KroHem collected data on patients with lymphoid malignancies diagnosed with COVID19 between October 2020 and April 2021. Death during infection was considered as due to COVID19. Patients were considered to have prolonged disease if they were continuously or repetitively positive by PCR for more than 6 weeks. Percentage of patients with prolonged disease was calculated based on the number of patients with available data who were alive 6 weeks after beginning of infection. Treatment regimens were divided into those containing purine analogues (PA), mainly bendamustine and fludarabine, standard-dose chemotherapy without PA (e.g. CHOP, CVP, chlorambucil, etc.), high-dose chemotherapy without PA (e.g. DHAP, ICE, etc.), B-cell receptor inhibitors (iBCR) and venetoclax. We identified 314 patients, 20-88 years old (median 66), 180 male and 134 female; 75 were untreated, 61 off treatment and 178 on treatment (Table). Eleven (15%) untreated patients died; 10% had prolonged infection none of whom died. Ten (16%) off-treatment patients died; 9% had prolonged infection none of whom died. In the on-treatment group 6 (3%) are still prolonged positive, 110 (62%) recovered and 62 (35%) died; 42% had prolonged infection of whom 47% recovered and 42% died. The single allografted patient died as did both patients treated with CAR-T cells after prolonged infection. We analyzed prognostic factors for lethal and prolonged infection in the 175 conventionally treated patients. Disease type, use of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, prior autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and line of treatment did not significantly affect mortality. Mortality was higher in older (p=0.0078) and those treated with PA in comparison to standard-dose chemotherapy without PA and iBCR (47% vs. 26%, p=0.012). The effect of anti-lymphoma therapy on mortality was similar in all age groups. All of the 7 patients who received neither cytotoxic agents nor iBCR (4 were on rituximab monotherapy, 2 on cyclosporine and 1 on vemurafenib) recovered, none had prolonged infection. Prolonged COVID19 was significantly more frequent in patients treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (p=0.012), especially obinutuzumab (67% in comparison to 42% in those treated with rituximab and 21% in those treated without anti-CD20 antibodies). Treatment with PA also increased the risk of prolonged disease (69% vs. 25-45% in other groups, p=0.012). The effect of PA on prolonged infection was similar in patients treated with rituximab and obinutuzumab. Age, prior ASCT and treatment line did not significantly affect risk of prolonged infection. Our data suggest that the type of anti-lymphoma therapy is, besides age, a main determinant of prognosis of COVID19 in patients with lymphoid malignancies. Use of purine analogues, such as bendamustine and fludarabine, is related to increased risk of lethal and/or prolonged COVID19. These drugs should probably be avoided in patients with indolent NHL and CLL, diseases for whom other effective treatments are available, during the current pandemia. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies seem to have a smaller effect on mortality, with obinutuzumab increasing the risk of prolonged disease, but not of death, in comparison to rituximab.

Polymerase gamma is a mitochondrial DNA polymerase, that is responsible for the replication of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It is encoded by the POLG gene, on chromosome 15q25. Various mutations in this gene have been described, with varied phenotypic manifestations. The triad of sensory ataxic neuropathy, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO) has been reported only in a small group of patients with POLG mutations. We report the case of a male, who presented with phenotype of SANDO syndrome and and was found to have two pathogenic, heterozygous mutations in the POLG gene.

Full textAbstract:
In the Kokanee Range, more than 370 Ag–Pb–Zn–Au vein and replacement deposits are hosted by the Middle Jurassic Nelson batholith and surrounding Cambrian to Triassic metasedimentary rocks. The Kokanee Range forms the hanging wall of the Slocan Lake Fault, an Eocene, east-dipping, low-angle normal fault. The Pb isotopic compositions of galenas permit the deposits to be divided into four groups that form linear arrays in tridimensional Pb isotopic space, each group having a distinct geographic distribution that crosses geological boundaries. The Kokanee group Pb is derived from a mixture of local upper crustal country rocks. Ainsworth group Pb and Sandon group Pb plot along a mixing line between a lower crustal Pb reservoir and the upper crustal Pb reservoir. The Ainsworth group Pb isotopic signature is markedly lower crustal, whereas the Sandon group Pb is slightly lower crustal. The Bluebell group Pb plots along a mixing line between a depleted upper mantle Pb reservoir and the lower crustal Pb reservoir.The geographic distribution and the Pb isotopic composition of each group probably reflect deep structures that permitted mixing of lower crustal, upper crustal, and mantle Pb by hydrothermal fluids. Segments of, or fluids derived from, the lower crust and the upper mantle were leached by, or mixed with, evolved meteoric water convecting in the upper crust. Fracture permeability, hydrothermal fluid flow, and mineralization resulted from Eocene crustal extension in southeastern British Columbia.

Full textAbstract:
This notice is the fifth in a series recording the transfer of fossils described by Rousseau H. Flower (1913-1988) to the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. National Museum. During a long, productive, and colorful career, Rousseau described more than 400 new fossil taxa (Wolberg, 1988). Most of Rousseau's fossils have been maintained in the collections of the New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources. The fossils in this transfer were sent to Rousseau in 1952 by William J. Sando, then a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, who collected them during his research on the Beekmantown Group of Maryland (Sando, 1957). In 1955, Rousseau submitted a manuscript to theJournal of Paleontologyand this was published in 1956. Some controversy seems to have surrounded the publication of the paper; we have found a file of correspondence related to that publication and it is very “Roweresque” in content. In addition, Rousseau cataloged the Sando fossils into the NMBM&MR's collection, but from the associated correspondence there seems to be little doubt but that the collection was intended to be reposited in the Smithsonian.

Full textAbstract:
Grouting techniques have been in used for many years, but several new grout materials have surfaced in recent decades that have re-defined the boundaries of the limitations of grouting programs. Typically these applications are used for seepage control in earthen impoundments, but strength of these earthen impoundments should be considered where there is potential for movement in the grouted soil mass. This study investigated initial conditions that could affect grout application effectiveness. The initial conditions in question were soil grain size and in situ moisture content. Two grouts were used, ultrafine and acrylate, and variations in pure grout properties were studied. An apparatus was developed so that a uniform grout could penetrate the pore spaces of a soil specimen. The rate of penetration of the grout into the soil was studied. The unconfined compressive strength of the resulting grouted soil was then analyzed.
In testing neat ultrafine grout, it was shown that increased water-to-cement ratios had negative effects on the stability of the grout. Increasing the water-to-cement ratio from 0.5 to 2.5 resulted in a decrease in strength by a factor of 100. An inhibitor chemical was used to increase the time for reaction in the acrylate grout. During the chemical reaction, the curing temperature and gel times were monitored. A grout mix was selected for the acrylate grout that achieved appropriate gel times. In general, this study found that the grout penetrations rates into the soil increased as the initial moisture was increased from dry conditions to a gravimetric moisture content of nine percent. In each study, increased initial moisture decreased the grouted soil strength, with decreases in strength exceeding 50 percent. Empirical relationships were realized when compared to the initial matric suction of the soil. This suggests initial matric suction may be a useful initial condition for estimating increases in soil strength upon implementation of a grouting program for both the acrylate and ultrafine grouts.

Full textAbstract:
O efeito de instalação de estacas cravadas em areia, que promove um aumento da compacidade do solo e de seus parâmetros de resistência e deformabilidade, é analisado nesta dissertação em conjunto com o efeito de grupo. O procedimento estabelecido objetiva quantificar a melhoria após a instalação de um grupo de estacas e foi desenvolvido nesta pesquisa a partir da contribuição de Alves (1998). Para a utilização deste procedimento, foram propostas correlações do módulo de Young do solo em função da resistência à penetração NSPT (ou da resistência à penetração normalizada N60), a partir de um banco de dados obtido da literatura, visando não apenas as aplicações implementadas neste estudo, como também nortear futuras aplicações práticas. Na análise de casos documentados da literatura, foi utilizado o programa Plaxis 3D Foundation. Inicialmente foi procedida a calibração do programa através da reprodução de um caso de instrumentação de um grupo de estacas na argila rija de Londres, muito bem documentado por Cooke et al. (1980). Os resultados das simulações, com parâmetros do solo obtidos da literatura, se ajustaram muito bem aos resultados experimentais, seja nos valores de recalque, seja nos diagramas de transferência de carga. Posteriormente, a melhoria do solo por efeito da instalação foi estimada, através do procedimento estabelecido nesta dissertação, baseado em Alves (1998), a partir das características iniciais do solo antes da instalação de um grupo de estacas em modelo reduzido em solo arenoso. Obtidos os parâmetros melhorados previstos para o solo após a instalação, estes foram aplicados a um grupo de 9 estacas, para diferentes espaçamentos relativos, como dados de entrada no programa Plaxis. A comparação dos resultados experimentais com aqueles simulados numericamente sinaliza para o potencial tanto do programa Plaxis, na reprodução do comportamento do conjunto, como do modelo de Alves (1998), que norteou o procedimento proposto nesta pesquisa. O fator de escala, ressaltado na dissertação, bem como outros aspectos relevantes observados nas análises realizadas, são propostos como temas futuros a serem investigados na continuidade desta linha de pesquisa.The installation effect of piles driven in sand, which increases soill density, strength and deformability parameters, is analyzed in this research, together with the pile-group effect. The procedure has been established aiming at the soil improvement achieved after installation of the piles. The proposed procedure is based on Alves (1998). In order to apply the procedure, correlations between the soil Young modulus and the NSPT blow count (or the normalized N60) have been established from a database obtained in the literature, aiming not only at the applications implemented in this study but also as a guideline for future practical applications. The program Plaxis 3D Foundation has been used in the analysis of documented cases from the literature, as an initial step to implement the procedure proposed in this thesis. Initially, the program has been calibrated by application to a well-documented piling group in the London stiff clay by Cooke et al. (1980). The results of the numerical simulations with soil parameters obtained from the literature have been very close to the experimental values, not only for the settlements, but also for the load transfer diagrams. The soil improvement due to pile installation has been implemented in this thesis based on Alves (1998). It has been applied to a case of small-scale model piling group in sands, taking into consideration the initial characteristics of the soil before installation and the soil improvement after driving. The updated parameters, together with different pile spacing in the 9-pile group, have been entered as input in the program Plaxis 3D Foundation. The comparison of the experimental results with those numerically simulated shows the potentiality of Plaxis program, due to its ability to properly reproduce the piling group behavior, and also of the model by Alves (1998), which guided the soil improvement procedure proposed in this research. The scale factor, highlighted in the thesis, as well as other relevant factors observed in the analyses, are topics for further investigation in continuity of this research.

Cette thèse qui s'inscrit dans le domaine de la sociolinguistique/didactique et qui traite de la vitalité des langues à partir des représentations linguistiques des élèves et enseignants, tente de résoudre le problème de la politique linguistique éducative en général et de l'appropriation du français mise à rude épreuve ces deux dernières décennies en particulier. Au niveau de la politique linguistique, des réflexions ont été portées sur les langues et sur la langue en vue de la mise en place des différentes structures capables de promouvoir un bilinguisme harmonieux et efficace entre le sango et le français. Au niveau de la politique éducative, cette étude a le mérite d'avoir jeté les bases des principes des didactiques des langues contextualisées à travers quelques orientations pouvant servir à la refondation de l'école centrafricaine, à la formation des enseignants de français, à l'approche plurielle des langues et des cultures, à la diversification des supports pédagogiques et à l'évaluation des apprentissages. Au-delà de ces contributions qui aideront à la révision des curricula de français, la thèse s'ouvre sur des pistes de recherche portant sur l'évaluation des institutions éducatives, la rédaction des programmes d'enseignement et la mise en place d'un cadre juridique pouvant présider à l'appropriation des langues, notamment du français, matière et médium d'enseignementThis thesis, which is within the framework of sociolinguistics/didactics and which deals with language vitality through the linguistic representations of students and teachers, tries to cope with the issue of educational language policy, in general, and the appropriation of French, a language jeopardized over the last two decades, in particular. In terms of linguistics policy, studies were carried out on languages and language for setting up different structures to promote a smooth and efficient bilingualism between French and Sango. In terms of educational policy, this study has the merit of laying the foundation of the principles of conceptualized language teaching through guidelines that can be used in rebuilding the Central African school, the training of French teachers, the pluralistic approach to languages and cultures, the diversification of educational materials and the assessment of learning. Beyond these contributions that will help in reviewing French curricula, the thesis opens avenues for research on the evaluation of educational institutions, the drafting of teaching curricula and the setup of a legal framework for the appropriation of languages, including French, a teaching matter and medium

Full textAbstract:
This item is only available electronically.The Bunger Hills and adjacent areas of Wilkes Land and Queen Mary Land occupy the very western periphery of the Musgrave–Albany–Fraser Orogen, and represent one of the few exposures within east Antarctica with direct correlations to Australian constituent terrains of this continental-scale system. U–Pb analyses of detrital zircons from volcano–sedimentary moraine sediments of the Bunger Hills yield concordant 206Pb/238U ages ranging from ca. 1364 Ma to ca. 1040 Ma (n = 842), with a main late Mesoproterozoic magmatic zircon population clustered at ca. 1179–1161 Ma. Strong parallels with the time profile of in-situ rocks from the Stage 2 Albany–Fraser Orogen (AFO), the Bunger Hills and Windmill Islands, suggest these were the likely provenances for the associated moraine detritus. The Bunger Hills lie downstream from outcrops of the geographically inaccessible Sandow Group, which comprises clastic and mafic volcanoclastic rocks. It is interpreted that the sedimentary moraine materials of the Bunger Hills were derived from the glacial erosion of the Sandow Group supracrustal successions. The lithological character, sedimentary fill pattern and advanced diagenesis suggest that the Sandow Group formed within an active intra-continental rift-basin and represents the upper-crustal expression of extensional tectonism. Reconnaissance U–Pb geochronology of authigenic titanite suggests basin development occurred close to or within the time frame of the high-grade metamorphism recorded in the Bunger Hills. Therefore basin development was probably directly associated with the second major thermo–tectonic phase of the AFO (Stage 2; ca. 1215–1140 Ma). Due to the essentially non-metamorphosed volcano–sedimentary nature of the detritus in the sedimentary rocks, it seems likely that the evolving Mesoproterozoic orogenic system was not deeply exhumed during basin development.

Full textAbstract:
In a time of accelerating sea level rise and increasingly intensifying storms, the world’s sandy beaches and dunes have never been more crucial to protecting coastal environments. Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States. They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for not only saving beaches, dunes, and associated environments but also lives and tourism economies everywhere.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides ethnographic interpretations of the performances of the three-day-long (January 6–8) Festival in Santo Domingo de Ónzole. The principal activity on January 6 is the act of the president, which involves two groups of disguised actors. The first is the group of cucuruchos. They number about twenty and include the women of the committee who prepared the Play. The second protagonist of the act is the group composed of a dozen adolescents and young men who are disguised as soldiers and called “the troop” (la tropa). The principal activity of January 7 is the begging performance by cucuruchos going from house to house, which evokes the descriptions of European medieval carnival. January 8 is dedicated to the negritos and the cayapas, although some reyeras disguised as whites are still participating in the activities. January 8 is also called el día de todos, “the day of everybody.”

Full textAbstract:
Vagueness is currently the subject of vigorous debate in the philosophy of logic and language. Vague terms-such as "tall", "red", "bald", and "tadpole"—have borderline cases (arguably, someone may be neither tall nor not tall); and they lack well-defined extensions (there is no sharp boundary between tall people and the rest). The phenomenon of vagueness poses a fundamental challenge to classical logic and semantics, which assumes that propositions are either true or false and that extensions are determinate. Another striking problem to which vagueness gives rise is the sorites paradox. If you remove one grain from a heap of sand, surely you must be left with a heap. Yet apply this principle repeatedly as you remove grains one by one, and you end up, absurdly, with a solitary grain that counts as a heap. This anthology collects papers in the field. After an introduction that surveys the field, the essays form four groups, starting with some historically notable pieces. The 1970s saw an explosion of interest in vagueness, and the second group of essays reprints classic papers from this period. The following group of papers represent current work on the logic and semantics of vagueness. The essays in the final group are contributions to the continuing debate about vague objects and vague identity. Bradford Books imprint

Full textAbstract:
The premise of the contributions to this book is to conceive languages, groups and belonging in terms of social, symbolic and spatial boundaries. In language contact situations especially, linguistic and social inequalities deeply interconnect with shifting boundary formations that can promote or impede the political, social and linguistic recognition of minorities. This book offers a culturally and linguistically informed approach to border and boundary studies using conversation analysis, ethnography and studies of linguistic landscapes in language contact situations in the Romance world. The book promotes plurilingualism as an epistemological given and thus advocates a future of complex social and linguistic diversity.

Full textAbstract:
The Australian Soil Classification provides a framework for organising knowledge about Australian soils by allocating soils to classes via a key. Since its publication in 1996, this book has been widely adopted and formally endorsed as the official national system. It has provided a means of communication among scientists and land managers and has proven to be of particular value in land resource survey and research programs, environmental studies and education.
Classification is a basic requirement of all science and needs to be periodically revised as knowledge increases. This third edition of The Australian Soil Classification includes updates from a working group of the National Committee on Soil and Terrain (NCST). The main change in this edition accommodates new knowledge and understanding of the significance, nature, distribution and refined testing for soils comprising deep sands, leading to the inclusion of a new Order, the Arenosols. The introduction of the Arenosols Order led to a review and changes to Calcarosols, Tenosols and Rudosols.
The Australian Soil Classification is Volume 4 in the Australian Soil and Land Survey Handbooks Series.

Full textAbstract:
For decades, market, communication and advertising impact research has provided important insights for the economy as well as for advertising and media agencies. This book contains a compact overview of the different methods used in research into both communication and the effect of advertising. In the book’s individual chapters, these methods are described in detail, their respective advantages and disadvantages explained, concrete examples of their application in market, advertising impact and communication research are shown in practice and a conclusion is drawn about each respective method. This anthology focuses on qualitative methods, such as focus groups, the laddering technique, qualitative image interpretation and the Think Aloud method. This analysis is supplemented by a look at various apparatus and projective methods, activation measurement, Google Analytics, wearables, image measurement and conjoint analysis, while the conclusion provides an overview of Austrian media studies.

Organoids are developed from stem cells and serve as three-dimensional model systems for different organs. They have great potential for research and medicine, but also raise philosophical, ethical and legal questions which have rarely been discussed in Germany so far. This thematic study by the interdisciplinary research group (IAG) Gene Technology Report at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities offers an overview of current scientific developments, their present and potential application, as well as epistemological, ethical and legal reflections. Hereby, the IAG wants to provide impetus for an interdisciplinary and society-wide debate on this general subject. With contributions by Cantas Alev, Aileen-Diane Bamford, Sina Bartfeld, Andreia S.

Abstract In this chapter, Perianes and Kissling examine informal interviews about menopause experiences and discourse conducted among participants in four nations: British-Iranian Shardi Nahavandi interviewed her Persian mother; Swetha Sridhar interviewed her mother and grandmother, all currently from different regions of India; Ursula Maschette Santos spoke with three women from her community in São Paulo, Brazil; and Jennifer Poole conducted a focus group discussion with 17 participants of the NGO Medical Services Pacific in Fiji, which included six men. Noting that each nation and community has its own norms and traditions, the authors find common themes of ambivalence around aging, community silence about menopause, and insufficient education or preparation for the menopause transition.

AbstractShoreline erosion, flood surges, river sediments, and water pollution are only a few of the common threats to many coastal areas, with extreme climate-related events exacerbating the intensity and urgency of the resulting negative impacts. In addition, some coastal areas are excessively mined for sand, protective mangroves are destroyed, and coastal waters are overfished, affecting the well-being, safety, and livelihoods of local communities. These threats disproportionally affect the poorest and most marginalized groups, including women and children, leading to their increased vulnerability to climate change and adoption of negative coping mechanisms.This chapter proposes an integrated people-centered approach, with a particular focus on women, to address the triple crisis – poverty, climate change, and nature – at the local level. Findings will be shared from a 2-year project implemented in the southernmost coastal region of Kwale County in Kenya, which aimed to achieve beneficial and interconnected social, environmental, and climate outcomes. The chapter discusses findings, successes, and lessons learned from the action and the requirement to position vulnerable groups at the center of initiatives designed to address the triple crisis. Limitations of the study and main recommendations for future programming in similar contexts are also shared.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid improvement and wide application of network technology and the maturity of network tools, the network course platform has become a popular direction of teaching research in colleges and universities. The purpose of the psychological sand table online course is to enable students to achieve self-catharsis, release pressure and reflect self-growth through sand table and sand tools. The research purpose of this paper is to design the network platform of psychological sandbox course based on data mining. In the experiment, the sandplay course designed a 12-hour course corresponding to the mental health education course. Taking the students of Class 1 and Class 2 of the psychology education major of Wuyi University in Fujian Province as the research object, a questionnaire survey and an independent sample T test were carried out on the class. Therefore, the group psychological sandplay game course in colleges and universities is carried out, and the evaluation of the implementation effect of the psychological sandplay course network platform is studied in the experiment.

Full textAbstract:
From the time of privately hosted computer bulletin boards to the rise of social networking, USENET hosted a broad array of newsgroups that hobbyists enjoyed. At The Sandbox group for collectors of 1:6 scale GI Joe toys, members developed a set of conventions governing an online community without moderation, countered trolls, and established reputations for fairness among members using pseudonyms. In time, however, these conventions began to weaken as the hobby waned in popularity. Eventually, The Sandbox at USENET came to an end as a vital community, and a diaspora to Facebook and privately hosted, moderated forums followed. This chapter studies how the USENET community worked socially, how its language evolved, and its fate when what the author calls “the Old Internet” gave way to today’s array of social-networking and multimedia applications.

A low molecular weight heparin (LMWH, Sandoz), a standard heparin (SH, LiqueminR) and ancrod (Arvin^)have been compared in an extracorporeal veno-venous bypass for CO2 removal using a membrane lung in dogs. Four animals received 150 anti-FXa U/kg in bolus followed 90 min later by 40 anti-FXa U/kg/h of LMWH and four other 300 IU/kg followed by 100 IU/kg/h of SH. Six dogs received 1 U/Kg of ancrod intravenously during 2 h before bypass started.Mean FXa inhibition was 49% in LMWH group and 29% in SH group, mean FI la inhibition 31% and 49% respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between LMWH and SH groups for any of the parameters measured (fibrinogen, FV, antithrombin III, plasminogen, α 2-anti piasmin, platelet counts). At the end of bypass 5000 U protamine abolished both anti-FXa and anti-FIIa activities in SH group, but failed to neutralize more than half of anti-FXa in LMWH group. In ancrod group no clottable fibrinogen was detectable. A dramatic fall of α2-antiplasmin was observed after ancrod infusion and, during bypass, sharp decreases in FV and platelet counts without significant antithrombin III and plasminogen consumption were noted.No bleeding occurred in any group throughout the seven hours of bypass. The main finding was fibrin deposition in the tubing in three out of four dogs receiving LMWH, whereas no fibrin deposition occurred either in SH or in ancrod group.These results suggest that in this model which involves blood contact with artificial surfaces (1) SH and ancrod are efficient to prevent clotting, but not the LMWH used at the dosage reported (2) high anti-FIIa activities are required to prevent fibrin formation (3) ancrod defibrination does not protect against severe haemostatic disturbances and (4) the use of LMWH may raise problems when emergency neutralisation procedures are required.

Full textAbstract:
Low molecular weight (LMW) heparin has been proven effectively and safely at low doses with one injection per day in the postoperative medicine. This hasnot been confirmed so far in general medical patients requiring prophylaxis of thromboembolism. We report here of the results of a double blinded prospective randomized trial with normal and LMW heparin.Two hundred patients were included into the study after having given informed consent. They received 3 × 5.000 units sodium pig intestinal mucosa heparin (MW12.000) or 1 × 1.500 aPTT units (MW 3.800, Sandoz AG, Niimberg, FRG) for 10 days. The development of thromboses was screened by clinical investigation, impedance plethysmography and Doppler sonography of the femoral vein at days 1,3,5,7 and 10. The incidence of haemorrhage was assessed by clinical examination, hemoglobin and hematuria at the same time intervals and factor Xa inhibition, aPTT, thrombin inhibition, antithrombin III and thrombocyte count were measured.The following incidences occuredin the heparin / LMW heparin treated groups: clinically evident thrombosis 4 / 3 (phlebography being indicated only in 1 patient of the LMW heparin group and documenting freshthrombosis), pulmonary embolism 0 / 0, local allergy1 / 0, fatal bleeding complication 2 / 0, mortality 2 / 3 (mortality was not due to thromboembolism or treatment related complications in the LMW heparin group, one patient being antopsied). Local hematomas were 3 times more frequent in the heparin group (p <0,05).It is concluded that one daily injection of low doses of LMW heparin is as effective as normal heparin in preventing thromboembolism in hospitalized patients in general medicine.

"Characteristic of Tuwayil Formation and New Insight into its Contribution in Middle Cretaceous Petroleum System, Western UAE." In Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/207521-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract In Western UAE, the Middle Cretaceous petroleum system is composed of Shilaif source, Mishrif/Tuwayil reservoir and Tuwayil/Ruwaydha seal. Oil is discovered in Tuwayil sandstone in DH and NN fields. Well correlation of Tuwayil siliciclastic interval shows high heterogeneity and rapid lithology varies. Currently, a few general studies about Tuwayil sandstone was published. However, detailed sedimentary facies, reservoir characteristics and accumulation mechanism about Tuwayil are ambiguous. Limitation on these aspects prohibits enlarging exploration activity of Tuwayil and makes barriers to deepen understanding of the whole K2 PS. To enhance understanding on Tuwayil formation, well data in DH, NN fields and adjacent area was integrated. Dedicated single well analysis, well correlation and petrophysics study were carried out. Cores were observed and laboratory outcomes including TS, SEM, RCA, MICP, XRD were adopted into this study. Furthermore, we have also utilized 2D&3D seismic to illustrate the spatial distribution of Tuwayil siliciclastic setting and interior sediment pattern. Basically, the Tuwayil sand-shale interval represents the infilling of Mishrif/Shilaif intrashelf basin and mainly deposits in the tidal flat-delta facies. The epi-continental clast is sourced from the Arabian shield and transferred from west to east. In Western UAE, the Tuwayil depocenter located in DH field, where 4-5 sand layers deposit with net pay of 30-40ft. In NN field, only one sand layer develops with net pay about 4-6ft. Through deposition cycles identification and seismic reflection observation, two sand groups could be recognized in this interval. The lower group is constrained in the depocenter and influenced by the paleo-geomorphology background. The upper group overpassed the former set and pinched out around north of NN. The Mishrif/Shilaif slope area is another potential belt to enlarge Tuwayil discovery, where stratigraphic onlap could be observed and it probably represents the sand pinch-out in lower sand group. For the K2 PS, previous study believed the shale between Tuwayil sand and Mishrif separate these two reservoirs and works as cap rock for Mishrif grainstone. This study suggests that this shale is too thin and not continuous enough to hold the hydrocarbon in Mishrif. On that note, Tuwayil sand and Mishrif belong to the same petroleum system in NN and may have the same OWC. In the NN field, it is quite crucial to consider the extension of Tuwayil sand during evaluating the stratigraphic prospect of Mishrif because the hydrocarbon is mostly likely charged Tuwayil sand first and then gets into underlain Mishrif. This study provides updates and understandings on sedimentary facies, depositional pattern, hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism, reservoir extension and potential identification of Tuwayil formation, which has inspiring implications for the whole K2 PS and could also de-risk the further exploration activity in Western UAE.

Background: Down Syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality with an incidence of 1:700 live births. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects almost all of these individuals from the age of 30, whose susceptibility is on the rise with increasing life expectancy. However, interventions can limit or improve cognitive decline. Objectives: To compare early interventions in the prevention of AD in patients with DS. Methods: Randomized Controlled Trial published in English, in the last 5 years, in humans, at PUBMED. Were included studies involving participants over 18 years old, diagnosed with DS and those with unclear interventions were excluded. Six articles were found and after applying the criteria, two studies were part of this review. The PRISMA scale was used. Results: Ptomey et al. (2018) intervened with online exercise, selecting 27 participants divided into two groups: A) one session/week; B) two sessions/ week. After 12 weeks it was observed that group B showed improvement in learning compared to group A. Sano et al. (2016) performed an intervention with Vitamin E (VE) for three years in 337 individuals, segregated in: A) 1,000 IU, orally, twice/day; B) placebo. There was no significant difference in the progression of cognitive, functional, behavioral and clinical deterioration between the groups. Conclusions: The practice of physical exercise proved to be promising in the prevention of AD, however the use of VE did not show significant results. Further studies on the subject are needed.

Full textAbstract:
The Gulf of Kalamita is located in the Black Sea off the west coast of the Crimea and is known to be a major recreational area. However, in the last 30 years, its famous sandy beaches have drastically degraded. Degradation of sandy beaches was expressed in erosion of the coastal line (30-70 m) and reduction of the total area of beaches; disappearance of sand in a number of ar-eas in the near-shore zone and openings of marl; sharp increase of fragments of limestone in the composition of beaches. In the last 60 years, the level of the Black Sea has risen by 14 cm. Only this factor, as the calculations show, has caused about 15 mln m3 deficiency of deposits. Accord-ing to direct observations, shoreline response to changes in the sea level at the inter-annual scale changes comproses 0,3 m per 1 cm. Climate changes in trajectories of passing cyclones have resulted in a 2-3 times increase in storm activity over the past 30 years. The contribution of natural factors into the shoreline changes do not exceed 10-15% according to our estimates. The main contribution is related to the background and point anthropogenic impacts. The first group includes overall reduction of sediment in the sea due to construction of reservoirs, cliffs closing with concrete embankments, reducing populations of benthic mollusks for various rea-sons, etc. The second group includes construction of hydraulic structures which do not address lithodynamics peculiarities in particular stretches of coastline.

Vegetation classification at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Mojave National Preserve, Castle Mountains National Monument, and Death Valley National Park: Final report (Revised with Cost Estimate). National Park Service, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2279201.
Full textAbstract:
Vegetation inventory and mapping is a process to document the composition, distribution and abundance of vegetation types across the landscape. The National Park Service’s (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program has determined vegetation inventory and mapping to be an important resource for parks; it is one of 12 baseline inventories of natural resources to be completed for all 270 national parks within the NPS I&M program. The Mojave Desert Network Inventory & Monitoring (MOJN I&M) began its process of vegetation inventory in 2009 for four park units as follows: Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LAKE), Mojave National Preserve (MOJA), Castle Mountains National Monument (CAMO), and Death Valley National Park (DEVA). Mapping is a multi-step and multi-year process involving skills and interactions of several parties, including NPS, with a field ecology team, a classification team, and a mapping team. This process allows for compiling existing vegetation data, collecting new data to fill in gaps, and analyzing the data to develop a classification that then informs the mapping. The final products of this process include a vegetation classification, ecological descriptions and field keys of the vegetation types, and geospatial vegetation maps based on the classification. In this report, we present the narrative and results of the sampling and classification effort. In three other associated reports (Evens et al. 2020a, 2020b, 2020c) are the ecological descriptions and field keys. The resulting products of the vegetation mapping efforts are, or will be, presented in separate reports: mapping at LAKE was completed in 2016, mapping at MOJA and CAMO will be completed in 2020, and mapping at DEVA will occur in 2021. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and NatureServe, the classification team, have completed the vegetation classification for these four park units, with field keys and descriptions of the vegetation types developed at the alliance level per the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC). We have compiled approximately 9,000 existing and new vegetation data records into digital databases in Microsoft Access. The resulting classification and descriptions include approximately 105 alliances and landform types, and over 240 associations. CNPS also has assisted the mapping teams during map reconnaissance visits, follow-up on interpreting vegetation patterns, and general support for the geospatial vegetation maps being produced. A variety of alliances and associations occur in the four park units. Per park, the classification represents approximately 50 alliances at LAKE, 65 at MOJA and CAMO, and 85 at DEVA. Several riparian alliances or associations that are somewhat rare (ranked globally as G3) include shrublands of Pluchea sericea, meadow associations with Distichlis spicata and Juncus cooperi, and woodland associations of Salix laevigata and Prosopis pubescens along playas, streams, and springs. Other rare to somewhat rare types (G2 to G3) include shrubland stands with Eriogonum heermannii, Buddleja utahensis, Mortonia utahensis, and Salvia funerea on rocky calcareous slopes that occur sporadically in LAKE to MOJA and DEVA. Types that are globally rare (G1) include the associations of Swallenia alexandrae on sand dunes and Hecastocleis shockleyi on rocky calcareous slopes in DEVA. Two USNVC vegetation groups hold the highest number of alliances: 1) Warm Semi-Desert Shrub & Herb Dry Wash & Colluvial Slope Group (G541) has nine alliances, and 2) Mojave Mid-Elevation Mixed Desert Scrub Group (G296) has thirteen alliances. These two groups contribute significantly to the diversity of vegetation along alluvial washes and mid-elevation transition zones.

Full textAbstract:
Concentrated flow erosion in rills, pipes, ephermal gullies, and gullies is a major contributor of downstream sedimentation. When rill or gullies form in a landscape, a 3- to 5-fold increase in soil loss commonly occurs. The balance between the erosive power of the flow and the erosion resistance of the bed material determines the rate of concentrated flow erosion. The resistance of the bed material to detachment depends primarily on the magnitude of the interparticle forces or cohesion holding the particles and aggregates together. The effect of soil properties on bed material resistance and concentrated flow erosion was evaluated both in the laboratory and field. Both rill erodibility and critical hydraulic shear were greater when measured in 9.0 m long rills under field conditions compared with laboratory mini-flumes. A greater hydraulic shear was required to initiate erosion in the field compared to the mini-flume because of the greater aggregate and clod size and stability. Once erosion was initiated, however, the rate of erosion as a function of hydraulic shear was greater under field conditions because of the greater potential for slaking upon wetting and the greater soil surface area exposed to hydraulic shear. Erosion tests under controlled laboratory conditions with the mini-flume allowed individual soil variables to be studied. Attempts to relate rill erosion to a group soil properties had limited success. When individual soil properties were isolated and studied separately or grouped separately, some trends were identified. For example, the effect of organic carbon on rill erodibility was high in kaolinitic soils, low in smectitic soils, and intermediate in the soils dominated by illite. Slow prewetting and aging increased the cohesion forces between soil particles and decreased rill erodibility. Quick prewetting increased aggregate slaking and increased erodibility. The magnitude of the effect of aging depended upon soil type. The effect of clay mineralogy was evaluated on sand/clay mixtures with montmorillonite (M), Illite (I), and kaolinite (K) clays. Montmorillonite/sand mixtures were much less erodible than either illite or kaolonite sand mixtures. Na-I and Na-K sand mixtures were more erodible than Ca-I and Ca-K due to increased strength from ionic bonding and suppression of repulsive charges by Ca. Na-M was less erodiblethan Ca-M due to increased surface resulting from the accessibility of internal surfaces due to Na saturation. Erodibility decreased when salt concentration was high enough to cause flocculation. This occurred between 0.001 mole L-1 and 0.01 mole L-1. Measuring rill erodibility in mini-flumes enables the measurement of cohesive forces between particles and enhances our ability to learn more about cohesive forces resisting soil detachment under concentrated water flow.
